Need Help with Fuel Composition
Posted: Wed Jan 02, 2013 11:49 am
Hello everyone!
I am about to order an ASP S21A engine for an aircraft that I am about to build. I would like some help regarding fuel composition because I heard that I could run this glow engine WITHOUT nitro. Is this
a) good for the engine? Running without nitro lowers the cost of the fuel significantly and nitro is not always available. Does it make a mess?
b) If I can run it without nitro, what should the ratio of methanol to oil be?
c) If I should run with nitro what should the ratio of methanol, oil and nitro be?
d) What brand of oil can I use?
e) Any specific type of methanol?
Thanks would love to hear all views!
