Re: Gas Engines [TANKS]

[Kevin Ross <kjrcartoons-at-yahoo.com.au>]

Hi frank
the major problem with gas engines is:

1 noise that's the easy way of loseing your ground you
play on. One complant that's it.

2keeping the motor at good temp. thay get very hot and
will not run proply.

3 fire is the biggy they will burn everthing.

The Most Importent thing is Noise.

I know because it was very hard to find a flying feild
that was clear of people that could  or would complan.
