I remember those days. You used to decide which oil to use, mineral or vegetable, and you stuck with it in your engine. You could not mix them. Many gas stations used to carry both so people could top off their oil reservoir as needed too. At the time most of the engines had a warning sticker on them about not mixing castor or mineral oils too.

Now don't forget you can add different scents to your gasoline/oil mix too. I bought a couple of these scents a few years ago, but never tried them out as of yet.

Suspect you drive thru more gas fumes driving to your flying site than you ever do when you get there. I don't make a habit of breathing any of it any longer than possible. The newer gas blends are very clean and must be so to sell at the corner filling station.

Freaking stink! Especially when it goes bad a month after you buy it. Yuck.

gas in the car and lawnmower. Chainsaw and weed trimmer get gas/glow 1/3-2/3.

Gas clean? From lead, but that's about it.

How about the smell of burning Lipo batteries? Anybody experienced that? That has to be bad!!!

The incidence of people getting brain cancer is noticeably higher around petroleum refineries.

We all will have to go to hand launch gliders, or maybe for the more adventurous, Slope Soaring!! Oh, no, still batteries.

hsukaria

But those don't have to be Lipo batteries, so no fireballs.

fireballs = 1/2 the fun

I would love to try slope soaring someday, but no slopes near where I live.

I have one right in the back yard. Slopes on to Lake Erie with big rocks on the bottom. Problem is there are trees on one side, so only about 100 feet wide. I did try a little foamy there, and it was ok, Well that was before we put up the Trump wall at the top of the hill. Got to keep him out of the country here. Everywhere else here is flatland.

hsukaria

The lake was not enough? You had to build a wall also? You could just put mines in lake Eerie....

the pope

U better hope trump doesn't view that statement as some sort of threat ! Otherwise he might send some fire and fury raining down on your a%r$e , his wife !!

hsukaria

He might dump a bunch of Lipo batteries in lake Eerie!!!

the pope

Hi there husky , how's it going ? Maybe the electric eels can balance charge them .

hsukaria

Doing fine, popey. It's been mostly windy this summer, so less flying than normal for us. Slope soaring would have been great if available.

the pope

I have tried slope soaring and I cant say Im a big fan . Cold as , snot running down your face and a 2k walk just to get there . Thats just the good points not to mention trying to get your wayward models and the worst part of all the exercise . Cheers

My wife and his wife both speak the same language. Maybe those two could take over the world.

Love the smell of burnt Castor. Been smelling it since 1954.

hsukaria

I used to live in Weatherford, TX some years ago. I didn't do glow fuel during those years though.

What will the next generation say? I love the smell of burned Lipo batteries in the morning?

This hobby is also classified as a sport, believe it or not. Sure beats golf!!!
