More fuel.

Nothing better than free fuel.

Wrong time of year really, model plane fuel goes off when it sits around for months, I think?

I never had a problem burning through fuel year round using straight and 30%

Fuel does go off as the methanol is hygroscopic - BUT- if you minimise the air gap by purchasing a collapsible container or Vacu-vin the container (wine bottles work really well) then the fuel will keep.

RealFlight 7

It's a flight sim that takes the input from a remote control, useful for practice in the dark evenings.
