Running methanol with spark is great. The engine designed for methanol doesn't have any trouble with the carb or cooling. They start easy and with spark run much leaner so you still save fuel. The power loss going to no nitro is small. If you can easily get no nitro fuel or methanol and mix your own it's just as convenient as getting a gallon of gasoline.
I just done some trading and now own a Saito 1.50 engine. My plan is to mix my own fuel and use a Rcxcel ignition or simular and Klotz oil. I may use a 16-1 oil ratio to start with. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks Capt,n
