I just noticed an email in the Yahoo Account. Joe is trying to get Nitro fuel sold on base. His intent is to bring in fuel from the states. If you are interested in stateside nitro fuel please copy and paste the below list into a reply post with your name added. Please keep the list running so I don't have to go through and search each post for names.

Yes right now I am trying to get it imported through the Kadena outdoor rec center. If I can get them to bring it over I have Torco fuels and Byrons ready to supply us. Torco was very pumped up about sending us fuel over here. Either way I need to be able to show what the market would be for Services to get them interested. If worse comes to worse I can get it from the mainland but I would rather get some good US brand fuels. Now with that being said if we have to go with a mainland supplier Byrons might still be a possibility since they are distributed by Mugen Seiki. So I will keep you all updated on progress. Just like anything.....seems the wheels turn slow when it comes to doing anything with the government.....except dropping COLA when the Yen rate goes down. Oh yeah, also if anyone wants to get in on the piston sleeve re-sizing if I get a couple more we can get them done for $15 each plus shipping.

No problem...I have seen a couple engines he has done and he does great work. Unless all the chrome is gone he makes the sleeve is like new again. I have a couple I am going to do then try some porting experiments....gotta love sacrificial engines. If it doesn't work, I'm out $20 for the re-size.

One of those spring cups is from Steve's Kyosho 777. Don't ask me how I know

Please save it so I can return it to him...
