FUEL

PROPELLERS

Suggested propeller sizes are listed on page 15. The 
suitability of the prop depends on the size and weight 
of the model and type of flying. Determine the best 
size and type after the engine has been run in. Check 
the balance of the propeller before fitting it to the 
engine. Unbalanced propellers cause vibration and 
loss of power. Wooden propellers are to be preferred. 
Some nylon propellers are not strong enough to 
withstand the high power  output of these engines 
and a thrown blade can be very dangerous. 

Model engine fuel is poisonous. Do 
not allow it to come into contact with 
the eyes or mouth. Always store it in a 
clearly marked container and out of 
the reach of children.

Model engine fuel is also highly flam-
mable. Keep it away from open flame, 
excessive heat, sources of sparks, or 
anything else which might ignite it. 
Do not smoke, or allow anyone else to 
smoke, near to it.

Select, by practical tests, the most suitable fuel from 
among the best quality fuels available in your country 
for model use. For the best performance, a fuel 
containing 5% to 20% nitromethane is preferable. 
Lubricants may be either castor-oil or a suitable 
synthetic oil ( or a blend of both ) provided that they 
are always of top quality.
For consistent performance and long engine life, it is 
essential to use fuel containing AT LEAST 18% 
lubricant by volume. Some fuels containing coloring 
additives tend to deteriorate and may adversely affect 
running qualities.
Once a satisfactory fuel has been selected and used 
for a while, it may be unwise to needlessly change 
the brand or type. In any engine, a change of fuel 
may cause carbon deposits in the combustion 
chamber or on the piston head to become detached 
and lodged elsewhere, with the risk of this causing 
unreliable operation for a while. If, however, the 
adoption of a different fuel is unavoidable, check the 
engine for the first few flights on the new fuel, by 
temporarily reverting to the running-in procedure.
