    This is what both Wayne and Phil Stonebank always taught me. the temp doesn't get that high in the 2 stroke for it to be a problem over oil flow, so just keep your revs up at your cruise range if you can without exceeding VNE, and just enjoy you increased speed and let the engine enjoy its feed of oil.

    gear box oil

    ausadvance posted a topic in Drifter

    Gday guys, Well I must admit, how much of a luxury it was to have my plane in Waynes hangar is really starting to show now he has gone. With so any maintenance works that needed doing on my aircraft, I learnt to be so reliant on to putting my aircraft away, and coming back to find the magic drifter fairies had sorted everything out! So I'm now in need of a simple change of oil for my gear box, but even though I know the style of oil I need does anyone have any recommendations? what do you guys run through your aircraft? Never had to sort it out before, so now its time to learn!
