That's true...I've put in new bearings on Friday evening...fly on
Saturday..locked up with rust on Sunday morning.

Del,
My experience is that frequency of flying and/or weather will 
not affect bearing life. I have maybe 600 flts on one of my 91FXs. It
has set on the shelf for several different periods and still feels very
nice.                        Nat

Nat..
    Do you feel that flying infrequently & in high humidity areas that
will still apply?

Fuel selection is not the cause of bearing failure in the two 
strokes. Apparently it is due to the products of combustion.
If you will run sealed, stainless rear bearings your problems wil be
over. Do not run dry, do not run afterrun oil. Do not 
remove any seals. Provide adequate crankcase and head
cooling.                    Nat Penton
