Heck, I'm way worse then Travis with my 130 Conception. I really have done nothing to it but fly it without any issues (changed plug once or twice) more than 90 hours. I guess time to check stuff out.
Even ethanol is bad for the lawn mower! I googled gas stations with no ethanol and came up with one close to the house. Then I saw a YT video on how to remove the ethanol from any gas you buy which turns out to be easy to do. I did verify it by googling it so I wasn't screwing up and it was accurate using the water method in your garage or shop! I do have a question: Why do you not use safety wire on the exhaust clamps in case one comes off and damages the exhaust? It will also show you that the bolts are coming loose with a glance and wiggle. Blue Sky's and Safe Journeys!
In the case you can't get non-ethanol gasoline, would you recommend using avgas? I don't fly yet, but have recently considered getting into the sport and have a nearby municipal airport with 100LL.
You can use an additive called "Dekalin" it removes the lead's ability to adhere as well to your piston. That's what we use when we have to use 100LL :)
WTF Travis? Is that a Nitro 200 with a Tornado air box ? ..I told you guys I want one for my Nitro the second they become available the moment I seen one. I bet that will solve the hoodie being sucked into the carb problem Ha? . BTW Love the new more professional theatrical look of your videos guess your new guy is hard at work but the comedy needs work..Hey hire a clown and no i'm not looking for work . So I hope this means lots of How to videos from engine rebuilds to hooking up your Ozone Spyder 2D steering .. Yep I just hit the notification bell..
I suppose there are those who just want to do the minimum maintenance to get by. That seems kind of stupid considering your life depends on that gear when you're in the air. Knowing the mechanics of the motor and how to care for it as well as one's harnes and frame are part of being a skilled pilot. checking over all the bolts and making sure everything is right as a preflight sure beats finding out something wasn't once you're in the air. Probably ok is not good enough. If you find something that might be an issue, don't fly uintil it's dealt with.
PM (preventative maintenance) is a no brainer. We know several Travis'. Well, the version before he got boinked. ~8^) Good stuff fellerz!
Thanks for putting this out guys. It's very much appreciated.
Thumbsed up as soon as Travis was Kapowed!
@ 6:45 that butterfly is in love with your strobe!
Thanks for posting. You should consider doing the “maintenance series” videos more often. This was extremely useful!

rolloverriderpgr luckily I live near a lake and all the gas stations near me sell ethanol free gas as it is used in boats.

“Thank you Sir, May I have another”!
Why aren’t the bolts and nuts secured with safety wire??

A lot of those bolts should be safety wired... I have no idea why they're not that way from the factory
Was that Andrew in the background?
Where’s the tornado 280?
Great Video Guys! Lol
2nd place! 👊👊👊
I've never seen a pig at high RPM.
