I am using an old Second Chantz softpack chute and I was able to use an
aluminum gapseal by making a hinged door where the chute needs to come out.
The door is as wide as the chute, has a piano hinge at the front, and is
retained across the back and sides just tight enough to hold it in place in
flight, but it will pop open if the chute is fired. If there is any
interest, I can add some pictures & details to my web page.

| Subject: | Update on "Miss B" Mark III - cracked starter cover |
--> Kolb-List message posted by: "Bob, Kathleen, & Kory Brocious" <bbrocious@hotmail.com>
Folks,
While doing my preflight I noticed a very significant crack in an old weld in the
aluminum housing that holds the starter gear. I also found a hairline crack
on the starter cover plate. I'm checking with the first builder for an explanation
of the original weld. When I removed the starter cover plate the piece originally
welded fell off in my hand. It appears that the weld had a lot of air
in it as there were lots of pock marks that seemed to indicate a poor weld.
My plan is to remove the engine and take it to a Rotax Repair Shop a couple hours
south in Springfield, Kentucky for thediagnosis and repairs. I think part of
the problem was caused by an over tightened starter cover plate. The bad weld
didn't help either.
This engine was already mated to this frame when I bought it. I've never disconnected
an engine and removed it before. I estimate the weight of the engine to
be about 105 lbs. Does that sound about right? Any do's or don'ts about disconnecting
everything and pulling the engine off?
And it was SUCH a pretty day too.

Take the carbs off first, otherwise the temptation to use them to help lift
the engine off is overwhelming, and if they pop out, you could drop
everything, not to mention messing up the rubber ridge in the carb sockets.
Leave the exhaust manifold on, it makes a good handle.

Bob,
Is the engine case broken or is it just the starter housing and the cover
plate? If it is a mag-end starter on a 582 there are o-rings that are used in
the mounting of the starter to the cover. The instructions caution not to mount
the starter solid to the cover or it will break. If this is the setup you
have and need the documentation for it let me know and I will copy and send it
to you.

when I was flying cyunas I always had to goose the throttle and cut back to
keep engine from loading up I would do it 3 or 4 times on final Or just cut
the throttle back to get a good glide path to the run way. I had a ultrastar
and a eagle XL both cyunas would load up on a long final if you just let it
idle all the way down to touch down I never could fix it I sold the eagle
and put a Subaru on the ultrastar That is the late ultrastar-----

P S that engine will get your ultrastar someday, you can count on it
