Tip For Super Tiger Owners Only!!
Ok here is a tip to keep your Super Tiger looking great and to prevent that black stuff from building up on the motor. I saw a helicopter pilot doing this and adapted it for my Super Tiger engines. After you finish flying use a pump bottle with pure alcahol (no oil) ( I buy pure methanol for $3 a gallon-=cheaper than some cleaners) to mist the engire engine till it drip off and use a toothbrush to aid if you wish. This flushes any remaining castor oil off the engine which will prevent it from carbonizing and turning black. The alcahol will quickly evaporate and then you can use some spray like Fantastic, 409, Windex to finish the job. I like to open my carb to allow the alcahol to evaporate out of the carb but once you get home use an old foam ear plug to seal out any dust and you are ready to store until next flying session.
