878lbs (or 397.5kg in my preferred units) with spats, cushions and everything else
actually used for flight.
XS Trigear (and built as such) with 912S and Airmaster CS prop.

868 lbs. Mine started out as a Classic mono with 912 80 hp and fixed Warp Drive
prop. Over the years it has evolved firstly to Airmaster VP, then 912S in Classic
cowls, then tri-gear, and recently to Nev Eyre cowls and engine bearer with
XS style duct and radiator, but retaining the Classic oil cooler.
So effectively mine is now a tri-gear XS with Airmaster prop and no spats, pants
or speed kit; just bare legs and hinges. Therefore my 868 lbs makes sense compared
with Rick Moss' 878 lbs.

I recall that there was some discussion a while ago about exhaust springs. I have
just replaced my silencer but the springs seem rather loose. In fact some of
them are just rattling about and not in tension at all once installed. I also
have evidence of exhaust gas blowing on one of my carb bowls. Do they loose
their spring over time? Been 10 years since they were installed new / 750 hrs.

837lbs Mono, XS, 914, woodcomp SR 3000W, speed kit, autopilot & v full
panel, gelcoat finish. Includes 3 lbs lead in tail to give ideal COG.
That is a good weight in the sense that I can have full fuel, lots of
luggage and two pax of my size (6- 2" & 82 kg) How to achieve it? Think
light from the start. Don't add anything you do not really need and
always think is there a lighter way of doing this. Use correct,
relatively dry mix for lay ups & always use peel ply. Forget steam age
instrumentation. Do not fit heavy leather fixed upholstery. Cushions are
much lighter and more flexible. Do not use the sort of paint scheme that
needs 5 undercoats, a UV coat or two and several overcoats. Don't paint
close outs and other areas that are not visible or exposed to sunlight.
Gel coat is UV opaque and needs just the single coat, most of which you
wet & dry off! David Joyce, GXSDJ

| Subject: | Re: Exhaust springs |
I had a problem with exhaust spring breaking. The originals were easy to fit but
started breaking.
The replacements i received were 90mm springs which needed far too much tension
to install.
When i questioned this with CKT?
It seems they changed something and my installation requires 95mm springs which
they provide.
Perhaps doesn't help you but shows that you need springs that fit your installation.

| Subject: | C04 water pipe query |
Ive just done a trial fit of the C04 water hose that goes from the header on top
of the Rotax 912S down to the port side of the radiator and it seems a very
tight fit between the footwell and the engine mount. Im concerned that it will
be chafing and get damaged enough to spring a leak quite quickly. Has anyone
else had this problem and if so what did they do about it?
