OK, I have the Wagstaff 300 and am now considering a gas engine (BME 50).

I have absolutely no experience with gassers and have some questions:

1. Do I need any special starting equipment?
2. What gasoline do I use (literally, BP, Shell, am I nuts, etc?)
3. Do I need a special gas tank?
4. Does the gas engine need a "glo" warmer per se?

Thanks for responses and sorry for the really basic questions. I am trying to decide what type of engine would be best for me (and the plane), i.e. two stroke, four stroke or gas.

Use any 87 - 89 octaine gasoline but mix at least 32 to 1 with a quality two stroke oil.

I use Dubro glo tanks but you must use a fuel line made for gasoline. It's available at your local hobby shop. You must also use a tank plug made for gasoline for your vent and supply lines.

You will not need a glo warmer as gasoline engines use a spark plug, not a glo plug.

As for starting equipment, some flip them by hand but I use a Sullivan Dytronics starter with a Miller reduction unit. Saves fingers and keeps the old arm from getting sore.

Suggest you have a fire extinguisher handy also, never know.....
