Maudib ... I take offence to what you are saying, you are definately knocking me!!! This is most unacceptable!!!!


Just kidding ok ... seriously, its true that a 50cc gasser costs a little more but then when you put in the cost of a plane that huge and the servos (digital high torque) that go with it, its a very different ball game from a 26cc.

Point taken on your additional weight for a gasser but remember you only need an 8 oz tank for each flight, compare that with a 24 oz of a glow! We are taking at least 10oz lighter in fuel and that will more than cover the extra weight for batt/ignition/engine. Also, 10 oz at lift off means the plane does not reach its sweet spot for the first 4-5 mins. Also, 8 oz is nothing on a good 72" plane ... your wing loading will only increase no more than 1.5 oz/sq foot. Get a nice 72" that weights 9.5 lbs and the extra 1/2 lb is nothing. Remember most GSP 72" planes are about 13 lbs and everyone says how great they fly!

Now in Malaysia a gallon of 15% is about USD15. For gas it will cost only no more than USD4.00 (includes lube). So each 8-10 min flight on a 160 glow will set you back about USD2.00. On a gasser it will be like 50c only. So you can see the savings are tremendous once you walk into the 160 sized arena.

Over to you now! Hahahaa ...
