Default RE: First Gasser!!

ORIGINAL: MinnFlyer

I love flying gassers, but they have a world of problems of their own. The two that bug me are

1, Size. Sure they look and fly great, but hauling those things around can give you a hernia!
2, Smell. Every time you take one somewhere (Unless you have a trailer) your car smells like gasoline for a week.
1. Don't do overweight warbirds. (Flame suit on) So, can't you park a large van? My son says I drive a adult daycare bus. I agree that the storage and transport is a real issue, but I deal with it as it is worth it.
2. Use AVGAS. I get mine at the local airport. Sure it is more expensive than the regular, but at least your gasser does not smell like yardwork.

Safe Flying!
