Its B.S.! Not selling fuel with more than 20% nitro? Come on guys, what the heck is going on here? They'll have to pry my transmitter from my dead body, they ain't getting it.

Before you all panic why don't you look at the AMA website.

seems that there is alway a nutcase out there somewhere.
now i guess we just cry over the unneeded attention he caused for us.

:stupid:

Guess they wont let me say what needs to be said about this Guy go to clubhouse in RCUniverse for more info

The Clanton Advertiser links for the articals no longer work. Just give a message to contact their newsroom.

However, when it was originally posted, I read the article.

The article stated that they were wanting to restrict the sale of any model fuels containing more than 20% nitro-glycerine!!!

HOW MANY fuel manufacturers use NITRO-GLYCERINE in MODEL FUELS???

Nitro-METHANE SURE... It's an effective oxidizer to boost the power.

Nitro-GLYCERINE??? I don't think so... How many fuel manufacturers would want to risk law suits for producing a fuel that causes the modeller's workshop or models to BLOW UP???

According to the article, SOMEBODY either with the Government, OR the Clanton Advertiser DIFINATELY got some INACCURATE information on what model fuel is manufactured with!!!

This discussion belongs in the Clubhouse, not here in the AMA forum.
