ACtually I didnt post anything that can be disagreed with. All facts no opinions.
Everything you posted can easily be disagreed with because you fly on false & misleading info.

Name one thing of my post that is inaccurate.


Gas is heavier, more dangerous, smells bad, less powerful, can't keep the plane in the house because of smell and dangerous fumes that could ignite particularly if leaks occur.
Except for the smell issue (only an issue for the girls anyway), ALL false!!!

Also issues for people that dont live like a slob or that dont want to live in a place that smells like a gas station.

I didnt say gas was not close to the power of glow, i said its less powerful and thats 100% true.
No it's false!
Just one example; a DLE20 is supposed to equivalent to a 1.20 glow, yet the DLE20 gasser is more equal to a Saito 1.50 (almost - better than a 1.20, not quite as good as a 1.50).
also innacurate, i own both engines and the dle 20 isnt even close to the ax 120

And throttle reponse, when you get into the bigger gas response is good but when you fly 3d like i
Do you notice throttle response or the lack therof on the smaller gas engines. Its common practice
To do throttle curves on small gassers to help this.
Wow, where do you get such nonsense from? from actual experience

If your needing a throttle curve on any glow or gasser, it's because you don't understand the need for proper mechanical linkage geometry BEFORE any throttle curve.

By your own admission you fly only gas & electric. I see no evidence of you having true experience with gassers. this is a complete lie

Neither gas, glow, nor electric are 'best'. If we asked the FF or turbine group they'd each be laughing at us.
finally you are correct, there is no "best" there are planes best suited for all kinds o0f power plants.
But there is one absolute undesputable fact, there is not one rc gas engine that will put out equal power to the same size glow engine. it has to do with how much air the alcohol is able to burn this is why you use so much more nitrofuel than gas.
To the original posters question, gas powrered planes are not one bit more addictive than any other power source.
