Default RE: Old Webra 32

WOW Sorry Guys -- Looks like I stirred one up without trying. Thanks to you all. Dar -- I mix my own fuel and favor low nitro. 1.) I am not a very proficient flyer so "right on the edge" power for me is not required. I do not need high performance from my engines. 2.) Nitro is not terribly expensive here but it costs considerably more than methanol. As I am retired and on a limited income the less expensive the fuel the more I fly. 3.) My minor knowledge of chemistry tells me there are more calories in a liter of meth than a liter of nitro. So If you can get it to run why get the extra energy and save the money?

I am tired tonight but tomorrow I will post a pic or two and may give your instructions a try. At this point in time I have only 10% nitro mixed but if I can push it down I will add meth and oil to a guart or so and test. I assume FA1 is the name of a no nitro fuel. Boy, if I could get my engines to run on that I would save a bundle!
