Man i feel like back in the 10th grade with all them physics formulas, anyways; since i dont remember jack about physics nor want to remember, whatever happens to ballons will happen to tires, in the cold they deflate and in the hot they inflate is that a good thing or bad? dunno if its helim or nitrogen that is used on party ballons, frankly i dont care but i think tires will run the same luck!

I don't mean in passenger planes, in general aviation planes. A Cessna 183 has 230 HP. Our engine is smaller, lighter and more efficient and puts out 240 HP.

VW engines are very commonly used in experimental aircraft, as are Subaru engines. I have never heard of anyone using a Honda though.

I use a mixture in my tires:
78% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen, 0.9% Argon, 0.03% Carbon Dioxide
