      do you mean a USA, UK, rapicon or optifuel "gallon"?

      magnum 30% which is a USA gallon you will get 6 and a bit flights from it on a trex 700.

      cheers

                Noooo!

                Makes me realise that time spent flying needs to be time spent wisely - i.e. actually trying to progress and not just go over stuff you're already happy with.

                Of course the price goes up further when you then take repairs into account....

                    Was just thinking, if you need to ask, you can't afford it

                    I solve that problem for myself by simply ignoring it; all you would hear in my head is la la la la la la la la la la.

                    I'd guess between 5 and 6 flights per bottle of Coolpower (US gallon).

                          Cost me around £3.50 per flight on Magnum 20 in my 700.

                          Never had a 90 before though.
