Joey,

I won't be at St Louis but I will be at WHITTIER NARROWS in June the week after the NW Regionals. I will be bringing 2 gal's of jet fuel that has been stored in my cool basement. Glad you brought that bottle with you to the Bill Nusz contest. It seems that the propylene Oxide will escape through the bottle if stored in too high temps. This fuel needs to be used up too before it goes bad.

Hi Joey,

I plan on being there. Is Jim coming back for the contest next week?

Maybe we can get jet fuel ingredients and mix right at the contests like we did a couple of times, cause propylene oxide can outgas thru plastic bottles over time, unless the fuel is stored really cool. We had some problems running with some sealed fuel bottles last contest. What do you think?

Will, Jim will not be there. that is what newton said. if you wish to make your own jet fuel i am sure there will be nobody against that as long as it is the 80/ 20 mix. the jet fuel i keep is under constant climate control not kept in an old house trailer in the middel of the desert. that is why the last batch of fuel went bad the one bottel that i brought to the last contest was from the same batch. i will order some jet fuel in oct.

Will & Joey

At this moment I think that I probably won't be there. I was there last weekend for the Knights Joust and at the NW Regionals the prior weekend. I didn't realize that speed wasnt being flown at the Knights Joust last weekend. It was listed on their contest flyer and I thought that was to be our June speed contest. I dropped the jet fuel off with Jon Devries to give to John Newton. Hopefully the fuel will still be good.

Joey, I also gave Jon D the money from Mike Hazel to give to you for lines. Don't forget to ask him for it.

I'll miss being there. Hope to get some building time on the new F40. I'd really like to have it ready for the Nats.

Joey,

I'll bring them to the Nats, I forgot or I would have given them to Devries or Soule at the Joust. I'll put them where I won't forget them. HA HA HA. Yeah right.
