Hi there all respectable senior flyers,

Here I come again with another question in order to find the answers of that question.

The reason I started that thread and wanted to ask the question that here in my country, I dont know about many other people in other cities of my country what they use, but we here used a simple fuel which is a combination of Methanol and castor oil. Methanol is 80% and castor oil is 20%. It's 80 rupees per liter & 320 rupees/g. $ 1.3 per liter and $5.3 per galon. Some people say here that Nitro is nearly 3,500 rupees per liter which is $53.33 per liter and we don't know some people are selling it 100% nitro, and some people are selling mixture of nitro which is also expensive nearl 600 rupees per liter which is $10 per liter or $40 per galon.

My question is What is Nitro Fuel and why does it call Nitro is it generic name or is it short of its chemical formula name? Is it a form of Hydrocarbons (CH)? Is it different from methanol or is purified form of methanol? Is nitro fuel used 100% in the glowplug planes or is it mixed with some fuel? What are the pros & cons of using nitro fuel? and one thing my common sense says that Nitro cannot be used 100%. What are the good brands of nitro and normal fuel in USA and their minimum to maximum price range?

Your comments, advices and clarifications would be highly appreciated like always.

Thanks

Mody
