Let me step in the middle here. Use Morgan Fuels Omega 10% and you will find it's a fuel that can be used for most glow engines as your squadron grows.
No no!! You must use Power Master 15% or your engines will never run!
I think I have tried every brand of fuel on the market and all of them seem to work very well. I buy the brand that is on sale. About the only thing I have stuck with is the 15% nitro but only because it works very well in every size of engine I use.
Only reason I use PM most the time is I have always gotten it at a good price, when PM isn't on sale then I usually go to the Omega but I have to drive across town to get it.
You know I live a couple of miles from Chief Aircraft and I can get a real good deal on Power Master. But the stuff stinks and my wife hates the smell, it runs just fine. We even had a club member whose Dr told him he was allergic to it. Me I've been flying since I was a kid and Omega works just fine and I always recommend it to new pilots. Now personally I've bought and flown many many different types of fuel but I'm not just starting out. I once bought several cases of Red Maxx at our clubs swap meet that was so cheap I could not pass it up. But Power Master is against the wifes rules and she flies also so I don't use it. A friend game me some O'Donnell fuel early this year and I was quite unimpressed. But it was free so I burned it. Now if someone would just give me some free gas for my truck!. I'm with you Gray Beard, most of it is just fine. But Omega is awful good for the new kids.
