Clarence,

I am looking for a good article or discussion about gas vs. glow and/or 2 stroke vs gas or 4 stroke. Pro’s and con’s? I’ve moved from electric to glow and am looking at 80” wingspan planes now and I’m trying to evaluate the different engine options. Seeking some education.

Thanks-

Eddie



Dear Eddie,

There have been quite a few articles published in the various model publications on gas versus glow and 2-stroke versus 4-stroke engines including several discussions I have did in the column in past years. However, I have never kept an index on these articles. I would suggest you purchase a copy of the "Airplane Engine Guide" available through MAN's "RC Store" department. I believe that much of the information provided will help you with your selection.

Yours,

Clarence Lee
