Any of you guys run a Rotax 912 on 100LL? RV12 maybe or something else?

Feedbacks?

Default La Sarre (CSR8)

If you want to make a stop at La Sarre (CSR8) (Just a little north of Rouyn), I can bring you the Mogas to the airport . Also, the guys who have the Motel in town have a RV-8, so i'm sure he can give you a good rebate on a room for the night if required !

I'm hoping that in a couple years things have improved re Mogas in Canada.

We're planning a trip to Halifax, NS in August with return to Michigan via Quebec, Montreal and London.

We fly a Europa with Rotax 914 and make a lot of effort to only burn Mogas. In the US AirNav and FlyUnleaded are very helpful finding airports with Mogas. We often carry bladder bags and stop at airports near gas stations (usually found from Google Maps) and give the FBO a few $$ to use the crew car to purchase gas off the airport.

Unfortunately neither AirNav or FlyUnleaded cover Canada. FltPln.com has some airport information but I've not found much about Mogas. I've not found any website with a map showing Mogas airports.

Does anyone have any tips to help us plan?

Thanks

Jim Butcher

Jim if you are passing via Central Maine there is a great little field called Twitchell 3B5. You can taxi straight to a gas station. The hoses are too short to reach your tanks use your jar cans.

Vlad, are you sure that if you put your nose between two pumps, you couldn't get the wings close enough to fill one from each pump? Or do they just frown upon that?

Unfortunately the only airport I know with Mogas right now is Courtenay, BC, which is in the wrong direction...

They don't mind Rob. The closest set of pumps where I could fit is for diesel.
