Default RE: Gas/Glow engine icy day start-up

I am sure its getting plenty of oil, but it does not smoke like it is getting too much. I think the most of the oil may be Klotz a synthetic oil. The 2 oz of 32-1 Penzoil was a mistake....I grabbed the wrong gas container when mixing. I noticed it seem to run well so I continued running that mix until its gone. Like its been said, more oil...more power to a point! I am going to try a no Nitro mix next summer and less oil with more compression. The big Supertigers (high compression) run good with no Nitro. I did not rev the engine in the video to top RPM. Those kinda loose bearings may cause a mishap in very cold weather with a APC none-wood prop. Now I got to figure out how t get the prop hub off without damage. It may need to bee heated if there is locktite in threads. Best Regards capt,n
