John,
Didn't see any replys to this??? But I was gone too.
First you should hook up a good meter and then see
what it reads with the alternator off, then on. Do
this to check your on-board meter to see if you
actually have a problem, or just a low meter reading.
Other than reading low volts, was there another
problem? I think I missed something. Why do you want
to charge it more slowly?

Interesting, I have the same problem, seems the alt is not powerful enough,
and it seems higher at lower rpm?
I have concidered buying an add on alternator I saw somewhere for the 582?
I have a 2003 582 with a "E" box ...

I got a call from Joel, asking about what do about getting a spinner to fit
his engine/prop/cowl combo. He has a KF with flat cowling, a 912, and a GTS
GMA (in cockpit adjustable) prop. In order to streamline his cowl, He needs
to use an 11" spinner. He has a composite 11" spinner, but the cut outs will
not fit that wide prop, and the mfgr says not to enlarge the cutouts.
I advised him to just buy a blank aluminum spinner and make the cutouts
himself. But I also said he should post the same question here to see what
others have done for a spinner with that prop. Anyone encounter the same
situation?
I don't know why his message came out to be unreadable. It looks like he
posted in some format that majordomo could not handle.

--> Kitfox-List message posted by: Michel Verheughe <michel@online.no>
Hello listers,
Next winter I plan to install a Jabiru 2200 on my model 3. I'll need a new prop
too. I see on the Norwegian microlight site that someone is selling a 65"
tapered tip WarpDrive prop with Jabiru hub. The price is cheap, about US$ 450.
Is it something I should buy? I read on the internet that a lot of WarpDrive
props have lost a blade in flight. What would you advice me to do?
Thanks in advance,
Michel

First check and see what warp recommends for the HP/RPM your engine will put
out. Second, see what your ground clearance issues are if any. Is it a two
or three blade, does it have the nickel leading edge, is it new. Lots to
consider.

I'm no expert, but slower charging is more gentle on
batteries from all I've read about it. John's method of
taking away some of the amps generated seems a workable
solution at first glance. However, I've found that often
things aren't as easy as that, so asking advice from more
experienced folks is a good idea.
There may be a charge controlling device that could be
adapted to our aircraft to provide the optimum rate of
charge. I know that such "smart" devices are available for
charging batteries from an AC outlet. If none exist for
enhancing mobile charging systems such in vehicles.
Perhaps a "techie" could convert one from components in a
home charger?

I've got an Avid MK-IV with Jabiru 2200. Before you buy warp drive which has harmonics
problem with direct drive from Jabiru - check with Sensenich Propeller
in Florida.
Talk to Don he is very helpful and I think for $200 more you can get Sensenich
prop in excellent quality that will work perfect on your Jabiru.
I'm upgrading my Avid to a Avid Plus - wider, longer and a lot of other improvements
but will use Sensenich Prop.
Check out my site www.avidflyeraircraft.com to see what I'm doing.

Michel,
I can't advise on the proper Warp prop that you might need...However, I
don't recall hearing that Warp prop's lost blades...I think I heard of IVO
prop's loosing blades. This goes way back to the PROP WAR's we had on the list.
Can't remember for sure who was loosing blades???
I went from the GSC wooden prop to the Warp and picked up a little
performance. I'm pretty happy with the Warp.

Swapped EGT sensors in the exhaust boss today and I am still getting a
high EGT reading on the front cylinder on a 582 engine with only 60hrs.
RPM EGT Front EGT Rear

Well, It's not terrible. Sounds like the carbs need a bit of balancing,
In other words the carburator slide is opening a bit wider on one than
the other so one cylinder is running a hair richer than the other.
Should be fixable with a simple adjustment of the cables to the carbs to
equalize the openings.

I did a third balance on them and they are identical.
Opening the slide on the hot one a bit more though should get things a
bit more even but what will keep the temps lower? Or are they close to
typical?
