I was asked how we mix our own fuel. I have seen a handful of videos on the process but I was asked what we do so here it is. We run both 30% and 23.5% nitro. Both run a 23% oil mix.
@Greg Ringle 👍I remember some of the simple things in life that are enjoyable. Like when I used to use hoppes number 9 or my 1st and last flight of a u control model airplane. My flight lasted about 1 second.
That all depends...... recently we bought 5 gallons of Nitro, 5 gallons of oil, and 17 gallons of methanol... we will be around 27 gallons of fuel when all mixed up
So currently 30% cool power is going for $180/case before taxes. So individual price per gallon is at $45 per gallon, how much does cost per gallon to make your own? Thanks
hello @Greg Ringle, I mixed the fuel in the proportions you said for my helicopter, but the engine heat was too much. What could be the reason for this situation? do you have any idea
We run this on OS 55HZR, OS 105HZR, YS91SR, YS96SRX, and the OS120SRX and the motors run cool and strong. I have had people buy a nitro blend which is nitro and methanol. What were the products you used in your mix?
@Greg Ringle, methanol (%54), nitromethane(%23), oil (%23), oil(motul 2t micro). a few more attempts today, I still have a temperature of 120-130 degrees.
