    That is absolutely correct. Jan From: owner-yak-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-yak-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Joseph Colquitt Sent: donderdag 2 juni 2011 6:05 Subject: Re: Yak-List: M14P and Avgas 100LL vs Mogas 98UL + lead 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

    Very true Bear, but add on exhaust, gill shutters (maybe), prop, engine mount and misc electrics............and yes I do have an M-14 sitting as a spare! Anyone got any gill shutters? Also, Housai logs from China, real deal, I'd be skeptical. Just me. -------- Keith McKinley 700HS KFIT Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=341978#341978

    Oh trust me, I know the cost to upgrade to the M14P. :-) However, if the delta is really only Exhaust (1.8-2k), Gill shutters (1.2-1.5k), Prop (4k-15k), and some misc. then the upgrade becomes "more" reasonable. If the delta includes 10k for the engine and the rest, then it is "less" reasonable. :-) No offense to anyone on the list. I can see a Housai (new) being 18k, or 1st OH being 12-14k. But if I'm paying over 20k I'd go with the M14P. MNSHO (my not so humble opinion) Still very glad I upgraded, and feel that way every flight.

    If I could get a new Housai tomorrow for 18K I'd cash in my 401K and buy as many as I could!! I think the bigger issue is (and part of the reason I got mine) is the fact that there is a least one company and maybe two that are in place to do a full overhaul of the M-14 here in the US.
