3M Fuels

[Koenig, Tom]

Hi all,

Just an observation I thought that you 3M users may find useful.

Some of my flying mates are using the 3M 170, the fuel choice seems to be of
vital importance.
Best results ( and by a looooooong way) have been obtained by thinning down
the Coolpower 20% Heli to 15% total nitro content. This results in an oil
content of around 16.5% ( roughly)

The instructions do mention MicroMotul oil ( also a low viscosity oil), but
due to cost and availability ( lack of) my friends have not tried this yet.
Klotz KL-198 is in the process of being tried however.

So if it wont run properly and chews plugs, give this a try. It seems to
have fixed theirs. Night and day!

Tom
