Hey blazobob,
Again u still have not answered my question???? Do you have anything whatsoever intelligent to say?? How about give us all your resume. As Winston Churchill said you dont have to be a great man if you surround yourself with great people. I am sure your heli experience smokes mine. As my first post states "HELP NEWBIE". I dont claim to be a HELI EXPERT but like u and everybody else in this hobbie I have a garage full of fixed wing gas, nitro, and electric airplanes laying around. I have been flying rc aircraft as well as the real thing for about 15 years. I have a gentleman in my flight club who has a blade 400 who in real life flys the 747 dream lifter(the real jetliner). When he speaks I listen. Just because he is new to helicopters doesnt make him ignorant to aeronautics or physics. You assume because i am new to helicopters that i know absolutely nothing about anything else.Agin all I asked was why would u made the choice you made. If you made it because everyonelse did or you have mathmatical data to back up your choice then say it!

Your first post in this thread was not "HELP NEWBIE".
You actually started out by calling it an inferior fuel and go on with your statement ,
"This is not an opinion it is a mathmatical fact that is undisputable."(sp)
So Coleman fuel has a lighter molecular weight and is hence much more volatile . Without trying it in an engine you are in no position to judge the available power , and whether or not it is suitable to the application .
Now here in your last post , of this thread , you state .

But you end your first post , of this thread , with this statement .

| So why is anybody even thinking about it. It is an inferior, engine damaging fuel source

You should try and appreciate that a lot of the statements , you made in your first post of this thread , come off as pretty inflammatory .
You did receive a half dozen reasons why people , that have tried both , are choosing to use camp fuel .
The general opinions of people who use camp fuel seem to be
Engines run noticeably cooler on camp fuel
Less carbon buildup with camp fuel
Camp fuel dosen't stink
Camp fuel is more consistent from gallon to gallon , and year to year than pump gas
How much alcohol are they putting in pump gas today
How much water has that alcohol absorbed
Octane is needed in high compression engines to avoid detonation
Yet you regurgitate that you spoke to Desert Aircraft , some chemical engineer for a major US petroleum distiller , and the Zenoah manual . FYI There are a half dozen other sources that say not to use it in engines , including Coleman . In this day and age , of liability and litigation , it is little surprise that companies would take this tack
And just so you can go away with my answer , here it is , I have tried both and prefer running camp fuel  , dosen't much matter to me what or who you have heard your info from , i will stick with my own experience . Might be something you should try sometime .
I think your problem with me is , you come galloping in on your high horse , spattering the fliers in this forum with your crap , and then get upset with me , for slinging a little of it back at you
It is six to one , and a half dozen to the other . Run with which ever one you feel better about and enjoy .
It has been fun , BUT I'll be sitting back with popcorn from here on out , BOB

It's kind of rude to come on here as someone with less than 10 posts and tell folks that have been doing this for years that they are all wrong..
