   hey Bob, I've got 1000hrs RV time, and you bought my 3 rotor (as a
   backup),
   let me fly it!!!!   :-)   kevin

   Its not quite complete yet Kevin, but you would be welcome to after its
   finished. And Yes Paul, I use lots of oil on my rebuild...and it smells
   great!

   Bob Mears

   What brand? :)

   I use ATF

   Bob Mears

   Can any of you oil experts out there tell me what the difference is
   between ATF
   and engine oil? Is there a synthetic version of ATF?

Mobil 1 has a synthetic ATF.

Mark S.

BTW Mark do you have, or can you borrow, a video camera?
I would love to have a video of your 3 rotor powered Lancair ES
taking off and or a high speed pass down the runway.
Are you going to make Sun N Fun this year?
Perhaps we can do something at an outlying Fl airport.
I'll be going to Wachula Bensen days a few days before
Sun n Fun. You could meet me there.
