I used to fly a Rotax 337 or 447 cant recall or what fuel we used. If the current Rotax can use normal 100 ll that should take care of most planes. Its a side issue but T-6s are certified for 80 octane regular avgas, so I assume they could use 94 octane, also. Im not sure you could talk an T-6 owner into using a alternate fuel, bit if so they do use a lot of it, maybe 25to 30 gph in cruise.
I would like to invite those wanting UL Swift fuel to fly out of the light sport field and join the down on the farm fun. The T-6 does not fit in very well but most others would do well. Even the T-6 could operate out of the strip if exceptions were made to accommodate the pattern speeds.

The farm does not have the long lines and swarm arrivals of the main show runways. It is a well kept secret. Would AirVenture officials please comment?
