You have to get glow fuel. The Tower.40 WILL NOT run on gasoline without an expensive and painful conversion. If you do not know where a local hobby shop is in your area, try to find a local flying club and ask the members where they buy glow fuel. Put your zip code in the search box at http://www.modelaircraft.org/clubsearch.aspx and it will find clubs in and around that area. If email contact doesn't work, call the contact number. A lot of RC pilots do not spend a lot of time on email but most do answer the phone.
