I just made the decision to try a gasser thanks the the ''Cost of Glow Fuel'' thread running. It is not about cost for me, but for realism. RCU member MTK (Thanks MTK!) opened my eyes to the fact that you can run aviation fuel in a gasser, which adds the smell of real flying into the picture. The weed eater smell has kept me away from gassers up to now, but with radios needing revamping, I figure this is a good time to give gas a shot. I fly a lot off my own runway so all this makes sense.

For nostalgia reasons, I just bought a brand new ignition Tartan 77 twin. My RC mentor from 20 years ago had a single Tartan and I always loved how that ran and sounded. I know there are stronger engines around, but we all have our own reasons for what we do in the hobby. Pretty familiar with reed valve two stroke engines as well so that helps.
