Two-stroke oil. Damn good stuff. Back in the early 90's I had an
extensively modified RX-3. It was recommended to me to disconnect the
metering pump & mix 2-stroke oil in the tank.

For a kid "on-a-mission" (I'm only 30 now) it was a worthwhile pain in
the arse. Although I soon found out if I got the mix wrong. Blue smoke
everywhere. A quick journey back to the petrol stataion to add more fuel
& thin out the mix was required.

Isn't it true that the seal technology used in the Moller "530-twin" for
example doesn't require the use of oil injection ??

No.  An antifriction coating was tested but it cracked.
