Dick: Well no they offer different models with different engines... this is an engine that requires mods outside of the stock confguration to achieve advertsied power. I would be pretty dissapointed if I read in the manual something other than advertised specs after I had already made my purchase.
We will have to agree to disaggree it looks like
Ed: Wow you really came in from the left field and didnt read the thread or misunderstood it. No one here is comparing glow to gas. I don't even fly engines this small.

Quique's plane is intended for a glow engine in the 1.60 - 1.80 cubic inch size. IIRC, you complained about poor performance with a similar sized gas engine (Evolution 26GT). One would not expect a gasoline/petrol fueled 1.6 sized engine to compete heads up with a glow fueled 1.60 engine, unless they lacked knowledge about the difference between the two types of fuels being used. This is all that I said. No left field to it.
