| Subject: | Re: skywriting smoke |
A number of gyro guys have done smoke systems with 503 and 582 with no
problem. The main trick it to meter the Corvus Oil so that you get just
enough to give good smoke and not too much so that it cools the exhaust.
I've got drawings of a good system back at home and will send them next week
when I get back.
You'll want to acquire Corvus Oil 13. It runs about $2.00 a gallon. It's
non-toxic and designed for use with aircraft.

On the surface that sounds a bit silly... but remember the Quickie Q200??
Landing gear was in the wingtips. A small wheel canted at the right angle
could save a lot of heartbreak on paved runways... Consider them training
wheels for crosswinds.
Won't help with my floats though :-)

It's a great place to install roller-blade wheels for those extreme
cross-wind landings, and for when you just can't seem to keep it straight.

Charles, I used to "burp" mine. First, to avoid overflow you don't want the reservoir
to be completely full. Just grab the large hose that exits the reservoir
and give it a quick squeeze. You should hear bubbles come out. Keep doing
this over and over until you no longer hear any bubbling. That should take
care of it.

Rex,
I'm hoping that since I'm starting with the IV-1200, which I think was
designed for this (or the 912) engine, I won't have the same level of
adjustment that you did with the III. I guess I'm going to find out. I
do have another lexan windshield blank lying around so if need be I
won't have to buy that. The cowling thing really does worry me though
since I am seriously inept with Fiberglas.
Bill

Bill and listers,
I made the change. The cowl had to go unfortunately.
So did my windshield and pretty much everything firwall forward. It
was well worth it all though.

Pat,
I'm pretty sure I'll have to get a mount specific to the IV but I'll
definitely keep you in mind in case I don't.
Thanks.

Bill, I have a Mod 3 912 motor mount and the firewall grommet door, if
you are interested. I don't know if the mod 3 motor mount fits the mod 4
or whether the 912 & 912s motor mounts are the same.

Looking for the plastic covers to buy does anyone have some they want to sell and
how heavy are they? I was thinking of bending some out of coil stock. Are they
better round on the front or sharp like the extruded ones?

All 582 drivers, past and present,
I'm doing my 150 hour check and the book says I should
change the needles and needle jets. Should I? Or does this date back
to the days before the needle O-rings? Do these wear out from
vibration? Anything else I should change out at 150 hours?
Thanks,

Strut fairings , airfoil shaped jury struts, Airfoil covers for Horizontal stab
support braces. I have been looking at other planes out there and am thinking
that I could clean up the hole that my plane punches in the air. So if no one
has any of the above parts to sell I will have to make my own.
I was thinking I might make some covers that that are like the ones on the 172's
where the struts attach.
