We'd do straight 50 weight oil in the winter and 60 weight in the summer.

There used to be at least 5 grades of av gas -

80-87 was red
91-96 was blue
100-130 was green
108-135 was brown
115-145 was purple

And I seem to recall there was yellow down in the 70-78 range.

Now about all you find is 100LL and 80 UL, totally different stuff.

You touched a disk brake on a Three? All I ever had were drums and expander tubes.

Fabric is lighter.
