I actually got out and played this morning since this weekend will probably be weathered out. I tried the mixed fuel experiment and all I can say is WOW!!! Very smooth running, and extremely cool (Temp wise). The cowling on Temptress is close fitting, closer than any of the fat fuses in vogue today, but still, after a run using the mixed fuel, the cylinder was barely warm to the touch.

It was a 60:40 mix of 87 NL Autogas and 100LL Avgas. Oil content is about 60:1 mix.

Turned the 17x12 only today. Never went to full throttle except on the ground to check it. In the air it's just too much speed and in windy weather it is probably useful. Today was maybe 5 to 10.

A bit quieter than the 18.1x10 as one would expect. You know, with this engine-pipe combination, it is hard to hear anything lower than 1/4 throttle in the air. Carb is pretty much set...my intent going forward is to use the mixed fuel. I really liked the table manners even more than usual and fuel smell (lack of) is hard to beat. Oh BTW- we fly at Solberg airport and wouldn't you know it, they are the lowest priced Avgas retailer around.....4.39$/gal
