Note: this is the first time that I've tried diesel in the Cheetah. It's got about 18hrs of Jet A through it.

Throttle response was exactly the same after the initial start when the ECU had to recalibrate itself for diesel.

I think I'm hooked, buy it at the corner gas station, no smell and way cheaper than Kero or Jet A. Going to try it in my Jetcats next and see if I get the same results.

Had my Hawk out at Wingham also. What a nice flying plane. My CG is moved back from the recomended and now it lands like a putty cat at a walking pace.

Thanks for the pic RC Pete.
