ARTF with Gas engines?
I was just wondering who makes the ARTF plane kit with gas engines? I like nitro but after seeing my brothers new Petro Engine in his MOnster truck it makes me go MMMmmmm.
Thanks

the funtana looks pretty nice

What would be a good Petro engine for it? Where could i find pricing on Petro Engine for planes?
How is the maintenance on the PETRO vs NITRO?
What is the usual run time on the Petro planes?

Madgti,
There are tons and tons of companies that make gas ARFs out there.. Here are some of my favorites- I especially am pleased with my several gasoline powered Kangkes that I have owned:

As far as your funtana you were interested in, I am not sure that would be the best plane to use gasoline with. You would need a pretty small, powerful, lightweight gas engine for that to work well and there aren't many engines that fit that bill. You are better off looking bigger. Check out Kangke above. They have some great planes designed for gas. You can purchase them direct or from chief aircraft and tower hobbies.

WOW thanks for the info.
Now do you guys buy from the dealer or buy from direct from the website?
Also do you have any favorite gas boats?
I need to know the PROs and Cons of the PETRO engines vs NITRO engines. Petro ofcourse is more but i was wondering if it is worth it since the upkeep on the NITRO can be pretty expensive and a headache to tune at times.

RE: ARTF with Gas engines?
BY the way this will be my first GAS powered plane but i have experience with gliders, and electric power planes....
What style of plane do you reccomend that is great for tricks, and low speed flying (incase i run out of gas HAHA) but i don't mind gliding back down every once in a while.
Reccomendations ?
What PETRO engine would be good for this? http://www.kangkeusa.com/Super_Kraft/cap232sport.htm
Aslo what is the general run time on a PETRO and NITRO
