| Round 3Hi Mr Conley!,
gee where shall I start?
I never called John Steele a liar,you stated that .What's really false is the idea that you try to give to everyone on here, that John can run 140 gals of fuel thru an engine w no wear.In my book, anyone who can burn 140 gals thru a heli engine flawlessly and have no wear like you say gets all my respect
I dont know John personally,but maybe he is a good pilot,and he may know his stuff,but,140 gals thru an engine is a lot,you say theres no wear in it.Tell us more about this "Immaculate conception" ,was it in a test stand?heli?running continuous?in a heli being sport flown?scale ship?Ok maybe he got 140 gals thru it,but what kind of shape is it in?I think I have an idea of what Don Chapman would have said.If youre saying that by running WC fuel in a 16000 rpm engine theres no wear,why are you selling it to rc'ers for?NASA and NASCAR Teams will buy all you have.
Point: Dont snowball us on here by saying the engine" has no wear".If you said "It lasted for over 140 gals and was still running I could accept that,along w everybody else thats been laughing at this claim. BY THE WAY YOU STATE IT.
Telling us CY wont fly your fuel because you wont"give it to him"or "I dont sponsor pilots" is horse puckey.
Someone presented realistic numbers on what it may cost in fuel to keep CY in the air for a normal year.You quickly multiplied that by 24 times plus.For someone who doesnt care about money,and only cares about quality those numbers popped up out of thin air real quick.If WC is the super hi quality fuel you say it is,then the volume of sales should support 25 guys representing your fuel,or at least CY for example,in the least.
As far as "hiding on the computer"goes, I dont. I make events just like you do.
I dont go on here telling everyone that if they ie buy or use my "Basura"91XXL that it will never need maintenance,and lt'll out fly all the top heli pilots in 3 easy sessions on low monthly payments.
seems thats how WC always gets pushed.
Another question,If you dont give anything away period,how do you contribute to the r/c helicopter hobby besides taking money?I'm asking w out trying to be "smart."
Some guys like WC,more like CoolPower.We had polls on here before where Cool power won by individual voting that couldnt be rigged or scammed and was open to registered users of this forum only.Sorry, the numbers dont lie.If a pilot likes WC well thats fine,to each his own.
And I do say this w all respect to the guys who use WC, and like it.
If a guy had his mind set on it I wouldnt try to change it,cause its what he likes.Most guys that use CP usually never go to a different brand unless a dollar or two is the contributing factor to the change.This isnt speculation,This is something I've seen over and over again.
If you could tell the guys about your fuel without "slamming" Morgan Fuels ,and coming up with "As seen on TV" claims, without any proof,I'd would think thats great,and I'd shut up.Usually I stay out of old debates,but "the emperors clothes type fable" just lured me right in.
Looking forward to your favorable reply! |
I run morgan fuel, have since '89 and don't plan on changing. I have tried other stuff over the years and still stick with CP 30. I'm happy with it,.. and I paid for it for many years before any sponsorship, and the times I run out of fuel and can't wait a few days to get it, I buy morgan at the hobby shop at retail pricing. I've tried wildcat, byron, sig, powermaster, and just about everything else available. I like morgan, it runs consistently, and delivers good power. I know many people have success with wildcat. I know John Steele personally and he does burn more fuel than anyone I know. He flies extremely well, hard 3D, and his integrity is beyond question. Wildcat works well for him. Morgan works well for me. To each his own. I continue to use coolpower because it has served me very well over the years. I haven't seen any benefit from other fuels I've tried, and i've solved more engine problems than I can count when helping people by simply pumping in a tank from my jug. If vanilla was the only flavor in life it would be a very boring world. We have choices, and I choose to use a proven product that I know and trust. others choose to use another product. As to the claims of temperatures,.. are we really sure that lower temps are better?,.. there is a range where every engine is happy. I know that CP works well, bearings last, and the temp is not out of the range it should be or I would have problems, expecially considering I'm in a rather hot climate (central florida). I don't know for myself if WC runs cooler or hotter. Unless I saw empirical data stating something else is better, or experienced it for myself,.. I wouldn't change. This is a hobby, not a career, and I'd gladly pay more for fuel if I saw a positive difference, which I haven't with anything i've tried. I've seen some negative's, but never any positives, and CP has always been the most consistent running fuel FOR ME so I'll continue to use it.
