| Subject: | Ethanol problem solver |
Here in CALIF. the law requires that all gas have ethanol. The boating group suffers
from many of the same problems that we do from ethanol and they seem to
like this additive. (VALVTECT)
http://www.valvtect.com/ethanol.asp
What are your thoughts? Are there any other additives that can be used to protect
the fuel system from the ethanol in autogas?

My concerns about ethanol are with the deterioration of my fiberglass tanks, not
the engine. Rotax says that "some" ethanol is OK. But the resin used in the
tanks can't handle it. The product that you are talking about may well help
engines that will not do well with ethanol, but it wont help my tanks.

Hi Pat-
Mine are about 600 sq inches each. I measured a Cub that turned out
to be 768 sq in for the pair, and another pair for a
Cub...Federals...that measured 1008 sq in for the pair. So mine are a
bit oversize, but work very well in 12-14" of snow. Narrow skis seem
to work better in hard snow, and wider are better for lighter snow,
it seems.

Hey Lynn and Pat this link is from a 701 builder with some home built skis
on Yahoo, and here are a couple of messages... this is what he had to say:
"hi all took some time but the new skis are installed and tested
perfectly this past weekend. performed very well on the snow which b/c
of the recent thaw surface was very dense and hard. i can pull the
plane with one finger on prop on top of this stuff. because of the
cant in the main gear the outer edge of the ski is lower then i would
like but still performed very well on the grass.all skis are 15" wide
mains are 48" long and nw is 36" top speed was down about 5mph and is
noticable less responsive to full throttle up. A mushy 4ooo rpm to
5200 in flight, the engine responds like normal but the asi is a
little slower to catch up. climbout was still impressive as ever.
total weight of all hardware is 60 lbs. so not so good for passenger
carrying but at least spent 2hours sipping around doing t & g's with
the bunch of hanger buddies only able to watch from the snowbanks.
will post some pics soon but will look like carbon copies of the ones
listed at zenith."
"just uploaded some photos. mains are 14 x 48 x 1/8 alum sheet with a
3.5" incline. 2- 1 x 2" rails on 12" centers stitch welded with a 15 "
wide sheet of 1/8 uhmw popriveted to bottoms. an bolts for mounting
hardware and clips. rest of the cable, bungii and hardware is local
building material. the nw pivot is a shouldered bushing machined to
size witha 5/16 x 2 an bolt and locknut. the "s" brace is a just in
case support. I can remove the ski without touching the nw axle. tail
wheels are hockey pucks board and oilite bushings pressed into."
