  • How much fuel do you get through?

    Im currently spending £100-150 a month on nitro.Its crept up on me to be honest and i tried to ignore it,but i feel better getting it out in the open now

    Not sure if i can carry on whacking that much on fuel,but i just love nitro a little too much!.

    so make me feel better,how much are YOU spending on fuel???

                  Yeah, like Bladestriker says, there ain't no pockets on a shroud ! As long as you aren't drinking the stuff, it's bangs for bucks innit ?
                  Trex 450 SEV2.
                  Trex 450 SEV2, hack, freeby, but getting expensive. Binned the bu**er !

                    A gallon in an afternoon easily if I'm mainly flying a .90 and I am spoiled to the way the bigger helis
                    fly. So I started to split my flying between the Trex500 and a nitro heli and then I can fly all afternoon
                    and still have fuel leftover. I usually spend between £6.20 and £10.00 just on the train to get
                    to the field so I wasn't as bothered about the fuel costs when I was mainly flying .50s.

                    But yeah, ya gotta live while you're alive ! So a while back I decided I'd rather pay for
                    the fuel and have the buzz factor.

                          +1 there are lots of ways to spend money and at 20-25 a gallon of fuel gives a lot more fun and accomplishment than some.

                            Generally I normally use about 30-40 bottles a year, but this year not so much as been flying a lot of electric, and last weekend I went all electric, so none now I may be back on the smelly oily nitro side at some point tho, never say never!
