Default this sucks

I get a solid 12 minutes flight time out of the Vmax6 engine on the stock 2oz tank running 30%nitro Heli mix from Hobbytown.

Hobbytown wants $12 a gallon for the fuel, which gives me some 64 flights at 2oz per. That comes out to 19 pennies per flight.

I might go through 2 gallons in a season, at 24$ total. I have bought some 10 gallons of fuel since I got the little LMH100+ back in 1996. At $120 for seven years of operating costs, this is about the only reason I haven’t converted over to electric. Well, besides the fact that the 120 wasn’t even a dream back in 1996.
