Default RE: WHICH FUEL

Since you do not say which engine is installed in your helicopter, this a very general suggestion...

Most helicopter engines behave better with a nitro content of 15 to 30%, and an oil content of 18 to 22%.

Not all nitro fuels are made the same, so make sure you read the label before purchasing.
