Glow Fuel Debate

Glow fuel is a generic term used to describe a fuel source used by models — generally the same or similar fuels can be used in model airplanes, helicopters, cars and boats. Glow fuel can be burned by very simple two stroke engines or by more complicated four stroke engines and these engines can provide impressive amounts of power for their very small size. Glow fuel is generally a mixture of methanol, nitromethane and oil.

John posted in his blog -SAMAA  links for two polls on the Sarfly web page : one to tests our feelings about nitro methane and one to test our feelings about synthetic and Castor oil.

The needs and perceptions as far as fuel goes seems to differ from continent to continent and is determent by availability, disposable funds, peer pressure and some times common sense.
