Fuels?

[Robert13]

I am going to fly a TT 30v2. I am up to breaking in the engine. I was told to use Coolpower Standard Heli 15%. Others at the flying field have told me to use a 30%. Now I am not sure what to use? Any advise?

What kind of engine?

I've been informed that the Thunder Tiger engines don't like having nitro percentage switched up on them.

my 30v2s with tt39 and os37 use cool power 30...i've ordered a case of 12.5% heli because of this tip from scott gray in his faqs...ken

"What fuel do you run for 3D? I noticed you have less smoke than some other guys."

"I use Cool Power 30% High-performance heli (pink color) mixed in equal parts (1:1) with Cool Power 12.5% heli (purple color). The result is about 21% nitro and multi viscosity blend of oil. The CP30 contains thin oil in high percentages, while the 12.5% heli has less quantity of oil, but it is thicker viscosity. This blend produces the SAME power as CP30%, but has less smoke and is easier to tune! Not to mention the cost is down because you can buy the less expensive 12.5% and mix with the CP30. I do not recommend the low oil blends that some manufacturers offer in order to have less smoke. The price you will pay is often rear bearings and piston rings in your engine as it is not protected enough. As a note, I use this 50/50 blend of fuel in all my helis 30 size, 50, and 90."

I use Coolpower 30 with my OS 32 (Raptor 30V2) and OS 50 hyper (Raptor Titan). I bought my OS 32 used and the guy that was flying it was using Coolpower 30 so I stuck with it.
