In the first place, I thought I was using the cheap fuel, or the dye is of cheap quality. Anyway, last week temperature was higher 30's which is pretty cold for Magnolia, TX, I have never flown the plane in that temperature, tomorrow I'd be flying, as I have bought the new fuel as well as the old one which I have. I never saw the fuel changed color, thats the first time happened to me.

I would have to do some twitching to my motor, Magnum .46 XLS and lets see how it behaves. It may have been due to the cold, or the fuel. I had 3 good flights, one dead stick, and on 5th flight, I cranked it up, but it refused to start, so I called it a day. Tomorrow I'm gonna use the old fuel and new fuel and feel the difference. I'm using O.S. #8 plug, thats what I usually use.

When I went to my LHS to purchase the new gallon of fuel, I asked him why did it change the color, he told me, was it exposed to the sun I said no, in fact it had never been exposed to the sun, and it had been sitting in the house then I moved it out to the garage. As the brand is my hobby shop's brand, and I was told by their sales person, that, it's being exported out of USA and it's being sold out through horizon hobby. Horizon hobby is not a cheap name, if the fuel was poor quality, why would be marketed through Horizon Hobby?

I use 10% Nitro, I was told that 10% Nitro is best, I have never used 5%.


Keep me posted with your experiences and I'm gonna update y'all tomorrow after my flying.

Thanks
