Ice pilots in a Kitfox

Ice pilots must take pop tarts to the North.
Checking plane over and fueling it up the Kitfox ( C -47 in Derek's mind - he a Ice pilot die hard )

Ethanol gas into the tanks and off we go.

Do not have to preheat at -20 C to start a Rotax but it does make it easier. The gear box lube is thick and makes fora lot of work to spin it over.

It really sucks that we can't get that show "Ice Pilots" in the US.

See!! Stone cold tranny is a problem and a real load to turn over.

Hey guys, you can neutralize that corn in the gas sh*t

with 2 OZ of Acetone @ 10 gallon of fuel.
