Yes and the instant response that high nitro give you with a cupped up prop is the ticket.
It will work with lower nitro but you will have to be on the clock wide open.
Nitro is a crutch for sure.
High nitro percentages are NOT in the future of the hobby, if the hobby is to survive.
I don't care how much money one may think they have to spend on the hobby, reality
will hit when we find there is no one to race with, and the wife slaps one with divorce
papers.
It's been proven that straight methanol runs a 15cc rigger in the mid 90's.... more than once.
American's are overdue for a big lesson, and trust me, it's on its way. Arrogance and ego have
been on an exponential rise with no slowing down in sight. It just is what it is.
We should focus on getting all of our products back on American soil within the manufacturing
and marketing realm. That's something American's seem to have forgotten how to do.
We're relying on Italian engines whose bag of oats come from China. And yet we're supposed
to be ahead of everyone in the technology realm?..... it's time to prove it.
I've been chasing small and large CNC and Metal Forming outfits to get pipes made within a
low cost production realm- not the $300+ per pipe that CNC'd pipes have been selling for.
It's the same old problem- these American shops don't want to talk to you about something
as mundane as an engineered aluminum, titanium, whatever, tuned pipe for a toy boat- they
want those 6 figure jobs waltzing in their front door. And people wonder why China's taking
our lunch, and eating it, too?.... I, for one, do not!.... trust me, the worst is yet to come.
This hobby is going to self destruct from within in America. Obviously, it's well on course now.
And, please, don't shoot the messenger!
