| Subject: | Cracks in Horizontol Stabiliser |
I posted two days ago about problems with cracks in the HS on Rv's. I am
now aware of an RV6 and an RV6A that both have cracks in the corner of the
HS just inboard of the first rib. The crack is in the thin walled channel
that is on the aft side of the front spar. The common denominator is that
both planes were early QB kits.
I have attached some pictures (not very good) of one of them.

| Subject: | Ethanol experience? |
Costco recently started adding 10% ethanol to both their regular and
premium gas.
Although I have had 20 years of trouble free experience in three
airplanes with automotive gas, I'm hesitant about ethanol.
My primary concerns are vapor lock and carb ice.
Has anyone out there used ethanol "enhanced" mogas? For how long?
What problems?

Been using it in my -4 for about 5 or 6 years (I think), summer and winter.
Less fouling and easier winter starting. Runs fine. Having issues with the 19
year old tanks though.

My wife's BMW740i just got new plugs and Techron injector cleaner to
improve mileage and idle roughness. The car purred, she was happy.
Filled up at Costco (she needs Premium due to a high performance eprom
chip). Mileage dropped from 20.3 to 17.8.
Boy did she bitch. Now I can tell her see, four farmers and our
congressmen are happy you are saving the environment and spending more
on gas which jumped $0.07 since before I corrected the idle roughness.
Just can't win.

I don't know John, my cars have been running on mogas with 10% ethanol
full time for the last 10 years(required for Phoenix non-attainment
area). They get better than EPA rated gas mileage on the ethanol blend.
I've used gasahol off and on for 15 years prior to it being required.
Never had a driveability problem with it on carb or injected engines.
That includes mostly German Bosch injected engines. So I'm kind of at a
loss why you should have that result. OTOH, I've stayed with stock OEM
eproms.
