WE NEED YOUR HELP:

Butler County Warbirds counts on the support of its friends and members.  Donations can take the form of monetary donations, volunteer work or various supplies and materials.

The following is a list of items that we are always looking for. If you are interested in making a contribution, please contact the us at (513)702-3062 or E-Mail: tim@eplusservices.com

FUNDING:

• Aviation fuel -
  100 Octane Low lead Aviation fuel is priced about $5.00 per gallon. Our PT-19 burns about 10 Gallons per hour and the Stearman about 14 Gallons per hour.
• Aviation Oil -
  Even though it is an "IN-LINE" engine, PT's Utilize a "DRY SUMP" oil system and have a 4.1 gallon oil tank, and it will spray oil in the same way as a radial engine does when it runs. We lose about 1 - 1 1/2 Qts. of oil per hour flown, The Stearman is EVEN WORSE! Aviation oil runs between $4 - $5 per quart.
• Ranger Engine Re-build -
  Ranger 440 Engines have a approximate life of 900 - 1000 hours.(TBO or Time Before Overhaul) But, the average seems to be somewhat lower, about 600 Hours. An OVERHAUL will cost BCW about $12,000.00, or about $20 per engine hour.
