im thinking to try indian made fuel on my rc.. is it good .. any1 used before ???
from where? (from what I know only tornado is the ready made fuel available in India)
Pros like Girish get their own fuel made through chemists...
P.S.: @Girish: I still need to collect some from your hangar!! (hiding under a chair as I type this) :P
Well.... you too may make your own Fuel for your glow engines.... just get some Methanol and Castor oil from the local Chemist and mix them in 80:20 ratio. No need to add any nitro methane till you need that extra kick from the engine.... For general use plain fuel without the NITRO is good enough. I done that for many many years and so can you too.
-corrected.

@shobhit17 sir,
You may like to edit that ;D

How much does castor oil cost and which one do you guys use generally? I figured that the combined cost with methanol turns out to be equal to a 1% nitro 4 litre can priced at 1600 bucks at rcskyhobby.com
i know 1 indian fuel which made by mayuraa chemicals by Mr. ethiraj N. from chennai it cost 400 for ltr. but donno exact how performance is .. just want to know if any1 used it before or not.. :P
I bought castor oil @ Rs 160 per kg (sold by weight here in Bangalore) nearly equal to a litre - enough to prepare 5 ltrs of fuel.
Thanks a lot KK Sir for pointing out my mistake... ok here it is... "for general use plain fuel without the NITRO is good enough..."
