How do you handle filling your LSA with auto-gas?

Talk about airplanes! At last count, there are 39 (and growing) FAA certificated S-LSA (special light sport aircraft). These are factory-built ready to fly airplanes. If you can't afford a factory-built LSA, consider buying an E-LSA kit (experimental LSA - up to 99% complete).

And in spite of turning 65 next month, I find it trivially easy to hoist 30 lbs of MOGAS up on to the wing.

For now! :cry:

Oh, good. I'm not the Old Man on the forum. You have me beat, John (though not by much).

welcome to Medicare, young man.
Thank you.

Getting old ain't for sissies, but it sure beats the alternative!
