This thread might be better named RC Model Planes so it will be found more easily by those interested.

having been inviolved with radio control modelling for many years cars boats planes it is not as easy to do stunts with a fuel powered plane as the fuel can be difficult to keep up to the engine with all the sudden change in directon and so on,, now while it is not easy to over come it is however not impossible,,,keeping the fuel tank full all the time and keeping it pressureised is one way of over coming the problem. The reason electric is popular for stunt work is that you always have a constant supply of power from the battery, and don't have to worry about power surging...So endeth the lesson for today boys and girls...
