Gypsy Engines/ 100LL
Hi Gasax,
I operate 2 Gypsy engines (I call them Pykies!) - a 1 and a 10/2.
THe 1 is unmodded apart from the valve seats, the 10/2 has all the mods.
Both purr away happily on 100LL.
In fact I flew behind the 10/2 to Sweden and back in June (see next issue of Plot) - it was sweltering.
THe thought of Mogas over all those lakes and trees is unthinkable.
Stick it in your car - use aeroplane fuel for aeroplanes.
Too many accidents have occurred as a result of vapour lock.
I feel that there are too many people prepared to take short cuts just to save money. At the end of the day, flying costs. I think you will be surprised how many people don't even insure their aircraft for 3rd party risks.
Pay the money, fly safe. If you can't afford it, join a group.
