Default YS 170 CDI on low nitro



Hi all,

Accordingly to the DZ170CDI Operator's manual, this engine could be used with less than 30% nitromethane. The manual states textually:

" Use a good quality alcohol based model engine fuel containing 0% to 25% nitro, and oil content 5% to 25% ............"

Is anyone using this engine on low nitro, say 10-15 % ? . If so, How does it perform regarding reliability and power ? . Of course, I don't expect the engine to have the same power on 15 % nitro, but, does it do the job, I mean P-11 (P-13) F3A schedule ?

Thanks in advance for your inputs !

Enrique
