Default RE: Fuel for a RL53

Hi

Well, nitro is not my main concern, I mainly do F3C type flying and light 3D when my thumbs have warmed up. So 30% nitro will do more damage to my wallet, than make my heli fly better

My concern is the oil content. Coolpower has 17- 18%. the Redline requires 25% oil for breakin and 20% thereafter (According to the manual) Preferably with some castor, but I am NOT keen using castor in my heli fuels

So I can either add some oil or use different fuel. My LHS has Morgan's LV and MV fuel that contains 22% oil. So I might use that.
