RE: 1st attempt at gas, MAYBE!!
UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
went with the FUJI IVMAC 43. Very easy to start the first time. ran through about a gallon on the ground with a 20-8 prop. Saw some elevator flutter which turned out to be the servo reverser i was using. got rid of it and used mixing instead. flutter gone. taxi out and off she went.
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lots and lots of power!!!!!!!!!!
