RE: Discoloration of Fuel.
Hello Guys!!!
Went to the flying field around 3PM as unfortunately at my flying field, not so many guys fly, we do have more than 50 members which for my area is a lot or close to 100 but mostly 5 or 6 guys are at the field, that's a good number of people otherwise usually 3 or max 4. I flew it with my new fuel, totally forgot to use the old fuel, and idle was not set, had an experienced flyer to fix it, he fixed the idle, and it ran pretty good, some how one time up in the air, it tried to kinda bog down, I pull back the throttle, then push it up full throttle, it did not stall. Anyway, temperature was like 70+, wind was like 7 to 10 miles.
Wind made the airframe shaky lil bit up in the air, but it flew good. As it was over-cast, and at 5PM after 3 flights, I called it a day. Well, I'm looking for a perfect sunny day, next week hopefully, and I'm gonna try my old fuel, and see how it behaves.
One more thing I noticed, the fuel gets on the muffler, firewall, lug and surrounding area, muffler is not leaked is it normal? Or it should not happen?
