I would like to reaffirm all that is right and good about the aviation comunity.
There is so much good in aviation. ?Today as with most days, I have neighbors

aviation goals both materially and with thier time. ?

I've just put over 300 hours on mine, almost exclusively on auto fuel, if

"So then I can go back and forth if need be?"
Hello David,
Besides the price, the only negative thing I have read about using 100LL
is its appetite for oxygen sensors. Of course, if you aren't using one
that won't be a problem.

Avgas is reckoned to be less prone to carb icing - not sure why that

The lead in avgas also helps reduces valve seat wear.

Actually, Avgas has a lower vapor pressure, so doesn't cool the carb as
much during atomization. Thus it freezes less water out of the air and
is less prone to cause carb ice when conditions are ripe for carb icing.
Avgas is also refined diffferently and does not have the varnishes and
oils that

I just got in from painting the area of the fuel probe surgery and really
needed a break. That is most cool. Is that a DC2? Anyway, whatever it is,
that landing was fantastic and looked just like the way you land a KR.

Larry this one doesn't apply to you because I know you are powered by an
aircraft engine and therefore already know what oil should be used in =

I've watched this oil thread and seen all the varying replies. Some have
been close but others not so close. I worked for Shell for years and can
Just to be clear on this, if I plan to run 100ll in my
covair powered KR2S then I should only use aviation
oil? Anything else would be asking for trouble (lead
deposits, rust etc.)? But if I use auto gas, I can
run any oil I want?
