RV-12 related.
Got a little miffed at some questions asked earlier.
Brief summary.
1. Yes, I have a student pilot certificate.
2. Yes I own a RV-12 and I am training in it.
3. Was asked if I was "carrying passengers" today, implication being that since I stepped on the brakes after a landing, I was PIC. Also stated that the passenger unlatched the canopy. I never stated whether I was PIC or passenger at that particular moment. Or which seat I was sitting in, left or right, not that it really matters. Technically, every time I fly, I carry a "passenger", but all of them have the potential to be "PIC", are rated in RV-12's, and I either pay them to be a passenger in my plane because they also have "CFI", or they own their own RV-12, in the hangar next to mine.
4. Anyone that wants to find out what the ethanol level is in their Mogas, I suggest you buy a little Ethanol fuel tester kit, for cheap. You add a measured amount of water to it, and a measured amount of premium mogas, shake it and wait, and you'll have your answer. Where you buy your fuel is the wrong question. I buy it in the San Fernando Valley, in Los Angeles. You won't be buying your Mogas where I buy mine when you live in the next county 60 miles away. Testing it yourself to figure out what stations carry ethanol free Premium fuel is what is important.
No hard feelings involved here.
