Thanks for another really interesting insight.

I suppose you can say that I'm just an old stick in the mud. I've always run 20% Coolpower oil in my own mixes. (Makes the mixing calculations easy for someone who isnt too bright) and also something about old habits die hard.

What I do know is that I have seen plenty of people fry engines when they have low oil contents and screw the needle too hard, or for what ever reason have a lean run and just keep going in hope.

I've never had an engine failure from 'cooking it' (touch wood), but I have warn them out from having huge flying hours (Up to 2,500 flights) prior to an International competition.

I will now take out a model and give it a run, maybe short, on a lower content oil content and see if I can notice an imporvement, or if as I suspect, I will just chicken out and go back to what I know best

Thanks again

Phil
