| Subject: | Re: Any Arctic Sparrow users out there? |
Here are a couple articles that explain the Arctic Sparrow needle adjustments very
well. I use mine to adjust the needle richer in winter and leaner in summer.
I can tell when its time to do so by an increase in EGTs (too lean) or a
miss in the engine (too rich) below 5800 rpm.
The sparrow needle adjustment affects the mid range circuit. You should be able
to lean out your idle circuit by turning the idle air screws on the carbs counter
clockwise.
You cannot just change the needles as they have been modified and the system and
parts seem to have disappeared from the sources. Does anyone know a current
source?

After you read these articles you should have your answer.

Too true, but that's all I can get out of it.
I've thought of doing some needle mods to get
more; theoretically you should be able to dump
all float pressure and drop fuel flow to zero.
>Are you disparaging the use of this kind of setup? Is it a good one or not?
Heck no, I love it. I'll take any EGT I can get
and have found it to be very useful over the past 2+ years.

That is great to hear that you like this setup. I can't wait to start using it.
Just out of curiosity, anyone know why this reply was labeled !!SPAM?

Yes, either the MTA at his ISP or his local processing flagged the mail as spam
by
adding "[!! SPAM]" in the subject line. Something in the e-mail triggered his Bayesian
filter to assume it was spam so it could be then sent to his spam folder.

Probably because Guy views the posts via email instead of via the online forums
and his spam filter has tagged the header of the email as Spam. This is also
why this reply to the original post has been added to the list as a separate thread
instead being attached to the original thread.

[quote="Tom Jones"]Michel, do you have the skis on now? Here's what our Kittitas

That looks like just east of Ellensburg. Where do you keep your plane?

That's something you do yourself. Look at the link at the end of every e-mail posted.

Paul, the picture in my first post is looking west from just west of the Yakima
River near the west interchange on I90. The paved road in the lower right hand
corner of that picture is the South Thorp Highway.
I keep my Kitfox at home and trailer it to the Ellensburg Airport to fly. I should
get to be friends with some of the hay ranchers and maybe use their fields
to take off and land. There is a 160 acres of Timothy across the road from
my house.
Here's a picture of the Yakima River and one of an old ranch house and barn up
river a little. I like being able to get a "Bird's eye view of things". A kitfox
is really good for this type of flying.

There is no need to remove yourself from the list, just change your settings for
web based only. That way you don't get any emails at all, and you can use the
forum from the web anytime you want.

Here is a video from flying last month. The quality of the video is good, but
it will be horrible unless you go to to the you tube page, and click the blue
" Watch In High Quality " at the bottom right of the video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SrTr51BBTk
The plane is not a Kitfox, but its the same type of flight anyone would do in a
Kitfox or any other experimental plane, its all good !!
