HIROBO Freya - Sceadu - Shuttle > Oil% in Fuel?? Add oil to Fuel??

I am using Byron Castor/Synthetic Blend 15% nitro fuel 16%oil..................This is the only fuel available here in my country.

What is the diference about this fuel and the regular 15% Heli Fuel

I have hear that people add oil to the Fuel..............
What oil I have to add??? Castor??? Synthetic??? and how many onces???


My Hirobo Shuttle / OS 32SX with Weston one piece pipe last 3 year using this Byron fuel ......I using it very lean screamin the hell of it.
Now, I am in my second OS 32SX

Now my concern is that I have a New YS 61 ST-2 in a Raptor and I dont know if this engine will last with this Byron Fuel.

I am also thinking Of buying a Webra 52AAR for a HIROBO SCEADU and have the same concern.

Most use All Synthetic oil. Castor is a bit messy, stains the muffler, etc. You can use it, it is just less appealing than synthetic. I don't know what oil byron uses. If it is low viscosity then you should add oil. If it is high viscosity, I would still think you would want 18%. If it is Klotz then it is probably high viscosity but the only one I know that has Klotz already in it is Wildcat. If you use a good fuel and you are using it for what it is designed for then there is no reason to add oil. Don't run it lean in any case. That will ruin the engine. You could use engines made to perform better with low oil and low nitro. I know nothing about those. Does Byron not make a 15% "2&4 cycle" fuel?

I would just use that fuel. 16% is ok but leaves no room for error. Just never run lean. Use a temp guage and keep the head in the 200 to 220 degree (F) range.
