Hello Jadw,

Welcome.

By cars you mean full sized cars not RC cars right?.

The fuel you use depends on the type of heli you have if you have a "gasser" then normal car gasoline fuel is okay provided you mix it with a good lubricant. Other than that you need to get a hold of Helicopter glow fuel which is usually a mix of Ethanol and Nitromethane and lubricants. If you dont know whether your heli is a gasser or not then assume it isnt.

Take a look at http://www.magnumfuels.com or http://www.morganfuel.com/cp_main.htm

Take care .... Azzy

Hi again

The shuttle will have a glow engine. You need to get glow fuel for it. The links in my last post may help.

Take care... Azzy
