Anwar have you tried rapicon ?

Post by: anwar on March 11, 2012, 10:41:05 PM
Nope, but that is being used by others at the main field now.  They had good things to say about it.

 :hatsoff:...we are getting trex700 tomorrow in Mangalore, we are blessed to get 99% methanol from local supplier,  :help:help us...what exactly should me the lubrication mix(caster oil), 15%, 20%, 25%...?
 :thumbsup:Meanwhile, we do a 18% lubrication mix for all our airplanes (mostly OS & ASP engines from .46 to 26ccOS-FX200)

20% castor oil will remain constant.

Will you be using nitro methane as well ? Basically when I am making fuel for heli this is the proportion I use in 1 liter ( 1000ml)...
10% - klotz Synthetic oil
10% - castor oil
20% - nitromethane and the remaing
60% - methanol.

Try this out

nope we do not use Nitro at all, yes u said we also use 2T 5% & 15% castor Oil


Title: Re: Heli fuel
Post by: Ahmad on April 10, 2012, 08:37:47 PM
Why 2T ?


Title: Re: Heli fuel
Post by: second_chance on April 10, 2012, 09:16:45 PM

What more could we add (no nitro) to get a stable burn!
10% castor Oil
10% Synthetic
80% Methanol

 ??? anything thing else that could increase the IDLE at least... :hatsoff:

Are you trying to run a heli engine with no nitro?

Post by: traxxrc1 on April 15, 2012, 05:21:25 PM
Anyone tried using tornado heli/plane fuel for cars..?


Title: Re: Heli fuel
Post by: flying truck on April 15, 2012, 05:28:59 PM
I used tornado flight 1. oh wait you wanna know if i've used it in a car? no i havent.

Post by: traxxrc1 on April 15, 2012, 05:53:40 PM
Actually i am on a project of a twin 8.2cc engine truck, totaling to 16.4cc. That will drink fuel very very fast so was seeking for a cheaping alternative to the 550 rupee/L car fuel.

Your making your own engine using two stock engines and a custom crankcase? I don't see any reason why a tornado plane fuels wont work. The higher lube is needed when running lower nitro anyway.


Title: Re: Heli fuel
Post by: traxxrc1 on April 15, 2012, 06:09:42 PM
I am two separate engines on two separate mounts,connected to a common gear.
I have heard some people saying that car engines don't start on self blend or plane fuel so kinda worried .

They'll start but they wont perform at the way they should. Very curious about how your design works though, how do you plan to match speeds of the engines? What happens when the car goes into a turn?


Title: Re: Heli fuel
Post by: second_chance on April 15, 2012, 08:55:03 PM
guys we were discussing about heli fuel !!!!!!


Title: Re: Heli fuel
Post by: flying truck on April 15, 2012, 08:58:35 PM
Ah yes true. I don't understand heli fuel. Why do manufacturers and pilots prefer all synth lube? I've never dissected a heli engine probably will soon.
