Installing a G26 and I'm new to gas. Should I use the Zenoah oil (at 32:1) ...... or would a better oil (like Amsoil or Stihl) be a better option ? Also, what prop is best for this engine ?

Thanks. Bob

You can run a 16X8, 17X6, or 18X6 prop. I always use Pennzoil Air Cooled at 32:1 or 40:1. It's more of a personal preference thing.

Hello guys, I'm new to gas engines also, I have no idea what the fuel consumption is with a G 26 engine. What would be a good tank size for a 10 or 15 minute flight? How does gas compare to glow as far as fuel consumption goes? Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Thank You,
Gerry

The gas engines burn a lot less gasoline than the glow engines will burn glow fuel

A 12 oz tank should be about right for a G26 on Gas

I've got CGs, Throws, ect, under control! I've been flying & building RC planes for over 35 yrs..but I don't know anything about gasline engines in my RC airplanes, I've always used glow engines. But I'm about to find out!

once you go gas you are going to love it...of course ill never stop flying glow planes, but right around 1.20 glow size planes it's pretty much where i draw the line and go gas
