I have flown 3 tank fulls of 10% alcohol and Pennzoil with no noticeable change. I flew Sat. for 1 hour and 25 min. on four gallons in the Firefly. I drained the tank each time after flying and use the gas elsewhere. If you dont leave the fuel in the tank after flying and you always use NEW fuel your chances of having water in your tank and corrosion as a result are less. I always use a Mister funnel when filling and I use the higher octane gas. I dont think you will have a problem if you are careful and use fresh gas and fog the engine, after use, like the manual says From what I understand it is only the synthetics that react adversely with the alcohol. Time will tell. So it is working for me and I am a little more at ease but as always I treat it like it could quit at the worst possible time.
