Re: 90 size nitro From what I've been told by the experts, this depends on the blend and any additives ... Morgan Fuels Cool Power 15% only has a 17% synthetic oil added. Morgan Fuels Cool Power 30% has a mixture of 23% synthetic oil added. Some of Morgan Fuels products use a blend of castor and synthetic as well, and at only a 17% blend. I can't find anywhere on the Morgan site where it details that you don't need after-run ... are you able to point me to it so I can read up on it? All of VP/Powermaster fuels (15-30%) have a 23% content of synthetic oil. Now that said, I'll have to defer to your knowledge as my nitro knowledge is currently limitd and I'm still learning. That said, I fully intend on putting Powermaster fuels to the test on my NX4 and not using after-run. I'll let you know my findings.

If you read the comments about Morgan fuels Cool power and suchforth, they also claim that you do not need after run oil. Now if you belive both companies claims and don't store your engines properly* oil for any time longer then a few weeks*... then the bearing companies are going to LOVE you and your bank accounts. Why take the risk, having an engine blow while 100+ feet in the air isn't a fun thing to experience. ATF/Air tool oil mixed at 50/50. |

Re: 90 size nitro I've seen Nick Maxwell's TTs up close in person. Heck, we (being he, myself, Matt Botos, Rob Cherry, and Eric Lewis) even destroyed one of his canopies for fun. Don't ask. LOL! They are nice models and well constructed. The parts are reasonably priced as well. I'm on the tail end of building myself a Synergy N7. I'm just waiting for the motor to come back in stock with the distributor. After chatting on the phone, I think I have Dennis second guessing what he's going to build this year. LOL! This will be one of my primary models for the year. I took my NX4 to Florida with me on vacation (carry-on!!!) and got in a full afternoon of flying. That thing is AWESOME!!!! I barely used 1/2 a jug of fuel. Before I left, I maidened it in the yard, boy does that dense cold air ever make some huge power. LOL!! I totally see / understand what you mean about nitro now. I'm glad I gave it a second chance. I just ordered some fuel as well, VP / PowerMaster ... no after run oil required.

Re: 90 size nitro Oh I hear you forsure. Yeah I gotta run to the city and grab 10 cases myself for the season. That is heli and aircraft fuel not just heli, hah ...., 9 cases heli and one case airplane. Most my planes are electric now for ease of cleanup. Cold!!! Like no other it's been since I was a small kid , we haven't had 10 ft high snowbanks in 30+ years and the cold , it's March and -32C this morning. You see why they call it the great white north lol..., On a different note I am leaning towards the new Thundertiger .90 heli for myself. What's your thoughts on that one, ever seen one in action?Cheers Jimmy. |

Re: 90 size nitro Mike you get any weather your way to spool up your new .90 with the 105 in it? Heli insane is bugging me to hurry you along , he wants a turn. "Chuckle". The Rush is well under way,were putting the electronics in now. I'd like to know what you think of your setup with that 105 in there. |
