History of the BFR?

Not really. For openers, after a couple of bad experiences with
engines cutting out (we were on mogas at the time, though Cub Builders
List will fight to the death against any suggestion that fuel was the
cause)

There is no way mogas would cause such a thing. I've run over 4,500
gallons through our plane since 2002, and the previous owner ran it on
mogas
for 10 years, in Iowa winters, with no such problem.

Coldest I've flown it is at -12 degrees Fahrenheit. (Hey, there is one
good thing about reading about that stupid propaganda movie "Fahrenheit
451"
all the time -- I can once again spell "Fahrenheit" without using the
spell
checker! ;-)

The upside is the beauty of the countryside, and the chance to land at
Alton Bay, which I understand is the nation's only seaplane base that
is a recognized ice runway in the winter.

Winter does indeed have its own beauty. Flying over a winter landscape is
awe-inspiring, and seeing things like Lake Michigan frozen to the horizon,
or the mighty Mississippi frozen full-length, makes me especially
appreciate
Mr. Piper's incredibly reliable Cherokee series.

And the wonderful heater he put in them!

Mr. Cessna should have hired Mr. Piper's heater engineer.
