Status: offline 		I have a 1/3 Sopwith Pup with a G-62 that i don't fly very often, last time out they said it smelled like the gas was stale, my nose is not very sensitive and I could not tell the difference.
How much performance is likely to be lost with stale gas?
How often should you replace gas to insure it is fresh?

Status: offline 		Thanks for the tip, I see Lowes also has 2 stroke oil with the stabilizer already in it. I been using lawnmower oil but I see from the posts the guys are using different kinds, Amsoil, etc. What kind do you use?
