    Model Technics - Contest 10 & Magnum 12. But I'll be in the minority.

    All the big boys use 20% or 30%

      Varies: Many 3D flyers are using Wildcat CY30% or Magnum 30%.

      Sport flyers are normally using Wildcat or Magnum either 15 or 20%.

      Some also use Coolpower/Model Technics , but very few at our club.

      There is someone at the DMHC that runs his heli on homebrew chipfat
      Slow Mo Blade 550x

            Magnum 20 and 30 here. Smokey stuff but much cleaner than a lot of other fuels.

              What makes Magnum clean is the oil is a low viscosity and it burns, hence the smoke.
              I have been using Model Technics Bekra 20% for a while now. It is not smokey but does leave the heli oily at the end of the day.

                    Wildcat 20, but did use magnum 12 and coolpower 10-15 before that.
                    -I don't crash, I just land with enthusiasm.

                    A couple of 600n's with stuff on them that makes them fly..
                    A 550 fbl with even more stuff on it to make it fly
                    And a Mars 470 which needs stuff putting on it to make it fly

                    And a DX8 too

                            Magnum 30 or 20 is all i will use now

                            Tried many others and none are as consistent as Magnum in my opinion
