Default RE: OS 55AX Bio Ethanol

But can you get the fuel? Locally (Australia) I don't think it's readily available.
Sorry, OS will supply bio-ethanol glow fuel BE-1 when they release the engine,
US$30/4 litter. You can see it behind the engine in the picture.
Bio-ethanol fuel does not vaporize enough in low temp(7 deg celsius or below),
so it is said that we have to warm up the engine with rich needle before flying
in a cold day.
