Frank,
(This is going out to everyone. So sue me.) I carried a quart of
it with me where ever I flew and never had any problems. I think they
are just "covering their butts," so to speak. If a person's cockpit was
fairly airtight I'm sure that the fumes would be bad if the cap wasn't
on tight, but if a person makes sure that the cap is tight, and in a
Coupe, where air comes and goes fairly freely, I don't think we'd have a
problem. Just my opinion, though.

Syd,
What a great service being offered by Tommy Terry! It is a shame
that the shipping costs exceed the product costs for TCP. If I
understand this correctly, the core issue is that TCP
is "explosive." I seem to remember that you are not allowed to
transport it in your aircraft. If that is indeed the case, noone who
flies to the 2008 Ercoupe convention should be able to or would want
to return with this bargain priced TCP in the cabin of their
Ercoupe. That might restrict the sales of that pallet of product.
