My experience has been it makes no difference.

Congratulations!
Keep on truckin'.

Arson arrests have been made in Oregon and Washington.
Investigations are underway. More will be revealed.

Kodak Instamatic. Pics are not as crisp as an iPhone though.

That's good . . . as most millennials don't even know how to start a mower.

"FDCT"

That's a nice installation, Shawn.

That Zlin looks awesome!

Additionally, "type of fuel" should always be printed on the fuel receipt.
This type of accident results from complacency at all levels.

I like that.

Roger Lee is definitely one of the best.

He has done 3 annual Condition Inspections for me, a 5-year Rotax rubber change, a parachute repack service and replaced the BRS rocket.

Weather permitting, I intend on using his services again.

I live in Florida. No regrets.
