Guys, do a search. It is REAL easy and it works great.
This topic has been KILLED every week for YEARS.
USE the SEARCH OPTION!
It's called search for a reason.
Search is really good for you try it.
Search, it's the new search.
One search a day keeps the oil monsters away.
When contemplating the universe, Newton didn't ask, he searched.

error404.

If you dont like dont read, it's so easy..
if you are not agree go away and create you own forum, nothing else!!

So I was wondering...

I have a DA 50 that is brand new. What oil ratio should I use for break in? Then, what should I use after break in. Then, what should I use when it has about 1000 hours on it?

Sure, the same threads get old but let's face it, RCU's search bar sucks. So if you don't want to read yet another thread about oil ratios, do what I do: go to the next thread. Works every time.

Sounds like you have the same issue I have with chocolate. I see it in the fridge, I know I shouldnt eat it, but I cant help myself, so I eat it.

Dam I hate chocolate

So what! Who cares if people want to start new topic on oil ratio, let them. Like Andika said if don't like it don't read it.

i'm still wondering why there isn't a thread on mixing oil/gas by weight.........that one doesn't come up.

i thought this was a free forum though. should we post a topic about what's OK to post a topic about?....

1:32 break-in
1:40 bad oil
1:50 good synth.

what's a good breakin oil, and what's a good synth?

Who makes the best oil and what ratio do ya'll run it at maaannn? Couldn't resist!

There is NO BEST OIL !!
these small engines are sold everywhere so they will work perfect with <span lang="en" class="short_text" id="result_box"><span title="" style="">the most popular and reputable oil of your city, country.
It would be stupid if everybody should import american oils as the AMSOIL...expensive and unnecessary</span></span>
Do not be worried, use synthetic oil and fly or die 4ever..

I tried to find a thread that actually answers the question definitively. Couldn't find one though
Does anyone have the answer - the definitive answer on which oil and how much to use?

Hey Whistlingdeath and Eagleburger - I have the same issues as you guys - I see new threads asking the questions and thingk "Oh no - not another one" - but i look anyway. Luckily I can't eat chocolate

Can we have a thread on how to make the search work well please? I would love to see it. I can't find that "fuzzy" option on it anywhere I look.

Oh well - having said that - I am going out to fly my planes now with good synthetic oil mixed at bad oil ratios - it works for me.

Can't tellyou which gas I use - it might start an argument

You must be an engineer.

They are the only ones that can't read the label on a bottle or look at the graduation lines on a mixing cup. I work with a bunch that used to mix gas and oil by weight. After a couple years pulling my hair our everytime they hauled out the scale the problem resolved itself when the battey died and nobody had a spare. They were a long ways from anywhere and all they had left was reading the lable on the oil bottle and estimating the amount of gas in the can right after putting 5 gallons in it at the gas station......

But hey, if that what fluffs your skirt, feel free. I sure as heck won't try and stop anyone from going that route.

As for RCU having a crappy search engine...I agree. However. RCU IS NOT the Universe where RC is concerned. There just happen to be a couple of other forums devoted to giant scale. Where gas engines are the norm rather than something new. In one of them there is enough experience accumulated with the modeling population where the need for an oil and ratio question isn't needed. I spend a lot of time there these days.

Instead of "RC" universe it should be "ARF" universe.

my questions were thread related.........

hmmm....you sure?

Wouldn't it be easier to found out oil ratios and breakin procedures by reading the Freakin' manaul?? If you dont have the book then do a search!!!

search sux... get over it.

I have 2 questions,
1,How long have you had your chainsaw or weedeater?
2, how concerned are you about what kind of oil you use in it

Most people don't have several thousand $ invested in their chainsaw or weed eater.

Don't rag on the search engine,you will get knock off RCU.
if you don't like oil threads don't read them,just pass over that beaten horse.

ROTFLMAO Actually I find the search engine works fairly well - use simple terms that are unique and specify subject only. I usually use the search this forum only at the bottom of the page. For oil ratios try "oil ratio" in quotes. Be prepared it really has been beaten to death.

<span style="font-size: larger">Did <span style="color: #ff0000">Newton</span> contemplate "RC" universe?
Did <span style="color: #ff0000">Newton</span> have a wife with a rather LARGE set of honkers when he came up the the "gravity theory"?
Is <span style="color: #ff0000">Newton</span> responsible for me crashing all the time?
I think Iwill name my next plane "Newton's Nuggets" because like that Apple Tree, it's sure as heck going to "go up and come down (a lot of times, not exactly like I'd prefer)"</span>

Thanks, I just spit coffee all over the monitor...

This is creditied to AUSSIESTEVE from yet another oil ratio thread here on RCU:
