Default new with gasoline engines - help

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 1px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 1px; ">I looked around on horizon hobby and their engines started in the 300 dollar price range. I came across these two engines on troybuiltmodels.

17cc - http://www.troybuiltmodels.com/items/RCSSV17-H.html - $179.00
26cc - http://www.troybuiltmodels.com/items/RCSSV26.html - $209.00

Questions:

These engines are made from a Chinese company. I don't know where the engines are made from from horizon hobby. On the manual they tell you your warranty. So, how do these engines compare to the horizon hobby engines? They say the 17cc engine will power 60 to 90 size aircraft, so would this be better than glow engines? Also, what do you need for a 60 to 90 size (17cc) aircraft and a 120 size (26cc) to get it going? I have a 6 channel receiver and don't worry about the servos but for these engines what type of battery, starting equipment, or another things you might need? Other things I might need to know tell me?</span>
