    yep the slv has more power and is more like flying 30 than 20 % and you may need to adjust your needle settings slightly
    deffo 20% slv is a fantastic fuel

            I'm not 100% sure on the oil content, I think it's 20%, but I do know it has the exact same film strength as the old opti klotz oil, so will be no different in terms of protection, i.e. It will be just as good, but with a little more power and better throttle recovery The general consensus is adjust you top end needle 2-3 clicks leaner, but start on current settings and tweak from there

                    I Think it is around 22%...

                    No expert but I am presuming SLV stands for Super Low Viscosity?.. so of course the engine will have less resistance with this oil thus giving more power and better recovery...

                      Just wait until you try the Ultra Low Viscosity..

                        18% actually just like std 20% was. SLV is super lite viscosity, throttle response is much better, operational temps are lower and film strenght identical. Lots of work gone ito this with KLOTZ and it's the market leading 20% premeium fuel without a doubt. Users of std 30% mixes would be hard pushed to feel the difference unless they are using 30% SLV.

                        Busterboy allouds to our development ULV, this is truly ballistic but will not be commercially availble for sometime (nearly as good as electric even our German pilots are moving back to nitro with this development), busy on other projects currently like OPTIPOWER, coming your way soon!!

                            Same brand but different blends mate... Just like if you brought "Castrol" oil for you car engine.. so many different blends (W) for different protection at different temps.. then theres different types.. I.e Edge.. for high performance or magnatec for high milleage engines.. what Opti are doing now is the same as what the car oil sector has been doing for ages.. different blends for higher performance/protection.. states of engines
