Be sure to squeeze about 1/3 of the air out of your mixing jug if you put the cap on tight. Then watch it as you climb out. Once it looks normal again note the altitude. Same as a Thermos bottle full of coffee. Loosen the lid before climb out. Those things can make for quite a surprise when opened up high. Takes your mind right off of what you were doing. And after that, you can get that leather head liner you wanted.

Lynn, 

I had considered carrying a 2-3 gallon plastic jug to premix the fuel better than just dumping it into the wing.  I guess it is warranted, but I don't really like the idea of carrying a gas can in the cargo area.  However, it seems a reasonable solution.  

I'm trying to figure out which OMP adapter to use on my 20B.  It appears to be the same as the 13b electric as shown on the RWS web site.  I like the idea of depositing 2-stroke oil right in the middle of the apex seal as this is a p-port intake/exhaust engine.  I still plan to add 2-stroke to the fuel, just not as much as before, maybe 1/2 oz/gallon.
