Some more pro's for gasoline:
- more flight time for the same size fuel tank. (power at a MUCH lower RPM, so fuel lasts longer)
- More realistic sound.
- No oily residue to clean off the plane.
- Less field equipment - no starter or battery to lug around if you flip-start by hand.
- Less affected temperature changes.
