Don't get the wrong impression from the YS, usually a 170 rarely needs adjustment, and it is usually done only once if needed, also, the needle valve is almost always in the same position, you can change field and no touch it at all, it is one of the most maintenance free engine available in my opinion.
But yes, gas is cheaper, and has it's advantages, even though is not written, I know that a lot of people is hoping a good gas engine will come out soon.

Gas runs very clean, that’s for sure.... could even take out a spacer, to raise the compression to compensate for the lack of nitro....
Also...
It is time for the F3A to UPDATE there rules, instead of making a engine and aircraft manufactures comforming to
RIDICULUSS weight and size rules to which Gas engines and many aircrafts cannotCONFORM to!!!....
THIS is FAR from the f1 of aircrafts as F3A was once thought to be...
If they wanted to change with technology then they need to be WITH the TIMES and NOt running
against them!
Increase the SIZE limit of the plane, and Increase the weight limit....
This would benefit EVERYONE.... instead of chasing newcomers away...
