Guys, thanks for your reply. I'll be visiting Wilksch end of this month and will ask them about their oil recommendation. And also if they are willing to run it with D1, thing is that D1 si rather difficult to get here in Europe. John

That indeed is true, colder air is more dense and as such the aircraft reaches its liftoff speed (which is ground speed) sooner and uses less runway, the indicated airspeed will remain the same in both situations. The engines will also produce more power as at each intake stroke there will be...
