    Buying 100LL

    We're running 110 in our bigger 10:1 engine now and liking it.

    Buying 100LL

    This will be a 10:1 mechanical ratio. Probably a little over 200# compression at cranking pressure if a stock cam was used, but I'll probably have a hair more duration and lift built in than stock. I know that's a little vague on details, but I'll know more as it comes together.

    Buying 100LL

    Oh probably 10:1 min 10.5:1 max.

    Buying 100LL

    Thanks guys! I looked at my local small town airport and I can buy it at the pump with a credit card 24-7 for $5.25/gal. I was bouncing around ideas of 100LL or E85 in a smaller 10:1 engine. My impression so far was E85 is a little less octane (R+M/2) and cheaper but a little more...

    Buying 100LL

    I looked up 100LL and it showed 100.5 MON, 103.2 RON, and 101.5 AKI (R+M/2). I also learned that it is very good when MON & RON are close together.

    Buying 100LL

    How difficult is it to buy 100LL aviation fuel? I assume you just don't wheel into an airport, swipe your card, and fill a gas can. Anyone with their own small planes (or pulling tractors) buy it for non-commercial use?

    This is John Galt speaking. April 15 is almost here. Soon everyone will have the opportunity to meet John Galt. Until then, it'll be a secret.

    NATPA Missouri Pull News?

    Wouldn't that depend on what we are using the alcoholic beverages for?

    NATPA Missouri Pull News?

    Then I guess "mums" the word on how many hooks NATPA will get from me and my pals too.

    NATPA Missouri Pull News?

    Secret eh? Strong enough for a man, made for a woman? It could be NATPA"s new motto.

    NATPA Missouri Pull News?

    It's been pretty silent on YT? How did things turn out in Missouri? Any rule changes? Big winners? Etc?

    16.9 X 34 TIRES

    There wa a guy in PA that had 50% tread Firestone field & Road to sell. I'll see if I can find his number. He was interested in some stuff I had and mentioned the pair.

    Division 4/5 brain fodder

    Yep, that would be interesting. I'm not up on all the safety stuff. Some places must have it figured out. Some tractors scare me. Kinda enjoy some of those Super Farm type classes. I do think moderate performance turbo diesels can be built cheaper than open class antique strokers.

    NATPA: Outsider Looking In

    To validate your argument, I must accept your premise that: 1. The suggestions I listed do away with base standards. 2. Removing the top from tire tread is equivalent of installing a physically larger engine. 3. I have disrespect for NATPA officials and current rules. 4. Listing ideas is...
