Default Ritch's Brew 1/2A fuel

So I head over to the LHS to grab some pm20/20, figuring to run it in the SureStart & the .46OS..... ooops, no PowerMaster at this shop. So I get all flustered and discombobulated... I was near the point of babeling (more than ususal)... when the guy points to the quart of 1/2A juice.

Ritch's Brew, Houston Texas.
Makes all the normal flavors & 1/2A 30/20.

Anybody use it? Anything I should know about it?

I sometimes snag a pint of their 30/20 all synthetic from a chopper enthusiast at my field when I backslide and want to run my old Cox stuff. I always added a bit of castor to it before use. The Half A 30/20 castor/syn blend should be fine unless you are leaning out for max rpm every time.

I have run NOTHING but Ritch's Brew for about 6 years now. Everything from 5% to 30%, ALWAYS 20% ALL SYNTHETIC. You can quote me in court......

I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY FUEL RELATED PROBLEM OF ANY KIND. EVER! ENGINES NEVER RUST OUT LIKE WITH OUTHER COMMERCIAL FUELS. GLOW PLUGS LAST LONGER TOO.

You will not go wrong with his fuels.

I ordered some Rich's brew with 60% nitro and all castor lube for my TD .010. Richard shipped it in one quart jugs through the mail. I HIGHLY recommend Rich's brew, he'll make small batches with any formulation you want. Performance in my little TDs is outstanding. Well, it should be, I WAS running 25% before. But that sweet smell of burned castor brought me WAY back to my first engine. A Cox naturally on Cox's Missile Mist. Smelled exactly like that. God, I wish I was 13 again.

Andy W,

I think that's FOX Missile Mist. Your little lapse is positive anecdotal proof of what sniffing that stuff will do to your brain...

That sounds great, as long as the older you with all the experience stands over your shoulder and can give you some hints and suggestions.

Actually, I think that might spoil the fun,, you know, all pumped to try something and getting those Eureka moments when it works out.

On the other hand,, when it comes to dealing with the other gender,,,,,, [:@]
