ORIGINAL: Tsutomu Mabuchi

OS MAX 55AX-BE. Will be released in July. MSRP 20000yen(US$165)
Uses Bio Ethanol fuel with 10% Biodegradable oil, BE-3 glow plug.
10200 rpm with APC 13x6, more than 15 min flight with a 180cc tank.
The exhaust smells of liquor.
The magazine says OS plans to release FS56-BE next.

I use 100% bio fuel. Methanol and castor oil. Ok most of the time I mix in 5 to 20% non bio fuel, Nitro, but the methanol can be made from wood, and the castor oil comes from a plant.
