Could anyone tell me what German word is written on the red triangle decal on the port side nose of the G2?  Have been looking around the interwebs and couldn't find an answer...thanks!!

Hi!

if I have correctely understood the Triangle is not red but yellow with a black outline with a black number inside

The number is the octane number fuel

Thanks very much for the help, Gentlemen!  That solves my little Scooby Doo mystery for the day...

Just for the sake of completeness, Rotring was a brand of oil to be used when servicing the 109. An annular oil tank was right behind the propeller hub. The triangle was next to the oil filler port for this tank.
