I used to use it. I`ve gone away from the castor based fuel, as IMHO it`s crap ! It gums the motor up, burns onto the pipe and goes brown and also makes cleaning the heli a chore. Since going on to CoolPower 10% none of the above happens, and my heli`s run great.

model technics

I use Model Technics GN5 fuel. This is 20%castor and 5% nitro. Yes is does make the heli messy, and it is not coloured. BUT, it is only 11pounds per (UK) gallon.

I have used about 10 gallons of 5% during the last year, and have just started fast and aerobatic flying, and am running out of power.

Also castor oil is very good to your engine, it will tolerate a lean run.

Yes it is messy. I nearly failed my BMFA 'A' test because the heli was too mucky. When you take the test, don't just concentrate on the flying, you have to think about all the other aspects of our hobby too.

Model technics

Ditto to the above I that yes it does burn up on the exhaust, covers the heli in al sorts of crappy sludge like oil that really smells. The plus side is it is a very good lubricant and keeps everything cool, there is also no need to lubricate anything else on the heli as their is enough oil to go round.

I went over to cool power myself a while back , the difference is amazing everyhting is so much cleaner and an engine strip down isn't met with all the castor burn off, sssssssssssoooooooooooooooooooo clean.

There is a new model technics fuel available now that uses synthetic fuel, I think they got the message, sorry, I dont know the formula and it is a little dearer, what you pay for in fuel savings using MT you pay out in cleaning rags and cleaner to shine it all up again. ha ha

Give CP a try, if you do I dont think you'll go back. I have previously used 10% and with the right headspeed found it has plenty of power, I am now trying out 15% (LHS ran out of 10). If you want a real power increase and the engine is sound to handle it try 30% he he, You will notice the difference and the engine will run cooler.

To sum it all up..............GO COOLPOWER

I use Model Technics Bekra 10 heli fuel. I'm new to the hobby so it's the only fuel I've ever used as we have trouble getting coolpower in the IOM. It was recommended to me by local flyers and LHS. It keep my sceadu's engine cool and lubricated. £16.80 a gallon 4.55 lts.

MT

I use Modeltechnics. (30% Nitro and 18 % all sintetic oil). I can´t use Coolpower because I can´t find it in my country (Spain).
For me MT is a great fuel, I have avoided lots of problems with my engines, with lots of power and good idle.

The MT formula Bekra is fully synthetic. I tested a gallon of the 16% nitro earlier this year and had no problems at all, in fact when switching from 15% CP and back again I could not notice the difference - I didn't even adjust the needles !!
