    Subject: M14P and Avgas 100LL vs Mogas 98UL + lead
    Indeed that IS the problem and by consequence, some nice oldtimer planes won't fly anymore. Our authorities decided that AVGAS 100LL will be ruled out (in Europe by 2017). It's not certain yet how they'll do it in practice. Probably by starting taxation to "virtually unpayable". Then there's not enough demand anymore, so the few remaining oil refineries that still produce AVGAS 100LL will switch their production lines to other fuels. And the only factory in the world that still produces TEL, will also start making something else. Also: most military and commercial planes do not need avgas, so what is the consumption of AVGAS 100LL? Less than 2 % and declining every year. I am afraid that there 'll be not enough "economical momentum" to continue producing avgas 100LL.

    The good news is that a new General aviation fuel Will be dispatch on the GA field in the two or free next years. It's right that avgas is a low needed fuel but a great value for the petroleum firmes!!!! The bad news is that this fuel will stay very expensive:-( If you are using mogas98 without alcohol.... You have to enjoy for the last moments because this mogas will disapear In the five next years too....

    Depending on system components, aren't there other issues? I once swapped to auto fuel in my RV-3A experimental. The engine ran fine and I was saving cash until I started getting leaks. My metal tanks had been sloshed to prevent leaks; hoses, o-rings and seals were fabricated out of materials not so impervious to additives in the auto fuel. I resealed the tanks and replaced some other components, swapped back to avgas, and had no further problems. Perhaps YAK and CJ systems are impervious to auto fuel additives -- I haven't looked or asked -- but if one has added after-market items such as bladder tanks, float valves, hoses, o-rings, and seals, it would pay to be sure they are impervious auto fuel use. At least, I know I'll think of more than just engine performance and costs. Avgas might prove cheaper, at least for as long as it's available. FWIW Joe CJ6-A N420RB / GlaStar

    *Depending on when the aircraft was manufactured and/or overhauled, the interior color can be one of several. There are several shades of grey to greyish green and then from greyish green to greenish blue. * On Wed, Jun 1, 2011 at 14:05, Eric Wobschall <eric@buffaloskyline.com>wrote: > > Grey > > > On Jun 1, 2011, at 1:54 PM, Jeff Hove wrote: > > > > > Hello, > > > > What color are original Yak-52 cockpit interior side-panels?

    Subject: New Whirl Wind Aviation M-14P Composite 3-Blade Propeller -
    For Etienne from Belgium Hello Etienne, I accidentally deleted your e-mail from earlier today, so I hope you are monitoring the List... I would welcome the opportunity of meeting you and flying with in my CJ6 and the new composite Whirlwind propeller when you are in Miami next. Weekends are better but I will make arrangements to fly with you whenever you are in town. Best regards, Sam Sax Miami, FL 305.215.5599 Cell -----Original Message----- From: owner-yak-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-yak-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of cd001633 Sent: Thursday, June 02, 2011 12:42 AM Subject: RE: Yak-List: New Whirl Wind Aviation M-14P Composite 3-Blade Propeller I can't wait to get my new all composite "3 blader'" in roughly three weeks!! That would make me third man to have one and first to fly it on a CJ6!! The new all composite Whirlwind Propeller 3 blader looks awesome! Not only it looks great but as I am told, it was designed to be superior to the 3 blade wood/composite combo prop that it is replacing! I should find out real quick if this is the case right on my first flight with the new propeller - I say this so confidently simply because I have been flying behind the older Whirlwind wood/composite 3 blader for over 700 hours.! These 700 hours were spent mostly flying formation and light to moderate acrobatics. As you all know, the only substitute to power is More Power(!) I love what the M-14P engine with a two blade prop does to the CJ6 .and then you add a 3 blade Whirlwind and you have an M-14 powered CJ6 on steroids. It should be illegal to have this much fun... I am pretty sure that Pete Taylor will report similar results with this prop on his Yak-52. I guess that flying the new composite 3 blader will make me a "Second Generation Whirlwinder". By the way, I have also been very impressed with the folks at both Whirlwind Propellers in CA and at their sister company, Whirlwind Aviation in OH - their customer service is great and they design and make superior propellers in looks, quality and performance! One more (very important) thing or our U.S folks - All Whirlwind Propellers are "Born in The USA"! I think that especially in the present world situation as well as our own (U.S) economy, "Made in America" hopefully means a lot more. If you are in the market for a superb, latest technology three bladed propeller for your CJ/Yak/Pitts 12 and any other M-14P powered aircraft -consider supporting our home based company and let's keep the jobs here, at home. I trust that our good friends outside the U.S. who are considering a new 3 blades propeller will be equally impressed flight testing one - all are invited to join me for a ride in Miami...! I will report back on my actual experience after flying the new propeller for a few hours -can't wait, really! Do I 'sound' excited?? You bet I am!! That's it, I am done for tonight, off my soap box. :) Sam Sax Miami, FL 305.25.5599 cell -----Original Message----- From: owner-yak-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-yak-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of WhirlWind Sent: Tuesday, May 31, 2011 7:59 PM Subject: Yak-List: New Whirl Wind Aviation M-14P Composite 3-Blade Propeller --> <wwpc@whirlwindpropellers.com> Whirl Wind Aviation is now taking orders for the 3-Blade all composite constant speed propeller for the M-14P power aircraft.
