[Rob Killick]

Hi ,

Sorry , didn't mean to yell , but I'm having a heck of a time finding Sig 25% all castor (5% and 10% nitro) fuel , in gallons .
Anyone in the Canada , know where I can get gallon cases of this fuel ?

Thanks

Did you try Great Hobbies? If they don't have Sig, they have Omega, which is what I use. I just add about 4 oz's of castor.

I also use Omega but I add 10 oz. of castor, works just fine.

Hi Rob,  I don't have any easy answers for you.  Cellar Dweller in Winnipeg used to sell a fair amount of
Sig fuel, ( they are a Sig Dealer ) but haven't for awhile most likely because of the costs and new shipping
hassles across the border, but sell a lot of R/C fuel mixtures ( like Cool Power ). 

Most CL'ers in Winnipeg stock up on Sig fuel when they go to contests in the U.S., such as the
SIG C/L contest, or the Fargo Skylarks CL contest in Fargo North Dakota.  Paul's Model Supply
in Fargo being the hobby Shop to go to ( http://www.paulsmodelsupply.com/ ). 

   Are their any hobby shops in Flin Flon?? The easiest solution is to get some cheap R/C fuel,
and add a good slug of castor.    Personally, I mix my own fuel and purchase ingredients when needed. 

Also, you might try Eliminator hobby in Winnipeg.  They can mix fuel for you, in any mix
you want, but again, it might be expensive, especially with the shipping??   

Your best bet might be to send out some emails to various shops ( like those I mentioned )and
find out what they can do for you.
If you get down to Winnipeg, let a few guys in the Perfect Circle Flying Club
know you're coming and you might be able to pry some good stuff away from someone, if
their own supply is not low!??  Bring somethin' to fly.

Rob,
If you want PowerMaster, Hobby World in Saskatoon carries it. At the moment they have the RC blends and the GMA blend. The GMA is 11/11 syn/castor. They will be ordering new stock soon - contact them to see if all castor is available from the distributor.

Modelland (www.modelland.com) in Calgary has it or they will get it for you. Give them a call @ 403 249-1661.

Hi ,

First off , I have have to apologize for not replying sooner , as I thought my post was lost .
Secondly ...

Thank you very much for the help .
I live in North Central Manitoba , so I'm quite remote from the main centers .
The Cellar Dweller in Winnipeg is going to try to get fuel for me and I have had several other private people offer their assistance .
Kudos to you all . 
Seeing how there is still a foot of snow here , I shall patiently wait until May before making any decisions , concerning how much and what kind of "juice" I will purchase .
Again , Thanks to all for the great info ,

All the best ,

Rob Killick
