I am away on a Preliminary Design Review, and will return 4/3/03. Any issues that
can't wait that long should be addressed to my back-up Terry Wagstaff 342-5125.

Picked up a copy of Kitplanes magazine a few days ago and saw an
advertisement for fuel injectors by Airflow Performance Inc. Their website
says they have a kit for the Rotax 532, 582, and 912. Anybody know
anything about these guys and their product?
Being the engine idiot that I am, I was a little confused by their claims
of "all mechanical - no electrical" and "no carb heat required". I thought
that fuel injection by definition meant no carburetor and that fuel flow
was controlled electrically by various sensors and a computer chip. No?
Still dreaming of dumping the carburetors..

Airflow is just what its name says. They use a diaphragm to measure the
actual airflow into the engine and generate the deflections on the needle
valve to control fuel flow. There is no carb but there is a throttle body.
There is no need for carb heat because there is no venturi in the throttle
body to lower temps and generate ice. the whole trick to them is to set up
the diaphragm differential pressures right so the needle valve gets moved
the right amount at all engine conditions. probabably harder then seting up
a carb, but it is all done at the factory.

--> Kolb-List message posted by: Matt Dralle <dralle@matronics.com>
Dear Listers,
The time has finally arrived for the Internet Service Provider (ISP)
upgrade! You'll recall that I was looking into upgrading the existing SDSL
connection from 768k to 1.1M. As it turned out, the copper line wouldn't
support any speeds greater than the current 768k. In light of that news, I
just bit-the-bullet and ordered a full, commercial-grade T1
connection. The T1 connection will provide a full-duplex, high priority,
1.5Mb Internet connection which should be a substantial performance
enhancement for all of the List services!
Pacbell delivered the T1 Loop last week and it tested out fine. This past
weekend I pulled the tail circuit from the demark to the office. This
afternoon, Tuesday 4/1/03, the ISP is suppose come and install the new
router and bring up routing on a test subnet. Assuming that everything
checks out okay with the T1, new router, and routing, I will have them
swing the main Matronics subnet off the SDSL and onto the T1. In theory,
the swing could be nearly transparent to users, but that's usually not the
case... ;-)
Please expect a bit of instability in connectivity this afternoon as we
work though the transition issues. I will post a follow up message when
everything is up and running on the new T1 line.
Finally, please know that it is solely your Contributions that make these
kinds of List upgrades happen! There is no advertising budget (aka,
flashing banner ads and annoying pop up browser windows) to pay these
bills; operational support is solely from List members like you during the
yearly List Fund Raiser. If you would like to make your Contribution to
support the Lists and upgrades like this T1 connectivity enhancement,
please see the List Contribution Web Site where you can make your
Contribution with a Credit Card, PayPal, or Personal Check. You can even
get a free List Archive CDROM with a qualifying List Contribution! The URL

Thanks again to EVERYONE that made a generous Contribution last year and
enabled this awesome upgrade to T1 service!

I have a question, is the wing on Mark III classic the same length as a
firestar? I am looking at hauling a mark III and would like to build a crate
to put the wings in. What is the total length of one wing?
Thanks in advance.

No! :-)
All mechanical means, off an engine driven fuel pump. I guess that the
reason they say no carb heat is to tout the adventage of an an FI system.
All the Lycoming and Continental aircraft engines are 100% mechanical FI.
I don't know who these people are, so I can't vouch for their veracity. Do
they have a web site?

Look under the hood of a GA aircraft with a Lycoming fuel injected engine,
it works without a electrical system or battery. When you start adding
CDI, timing control, mixture and detonation sensors then electrics come
into play.

Gary, I am an amateur but nevertheless thought the equipment was good
quality. If Jim and Dondi sell it, it's quality. My only beef was the
length of the hoses, they weren't long enough to get the machine outside in
truly fresh air. They may have now added a large diameter fresh air supply
hose. I think its an option.
My first paint job generates lots of nice comments.

Gang,
I have agreed to buy Robert Kearbey's Mark III. I will be flying it home
on the 19th. It is a 193 mile trip. Can someone tell me what the fuel burn
per hour is for the 582? It only has the two stock tanks for a total of 10
gal. I need to plan my stops.
I can see why he was allowing the Mark III to wither on the vine, he has
a really sweet Rotoway Chopper for a new toy.

thanks
Larry

I thought it was a April Fools joke. Well it looks like the report on
Chicago Meigs field is true. Below is the AOPA link with a report. Also
Aero-News.

This is just the beginning of abuse I expected would occur with Home Land
Security. Who is watching the guards dogs. If we stand silent we condone
this type of action. Speak up now or expect to loose more freedom and
liberty. Contact the FAA, and your national representatives an express
your protest over the abuse and hold them accountable. Looks like were
going to have our own battles here at home to fight.
