Fuel
Hi Everyone ... well I'm going from flying rubber band planes and slingshot planes to glow fuel. I'm a bit confused about the different types of glow fuel available. A few guys at the local club told me to stay away from nitro in the fuel and to use straight methanol because Nitro can pit the engine. I assume because Nitro attracts moisture and I do live in a humid environment. Any opinions on this?
Also I guess there is some sort of lubrication in the fuel (especially since the engine is two stroke). Does this come pre-mixed in the fuel you get at the shop or do you have to add it? And how much is a good amount of lubrication? What do you use as a lubricant I've read castor oil (wasn't that the stuff your mother used to give you to go to the toilet?), Castro oil (I guess the Cuban dictator has been crushed ... but I never though so much!), and Castrol .... so I'm a bit confused on this too. If anyone can shed some light I'd be really happy!
