RE: does fuel choice effect flight time?
I have been modeling since 1974. I'm not losing anything, I scratch build 80% of my planes, (Instant Gratification, I don't think So) I also have some ARFs. I still paint my planes. It is just painful for me to kneel on the ground to start & adjust Nitro engines. I took a fall while working on a Motor Grader & totally mess up my back. I'm a Retired( Not By My Own Choice) professional Mechanic. As far as working on my own car, unless you invest the money into the scan tool, you can't figure out whats wrong with it, unless you drive a dinosaur. You can start swapping parts and hope you hit the right part. The days of shade tree mechanic are gone. Just like changing your own oil, it's a lost cause. By the time you buy the parts, find a place to recycle your dirty oil, add in your time, your losing money. Do you check all your fluid levels when you change oil, do you vacuum the car, get a free car wash, and be done in 20 minutes all for 30 bucks. As far as my charger goes, it will charge any battery out there, from Lipos to my car battery. I use it to cycle my transmitter batteries, flight pack batteries, yes I still use them on larger Electrics
