For R/C vehicles, you have two basic types of powerplants: electric or combustion. I don't know much about combustion engines but there are three types: gasoline, nitro and turbine. Nitro is one type of fuel...doesn't work the same as NOS in real cars...it's not injected when needed. You buy nitro from the same hobby store you buy your R/C airplane or heli kits. Power needs between airplanes and helicopters are different. The helicopter have higher power demands, just like aerobatic/3D flying requires more demand than gentle cruising.

Turbine-powered aircraft are cool. They are very expensive and use up a lot of fuel, but sounds like the real thing. Search turbine RC airplane (or heli) on youtube and you'll see what I mean.
