Glow fuel is a lot cheaper if you make your own. I can buy methanol locally in bulk which is even better. I mix the methanol with Sig castor oil. I don't bother with nitromethane so my fuel is what you could call FAI blend. I love the smell of hot castor oil in the morning.
You would think as many people that fly glow some would make their own around here. One club has almost 70 members and I bet they use quite a bit of glow fuel. I know I used about five or six cases this year, but then I fly as much as I possibly can and I imagine I use more than most of the folks in the club.
