hi the os what tipe fo Fuel.I think u dont now this Fuel is called Byron fuel.

this is

Byrons is an OK well known brand of model engine fuel. :yes:

Some other acceptabe fuel names are Cool Power, Wildcat, and Omega, if available in your local area.

Most any fuel with at least 17% oil/lubricant (I like pure synthetic blend myself, but others like syn/castor blend) and around 5% to 15% nitro-methane if allowed in fuel in your area.

There are basically two types of nitro fuel: those containing natural castor oil for lubrication, and those containing synthetic lubricants.
Some people swear by the fuel with natural oil (usually pink colored), others think the synthetic is the best (usually green colored).

I know some pilots who only prefer the green fuel because it doesn't leave a nasty, hard-to-remove brown residue on the engine!... <_<

As far as nitro percentage, most people in the US use 10% to 20% for airplanes. Helicopter pilots may use 15% to 30% nitro fuels (special heli blend fuels may contain more oil than the other fuels).

In European countries it is common to see fuels with only 5% nito or none! (And their engines may last longer or forever that way!)

which tiyp is fuel for os 46

I believe that the info pretty much applies to all 2-stroke nitro engines ranging from .10 to 1.X.
I'm told that the larger engines such as the Italian SuperTigre 2000 series engines require less nitro (only 5%) to run properly.

Speaking of Italy... From your forum member profile I see that you are from Malta, one of the Maltese Islands, located half way between Sicily and North Africa. Are you a true native Maltesian (I suppose that's how natives of Malta are called) or an "import"? ;)
I'm just curious, as I am from the Netherlands (although I was born on the island of Java in Indonesia.)

My forum username should really be Flying Dutchman... :lol:

I like the omega fuel. If I remember right it's a blend of castor and synthetic oil. I like having the castor as it protects the engine a little better than the synthetic. When an engine sets the castor will continue to protect against rust where the synthetic wont. On the other hand, there's nothing like the smell of byron fuel :rolleyes:

hi
what tipe of Fuel for os. MAX-46FX

:) hi
what tipe of Fuel for os. MAX-46FX

Any of the fuels mentioned by Alvin will be fine. I personally use omega because of the castor...

I like to use the 10 to 15% nitro. The higher the Nitro the cooler the engine will run at higher RPMs that is why Helos use 30% because they run wide open. You do sacrifice longetivity with higher nitro. But most people don't wear an engine out because of use. It is either non use i.e rust, or crashing.

which tipe of fuel is for tinder tiger 46

Alan,
You should really read all the previous messages on this subject! <_<
We said that ALMOST ANY nitro fuel from 5% to 20% will work fine for ANY brand nitro engine, including the Thunder Tiger...

To refresh your memory, here are previous references on the fuel requirements... :)

Now get that plane and an engine, buy some fuel, and FLY! :lol:

i hard the os is not good

Actually OS is one of the better engines out there!!!!

Well Alan, I can think of several reasons that OS engine might NOT be good for you because they crank easy and run good.

1. Engine would crank quick, meaning more flights, meaning more chance of crashes.

2. Engine would crank and run long time, meaning you would use more fuel, meaning you have to spend more money for fuel.

3. Engine would run good and strong, meaning that when you did crash, plane would be going faster and tear up more stuff to be repaired or have to buy new.

4. Engine would crank and run good enough that you would be flying a lot, meaning you would use up lots of rags & towels and energy just cleaning up your plane from the engine exhaust residue.

5. OS engine would last a long time, meaning you would not get the chance to be buying as many new engines for the fun of spending money and seeing new shinny paper weights.


All of above, sort of joking, but is also true to some extent.

Please, if you have/know a RC flier in your local area who is having good experience with a particular brand of anything related to the RC hobby, get with them and use what they use and they will close at hand to help with getting your stuff working right.

Of course we be glad to help here, but we like OS engines and some others also, but OS engines are good, very good.
Take my word for it and I am unanimous in that.

I have to agree with Jon and Alvin.
In my 18 years or so in this hobby I don't recall ever having heard that OS is not very good.
I have owned the following brands of 2-stroke engines, and I still have at least one of brand, except the Fox.
I have more O.S. and Webra engines than any other...

O.S. (Japan)
Webra (Austria)
Y.S. (Japan)
Super Tigre (Italy)
Thunder Tiger (US)
MDS (Russia)
Enya (Japan)
MDDS (Czechoslovakia)
Fox (US)
Irvine (England)

Perhaps you have been listening to someone who writes or works for another engine company, or someone who had one bad experience with an O.S. engine.
You CAN NOT go wrong with an O.S. engine! :thumbup:

O.S. engines are GREAT :thumbup: I have had bearing trouble with Evolution and Saito :thumbdown:

I have
2-- O.S 46 fx
1--O.S.46 ax
1-- Evolution 46. It has been in for bearings two times.
1--O.S. 70 Surpass Four stroke. New only Three flights.
1--Saito 56 Four stroke.It is JUNK :thumbdown: I just sent it in for the fourth time
1--Saito 72 Four stroke. It needs bearings replaced.
1--Saito 100 Four stroke. This Saito is doing better then the 56 and 72 so far.

I will never buy anything but O.S. in future. :thumbup: :dance:

Don

O.S. is the only way to go! Believe me I have tried to save 20$-30$ by going with other brands....big mistake! I have never had a problem with ANY of my O.S. engines, but I can't say the same about the other brands I have owned!
