I had occasion to take some WW II .303 British cartridges apart. the cordite in that ammo looked like fine spaghetti strands; burned very slow when lit with a match.
I have a Saito .82 that I got used with a 3D Hobby Shop demo airplane - a 55". WS Edge. They ran that engine on YS 20-20 fuel. I run it on Powermaster 10% nitro 2-stroke fuel with a small % of castor. Runs like a champ. I guess the 3DHS guys broke it in for me.
