Default RE: Fuel for old engines

The way this thread started was because of  the extreme cost of the has-mat to get the fuel. I was looking for some local sources to mix my own fuel and that came down to the need for the nitro. I didn't have a problem getting the Castor oil and I discovered that the methanol is readily  available where I live. The methanol is actually cheaper than gasoline. The big problem was nitro. I tried 30% castor and 70% methanol and it works just fine. It makes me kind of wonder what the nitro actually dose.
