I rented a field beside horses and cattle for years. They didn't GAF about the heli's, but they WERE interested in whate ver we took there for lunch. btw, I've not used castor oil in a glo motor for more than 20 years. All synthetic these days and the engines never varnish up. -- Beav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19
I'm actually more concerned about the owners, TBH; I'd like to keep on good terms because technically, though I have right of way, they own the access track. Pah. A bit of varnish never hurt anyone (conveniently ignoring collection of gunged-up motors). Talking of motors, what's the quietest IC motor these days? Actually, a mate did tell me he didn't use castor-based fuel any more.
Agreed. Piss those off and it's game over. It hurts heli's when the engines suddenly lose power and come to a sludgy stop. Not all the flyers can do auto's well enough to get their heli's down in one piece. The one with the biggest silencer My Rossi's are fucking loud unless I use a Rossi pipe, or better still a Burley pipe yet my YS 90 is very quite. Probably becuae the 90's don't rev so high for the same rotor revs. I don't know *anyone* who does. It as Ok when there was nothing else, but after the ML70 debacle, synthetics took a leap forward and castor all but died a death. -- Beav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19
Debacle? After all this talk of fuels, I remembered that I've still got a full bottle of Model Technics fuel that must be at least twelve years old. Must be ready to drink by now. That or use to light bonfires.
Somewhere in the shed I think I still have 10 litres of Isopropyl Alchohol[1] originally obtained under the pretext of it being a diesel additive. [1] It should be nicely mature by now, I might just pop into the pretentious drinks thread and offer my comments.
Yeah. It was touted as the best thing since sliced bread but it fell a bit short and more than a few engines siezed solid. It eventually got sorted and it's still available but I doubt it's the same as it was "in the beginning". EDL is the best stuff. I've got some too, but it doesn't look like it did when I bought it Aye, it'll still do that. In fact, if it's unopened and it's been kept in the dark, it should still run a glo-motor. -- Beav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19
