Available Early March, 2005 - Curtis Youngblood Performance 30 Heli Mix

Youngblood Performance 30 designed for the hardcore 3D flyer in mind.  Where our standard HELIMIX 30%  is designed to maximize torque and provide for ultra smooth FAI compention type flying, our new YP30 is designed for high head speed and ultra 3D flying. YP-30 contains 23% synthetic oil.
 

"I am always looking to improve the products that I fly.  So I was happy to team up with Wildcat and Klotz to take helicopter fuel to the next level. In designing our new fuel, our objectives were clear:

• Design a superior oil that would smoke less in full powered flight but still properly lubricate and protect the engine.
    

• Create a fuel combination that would give the most punch for high revving 3D but still be easy to tune for the beginner.

We succeeded with Youngblood Performance 30 - We think you’ll be impressed!" - Curtis Youngblood

 

HELIMIX is available in FAI, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 30% Nitro formula. HELIMIX is the premier fuel for R/C helicopters designed to produce maximum tourqe and cooling in the harsh environment of heli flying. Helimix contains 18% oil content and is total synthetic. Helimix was designed as a competition fuel with the aid of competition pilots. Their request was for a fuel that smoked less, made more power, superior mid-range transition, lower heat penalties, and smelled good.

Helimix Delivers Less Smoke/More Power/Superior Mid-Range

For years heli pilots associated good lubrication with large amounts of smoke, this is simply not correct. Oils used in R/C fuels can be of different viscosities (different thicknesses or weights) some fuels use large volumes of less viscous (thinner) oil with the idea that since the oil is thinner the engine will be able to accelerate quicker and the greater volume will make up for the reduced protection that the less viscous oil provides. In a few respects this is true, but the penalties outweigh the benefits. By using the less viscous oil a much greater volume is required for lubrication, this in turn reduces the amount of burnable fuel available (the oil does not burn) and thereby reduces power. Usually the result is the pilot over leaning the engine trying to extract the power. The larger volume of oil also produces excessive smoke (carbon) during combustion. WILDCAT uses a more viscous oil at 18% volume. This oil better protects the piston with a stronger shear strength and load carrying capacity lubricant. It also provides for a better seal between the piston and the sleeve, this in turn allows for higher compression due to the reduced blow-by ie.. more power. Because we use a more viscous grade of oil we can use the 18% volume, this allows more methanol and nitromethane (fuel) for the combustion process ie... more power.

By using a higher viscosity oil we can use the recommended amount that meets and exceeds most warranty requirements including the popular OS heli engines. Using a more viscous grade of oil also provides for our next benefit, better heat removal. In straight forward engineering terms the greater the viscosity the higher the heat capacitance. In English, the thicker the substance the more heat it will absorb in a given amount of time. The higher viscosity oil can simply carry away more heat from the engine. Once again, this provides for a cooler running engine that will make more power and transition better. Last but not least, Klotz adds a fragrance additive that they have been producing for years for high performance racing motorcycles this gives our fuel that distinctive good smell and does not distract the judge from what he should be doing, watching your chopper!

With the help of the experts at Klotz Performance Products (The leaders in model lubrication technology) and the experience of expert helicopter pilots WILDCAT FUELS produced a superior helicopter fuel for the 21st century Helimix.
