Default RE: Going gas

There is a gasoline version of the Six Shooter: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXB889&P=7

I have one of these too and I really like it: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXRRD0&P=ML The can is just a Blitz brand 1 gallon gasoline container. I bought a spare at the local hardware store so I have a back-up gallon of gas ready to go when the other runs out.

The great thing about gasoline is that you really don't need to haul around a lot of extra stuff. You might want to pick up some tygon fuel tubing to carry in your flight box since it does get hard and brittle after a while. Maybe a spare spark plug might be a good idea too although I've never had to change or clean one at the field. You'll need some oil to mix with the gas too but you might already have that if you own a weed wacker or chainsaw.

Depending on the ignition system on the engine, I imagine your receiver should work fine. Make sure it is mounted a good distance from the engine and be sure to range test it. If you don't get any radio interference form the engine then fly and have fun.
