RE: Best fuel for trainer?
The smaller Magnums will run just fine on 5% Nitro, saving you a bundle on fuel costs...
But this makes their already touchy needles a bit touchier.
Start out with 15-10% and get the engine tuned up and fully broken in.
You can later switch to 5%, or stay with 10%.
On my larger Magnums I fly with 5% exclusively.
