to the OP...

it shows that you are located in the US...

while 0% nitro fuel is quite common in Europe, it is not so much here.. and can be a challenge to find....
This is true, most LHS don't stock FAI but I fly with a couple of Moki guys and they just buy there own methanol and Castor oil then mix there own. Any glow engine will run with FAI but the higher the compression the better. It's just a mater of tuning for it. The low end can be a problem. I have one, maybe two little .25s that ran very well with FAI fuel. Been a while and I can't remember the make/brand. I know they are no longer imported here.
