I think this is what lazyboyflyer was referring to...I started using redline today on my DLE 170 and no tweaking necessary...went from 32 to 1 amsoil saber to 40 to 1 redline ...didn't have as much black residue as before.... the only problem I can see is don't forget when you add redline...it doesn't change the color of the gasoline like amsoil did..

I use stihl ultra HP 40:1 because it's readily available. Is Redline easily obtained or are most of you guys ordering it online?

It looks like most of the major autoparts stores carry the brand, not sure about the two stroke though.

Their offices/warehouse are located about 35 minutes from my house. However, depending how much I order, it sometimes is cheaper for me to just have them ship it and I get it the next day. So I have done both.

Yep! The two-stroke version is somewhat hard to find. Auto parts stores cary mostly the four-stroke stuff...

I mix snake oil in with panther piss and have a shot of it before I fly.
