<<Deakin's article on "Fire breathing Dragons.....>>

Deakin has quite an over inflated ego, for no reason, and has had for the 35 years I have been associated with him at Air America and JAL.  I would take what he says with a grain of salt, as I would anyone's advice. However, I have been running extremely LOP, and with GAMI's. Have 500 hours on my first overhaul. Total 900 on airframe. Engine runs smooth down to 15 GPH at 2400rpm/29", which gives me 58% power, and 277 Kts TAS. Cabin stays at 5 psi, if I add a little warm air "pull" on the mixing valve. I also have been using Marvel Mystery Oil for the past 2 years, 4 oz's @ 10 gallons of 100LL. Have a friend who has 2 185's up in Alaska, and gets TBO on his engines with MMO, 6 oz's @ 10 gallons, and adds a pint during oil change. What do you think about adding MMO at the oil change?  Been busy as hell with DAR activity and instruction/test. Best regards,

Tony Durizzi
