| Subject: | Prop strike...... GSC |
--> Kitfox-List message posted by: "Allan Aaron" <aaaron@tvp.com.au>
Oh, if any one is interested, I also have a GSC 3blade prop and spinner that has
never flown. I changed to a Jabiru from a 532 and it is surplus. I have not
checked what they are worth - make an offer if interested.
Allan

Sid, What do you want for the GSC prop? is it a narrow tip ?
I would like an extra but would certainly let Don have it first to keep
him going.
I run a GSC now on 582 and it has Stellar performance it seems.

Don as warp advertises you can repair small damages until you get a new
blade. I would v it out to get to the bottom of it then call a freind to
epoxy it back. Idle to the flyin while the new blade is on order. Of course
I've been told about my double D's. All right everyone pile on me but that's
my story and... Ron NB Or
Thanks, As I said earlier, this crack is a result of their repair which I
paid for. I would rather not touch it and let them do the repair again. Not
a problem with waiting.

Maybe I did'nt ask for the information I'm looking for correctly. With
your aircraft setting stright and level where is the center of your prop
hub from the floor with say a 912, 0-200, 0-235, or Subaru engine. I'm
building an engine mount and I'm looking for information on how high to
mount the engine. TIA Norm

There is an article in the latest Kitplanes that mentions wheel alignment.
Parallel tracking to slight toe out is the word.

Norm I had the same question when I built my mount. I did not find the
answer so I mounted an existing cowl and built a jig on top of wing
attatchments to index the centerline. Hope It works or I'll be doing it
again. Ron

Norm,
I built a mount for my S-6 to fit a conical mount Lycoming. Skystar
gave me a measurement of 15 & 1/2" above the center of the lower airframe
mounting hole. That is what I used. Seems correct.

Now that engine swap is done it's time to try to eliminate the exhaust
fumes that plague my cockpit.
First, I don't understand if some leakage from the exhaust connections
is even normal. This year during assembly the mechanics recomended
putting anti sieze on couplers to aid in both rust prevention and as a
sealant. Are there any other secrets and is it even normal.
Next, I'm going to put a light at night in engine compartment to locate
any other holes i may have missed but is venting from engine compartment
or on the sides ever a consideration to allow some of that forced air
somewhere else to exit?
I'm at a loss here?

I have found that if your exhaust pipe is cut too short you can get
fumes especially on climb out, but you can usually see exhaust soot on
the plane if that is happening. The ball joints seems to have some
leakage signs on the pipe, but you should no be able to detect any with
smell or with a detector. If you post a picture of your system someone
might see something that will help you out. Exhaust fumes are nothing to
mess with.

The info I have is thrust line between 15.2 and 17.5" from the bottom of the
fuse at fire wall position. Plus allow for 'p' factor and offset. So start
from the prop flange position and work backwards to get the position of the
engine. ~j~
