Instructions
REQUIRES: Fuel: 5%-15% nitromethane with 18% lubricant. Synthetic, castor, or
a synthetic/castor blend may be used.
NOTE: Certain four-cycle fuels cannot be used due to low oil content.
However, SOME four-cycle fuels such as the Wildcat 4-Cycle 15%
(CATP9109) may be used because it has a 18% oil content.
When choosing fuels for this engine, the modeler must be sure to
select a fuel with at least a 18% lubricant content.

COMMENTS: Some differences between a 4-stroke and a 2-stroke engine:
A 4-stroke is quieter
A 4-stroke gets better fuel economy
A 2-stroke generates more RPM (11,000-13,000 rpm with prop
while 4-strokes rev to around 9,500 RPM)
A 4-stroke generates much more torque and will swing a larger prop
4-stroke sound realistic (sounds like a REAL aircraft engine)
