Default Do all gas engine planes require 4 channels?

Ya, that helped a lot. I am new to the hobby. I just got an electric plane this summer. Its a V-tail 3 channel plane. I have only had it since mid july and its already boring.


I want a gas powered. But...until you brought it to my attention I did not know there was a difference between gas and glow. Do you know of any sites that explain the difference?


Does gas have proportional control via a carburetor and glow does not? What are the 4 servo's for on a gas engine?

up-down, back-forth, engine speed (forgive my terminology, I am new to this). Whats the fourth for?

Thanks,


Wings
