Default RE: Where do I begin?

Thanks everyone for all the advice!

The fuel jug on the field box is empty, so I am not sure what to get for that. It is a super tigre .61 engine.
Welcome to RCU and to a hobby that can be fun and frustrating at the same time.

Here is the fuel recommendation from page 11 of the Super Tigre engine manual (available free on this page) http://www.supertigre.com/manuals/index.html
================
The recommended fuel for your SuperTigre engine should contain a minimum of 18% - 20% oil (either Castor oil, Synthetic oil, or a blend of the two), 0%-15% nitromethane and the balance Methanol. Almost all of the fuels on the hobby market with between 0% and 15% Nitro content will be fine, but you may get better results from a Premium fuel as opposed to a Sport fuel.
================
Would something like this work? http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...LXGHA9&P=0

The lubricant level is slightly less than the low end of the recommended range, so Iam thinking Ineed to find a higher oil content?
