Home brew (FAI fuel)

[griemar]

I'm sure I'm going to get flamed even for thinking it, but has anyone ran FAI fuel? I've been researching it and have read allot that a 85/15 mix of methanol/castor can work well in RC engines. Has anyone tried running this, is it as easy as it sounds and is it really ok to run in these engines? I trust you guys to help me out here and not to rant to much. Just please be kind with the remarks, I'm simply curious. Thanks.

I've heard of the nitrotane but not the Power Master. I'll have to look that up then. I'm just on a education kick I guess you could say. Checking all the types of fuels ect that can be run. Thanks.

Power master has been around a long time, have you had good luck with it GH Racing?

As for FAI fuel, I may have to try it, I'm all for running my truck cheaper. I can get methanol at the local drastrip a lot cheaper than nitro fuel, but where to find a good grade of castor oil?
