    cleaning up t-88

    So when I mix it for the plane, I wear gloves and have a paper towel handy to keep the mess contained. But today I got another shipment of t-88 from amazon... and it was a HUGE mess.

    Any other plans I should be looking at?

    Hello all, allow me to give you the 30 second intro to me: I've always loved flying. Did young eagles and I've been hooked since. Started lessons for my PPL freshman year of college when I was home for the summer. Found out I probably wasn't gonna be able to get my medical (insulin...
