I just purchased 4 cases of Coolpower. One cas of 10%, two cases 20% Pro-pattern, one case 30% Heli.

Final bill: $475.00

That should last me until end of June.

That's good old American fuel after it's imported to Europe.

Whoo! Thats almost $30 a gallon! Lots of flying too. I haven't flown in about a month now. Either I'm too busy with work, work around the house (cause I was too busy before), buying a new car, or when I can fly it's raining or blowing 20 knots. Hope to fly some tommorrow!

I feel your pain Mark. I'm glad I do not live in Belgium and have to import fuel. I just ordered 48 gallons of Wildcat %15 for our club. Total for fuel and shipping $574.00

UK Prices for Coolpower:

5% - $19
10% - $21
15% - $25
30% - $37

Now THATS EXPENSIVE!!!!

But I still use CP as its 1000x better than any of the rat pee that passes as fuel over here. The standard club brew is still 5% nitro and 20% Castor Times have changed, the english fuel market has stood still. Only Heli pilots and those in the 'know' have changed their fuel.
