One of our guys flys an O.S.FT300 with a mechanical spark advance. He has some trouble with the advance, but when it running, it runs strong and will tick over at around 1500. He uses regular 10%nitro glow fuel. He's flying it in a 1/4 scale Cap32 If memory serves me, he hasn't been out the the field when I'm there inseveral months now.

His setup intrigued me, and I've considered makeing the jump. I think that I woulduse one ofthe electronic advances though givenhis problems. Ipicked up an old Tartan Twin on ebay a while back,It was a glow version, buta conversion to igniton wouldbe very easy.The recomended fuel is menthol with around40 to one synthetic oil, even for glow. The guy I got it from claimed thathe run it on standard glow fuel. We'll see.
