You should be able to get lawn boy ashless at any ACE hardware in the USA and Canada. I have never had a problem getting it, even in CA. That said, Bel-Ray S2 and Pennzoil petroleum based oils are also excellent.
I personally like the Bel-Ray - it does not have that "burning pencil" smell to it like the lawn boy, I use the LawnBoy though as that is what everyone says provides the fastest run-in.. my zenoah really likes it too!

Sparhawk - my cowl is cut straight, usually you simply mount it at a slight angle or mount it straight and let the prop flange look crooked. Mine is perfectly aligned at 0 degrees..


The best combo for the DA ignition is EITHER a 4 cell Nicad / NiMH of adequate capacity 1200 mAh + OR a Lithium Ion regulated at 5.1 volts DO NOT let the voltage go above 6V.. you will greatly shorten the life of your ignition. If you use an unregulated 5-cell NiMh you will go over 6V!! I use Fromeco Li-Ion 2200 mah ($22) and a duralite fail safe 5.1V regulator ($35) money well spent. If you don't want to spend $57 on batteries go with a 4 cell NiMh from hangtimes hobbies, a 1500 maH is about $25 bucks. It weighs a little more, but its cheap!

I went with Li-Ion on this plane as I needed the weight savings, but I use the Relions on everything.. it makes life a lot easier when you only have one type of battery and charger! Even my 10X has a Li-Ion battery.

FYI - my 2200 mah li-Ion Ignition battery has about 21 flights on it and it still has 7.2V left under a .5A load. You don't need a huge ign battery!
