Default Fuel?

Check with a local club and/or hobby shop.
Get help before running this as one bad run on an ABC engine can destroy the engine.

In your profile the location says "Paris". Is this France or Texas or ?? If you give a better description locals will normally let you know where they fly.

Welcome to the hobby and RC Universe.

Caster will allow engine to run at higher temperatures before the lubricant burns. Synthetic leaves less of a residue. A combination is good. I have always run full synthetic in my glow engines. I only flew glow for 3 years before going to gas so I cannot speak on the long term effects. I prefer synthetic!

I use Sig Fuels I think they are a best. They Use 20% Oil (1/2 AA Baker Oil & 1/2 Klotz Synthetic).

The originator of the post is in France. I think he is interested in the information and not specific USA manufacturers.

Maybe the moderator can look at his IP and tell if it is domestic or not. I will say that I jumped to a conclusion and I was wrong to do so.
