Kochj,
As is being stated/reviewed in this thread, the reason people run glow instead of gas is because glow has a better power to weight ratio. It is physics, plain and simple. Changing the rules of the event will not change the physics. Increase the allowable size and weight, and the best performing planes will still be glow (or electric), just bigger and more expensive than they are now. Bigger and more expensive is certainly not going to attract new interest.
Regards,
Dave

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...
