I have 26cc, 40cc & 50cc gassers and am finding it very difficult to see any advantages to gas under 50cc other than somewhat cheaper to operate and if I was that strapped for cash I would find another hobby. Again my .02 worth.
No goo to wipe off the plane.
Nothing like spending the day flying, and wiping you plane down in 30 seconds.
That right there is enough reason to switch to gas if you can get the performance you like.
Just visit the thread on the MVVS 26cc and see how much trouble MANY of us are having with "black goo" on our planes. I have never seen anything like it, the covering on the stab of my plane is completely discolored from it and there is no way to get it off. I have several glow planes as well as several gassers and with the proper exhaust the glow planes are no harder to clean up than the gassers. I have a pattern ship with a YS 140 / Hatori pipe that you can fly all day and not even have to clean it. Cleaner planes with a gasser is a myth if you do it right.
