subscribed to deagostini ages ago and have almost finished building it, it says you should use 5% nitro fuel for running in then use 10%, but i can only find 16% stuff that halfords sell.

However on another forum of which im not a member im sure it said they use 16% for running in then 25%.
I cant find the site now tho to check, can anyone help me?

I've got a feeling that 10% is the lowest you can buy to be honest. Don't think I've ever heard of 5% nitro fuel. I used to run mine on Blue Thunder 10% . I'm sure if you follow the run-in procedure correctly and use the 10% fuel it will be fine mate!

Ayr Models Centre
10 Galloway Avenue, Ayrshire, KA8 9NT
Tel. No. 01292 265338
Fax. No. 01292 265338
Shop Hours Monday - Saturday 9.30am - 6.00pm Late opening 10 - 8.00pm

Just searched for model shops in Ayrshire and managed to find that, might be worth ringing them to find out if they sell nitro fuel?

Oh and I'm 99% sure now that it's 10% fuel you'll need, pretty sure you can't get 5%
