I live 25 miles from the nearest LHS, which sells only Morgan Cool Power
and/or and Omega (very limited -if any- choice of nitro content) glow fuels
at high prices.
I recently saw an advertisement for an imported product available via mail order at a decent price (15% Nitro at <$20/gal. to your door). It is packaged in quart bottles to avoid HAZMAT fees.
I took delivery today of a case (the minimum order). You're allowed to mix-'n'-match gallons in case-quantities of three gallons (twelve quarts). I got two gallons of 15% nitro/18% synthetic/castor blend oil and a gallon of 23% nitro/20% synthetic/castor blend to my door for $60. That's a good or better than I can do at my LHS. It will probably be a while before I get to burn any... it's the middle of the "building season" here in upstate NY, although I usually get out a time or two in the winter.
I was wondering if anyone had any experience or had heard anything about this fuel.
Good flying, desmobob
