    Subject: G100UL
    Having just watched the AOPA webinar on the implementation of making this fuel available, the one area not addressed is whether amateur built experimental aircraft would need to do any paperwork to use the fuel. Type certificated aircraft will require an STC, just like they do for using mogas. Seems to me that we could just change our fuel placards to read G100UL or 100LL required, and start using it. Would be interesting to get EAA's opinion on this from one of their legal and technical experts. If we don't need anything, it would reduce GAMI's potential income a bit, although they still will get licensing/patent fees anyway. There is no question in my mind that any IO-540 that is currently installed in a -10 and runs satisfactorily on 100LL will be fine on G100UL. Especially since the stock engine was originally certified on 91/96 Avgas. Kelly

No STC is required for a homebuilt. I've run 100LL, 93 E-free mogas, and 93 E-gas in homebuilts, and I know of quite a few others who run all variations too, down to 87 E-gas (in Mazda rotaries). I'm not saying it's smart to run 87 in a 10-1 compression angle valve engine; just that it isn't illegal. It should be relatively easy to get EAA's opinion; just ask.

    I agree with you, although I have heard of FBOs that won't pump into a tank that doesn't have a placard allowing a specific grade of fuel..easy to fix with label maker. I would especially look forward to less maintenance in terms of fouled plugs, oil change intervals, etc. Kelly On 9/17/2021 8:08 AM, Charlie England wrote: >> > I've never heard of any rule preventing homebuilts from running any fuel > they want.

    Just read the article in AOPA magazine. It states that the stc funds the development. About 1.50=24/hp i think. So a one time fee of 400-600=24 ge ts u a sticker. Not sure how expermental fits in Dave Sent with a=C2-Spark On Sep 17, 2021, 11:07 -0400, Charlie England <ceengland7=40gmail.com>, w rote: > On 9/17/2021 9:17 AM, Kelly McMullen wrote: > > Having just watched the AOPA webinar on the implementation of making this fuel available, the one area not addressed is whether amateur built experimental aircraft would need to do any paperwork to use the fuel.

    Subject: Strobe Power Supply Replacement
    I have a Strobes N More Pro 606 power supply driving my strobe lights and it has been working great, but the power supply connector has become loose after 16 years and is intermittent. I'm not sure I can repair it so am looking for an alternative and it appears the model I have is no longer produced. I saw another by Preco that looks EXTREMELY similar to what I have, right down to the caution verbiage. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with these or other recommendations? Thanks, Marcus
