Gas is more fuel-efficient, but has a lower power to weight ratio. Gas has more torque so it can swing larger props.

Mainly size in our planes. The Smallest gas engine I know of is 26 cc, whcih is about 1.50 ci, so a large plane is required.

The vast majority of our RC planes are glow powered, until you get up to 1/4 scale and larger, then they're predominantly gasoline.
