Select, by practical tests, the most suitable fuel from among
the best quality fuels available in your country for helicopter
use. For the best throttle response, a fuel containing 10% to
30% 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 deterriorate and may
adversely affect running qualities. If in
doubt compare to a fuel known to be good.
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.
Reminder!
Fuel
Model engine fuel is also highly flammable.
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.
Alternatively, one of the purpose-made
manual or electric fuel pumps may be
used to transfer fuel directly from your
fuel container to the fuel tank.
