| Subject: | Re: Rotax 582 oil leak |
Thanks Jim, right on both points. I was running a bit rich for break. I tightened
the exhaust manifold bolts. They were surprisingly loose. I degreased
the engine and ran it up for 1/2 hour at 5000 rpm. No leak.
Cheers

Ed,
The step needs to be 4" to 6" (and some float manufactures even call for 8") behind
the most rearward CG you will be flying at. I use the rear CG limit of the
aircraft so I will be covered no matter what. If you set it under the empty
CG you will find yourself having a hard time getting it on step at gross weight
or if you have something loaded in the baggage area. Been there, done that
and have a couple tee shirts..

I never bothered with that. I tried it on my old prop and found that the washers
will eat away at the threads on the shaft and you wont be able to get full
pitch range. I just set mine up with a teflon washer on each side so it wont
bottom out and stick. I set the max RPM on the ground runup then bump it here
and there in the air or on roll out to keep the RPM and EGTS right where I want
them.

I too thank you for that POH. I pick up my kit August 13 and will begin work.
This gives me some insight into speeds.
