Hey guys, Ive been running cool power 15% for about 6 gallons now, and am looking for a little more power. Does 30% really make that big a difference? and what do I have to do to the engine (needles) to get it to accept the fuel properly. Or am I making a big deal of this?

Yuo will need to go richer if you up the nitro -- but not much.

Really people make too big of deal out of changing fuels. Its as simple as filling tank with new fuel, adjusting the needles a bit and flying.

Also higher nitro fuel will give you a shorter flight time (less fuel more oxidizer in the mix) so just keep that in mind.
