Thanks, Michael; that's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks to you too, nogyro.

camss69, the deal on the white gas is odor; or, more specifically, the lack thereof. I keep my models in the house; now that all the kids are gone (thank God!), I have three spare bedrooms, and I took over one as a model room.

I had a gas helicopter a few years back, and despite all precautions (empty tank, tightly plugged vents, etc.), the gasoline odor permeated the house. And the only way I could keep the odor from permeating my Explorer during the trip to the field was to put the jug into a military ammo can. That kept the odor in, but after about an hour the warm ambient temperatures caused enough expansion to pop the vent and fill hoses, so when I opened the can... IOW, my initial experience with gasoline was very unsatisfactory.

A few buddies are running this Coleman-style lantern fuel in their gas helicopters, and tell me there is NO odor at all, during use OR storage. Apparently, there are several brands of this "white gas" lantern fuel besides the Coleman label; my good friend Bill Meador, who is THE gas helicopter guru, uses the brand Wally World sells.

Bill, all the reading I've done so far is guiding me toward the Taurus. Apparently they are among the most expensive of the gassers, but what's another $100+ extra when I've already sunk this much into an airplane.

And I thought the freakin' helicopters were expensive...[&o]
