    It’s decent, KSAN to KSAV far as I know is the winner.

    I am not joining any club with folks from Alabama.

    E85 to my understanding starts to have issues at 40F and below.

    I bought two of these in 2019 still going strong. I notice no longer available on Amazon but brand seems to be ok. They go really fast. I got this cool scar at 09J from one!

    My understanding is ethanol starts to break down at higher altitudes due to temps and pressure. It isn’t a detonation concern just the fuel itself breaks apart.

    @Jakes Simmons I feel made the most definitive post. Fly any 4 banger (Mooney or otherwise) with a 3 bladed prop and then with a 2 bladed. You will come to the same conclusion.

    71, Moss Supercharger, good/cheap internals. Road cam (can’t remember numbers) that pulls great above 3K in 3/4 on the Highway. The real dollars are in the brakes/suspension, I eat everything running Blood Mountain.

    Supercharger 8.8:1 with 5lbs boost with cast pistons and decent but cheap internals. I have a friend that has now 10k miles on a bone stock (with we are guessing 100k miles on the motor) running 30lb turbo. He has actively been working to destroy the engine and is failing. To clarify my original post 10K and below would in my small mind work for E85. Altitude and temperature are the big challenges to 100LL. Working on limiting either or both would be a reasonable middle ground. Most don’t fly above 10K or below 0F.

    No it was in response to auto racing (follow the thread), don’t be obtuse. That being said till I am guessing about 10K you could get away with E85 in an airplane. I could probably get another 20-30HP in the MG shifting to E85 but I am lazy.

    E85 is 100-105 octane. It is moonshine gas, not an ethanol additive to mogas. If you are racing these days it is the way to go, crank that advance.

    What is the max and what does it go to when you level off and lean for cruise? Are you saying it goes to 220-230 in the climb and doesn’t reduce for cruise? Are you still running mineral oil, total hours on overhaul, how long since last oil change?
  12. M20F
    Overhauled engine or overhauled oil cooler?
  13. M20F
    All E85 all day, vroom vroom.
  14. M20F
    If you were an engine manufacturer why would you, what benefit is there? What risks do you expose yourself to?
  15. M20F
    Anyone got details on how many non-pressurized GA planes crash due to hypoxia in the low flight levels?

    This. There is an 8 page thread going on that ends up with how Bob Hoover doing rolls has something to do with landing gear. In the early part of the thread though some useful factoids on how weighing Mooney’s is tricky.
  18. M20F
    And we are off to the races!
  19. M20F
    I voted for Proppy McProp Face.
  20. M20F
    Scalping speed!
  21. M20F
    I have zero Shrike time. I have 500+ AC560 time. Wildly different airplane than a Mooney in a whole lot of ways. The wing (laminar flow) though being a huge difference.

    I carry an iPad Pro but 99.9% it is my iPhone and GTN650. I don’t need the clutter and the iPad doesn’t tell me much that in 650 doesn’t.
  23. M20F
    Solar powered no less.
  24. M20F
    I hate a headwind but made it with about 15 mins to spare. Got right in before the Cirrus Mass Arrival.
  25. M20F
    Could you send me some too, thanks.
