Great for gliding Clubs

At Phoenix GC (Brüggen) 45 Gallon drum of waste Avtur +5 gallon can of waste engine oil = 50 gallons of diesel for cable retrieve Mercedes 180Ds (scrapped TUV failures) My children, 14 and 12, loved the competition to see who could get back up the taxiway to the winch before the glider dropped the cable. When a 180 died, we just pulled another one out of the shed.
