gasoline in FAI fuel?

[Wayne Galligan]

Yes... I am interested in hearing this theory.   I thought gasoline had
fewer btu's then alcohol and how does it aid in ignition?   Does it retard
ignition or advance it?

Lance V. has been running FAI fuel through his engines as an after run to
dissipate the nitro left over in the engine.  I am waiting for his results
as he just started doing this in the last few months,

  Youre saying add 15% gasoline to FAI fuel? Does the power compare to nitro
fuel and how about the idle?

don't run your engine dry after flying, just drain tank allow some oil to
protect bearings from moisture. a soft mount without nose ring will allow
engine to oscillate around crank putting much more pressure on bearings at
unintended angles. have you ever held a mechanical gyro while spinning - if
you move it left, right, up or down it will not react but as soon as you
twist it off axis it will drop rpm and fight.
