Gas engines in this size plane are not going to be enough power compared to the glow equivilant.

Gas is a waste of of money in this size plane, and 9 times out of 10 it adds too much weight and effects the performance of the plane while not giving you enough power to 3D the way you want.

The only way to really get a 26cc engine working on this size / weight of plane is to put a tuned pipe on the engine. That will wake up the engine and give you 500-1000 rpms which is a night and day difference on any engine.


rcplanenut: I think you are going to run into similar issues with this gas engine as well. However add the pipe to it and you will be happily surprised.
