facthunter Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Think we are talking of two different situations. The 540 IS direct drive and a bit lumpy to pull over compared with a radial which I was relating to. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Isaac Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 The engine is interestingly the Lycoming IO-540-K1J5 delivering 300 HP with Alcohol. How would you like to fly an aircraft with a fuel tank full of Metho ... LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

facthunter Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Take it up high and you can have a "cold" one when you get down. It's actually "etho". When it is burning you can't see the flames. One extra hazard. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Koreelah Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Take it up high and you can have a "cold" one when you get down. It's actually "etho". When it is burning you can't see the flames. One extra hazard. Nev At last someone has noticed the fuel. All those concerns about a little bit of ethanol disappear when we go all the way...or is that a lesson in life?
