Default Fuel question

I run only rossi engines and after using 5% nitro fuel i decided to make my own fuel with 20%castor(no sinthetic) and 80% methanol ...

will that affect my engines?[&:]

rossi manual says that their engines run no nitro fuel with no problems.

Regards

I use home brew fuel a lot in my larger glow engines. No Nitro. It certainly will not hurt your engine. I use a 50 -50 mix of klotz synthetic and castor oil. And I use only 16 percent total oil content. This is for a Moki 2.10. For smaller displacement engines, 20% oil is probably better

Marcelo, This fuel is ok for your rossi!!!
Fala Marcelão, cara os motores Rossi foram desenvolvidos para serem usados sem nitro, eles realmente são um canhão assim como são. Os 5 % de nitro são o máximo tolerável pra essas máquinas maravilhosas, se eu fosse vc usaria só 4X1 sem nitro,
Tanto os Rossi quanto os Super Tigres dispensam nitro totalmente
