| ...HOLY WILD-CRACK BATMAN!!! This stuff rocks!! I have been running Sig 30% heli w/24% Klotz in my OS50, and it's like night and day! First of all, the heli smoked a whole lot less, even after I opened the needle valve 3 clicks because of the whole re-breakin thing. Secondly, the increase in power was unreal. Normally, when I go from a hover into a full power climbout, the motor would always bog down a little until the disk unloaded then the power would come back. I tried to needle-out this tendency, but I never seemed to be able too. With the Wild-crack the heli just took off like a rocket (pulling 11 degrees of pitch). No hesitation, no bog down. I also noticed that the headspeed was a couple hundred RPM's higher and any given throttle setting, telling me that the extra 6% methanol is doing its job. The idle was also a lot smoother and the heli started easier, I didn't know it was supposed to run this good. It smells good and doesn't burn my eyes just like like the Sig, because of the Klotz oil (unlike the OTHER brands fuel   ).
Hey Jerry Conley, if you're reading this, I want to commend you on your fuel. I've been itching to try it for a while, but no one around here sell it (that I know of). I bought this gallon off a buddy of mine. Everybody sells CoolPower and Sig (because it is made locally). My local Hobbytown doesn't even stock the "Hobbytown" labeled Wildcat. I asked them about it in April and they just said they'd try to carry it "maybe by summer." Plus they already charge WAY too much for fuel as it is (they recently lowered their price on CP30 to $29.99 from $32.99 and the Sig 30, without shipping because they can drive down to Montezuma and pick it up, is around $27 or so).
Anyway, I say bravo Mr. Conley and the crew at Wildcat. You've won another customer.

). I am willing to try WC, but I can stick w/ CP if there is alot of hurdles to go through.
