Alex Hasell Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I remember years agothere were loads of model shops in my area 3 alone in my town not so anymore There are no shops that i can find in my area that sell fuel i needsome 5 or 10% mix does any one know where i can get fuel from i live in Telford Shropshire have no car at present so it needs to be closei I will have my trainer built by weekend and i dont want to be grounded due to no fuel!!! The one shop sells it but its got 16% nitro content i suspect that this is way to much i run a SC46 can some one tell me if im right not to use it or if i would get away with it?

Andy Green Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Hi AlexIt's economics I'm afraid, the more peole that buy only from shows and the internet, the more pressure is put on local model shops. We are all to blame in their demise.Weston UK sell fuel mail order, but you have to buy a minimum amount.Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdy Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Would have liked to go ic, but that would have been one of the problems... I'm not even old enough to order fuel on line so I have to perswade my dad. I semi-empithise with you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Channon Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Hi Alex, yep you can use 16%, a bit overkill but it will run ok on it.Just tune a tad , and i mean a click or so richer.RegardsChris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Hasell Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 Birdy i think that your missing the point here it is not common place to be able to order fuel on line anyway only a few places will sell it to you that way and you have to buy a large quantity at once.

David Ashby - Moderator Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I usually buy loads when I do and sufficient to keep me going for a long time - I have to make a special trip too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Sharp Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Seems I must thank my lucky stars. There are four model shops selling fuel within fifteen minutes drive of my residence. Trouble is I fly mostly electric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
