My local hobby shop says they can't get Cool Power 30% Heli Mix anymore but Powermaster YS20/20 is still available. PMYS20-20 used to be THE fuel in the pattern world, is it still good? Will it run my YS110 OK? I just bought the last four gallons of CP 30% today so I need to find an alternative.

I've run PM YS20/20 in my 110 and never had a problem with it. 30% fuel may disappear for a while. It seems that the Chinese are shutting down nitro production for several months during the Olympics b/c the factories aren't environmentally friendly, and the Chinese govt wants to portray a favorable image while the press is visiting. Accordingly, the supplies of nitro are getting VERY short. The NHRA doesn't even know if they're going to be able to finish their season.

There's a discussion of the problem on the NMPRA website (http://www.nmpra.org/). Look under the discussion forums in the Q500/Q40 section.

It's seems that PM is going to be available and that CP has stopped making 30% HM. When they go back into production there's going to be a huge price increase. My LHS' cost is going to be $23.96 a gallon which will push my cost to over $30! Guess I'll have to stock up on PM.

I use to run Power Master DZ30 before switching to cool power (price). At that time it was approx. $30 per gallon shipped to my door. I called PM today and the DZ30 is still available. Unfortunatly they don't UPS to individuals any longer due to shipping cost. Your LHS can get it through Great Plains or Horizon, however I have no idea of the cost.


Other than price, one other reason I quit using was it carboned up my motor. Has anyone been using the 30%DZ blend lately, and if so, have you had any carbon problems? If it's doing good I would be willing to give it another try.
