    I had some of the Century Heli Juice and wasn't very impressed. If you're prepared to buy a case then you can buy fuel delivered, Optifuel is very good, you can also order Magnum & Wildcat.

      If it were me, I'd drive the 70 miles.

      By the way, how much do you pay for a bottle of 15% Cool Power over there?

        like everything else its a rip off! try 45 euro! i could only get omega 5% and that was 35..and with exchange rates its nearly the same in sterling! although not long ago if i orderd from uk say £100 of stuff it would cost me 140 euro! now its almost like for like and thats good when you consider minimum wage here is 380 i think..if only i could get fuel sent over!

          45 Euros a gallon!!!!!!!!!

          Oh my gawd!

          That's like £9 a flight for a 90 size heli.

          I'll never complain about the price of glow fuel again.

          We had one of those at-the-field conversations a while back which went along the lines of "How much are you prepared to pay for your favourite fuel?" One chap said he would go as far as £50 a bottle, and some said they'd start to look for cheaper alternatives when it hits £25 a bottle.

            Rapicon is also an option, 68 quid for 16 litres of 15%, you would need to have a chat with Rob about how much the delivery might be to Eire though....

              i didnt realise a 90 used that much fuel!i thought the rx7 was bad..just wait the ecomentalists will probably try to get us priced out of are hobby soon i was thinking about coming over and getting a load in the van but then i thought what if customs stop me..like they always do..they might think i have an alteria motive! van with irish plates full of nitro in the bottom of a ferry and all that..dont like the idea of being held by the police for a month while they think of something to charge me for!

                  I've done 8 litres so far this month in the UK, about 2 weekends and a bit. Supprised me how quick I have gone through it, but there again, it's been a while since I had a nitro heli that was reliable to just pick up and go fly with
