Default RE: Gas or Glow?


ORIGINAL: samolot

Hey guys,

Lately ive been seeing gas engines that are able to replace .60 sized glow engines that cost very little in the long run. I just want to know the benefits on each because im thinking about getting a .60 sized gasser. All i know is that fuel is less expensive for gas and that you dont have to wipe your plane of oil after every flight. Is this true?

Thanks again!

I have both gas and glow and like them both. In my opinion gas engines are not for 60 size airframes. Weight, prop clearance, landing gear height and strength, and firewall structure will be problems. Most small gas engines go in 120 size airframes.

Go for it but not in a 60.
