KR> Selecting an airport to be based at

[Dave Acklam]

At least around where I am, some of the public airports sell mogas on-field.

It's one of the few places in WA where you can get booze-free gas.

That said, I found a private airport that rents T-hangars for $150/mo and
is closer to my house than any other field that's not a
residents-only-airpark, so that was an easy choice...

Maybe it is because airplane have vented tanks and quick drains while cars 
have closed fuel systems.  Most gas cans also have tight fitting caps.

Same logic that my homeowners insurance used when they could care less
if my garage attached to my house and next to my bedroom had two cars
and a riding mower with gas and all the gas cans I wanted, but they
refused to insure my hanger separate from the house because it contained
an airplane.  Makes no difference that the cars can be 50 years old with
rusting steel tanks and the plane is inspected regularly to FAA
standards.



So, that begs the question, why is 200 gallons of fuel stored in the
tanks
of an airplane more save than 20 gallons of fuel stored in approved
containers that are completely sealed?

I rented my second one to a guy with a Cessna 210. He told me one day
that
he'd lost 19 gallons of 100LL out of the wing tank and onto the floor of
the
hangar about a week earlier. Apparently his petcock failed somehow and
drained one wing tank.

ALSO, watch out for other vehicles in your hangar. Just two weeks ago I
opened the door to my hangar and the smell of gas overwhelmed me. A couple
of days earlier I had started my motorcycle for the first time since last
fall and the vacuum style petcock on the gas tank failed open and drained
several gallons out through the carbs. I too am in a long connected T-hangar
with more money in there than I will ever make in this life and maybe even
in my next life combined. I do have a million dollar insurance policy on the
hangar but you know how there are always loopholes.

[Oscar Zuniga]

My hangar lease agreement stipulates that fuel or combustibles outside the 
aircraft fuel tank(s) may not be stored in the hangar in any quantity.  It's 
not really to protect the nearby FBO who has a self-service avgas pump that has 
never pumped anything that costs less than $4/gallon, it's to protect the other 
hangar owners, most of whom have airplanes that are worth more than 15x what my 
little Pietenpol with an A75 and 16 gallon fuel tank are worth.

Directly behind me, for example, and only the thickness of one layer of 
corrugated sheet metal away, is a gorgeous Beech Duke.  In the row of hangars 
across from me are a couple of Cirrus's, an RV-8 whose instrument panel is 
probably worth more than my house, and directly next door to me is a Cessna 
Skylane that I would have to work all of my remaining lifespan to be able to 
afford after paying my own bills and the undertaker's bill.  A couple of 
5-gallon totes of $2/gallon mogas in my hangar could bring those differences in 
value to the immediate forefront if they were to spill and ignite.

I've been running the 8.5:1 compression O-200 in my KR and the 8.5:1 160 HP 
O-320 in my SuperCub clone on a diet of 100% E0 premium fuel for the last 2 
years.  I have a tank with filter, grounds, and electric fuel pump that is 
anchored in the bed of my truck.  Nobody at the airport (including the airport 
manager) has said anything about it other than they wish they had the same 
setup.  I do make it a point to use safe practices for fire mitigation like 
never fueling in the hangar.

Previously, one of the other pilots proposed to park his truck on the ramp at 
the airport with my tank in the back to be used for fueling.  Of course the 
airport administration went liability crazy and denied his request.  When I 
decided to start using Mogas, I didn't ask.  I just made sure my fueling rig 
was configured with the proper venting, filter, ground, and pump for the 
application and started using it.  I also keep it painted and nice looking.  
They never questioned it.  It looks exactly the same as the fueling rigs hauled 
around in many pickups for fueling farm equipment out in the fields, except 
cleaner.  :o)

As Mark says, you want to start out with 100LL until you find whether you have 
cooling/vapor lock issues and what your detonation margin might be.

 One of the benefits of a Corvair engine is being able to use mogas.  But if

I operated my B33 out of two public airports in OR for years. Realize that with 
aux tanks I could transfer as much as 80 gals of mogas at a time. I used 
approved plastic jugs that frequently filled my car trunk and back seat. I was 
discrete and safe, and completely unchallenged. I heard that federally-funded 
airports had to allow self-fueling. Never had to ask. Peter

That's certainly the case at the three major airports around my place.  But the 
manager of the one I started out at told me privately "just don't let me or 
anybody else see it".  I subsequently put 40 hours on it without buying any

Having said that, you definitely want to start out burning 100LL, for the 
detonation and vapor lock resistance.  Gradually work up to pure autofuel.  
I've been using auto fuel in N891JF over the winter, but I always have at least 
25% 100LL in the tank for extra margin until I can install a second tank and do 
some inflight testing to prove that pure auto fuel will work for me with this

Well guys, I just got back from the airport after giving up on flying today. I 
had high hopes of getting in the air but the winds turned against me. When I 
got to the airport this morning they were actually at a 40° degree crosswind 
and at 14 gusting to 20. It never let up. I did get a lot of minor things done 
to my plane during the time I was there. Too bad the winds did not cooperate.

It won't be long now!  

I'll repeat an earlier WARNING I posted.  Once you have the wings
attached, don't even think about getting close to the runway until
it's COMPLETELY READY TO FLY.  Fast taxi tests can turn to
first flight in the blink of an eye.  Don't ask me how I know.

Actually that is my brother in law. He's too cheap to buy new jeans. :-)

KR> To The Airport

[Mark Langford]

Good news, Mark.  Looks like you'll beat me in the air.

I went to the airport myself today, and finally got my tailwheel endorsement
in the Champ.  I'd have had it earlier, but we needed to cover wheel
landings, which we took care of today.  In the next few weeks I'll graduate
to Rick's Swift, which sounds like it has handling characteristics similar
to what I expect from my plane, and work on wheel landings some more.

Somehow I accidently got added to the DAR's list of things to sign off on
Wednesday, although I'm nowhere near ready.  He's already coming to town to
do an RV-7 and a Baby Lakes, and I guess he thought he'd take care of me
too.  But just for kicks, I'm going to knock out as many things as I can
before he gets here, and let him take a look at it since he'll be nearby.
All I lack is stuff like carb heat, canopy latches, flap indication,
installing wings and connecting ailerons and flaps, N numbers, EXPERIMENTAL,
and data plate (these last three are standing and could be installed in
minutes), shoulder belts, and a relative biggie, final weight and balance,
along with stuff like mode-c calibration and compass deviation card.  We'll
see how it goes, but I certainly don't expect to get signed off.  Maybe
we'll call it the "pre-inspection" inspection...

Congrats on the endorsement! This DAR could put you down in the history
books with a pre-finished airworthy certificate. He just may not want to
make the trip again and is impressed enough by your work to give you the
certificate with must does before flight notes. Let us know what he says.

KR> To The Airport

[The Weber's]

Mark;
   The empty shop syndrome,  I know what you mean. But it is great having
the plane at the airport.  What do you have left to do on the wings.
   I passed the half way point today. 22hrs done 18 to go.
 See you a Mt. Vernon.

Joe,
On the left wing, I have to finish the wing tip and cut out the aileron. On
the right wing, I have to do the bottom skin, wing tip and aileron. Still a
ways to go on the wings. I plan on having most of this work done by the
Gathering which, by the way is 23 days away.
