I've found that mogas at airports is typically 87 octane or sonot

Hi Mark, Sounds like you're stuck taking on avgas when on an away trip
with the plane. Avgas around here at the one cheap airport is $4.75,
over $5 at most places. 93 car gas is about $3.10, so at those prices,
your 40 MPG plane on an XC trip gets "25MPG" (relative) of car gas
when paying avgas pri
Thanks Oscar and Mark for inputs. A spar modification or outright replacement
with carbon fiber may be in order. I will be using a +/-7 G loading as build
criteria should I decide to build one. An airfoil replacement may be the
simplest solution. You may ask, why go through all this; speed! With

I could to that in N56ML with three fuel tanks, but never felt the need

To save on fuel prices I purchased a 50 gallon drum that I load up on my
trailer and take to the gas station. I fill the drum with 93 octain. There is
a pump that siphons the gas from the drum. I pay around $2.50 per gallon more
or less and the drum lasts a couple months. I get excited abou
IIRC, Roy Marsh's plane, the 'poster child' for the original KR-2S promo
literature, used the 23012 airfoil, which some of the Beech and Taylorcraft
aircraft have used. Per NACA airfoil nomenclature, that makes it an unreflexed
12% thickness airfoil.
I have no information on how Roy's plane p

Won't JB Weld seal a small crack in a case?
I haven't had to do it - haven't had any cracks - but JB seems to work
for everything that involves minor metal fixes?

I had my case welded inside and out when it was first discovered back in about
'08. It lasted for a couple years, but eventually mirrored back through the
welded area. I did the JB weld inside and out over and over with very short
lived success'. I actually sent a case with Roy (3100 cc needs m
Joe,
Glad to have you back among the flying again.
FWIW, JB Weld can be used to successfully fill small voids that create a leak,
but cracks in the block are usually caused by stresses to the block. JB Weld
isn't going to keep the crack from working and spreading, so, at best, is a
