Status: offline 		Wow...that seems to be an awful lot of amyl nitrate, usually it's about half that. We used to use 1.5% in an MVVS .15 when practising for a CL team race but on the day of our first competition the engine went from being a one flick starter every time to a finger slicing monster. There was no way I could get it to run and I had blood all over both the model and myself. It wasn't until maybe 25 years later that my team mate confessed to me he figured that if 1.5% amyl nitrate was good then twice as much must be better! I remember telling him at the time that I thought someone had spiked our fuel but I didn't realise he'd done it to me
