fuel

what type of fuel do i need to use to runan engine that is virtually brand new..........15 minutes running time so far.

I use the same fuel that I am going to run the engine on for normal running only a lot richer.
Hope this is of some help.

I used Model Technics Contest 10. 10% nitro, 16% oil and the rest synthetic. Run the motor slightly richer and you should have no problems

What engine type do you have ?

Some engines run better on dfferent fuels.

It might be a case of speaking to your LHS / other flyers in your area with similar setups to see what they have found works best for them.

its an irvine,and as for other people to help i dont know anyone who is into radio control helis,except bibs, and he is a beginner like me.

Hi

I have used nothing but Contest 10 in my Irvine engines before with an Enya 3 plug.

This combination has never let me down but do run the engine rich (2 - 2.5 turns) for the first few tank fulls before leaning it out.

I intend to purchase another Irvine 36H which will use Contest 10 and Enya 3 again.

Once you can fly you may then begin to experiment with tuned pipes and different plugs but I think this is a good start.

Just my opinion.

Your welcome :D

Just out of interest, I looked at your photo's and noticed a picture of 2 Rover's. I'm guessing they are GTi's? Are they 1.6 Twin Cams (Honda) or the 2.0 litre K series?

Only reason I ask is that I drive a white 216 GTi Twin Cam and see so few of them about. Great car!!

Cheers
