What of these fuel is a best?
Cool power 30%
Magnum fuel 30%
Wildcat fuel30%
Hi
Well, probably everybody's gonna tell you something else.
if you want know which works best for you: get a gallon of each and test it.
I've found that different fuels can make a lot of difference.
If it were me, considering it's 30%, i'd go with the cheapest :mrgreen:

They have all been around for a long enough time that if any was bad we would all know it by now.
Like wtr said get 2 gal of each and see which fits your setup best.
Rule of thumb applies here;
When changing anything to do with the engine open the main needle 1/2 turn for the first run and retune from there.
When I changed from Sig 30 to Magnum 30 there was more than 1/2 turn difference in the needle with no other changes.

I would avoid any fuel that is exclusively LV oil, especially with OS engines. This is just my opinion but I have seen MANY early bearing failures where LV oil was used exclusively. IMHO, the risk of engine damage just doesn't justify the microscopic gain in power (that most fliers won't see, anyhow) with using an inadequate oil package.

Paul,
I have been mixing my own fuel using Klotz Lubricants for quite a few years. Buying in bulk has had some advantages like experimenting with different ratios, oils, etc.. While using Klotz Original Techniplate I could get a lot longer life out of a set of bearings even in an OS engine at a lower % of oil. While using Klotz Heli-Glo, which is an LV oil I noticed less life in the bearings. I did however find that if I added 2 ounces per gallon of Uplon Fuel Lube to the LV oil I gained that bearing life back. I have went back to using the Original HV Techniplate since the minimal gain in power is just not a trade off I want to make. What I'm seeing with the Original Techniplate is that there is no need for any other additive to achieve the longer life span. I run it at 16% with 30% Nitro and it's a great mixture for both YS and OS. Plus, the HV smokes much less than an LV oil.
I run your ceramic SS bearings in all my engines and they perform great.
