Can you explain to me the difference in the glow engines and the gas ones? The only thing I know is they run regular fuel instead of glow fuel. Why is the gas better then getting into the four stroke?

Thanks
Glow has more power to weight ratio since its burning Methanol and Nitromethane. Obviously it cost's more to run than gasoline. I don't think gas engines have an advantage until you start getting into large planes.
