Default YS160DZ with Powermaster 30/23LV heli


Anybody with experience with this fuel?, I used the 30/20% with awesome results, but tried this one and feels rich and lacks a little power, might by my settings.

Thanks

Hola Pereira,

I know that Troy (The YS guru) has been doing some research using the fuel. I think he needs more time but probably he is going to respond to your question. I know that there were some discussions in the NSRCA opinion group.

My guess that if the fuel is Low Viscocity, it is natural to get richer and probably you need to lean the engine some.

Saludos,

Vicente Bortone

Power Master makes a DZ blend that works great

Hello Vicente,

Yes, I posted on the YS forum an Troy answered quickly today, but he said he has no experience with Powermaster, and that is the thing, I adjusted my 160 yesterday and because I was not satisfied I tried a method I was recomended by the YS guru in Australia who I met, and that is the reason why I'm wondering about this fuel, I was not convinced about the power at the end.

I used Cool Power with excellents results, is one of my favorite fuels, as is Wildcat which I use for years, but the thing is, I switched to Powermaster for several reasons and the 30/20% worked very very well, I just went to 23%LV because the 160 can handle up to 24% oil, and with more oil I thought it might be better for the engine, I bougt a case of the fuel, and if some one else felt it laked power, then I will sell it and get the 20%, but it can easily be me, maybe I need to tweak the engine a little more, will see.

The Japanese Team used 18% oil form Cosmo, I think it was Black Power, but anyway, they can afford to throw an engine on every round, so I don't know if it runs better or has way more power because there is, of course, 2% more alcohol.


Best regards and thanks
