Does Nitroethane have the same detonation properties that Nitromethane has?

My searches over the last few days have revealed nothing about a detonation hazard.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Mark. I had a suspicion it was a similiar to Nitromethane.

Interesting tidbit.
"Among the compounds for which nitroethane is useful, both methamphetamine and MDMA may be synthesized using nitroethane as an essential precursor; for this reason, nitroethane has been designated a List I precursor chemical under the Controlled Substances Act in the USA."

What's funny is that iodine is on the list. I'm glad methanol isn't on the list. ha
