Fuel selection
 
I need to select my glow fuel for the coming season. I have two choice and I want to know if both are equivalent.

Power Master
Magnum

I usually buy the Power Master Mean & Green full Synthetic but the Magnum is cheaper. I use only OS motor, 46 AX and 55 AX. I fly both during the summer and winter ( around minus 5-10 C ). Normally I use 10% during summer and 15% during winter. Any suggestion between theses two brand ?

I have been a Power Master user for many years. I use only 10 percent nitro with a synthetic and castor oil blend. Just kinda stuck on what works for me I suppose. Good Luck, Dave

Power Master has a little better reputation than Magnum

I doubt if it'll make much difference

If the cost is the same why not stick with Power Master

I burn what ever 15% fuel I can find on sale. That's mostly Power Master. I have never seen my engines run any different between name brands.

Where in OKC do you buy your fuel?
$13.99/gal sounds like I might need a trip.

Oklahoma Hobbies & RC, SW corner of I-240 and Pennsylvania Ave. It's more cars and trucks than planes, but he does have the basics when I need them. Makes it nice being only 7 blocks away too!:D
