| Subject: | Mark III seatbelts |
--> Kolb-List message posted by: "Bob, Kathleen, & Kory Brocious" <bbrocious@hotmail.com>
Kolbers,
I'm not crazy about my 3 point seatbelts. They don't hold me at my hips
where I prefer but are closer to my belly button. The discomfort comes with
any turbulance because I come up off my seat. I've got quite a few hours in
sailplanes so I don't mind the turbulance as long as I can stay in my seat.
My 12 year old co-pilot-son, Kory, has been spared the experience of
turbulance for just the same reason. We wait till the evening when things
are nice and calm. The attach points seem to be part of the problem because
I currently use the large tube behind the seats. I want my son to feel
secure before I introduce him to mid day flying.
Any one have a suggestion or two?

Try attaching the outboard belt to a gear leg, and the inboard belt to the
small diagonal tube that ties to the boom tube, and then run them under the
smaller tube that the bottom corner of the seats attaches to. That will put
them in the correct place over the hips.

Which is the definition of pre-ignition. Octane is only there to control
detonation.
Gasoline (C8 H17) does have, by its nature in blending, different
molecular weights (mf) that also affect the heat of combustion (Qc).
Gasoline with an mf of 113 and specific gravity of .702 at 60F has a
Qc of 20,460 to 19,020 BTU/Lb mass, while a gasoline with mf of
126 and specific gravity of .739 at 60F has a Qc of 20,260 to 18,900
BTU/Lb mass. ( Taylor and Taylor, The Internal Combustion
Engine, Int Textbook Co. Scranton PA, ed 1949, rev 1960 ). Keep
in mind that this is pure gasoline without amendments like Iso-
octane, Normal Octane, Normal Heptane, etc. and all the other
compounds added to meet a manufacturer's specifications. The
stoichiometric fuel-air ratio between the two is also slightly less (
.0670 and .0668, respectively). The heat of combustion (Qv) is less
for gasolines with the higher specific gravity because of the rate of
enthalpy from liquid to gaseous state. This rate may be related to,
and affected by, brand specific blends and not just to the "gasoline"
itself.
Bottom line is that it's hard to tell what a fuel is going to do unless
there is some baseline with which to compare it and stringent
controls are observed to ensure apples-to-apples comparisons.
But then, what do I know about it......

Sounds like you know a good bit or are a real good BS'er...
Answer this stupid question... Mr. Hauck mentioned the other day that
the Rotax engines would run fine on 87 octane gas as opposed to the
"good stuff"..got me wondering and I looked it up. (Was one of those
things that I took for granted 'cause everyone else was running the 92+
octane stuff....)
Sure 'nuff the Rotax manual says 90 RON min. Now I've seen on the pumps
around here that they have a sticker that says something akin to "octane
rating derived from (RON + MON)/2 method...how would a smuck like me
find out if that RON in any particular gas was a 90 min.???

Bob,
I had the same problem. I used to fly sail planes and if my back comes off the
seat in the FireFly, I get uncomfortable. I prefer a five point belt. The double
shoulder straps keep my back against the seat, and the strap down between
the legs keeps the lap belt were it should be.
I have been criticized for my belt system being too light, but so far it has kept
me in my seat with no problems. If you are interested, you can see it at:

Jack,
Went to your site. Am I correct the shoulder straps are secured using a
couple radiator clamps? That's not good if that's the case. Even in a
moderate crash/sudden stop, there is far more force involved that most
people realize. Belts just them selves will stretch inches.

| Subject: | RAD intercom and ICOM A5 |
--> Kolb-List message posted by: Jon LaVasseur <firestar503@yahoo.com>
Hi Group,
I am trying to setup a RAD intercom with an ICOM A5
radio in a FirestarII with 503,CDI ignition. I have a
nearly perfectly tuned external antenna and can power
the equipment with their own batteries or engine
power.
The system seems to work fine electronically but when
the engine is running I can't get out a receivable
transmission. The ambient engine sound nearly
completely overpowers the mike and the receiver hears
a lot of engine and a little voice.
Does anyone have experience with this equipment and or
have any suggestions of how do adjust it to work
acceptably?
Thanks for any help.

That is some impressive sounding data, intended I presume to impress us with your
specialized knowledge in this area, but sadly lacking in useful information
for this group. It seems to me that the closest you came to answering the question
was when you referred to the "effective" compression ratio of 7:1 or less.
Although you did come right out and say it, this could be interpreted by the
group to mean low octane fuel works well in these 2-strokes of ours. The effective
compression ratio is indeed what made me decide to use 87 octane auto fuel
from day one in both 2-stroke Rotax engines I've owned, with absolutely no
deleterious effects whatsoever. One was a 582 in a Zenith 701 and now the 377
in a 84 FS.

Hey Guys,
I got it from a RC glider that I built....The first Angle in the wing
is called dihedral and the second angle toward the tips is called polyhedral......like
you guys said "many" .....like Ralp says, it's added stability.
Class is over...everybody back to work on those planes...

I think poly is 'many', and hedral is 'angle'. Who's got their Latin dictionary?

Hello Jon.
Are you using the noise cancelling microphone headset from RAD?
It sounds like the microphone is picking up all the surround noise from the
cockpit and transmitting it with your voice.
