fuel percentage poll

[Planehazza]

20% for me, don't need 30% but anything lower and the power loss isn't worth the small savings IMO

you have Richen it up for the cold?
you use more fuel because there is oxygen in cold air so more fuel
also have you checked the mid needle
richen the mid first

you using a Dx8 what temperature you seeing?

Running 20% in all my helis plenty enough power for a mortal like me

i did think about richening it up a few clicks to be honest,,
and it was cold!
i dont use the telemetry on the dx8 just the trusty old finger on backplate!!
i will try it when out next

Running 20% optifuel here on all nitro models and never had a problem,but (DRM black 7) went from 30% down to 20% and had lots of running issuse with his YS56. I cant see the difference myself...
Stick with 20% Optifuel....

It was strange I spent a day and half a bottle of 20% trying to tune it, was shit so went back to 30% needles back to where they were, and it run like a champ again.
Very weird.
