Default Conversion to gas

I'm new to the R/C flying world and have many questions.
1st- Can I install a gas motor onto an existing electric I purchased(Guanli Messersmicht) foam construction.
2nd- Will my 4 Channel Remote work with other planes(if on same channel)
3rd- How long do small gas engines run(.15-.35)
That's it for now, but I know Ill have alot of questions later.
Thanx

Q2..yes it should but make sure you have the corect crystles in it and do a few big range tests befour you fly
Q3..depends on how much fuel that you put in the tank

Most of the 25E type electric planes can be set up with a glow fuel .25 two stroke or .30 four stroke engine
