Thanks Kelly,

The old-timers at the airport call me "the flying chainsaw".   ;-)
But that's ok.  100LL is $5.10/gal and I'm burning mogas at $3.62/gal.  While nowhere near cheap, it is $1.48/gallon less than 100LL.  I've noticed a newfound interest in the rotary engine amongst the airport bums lately.

If anyone is interested, I posted a video of my 3-rotor Lancair on Youtube.  I apologize in advance for the photography (my son-in-law took the video).  ;-)
And no, it isn't out of focus, it was 94* the day it was taken and what you're seeing is the heat coming off the runway.  Check it out at...
