I have been flying fixed wings since 1982. Including Micros like Mc CDL and Shadow but just bought a Windless with Aquila wing fitted with a 503 Ratex. (Agent told me to call it this)
Now I would like to make sure about the oil. What is the best brand and mix.

Hi Willie
This question has been raised very often but to recap some thoughts. Most people have personal preferences. Castrol TTS is very good for lubrication and clean burning. Downside is it absorbs moisture and costs a lot. Used to use it but changed a few years ago to Castrol Super Outboard. Has a rust inhibitor in it which in my view counts for a lot especially as we live near the coast and get the sea breeze with the south easterlies. Also good lubrication for wear.
