Let me know if you find a source, Ray!  I have been looking for nitro for about 10 years.  No one around here has it for sale.  Looked for karting and drag racing sources, but no luck.  They are *SUPPOSED* to use it a lot, but not around here.

Klotz in Fort Wayne IN (the oil folks) used to sell nitro in gallon cans.  It might be worth a call.

I believe Red Max will sell fuel components, so you might check with them. Otherwise, ask at all the hotrod shops and any boat racing shops you can find. Don't overlook boat "prop shops".  Sometimes, they'll know somebody who will sell some, especially at the end of the racing season. Bring your own cans or jugs. A lot of those folks might be ex-modellers, 'cause a lot of gearheads are.  y1 Steve

Bill and all, I bought a gallon some years ago from Stan Rauktis (sp?) of S&W Fuels in Pennsylvania. Don't know if they're still in business. Doug Taffinder may still have some to sell. Got a gallon from him at Brodak's some years ago.   H^^

Howard, thanks for the link!  I will definitely order a quart just to bring up the nitro mix in my 1/2a fuels for cold weather flying.    Thanks again,, Ray
