    Nothing to do with why the Lismore prang might have happened however after reading your message Ballpoint and recalling my BFR a few months ago, I can certainly understand how an instructor may not have time to intervene if things ever go pear shaped during a conversion or BFR. My CFI always rested his feet on the pedals while we were training. When I did my BFR I mentioned that I found the feel of the rudder with his feet on the pedals distracting as the aeroplane felt 'wrong'. He accommodated by removing his feet and upon reflection, his safety net if I'd decided to try something on.

    "Help me! help me!!" shrieked the young woman on the third floor balcony. "Help me! I'm up here!!" she screamed out into the night. Her room was rapidly filling with smoke and becoming unbearable when she heard the sharp clack of a ladder onto the balcony handrail. "Oh thank god" she gasped to the dashing figure climbing the ladder. "I thought I was going to die." "You'll be all right luv, we're highly experienced with this sort of thing." reassured her gallant saviour "You're the third pregnant woman I've rescued this week." "But I'm not pregnant?!" she exclaimed. "Yep..... and you're not rescued yet either."

"They're leadium carbon diamonds anae get them from me wee rotorax when I run it on avgas for more 33% of the time." he explained. "The high temperatures and pressures of the wee austrian screamer turn all the sludge and crud into theses precious things". Rat thought long and hard (well, sorta hard ) at this revellation.... maybe, just maybe, that trip around the nation could be done after all but perhaps he was just thinking of another austrian screamer that he'd met while.....

    I chose to stick with mogas as the engine was primarily designed for it is all. As I'm a 100nm day trip woosey, I load up with enough 98PULP for the return trip plus a large fudge factor (i.e. full tanks) so really can't help with what mogas availability is like at other locations. I've always been under the impression that the Rotax 912 series will run quite happily on Avgas provided you use a suitable oil and follow a more frequent maintenance schedule. I'll try to dredge up some older fluids specs. to see when, or if, Rotax had a change of heart. P.S. Probably shouldn't do this but... (can I get double banned?! ) Big ups Yarrawonga Flight Training for stocking the new you beaut aeroshell oil at a reasonable price. VSX4 is as rare as rockinghorse piddle these days....
