Default RE: Change to Synthetic Fuel

Hi!
Why don't use the French Motul "Micro" all synthetic oil??! This is a special glowengine oil made by the French racing-oil company MOTUL!
I have used it now for 3 years (been into R/C for 30 years)and it is certainly much better than castor oil!
As an active pylonracing flyer for 25 years I know that castor oil can stand higher tempertures than all brands of synthetic oil ...but this Motul "Micro" oil is certainly proving that some synthetic oil manufacturers know their thing....
Over here in Sweden it is very common to use 15% all synthetic oil...Most common brands are Aerosynth 2 and Aerosave made by the German company FUCHS.I prefere the French Motul "Micro" oil !
20% castor oil is something that belongs to the past....

Most flyers over here mix their own fuel and that way you can easily get the fuelmix you want.
I use 15% oil, 5% nitro and the rest Methanol.

Regards!
