Hi Troy,
You are right, the plenum does not fit in the Classic if you install the Skydrive
carb heat. Well it didn't with ours anyway.
We removed the bottom of the plenum with a hacksaw and restuck it together with
bid so that the body of the plenum was bought forward enough to leave an inch
between it and the firewall. The plenum vibrates with the engine and there are
wires etc going across the firewall so we needed a reasonable gap.
The Skydrive Carb heat is very effective and in Scotland the winter is damp (100%)and
the temperature low. So far we have not had any hint of carb icing in spite
of flying in ideal conditions for it. I am now sticking to the rule of CHT
above 85 degrees.
The other day was a good example of how I now think about Carb Icing.
I was cruising at 6000ft in these kinds of conditions and the CHT dropped to around
85 degrees. A wee bit close to the carb icing range. There were some ominous
looking mountains below which were not conducive to forced landings so I changed
the Airmaster Prop Controller to Manual and coursened the prop to make
the engine do that little bit more work in order to raise the temperature. The
CHT temps rose to 95 degrees, Oil temp 110 degrees and I felt comfortable above
the carb icing range again. IAS settled at 139kts which when corrected was
giving me a whopping 153kts at 5000rpm. It really was going that quick because
the GPS agreed. Back in the circuit having descended with the pitch set to climb/descend
I kept the cowl flaps( our own mod.) closed and the CHT never went
below 90 in spite of the decent.
What a cracking little aeroplane this is. I love it.
The joys you have in store.
Cheers

I am confused by the Mod61A instructions. If I understand it correctly,
the probe tube is meant to go through the spar, penetrating the
trailing and leading rib flanges. So, what exactly is the purpose of
the welding rod? Since this is a flexible wire, it is going to flop
around as you feed it in. Furthermore, the instruction says the wire
will put a mark into the leading edge of the rib flange. How is this
wire supposed to put a mark? Even if it did, its not going to be
visible anyway from outside the wing skin. Ami I the only one who found
this very confusing??
Thanks!

The welding wire is meant to ''find'' the position of the rib, and you
''eyeball'' down the exposed portion of the wire, as you would a snooker cue,
and
extend that line onto the upper wing skin, to the L / E.
A powerfull light shining through the hole in the spar, [ with a blanket
over your head, onto the leading edge area, as a Victorian photographer would
have done] will also find you the rib position,,, ie the Redux bond line shows
up as a dark shadow.
Cheers,
Nev.

Andrew,
The welding rod is to help you find the point on the LE to make the hole
with the template. It doesn't make a mark. To be honest it's a complete
bollock-ache way of doing it.
Much better is to use the technique already well described on this forum
using pieces of tape, a strong light, and the Mk.1 eyeball.
I'm sure you, of all people, don't need me to tell you how to search the
archives to find it! :-)

Jeremy

Richard an all,
I just posted a schematic of the Rotax regulator.
Please note that I redrew it from sketches two years old, and I'll check
with a dismantled unit, well er...later ;-)
FWIW

Hi Folks,
I finally got around to building one of those wooden blocks that can be used
to hook onto the main leg (just forward of the wheel) and using a jack raise
the wheel off the ground. Works great but I figured I would be able to spin the
wheel.
It seems the brake pad is touching the brake disc such that a force of
probably a pound or two is needed to rotate the wheel. This probably accounts for
the rather polished state of the brake disc - I just assumed this was from
normal braking.
I can pull the aircraft along with no problem. My brake handle pulls probably
an inch or so before I feel the brake pressure so would have thought the
brake 'relaxed' in off mode. Could it be some kind of lubrication is needed in
the
brake area, I think maybe gunge buildup is somehow preventing the brakes to
relax.
Anyone else had a similar problem. Solutions?
Regards,
Martin Tuck
