I keep the tanks filled with 100LL, instead of 91 no ethanol unleaded, as the octane level will degrade less over time than the Mo gas. I keep it hooked up to a battery tender, which, because I’m in a hanger can toggle...

Re: Instructing in unfamiliar LSA
The Sling 2 is far better, IMO than the last 2 aircraft on your list. Support has been excellent, not that I’ve needed anything, in the past 5 years.

I’d bet, with new battery installed, your transponder will be good to go on the next flight. Keep us updated.
