Just a reminder! With my adapter on the oil metering pump, you can use any
oil you feel comfortable with, and don't have to mess with mixing or worry
about oil settling in your tank. Can anyone explain to me why there is no
one using an adapter in an airplane? I am already getting inquiries for an
adapter for the RX8. What do the car people see different?

His test was 'interesting', but if Tracy, Ed, & probably others are
getting unburned 2stroke oil scavenged from the combustion chamber into
their crankcases, I gotta ask if his test has any significance in this
application.
What do you guys that are flying think?
