Want the extra protection of castor oil that you're not getting in Cool Power but like how Cool Power runs and want to stay with Morgan fuels?
Omega is basically Cool Power with some percentage of the synthetic replaced with castor.
It's worked good for me ever since I got back into the hobby. I sold an engine that had one year's worth of flights to a buddy who promptly crashed it. When he continued the disassembly to salvage some parts to rebuild one of his he discovered his had rust and mine was shiny and bright. He switched to Omega then and there.
It is wonderful to see that a number of pilots have figured out that castor, in use for well over 50 years, actually does something in a model engine. Looks sometimes like newer modelers are either allergic to castor or its taste.
I always did say it is not synthetic v.s. castor, there are some very good properties of each. If you want a decent engine that will last between a long time and forever, just get yourself an Enya, break it in nicely with a couple of gallons of fuel, and then run either an all-castor fuel or a half and half like SIG Champion 10% in it. The idea that modern engines with better metallurgy and construction somehow need less oil to function is at best and illusion. It is good to see the Tower ads with the race cars next to the liners and pistons.
