Ah yes, Castrol R....that brings back some memories! Ive always preferred the semi-synthetics, Shell always used to be one of the best and Rock Oil, as they don't cause so much oiling up but do a better job than the pure synthetics.

I am looking forward to the open cockpit and lower speeds and getting a chance to get some good aerial photos with no screens to cause problems, being even cheaper than the Europa is good too!

Thanks for the comment on the conrod bearing tester, I think the engine is approaching 500 hrs, what kind of life would you expect from one?

Any thoughts on anything i should be aware of on the wing, common problems etc?
