I enjoyed watching you at CC showing off your plane. I will be hanging my corvair on soon, so when we are both done, we can tear up some sky over Cloverdale, CA during one of the fly-in's. Congrats on the new job and keeping your baby!! I had actually thought of buying it from you at one point, but things worked out for me and I was able to buy a new FWF from a guy who went the Jabiru way! Keep us updated!

Inert is a one word description of something that is non-reactive with oxygen. . . ." Not true. INERT, to a chemist, simply means unreactive to a wide variety of substances, not simply oxygen. This is true of Viton; in my experience, it is unreactive to a wide variety of substances, certainly in a laboratory context. Personally, I should have no hesitation in using a Viton O-ring smeared with a silicone grease in the presence of fuel, both Avgas and Mogas (with or without ethanol additive). I think this is what the original question was about.

I'm very happy to see you were able to hang to your plane thru the job changes. I was sad to see your announcement of selling, but now looking forward to seeing you finish the upgrade and flying your Zodiac. Best of luck!
