C'mon, Bob, it's in the Rule Book! CL Speed, paragraph 7. n~

With fuel cost going up and jet fuel being 20% nitro and each run using 8+ oz for Sport Jet why not go back to simple Coleman fuel (white gas)? If everyone is using the same fuel supplied by the contest all is on a level field and easy to get. Just a fun event to make some noise and fly some cool speed ships, makes sense.

Not to me. It's not like "we" fly a hundred flights away from a contest environment. Cost of "jet fuel" is the least of my concerns.

The jet flyers back at Rouge Park in Detroit just used gasoline. At the time $.79 per gallon, now $3.299. But still less than high priced model fuel.

Let's say nitro from the hot rod shop is $50 per gallon and methanol is $10. That's only $18.00 per gallon for 80/20 jet fuel. That's actually cheaper than a lot of glow fuels on the market today. In the overall scheme of things, jet fliers aren't worried about the cost of fuel.

why is it that flyers that don't even fly the event are always ready to make it better?

Wise beyond your years!
