This is great! Expect the EPA and the FAA to finally ban 100LL, which will be a great boon for everyone. Note, you will require an STC, but not poising yourself

This is great! Expect the EPA and the FAA to finally ban 100LL, which will be a great boon for everyone.
Note, you will require an STC, but not poising yourself with lead will probably net out the costs in the long run.
* I am a pilot of piston engines, and I really don't like 100LL being the only option
- V-eHGsd_ 4y agoul94 has been around for a year or so (I've had the stc since last december), but yeah for high compression engines, it was 100LL or nothing. I'm hoping the stc is comparably priced, $100 or so. this is really awesome. edit to add: for the non av geeks, an stc is a supplemental type certificate. it's basically an faa stamp that says, "this aircraft has been changed from when it was initially certified, but it's an approved change" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supplemental_type_certificate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supplemental_type_certificate
- sokoloff 4y agoGeorge Braly in the video interview indicated it would be similarly priced to the Petersen STC, which used to be $1/rated HP and now appears to be $2/rated HP. In short: it’s no barrier whatsoever to adoption.
- V-eHGsd_ 4y agoso a little more expensive than the swift stc but yeah still totally worth it.
