"my tutor has just worked out that his recently acquired Yamada costs c. £5 per flight in fuel alone"

Hmm.

160 fl oz in a gallon.

Average glow gallon, £20?

That's either using up 40 fl oz per flight, or some maths has gone wrong!

Most 40 size use about £1 a flight (8 fl oz... or less).

Could be right...

YS engines can be very thirsty - and 30% nitro, which many users prefer is around £50 per gallon so at 16 oz per flight, that's only 10 flights per gallon...plus the cost of an explosives precursor licence!

Hopefully, someone will be selling 29%...

Looking around, it seems that even 20% is selling at around £40 - makes me glad I am still getting 10% at £13 a gallon from club stocks!

I know my wife often claims I'm dence, or as she puts it ' you've just come up on the down train' , but do we have a parallel conversation here about the cost of fuel in a thread about glue? 😋

Dai, we've definitely dived off on a tangent there!

Martin H,

techpower straight, £18, 5% £21.35, 10% £24.75, 25%, £34.80

crikey - nitro is expensive!

your club deal sounds brilliant

I use the Poundland own brand cyano. 7 x 10g tubes for a £1.

Great stuff.

On another tack their oven cleaner is just as good if not better than the supermarket version which is over 5 times the cost.
