Can one use ether instead of Nitro in glo fuel ? If so what are the advantages and disadvantages ? This is for flying model planes !!!
I've never heard of this mate. Ether in diesels is used to provide the initial fire to get the motor running. Additional power in diesels is obtained by using more kerosene (roughly the equivalent of nitro).
Is there a problem getting nitro in SA? Ether can be a bit of a problem.
