Hi guys, i've recently have this urge to build a 1/2A racer with a built-up fuselage, kinda like f2c ones. so im wondering if there is any websites out there still selling diesel conversion heads for it. i've looked around the forums and saw some RJL and Davis Diesel Developments head but i couldnt seem to find their catalog on their webpage, can anyone help me please?

Thanks in advance

thanks guys, found it!

just to confirm, part no, C5/S right?

For a diesel??????

Perhaps they ment the nitrate/nitrite content as opposed to a straight ether/parafin/castor mix.

for a diesel?

castor/nitro and synthetic oils?

Fytch,

A mixture of castor, nitromethane, and alcohol is used for glow fuel. A mixture of castor, ether, and kerosene is usually used for diesel fuel.

There are other aditives such as amyl nitrate, amyl nitrite and a few other things are used to make diesel fuel burn better.

When most refer to synthetic oils, they are usually referring to using synthetic in place of castor, or mixed with castor as the lubricant.

Oh! Thanks George. I'm still new to this stuff, sorry if what im saying in the previous post don't make any sense.

So.. Castor, ether and kerosene is used for diesel.

May i know what does each of them do? like.. Castor is the lubricant?

Thanks alot, really appreciate your help!
