I'm also a member of Avon and they are planning on placing a bulk nitro fuel order this spring. I 'm planning on piggy backing on their order for those of Shearwater members that might be in need of fuel this year. MSC is not stocking individual gallons of fuel and Maritime hobbies don't sell it anymore. so unless you order online and pay major shipping costs you won't get any fuel this year. MSC will only sell fuel by the case (4xGallons) so we need to be smart about this and team up to get the nitro percentage you are looking for. I have a person from Avon looking into the price /case now and will publish what the cost will be for 5%,10% and 4 cycle once I hear back.
In the meantime I would suggest we place a wish-list of what you would like to get for fuel this spring here on this thread. include in any response the number of gallons and percentage of nitro and we can pair up to make full cases. When I have a price and time frame. If this all goes through I will collect the money and pay for the fuel to the Avon Club and when the fuel arrives will be able to hand it out.
last week at the indoor many people were talking about this summer and fuel problems so this might help a lot of us out.
I'll start....I'm looking for 2 x Gal of 10%

I know it's unual, but I'd be interested in a couple of gallons of 10% as well. Scooterboy (aka Kevin Baker)

Received this today and it was posted on the Wings of Wellington Facebook page. I still plan on making a list for fuel but will hold off on collecting any money until we know flying will resume. if we have the list we can submit on short notice and people can update your choice and amount here on this thread.
Kevin FYI the Facebook page is private and only members can see any posts.
Good afternoon all,
I was planning on putting in a fuel order for a couple different clubs and individuals through Geoff at Mighty Small Cars, however, due to the inability of MAAC to inform us members what the hell is going on and when it’s going to be resolved, the order will be put on hold for who knows how long. Sorry for the change in plans, but it looks like shit isn’t happening.
Dave
