Lets's talk ultralights, light sport, & general aviation...

I'm running a Rotax 503 on a Challenger II light sport. If you ask 10 different "Experts" you get 10 different answers. The one particular expert that did my overhaul, when I hit the magic number of hours recommended by Rotax, recommends AMSOIL Interceptor or Havoline. Another guy has had great success running AMSOIL Saber. A local friend running the same set as I am has had no issues running penzoil outboard oil.

Where you flying that thing out of?

Do you go to any of the local fly-ins?

I don't think we can go wrong with any of the oils we use honestly.
Ours is doing fine with RP, and would as well with AMSOIL, I'm sure.

Omni airfield in port allen.
haven't been to any fly-ins in a long time.

Stop posting pictures before I get into another hobby I can't afford.

It's for sale, currently n-numbered, and affordably priced.
Most fun you can have with your clothes on...

Out with the old, in with the new....
So, we sold the King Cobra, recently, and through some finagling, picked up a new bird..

Something wicked, this way flies....
My partner picked up this sweet Aerolite 103.
This thing flies like a rocketship, compared to the Cobra.
Looking forward to racking up some time, soon.
Going to upgrade my video equipment, so hopefully some high quality videos soon.

Nice evening to get out for a little while.

That white looking tower on the right side of the river in the distance in the woods looks like it might be the tower our 2 meter HAM repeater is on. It's close to the Nuke.

Is this it?

Do you have to have a flight plan / talk to a tower, or can you just up and go?

 

[charlie12]

No that's not it. It's on the road that Hemingbough is off 61. It's on one of the old AT&T long line towers It's a red and white tower on the north side of the Nuke plant.

Why?
"Because no good aviation story started with, 'There we were, loading it up on the trailer'"

11-25-14:
Day 1, Cedar Rapids, IA.

Washburn, IA, SE of Waterloo, IA:

Burnin' daylight, time to book it to the first fuel stop, in Mexico, MO, before dark, and before the predicted snow fall:

Snow? tomorrow? Yea right... Nothing around for hundreds of miles, and no clouds anywhere...

Tucked in for the night.

11-26-14:
Day 2. Yup. They were right... It snowed...

Mexico, MO, happens to be the home of the Zenith Aircraft factory.

11-27-14:
Day 3. Time to get the show on the road... Scrape off all the ice... 1600' ceilings to the 1st fuel stop, after a delayed departure.

Melbourne, AR, 1st fuel stop of the day. Skies opened up. Severe clear, all the way home, now.

Let's take advantage of a 33kt tailwind, shall we? (from 82kts gs, on the first leg to ~115kts here on out)

Last fuel stop of the day, Oak Grove, LA:

Audubon Bridge St. Francisville

Home sweet home.

You got a set of balls on you!

I had enough courage to do that when I was 18 or 20.

I must admit, that really looks awesome!

It was so worth it.
