Fuel

I would like to know is there any different for the nitro-fuel on RC car to RC airplane to Helicopter?
Can I use the nitro for car to use in Helicopter?

you would need to check the exact composition of the fuel you were buying.

Most heli pilots use fuels mixed with synthetic oils rather than the more traditional castor oil based glo-fuel.

The demands on the fuel will be different for a car engine which will be speeding up and slowing down all the time and a heli that once up to speed stays at about the same revs for the whole flight.

I'm pretty sure yellowtang mixes his own fuel by adding heli oil to some other kind of fuel, but i may have confused him with someone else

To make it simple ( or ) the Glo-fuel for car can be use for the heli as well as the airplane as they respond to speed better?

Is it the business tactic to confuse customer? (I would like to have a fuel for my car, airplane and heli) or can I take it that different glo-fuel will not damage the engine, just the performance might change?

I think it's just the difference in:

- power demands
- revs
- cooling airflow
