Darn, I just bought a case of 10%. With so many different opinions on nitro content, I figured 10% would be a safe bet. I could add a little octane boost I have laying around for the drag bike, probably blow the head right off.lol J.K

With only 20 or so flights under my belt, I find my need for speed does not apply to learning to fly my LT40 or my Cubs. Nice and slow seems really fast to me right now and for 3D the G3.5 works great, I love the little red button.

I`ve read quit a few articles on the 4*, most were powered by your run of the mill .40 size 2 cycles and flew very well. So that's why I thought the 52 would be a good fit. And after the ease of breaking in the fourstroke, I`m switching over to them. And MinnFlyer is right, they do run cleaner.
10% nitro is fine for 4 strokes, I used it for two years before I got a deal on a couple of cases of 15%. The 15% fuel gave me 500 - 900 extra rpm depending on the engine so I will stick with it from now on, but the 10% worked fine.
