Brother Pike:
The solution to your problem is to get an opaque hose. Use the new style
coated fabric wrapped hose from Rotax which is far superior to the older
style woven hose. I think the only bubbles that matter are the ones on the
upstream side of the pump. There is a procedure for bleeding the pump in the
repair manual.

Morning Ron/Gang:
Thanks for the lunch invite. Hope I don't get
that far south on my way out though. Plan on
coming back through FHU on the way home.
Weather does not look good from here to
Albuquerque today or tomorrow. I am hoping to get
out today, but don't want to get caught up in this
adverse weather.
I really do not have many options to circumvent to
the south or north. Will play it cool for a while
and see what happens. I have to wait out one
system of thunderstorms to come through before I
can get out of my airstrip.
Trying to wait patiently,
john h

The Aero Vee looks like a good engine but is a direct drive engine and at
almost $5000.00 for a kit seems kind of high priced for a VW. If need a
engine package Great Plains Aircraft sells the same basic engine but will
configure it with a reduction drive like mine for less. You could also build
it your self or have a dune buggy builder make the engine (like I did) and
buy the aircraft parts form Great Plains. Trust me you will not be happy
with any direct drive VW engine on a MKIII. Someone said it would be too
heavy...., My VW is only 10-15 lbs more than a Rotax 912. The Aero Vee does
have a great carburetor but they sell them separately. If I were to build
another I would likely use fuel injection like a CB single throttle body
injection unit. There is a lot of interest in VWs for airplanes these days
because you just can't get more engine for the dollar. And the reduction
drive VW engine will perform just as good as a Rotax 912 at lower RPMs at
half the price.

Boyd, You are correct, however it will be a while longer before you can lay
hands on one. The Joint venture by Honda motors and Teledyne Continental
revolves around a 4 cylinder opposed , dual overhead camshaft, electronicly
fuel injected aircraft engine of the 150 hp class specifically designed for
the military UAV (drone) contracts that are being prolifically offered
currently. These contracts offer a significantly larger volume initally than
the entire light plane market does and have attracted the attention of many
engine manufacturers.
Also of interest is that the "other than USA" world market for an aircraft
engine of this category will likely be addressed first as the inherent cost
of FAA approval in the USA vs cost recovery time period at current market
volume levels is unattractive.
I would bet a buck, that if the military contracts are lost to another
competitor....that project will vanish unless SEVERAL major OEMS outside the
USA express interest for substantial volume!

I tried to send some wing ribs to Lar once. It was going to cost $25 for
shipping and $90 for special handling as it was longer than a normal box.
Old Lar could not afford my offer of free ribs.
PS... Hey Lar I have a couple ideas for Vamouse but untill I get the
scanner and printer working I can't get them back to you. I didn't forget ya.

I am not just a rude and crude builder , I am also cheap. I moved
the whole engine back 2 inches. This saved me a couple hundred for the
prop spacer and did not affect the cg much. Thats what I did anyway.
