Default RE: Fuel

abraxas, could you please inform us of what motor you are going to use, as this info will help us in determining if you need to add nitro to your fuel , as some motors do require it. Secondly, a synthetic oil used broadly across the world is "Cool Power oil", You mix this with methonal at the rate of 4, to 1, or 80%methonal, and 20% cool power oil. For the majority of engines this is a good mix, any nitro is added as a percentage of the methonal, that is if 10%nitro is used then only 70%methonal is required , the oil content remqains the same at 20%.
Finally, welcome to the wonderful world of model flying, and have a merry Christmas
