Thanks to you guys who asnwered my synthetic oil questions,I have found that using fully synthetic oil in my VW and using 100LL is not a good mix,my oil temp went from 180 to 250 and oil pressure went from 60 to 20, this is due to the lead in the fuel according to tech support so you guys were right on with your opinions,anyway back to using standard oil and all temps and pressures are back in the norm.

 Note: an old A.P. likes using a qrt of marvel mystery oil at every oil change to acheive the same thing synthetics does,so I have tried this and flown off 2 more hrs and all is well....

Mark,

The "opinions" are not opinions, but the comments resulting from the 

Rotax testing. Real world.

Hi Ron,I believe my prop is a 60x32 but I will double check this for you

today and reconfirm.I am using a Prince P Tip prop and have had good

performance however I would like to get my rpm up higher and therefore wish

I had of gone with a 30 pitch instead of 32.I am running direct drive off

the crank and have good climb and good cruise,.....climb:..100lb over gross

and getting 650 ft per min,cruise:..95-100 mph.I hope this helps,I will

email you back after I double check my prop size..



 See ya Mark N61AC
