Ihaven'tgiven it much thought. For the planes I have flown so far, when the motor quits, it's time to land and recharge. I have to rethink that thought though, my next plane will have a gas motor, so I will need to get into the habit or recharging the RX and Ign packs.<div></div><div>I stillhaven'tpurchased the packs for the P-51. I discovered last night the RX for my Futaba will take 7.4 volts so I can use a 2S 25C 2000 mah pack for the RX. That will save some weight and give me quite a few flights, but want to stick with 4.8 for the ignition, too many reviews showing problems with higher voltage.</div>
you will love gas! long flight times and cheap fuel! well, cheaper than batteries or nitro

This is another thread (not related to the original question)but what are the smallest available gas engines equivalent to (compared to an equivalent nitro) ? I understand they are much more reliable as well.
