Re: Question about gas

Lots of people run the Rotax engines with 100LL. I avoid it unless I'm on a long cross country. I haul 91 E free mogas to the airport, as my FBO does not allow me to store fuel in the hangar.

Re: Dual Toe brakes vs Centre brake

Tight turns are very easy in the Tsi. My last plane had castering nose wheel, and I was concerned as well. Not an issue.

Re: Fuel tank sealant

I think Midwest sky sports did a fuel tank sealant test they put on Youtube. I would check their Facebook channel to find the episode.

EDIT: Found it. https://www.facebook.com/91018607570333 ... 9242759420

Re: Beringer brakes

I'm not sure they have a part number :)

If you contact Beringer Aero in South Carolina, I believe they can tell you what parts are involved. I believe it's around $5-6k US for the brakes.
