Be careful about the mogas. In many parts of the U.S. (maybe you're not
in the U.S.) mogas is prohibited by the FAA because of additives. -Robert |

" mogas is prohibited by the FAA because of additives."
Aside from ethanol, (whic is usually from a labeled pump, and the presence of which is easily verified), what are the prohibited additives? |

": Aside from ethanol, (whic is usually from a labeled pump, and the
: presence of which is easily verified), " You can just read the pump, but I'm not understanding your point. For those of us living in areas of the country that require ethanol be added to all automotive fuel, mogas is not an option. If the original poster is in that situation, the ability to run mogas is of no value. -Robert |

Yes, it does, but it doesn't indicate that the fellow thought this made it a good aircraft. Just a cheap one.
