Phil May Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Is it ok to run my O.S 46 LA in my trainer on 15% At present i use Duraglo 10% and it runs superb. The reason i am thinking of changing is simply because my 11 year old runs his nitro car on 15% and it will save me buying two different fuels. If its ok will my O.S need any adjustment(richer or leaner) cheers- Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Perry Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 It'll be fine but it seems a very expensive way to save buying two fuels. You be better off buying some straight fuel and mixing fifty:fifty so you get roughly 7% for the aeroplane. D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy watson Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I had to buy some 15% for my OS46LA (only thing the robber barons masquerading as a LHS had instock) and it absolutely loved it- ran perfectly. But there is no reason not to buy 2 fuels really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Cooper Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 15% nitro fuel is probably wasted in an OS.46 LA . Nevertheless, it will undoubtably run on it and it will probably love it. The only "problem" will be the difficulty of reverting back to less nitro after being used to the better performance... By the way, try running the R/C car on 30% nitro.... and watch for the smile on the 11-year-old's face. B.C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
