Re: Cox Super Power Fuel
I still have the dregs of Ron's test bottle of Hobbico Beta 25%, so I'm tossing the Li'l Satan into the car tomorrow for some between stunting entertainment. So stay tuned for my flight report tomorrow evening, featuring the Yak-9, Magnum and Li'l Satan. And maybe even Wayne's Pathfinder.

Re: Cox Super Power Fuel
It has been a while since I've popped in here.
I ran the test fuel in several engines, too. It was a great performer! The engines seemed to start with more ease, and also ran very steady, The TD .010, My TD .051, some reed valve .049s and the Traveling Engine were the subjects with the new fuel. Good stuff! I think I run engines just a tick on the rich side, so I always have some cleaning to do after flying, and this was no exception. That's a fair trade for proper fuel, that will ensure the longevity of our little powerplants. I'm happy with the results, and would say: move forward with production.
I'm glad to have been offered the opportunity to help with the test, and hope that my little input helps.
Thanks!

Canada shipping?
Will I be able to get the super fuel by mail order here in Cranbrook B.C. The only LHS around deal pretty much entirely with (I think) Tower Hobbies and she doesn't like to special order anything.

Re: Cox Super Power Fuel
Happy New Year guys! I hope you all had a blessed Christmas and wonderful New Year celebration.
We're getting closer to the new Cox Super Power fuel being on the shelves! As I mentioned previously, we have a small logistics issue that delayed us a bit, but we should start receiving shipments in our warehouse by the last week of Jan.
We will have the fuel to Kim in time for the contest, so no worries there.
I will keep you advised later in the month.
For those that are in warm enough climates to do so...keep on flying!

Re: Cox Super Power Fuel
Thanks Dave. I told our club members at our 1/2A fun-fly day about it and it was well received. I hope we can drum up some business for you when it's ready to sell.

new fuel pics
Hi guys!
The new fuel blend is in production and will be shipping to our Champaign warehouse by the end of the month. The west coast warehouse (Reno) will receive it about 1-2 weeks later. Kim has already received the fuel for the contest.
I've attached a photo so you can see the changes we made to easily identify the "new" from the "old".
Please note:
Old (on left):
small cap
horizontal flute
tapered neck
tall label
New (on right):
large cap
vertical flute
straight neck
shorter label
contents sticker
Stock numbers:
25% - COXP1005 (same as previous number)
35% - COXP1010 (new number)
The Cox Fuel website still shows the older bottle and product info. It will be updated soon.

Re: Cox Super Power Fuel
Well done! Thanks Dave. And thanks Hobbico. I will spread the word wherever I can. Maybe I'll actually be able to buy it at a local hobby shop now. Millions of Bees and Tee Dees will avoid an untimely death now.
Since the COXP1005 number is still being used, I presume the old formula will no longer be made. I'm looking forward to putting Hobbico at the top of my list when I need parts and supplies.

Re: Cox Super Power Fuel
My lhs has a big Hobbico sign in the window, so a few weeks
ago I talked-up the new fuel. This store is the typical rtf and
leeky/gas car operation. Not much for me there. The guy I
spoke with said the store isn't a Hobbico dealer per say, but
his distributor is, and he can order anything Hobbico sells.
Then he starts to talk about minimum quantities and shipping
fees. Pfft.
Soooo, I'm also hoping Bernie and Matt will be able to sell the new
fuel. Then again, maybe Hobbico's website may be the way to go
if they don't.

Re: Cox Super Power Fuel
I'm pretty sure my favorite eBay store, omnimodels is a Hobbico dealer. Most of their stuff ships for $1.99. That's as good as a drive across town for me. But if Bernie or Matt sell it, I'll get it there too. I don't do as much 1/2A now days so I don't give them as much support as I used to.dckrsn wrote:My lhs has a big Hobbico sign in the window, so a few weeks

Re: Cox Super Power Fuel
Thanks, Dave, this is good to know. Something did appear to be amiss as photo shows the new bottle and behold, it states the new oil content. I'm glad you folks are providing an alternative, which makes it worthwhile to order. (I live rurally, about 95 miles from hobby stores in Lubbock & Amarillo, Texas and Roswell, NM; and 212 miles from Albuquerque, NM. Thus mail order is sometimes the best option.)Kruzn wrote:Updated webpage: http://www.coxmodels.com/index.html Tower site will be updated soon.

Cool! I’m now an internationally known Test and Quality Assurance Specialist! Hooah!
I’m driving past my local hobby shop today. I’ll stop in and ask them to order a couple of bottles of each nitro content.

Rusty -I found it on the OmniModels.com web site under fuels.1/2a general. Picture shows the NEW bottle, description describes the old formula??? So, I'm not sure what
You'd get if you ordered, but I'd think one call to customer service to specify what you want is what they'll ship. ( oops my bad, the description DOES state 10 percent castor)
THoughts that make you go "HMMM???: Hobbico Dave says the fuel is in stock in the Champaign warehouse, OmniModels is located in Champaign, HHMMM..... I bet they can obtain quickly, if they don't have it in stock!!

EDIT: Okay I see now. I was searching the Omni eBay store. You have to go to the Omnimodels.com main store. http://www3.omnimodels.com/cgi-bin/woi0093p?C=PEK&P=1
They have the 25% so far, not the 35% yet. Can't tell what the shipping is but probably more than their usual $1.99 since it can't go by air.
