Have you noticed an increased amount of smoke when running FAI fuel?
Not really, but that's probably because all I ever use is either true FAI (80/20 all castor) or an oily FAI (75/25 all castor)
. Actually I learned something new the other day when I was reading through some FAI rules. I've always used only Castrol M castor but the rules specifically mention Castrol M as not allowed because it has some additives in it. Only pure, first pressing castor is legal so in fact I
don't use FAI fuel! No problem of course because there's no way I'm getting into CL speed, RC pylon or FF power
.
This is correct. In theory ....
I was Team manager in a control line WCH held in western Europe some time ago ( not too long ago..): when I went in the organizers office to collect the official speed (F2A) fuel they where just mixing it with..you guess, Castrol M ! Being aware of the rules I asked why they where using it: "to use the better product !" was the answer.
'nuff said ! nobody complained !
