A form of avgas I think
but I stand to be corrected as always.


I wasnt knocking the nitro thingy just saying as it may be worth advising any potential hillclimber/sprinters that its not permitted on the hills/sprints....

Nick runs his spinner on domestic central heating oil(kerosene).Not volatile at all realy.Its similar to aviation fuel but much cheaper.The motor is actually a starter motor off a Wessex helicopter.

Inventive as ever .. it was only after blackx said about no Nitrous in hillclimbing that it occurred to me, I figured Sports Libre was pretty free to do what it wanted including fueling etc.

I'll keep you posted on next years show and hopefully we can sort out some more co-operation.
