Kirk and list, on our field there are 2 Flight Stars. One-582 and one-hks. I
have flown them both. These numbers are not exact but: With 2 on board, the
Rotax power had us off in about 150 ft. and climbing out at 800 fpm. The HKS
had us off in 200 ft. and climbing out at 5-600 fpm.. Still producing it's hp
at the high rpm's, the HKS was probably not much quieter but did sound nice
and smooth. Didn't quite have the snap of the 582 but the HKS did a fine job.
When looking at things such as cost, fuel burn?, not mixing and burning oil,
dependability, etc., The HKS may be worth looking into? I enjoyed the Flight
Star flights with either one, keeping in mind that these planes are built very
light.

A good comparison. I wonder how much weight difference there is between
the Flightstar and a Mark 3? Those are pretty good figures. Not a 912 but
not bad. Do you know how many hours are on HKS engine and if the guy has
any problems with it? Thanks! Kirk

--> Kolb-List message posted by: Earl & Mim Zimmerman <emzi@supernet.com>
Hey Guys,
I have a lot of 2 stroke experience, but not with oil injection. I
was wondering what the actual average fuel/oil ratio is? I thought that
I read somewhere in the manual that it could range from 50-70:1. My fuel
capacity will be 18 gal. and the current oil reservoir is 44 oz. Are
most of you 2 strokers using the big 2.5 liter rotax oil tank? -- Earl

Cutting the filter is an essential element in detecting wear as early as possible.
Don is absolutely correct, with the possible exception of using a magnifying
glass. All 4-stroke engines wear some and generate some very small particles
of metal between oil changes, and the normal amount can be seen with the naked
eye. If you see chunks larger than specks or a lot more than normal then it
is time to look for where it is coming from. But tiny speck size (visible with
the naked eye) bits of metal are absolutely normal. You will only know "how
much is normal" after you've cut and examined a few filters when there is no problem.
Oil analysis is an okay thing to do if you want but not nearly as good or useful
as cutting and examining the filter. Oil analysis won't tell you there is a
big chunk of aluminum sitting at the bottom of the sump or in the screen or in
the filter. Oil analysis is good for establishing a baseline metal content in
your oil. Once you have a base line future oil analyses might enable you to spot
changes. I used to do oil analysis on every oil change on our Cherokee but
stopped doing it because I kept getting inconsistent reports from the same lab
which led me to believe the results had limited value. Cutting and examining
the filter, though is a must at every oil change.

I'm not a structural engineer but I would be very careful eliminating the
bumps from the leading edges. There can be allot of torque on that
connection to the control surfaces. It would seem that if it was strong
enough they would suggest it as a option like they do on the trailing edge.
Set up a test and compare the strengths of both joints on a section of a
control surface and measure the maximum pressure before failure. You may
also want to consider the fatigue resistance of your design change.

(scary concept I know) However here it goes.... During my control surface
construction I chose the "radius" method to eliminate the bumps on the
trailing edges. Why not use small square gussets on the leading edges
instead of the way the plans call for. I made up one out of scrap and used
four rivets. Two on the leading edge and two on the rib. Looks real nice!
But is it as strong? Looks stronger. More work but hey, whole lot cleaner
looking.

Earl/All:
Figuring at a straight 50 to 1, 44 oz is good for 17.2 gal.
That seems to work out just a tad on the shy side, but if
you figure in warmup, taxi, and descent time, it would
probably be just about right. I would no hesitate to fly in
that configuration.

Use your finger nail to crease the polytape down where it

James,
Depending on what paint you use, and how much the backround color coats have
filled the weave. If the weave is still very visable..bleeding will be more
likely than if it is filled to the point where it cant be seen.
Also a very good precaution is to shoot a coat of the backround color after
you mask the object.
For instance..IF you are doing...say..a white star on a blue backround,
mask the star , then shoot a coat of blue along the edge of your tape. If it
is going to bleed, you wont see it...this effectively seals the edge of the
tape better..then after thats is dry...shoot the white for the star over it.
If it is a stripe...the same method will apply.
using poly-tone with extra reducer and retarder to get a better gloss will
also enhance the paints bleeding under the tape edges. I think its the
slower drying maybe..or that its just thinner in viscosity maybe...but it
bleeds easier, so be careful here.
I also have found that vinyl pinstriping tape for a cleaner edge works
better than the "Blue" or "Purple" painters tape (Poly-eethelene sumpthin or
other stuff)...but that blue is alot better than regular white of beige
paper masking tape.
After many struggles with bleeding while painting the "FlagFly"...I went to
decalzone.com and ordered vinyl stars and found it alot
better..cheaper...easier...and prettier than masking them.
I used the blue 3-M vinyl pinstripe tape for the edges of all the stripes,
as it also lays a curve better, seals better, and removes better than any
painters tape you can find. Then use the blue painters tape over the
pinstripe tape to widen and fill Plus shot a coat of base color over every
single edge.I got really nice clean edges then..(finally)
I think I must have had about 4700 feet of "edges" in my paint job...and I
didnt get it right the first time. No amount of extra steps to make sure you
have a good tape edge seal is too much compared to rubbing off an entire
paint job on a control surface or a stabilizer with a case of paper towels
and a gallon of MEK Thinner.
I have a few pics in the painting section of my website...

I use Tygon. Get from Acft Spruce. It will stain a little,

I had and still have a problem with one of my L brackets on the fuselage
tube. The rivets snap before the tighten down. Travis at TNK told me that
ray dips his in oil and they would pull down all the way.
Tried it didn't work.....

Paul,
My 3/16" rivets did the same thing so I left them that way. They seem pretty secure
so I figured they were seated good enough.

James/Gang:
No matter how many times we paint airplanes, we still have
screwups. Some major, and some minor.
I can usually wait until the final coat is shot, then
without thinking, after the tape and masking paper is
removed. Raise an aileron until it bottoms out on the
trailing edge of the wing, permanently scarring the almost
perfect paint job.
Another time I was concerned, after I had finished shooting
and pulling masking, took the tape measure to make sure I
had the right dimensions on the wing sunburst, accidentally
let the tape get into the "green" aerothane. Oops! Screwed
up again.
The best feeling in the world, bar none, is when the last
cup of paint is shot, the masking is removed, and the paint
is cured for a week without flaws. Doubt that will ever
happen to me though. :-)

Earl,
I kept track of my oil to fuel consumption very closely for the first 50
hours or so and it averaged about 62 to 1 . I called Lockwood, where I purchased
the engine, and they said that was about right. My engine is a 582.

What kind of rivets are you using? Sounds like the grip is too short. Not sure,
though, without knowing what you're using. We use CherryMax mostly on our helos
if you can't get to 'em to buck 'em. Where the stem breaks off tells you if
the grip is too short, too long, or correct on a Cherry. I don't know about any
rivet that would snap pulling it. Don't think I'd want to be using them on
a structural joint. Maybe it's just me, but I'm a stickler where structural integrity
is concerned. Bad thing about Cherry's is they require a special pneumatic
puller that costs around $1000. Don't think you can do it with a hand puller.
You sure couldn't snap one off by hand.

Poops et al:
I know it may be overkill for some, but I use the heavy duty (pulse line)
for ALL my fuel lines. It "yellows" a bit over time, but doesn't discolor
to a point where you can't see the fuel level. Plus don't give it a thought
about collapsing. I change it out periodically anyway. The price
difference of a few dollars is well worth it to me.

I have pulled several hundred CM rivets with common Craftsman pop puller.
It'll last about maybe a 100, then back to the store. My cow-milking days
more than 70 yrs ago was good training. I've seen the pneumatic pullers, and
they are fine for production or big shops with lots of sheet metal repairs,
BUTT too much money.
As for the the common AL pops breaking--most likely too short grip length.

In a similar vein, I recently saw a ceramic plaque to go on a wall. I'm

Had an interesting visit with Al & Beth from Wisconsin today. They're visiting
kids and grandkids here in Palm Springs for Thanksgiving, and will be back home
again by tomorrow night. Nice folks, and they were nice enuf to spend a good
part of their day with me, 1st at the Mexican resaurant, and then up to visit
Vamoose. That guy up there actually got the new gear bent, so there's some
progress. Al's been a lurker on the List for about a month now, and is seriously
thinking about building a Kolbra. He had some interesting things to
say..............one of which is that he was a commercial helicopter pilot out
of Fairbanks for 28 years, until recently retiring. What a life THAT must have
been ! ! ! I'm not envious - uh uh. He had some thoughts about safety for
those going on the flight next summer, but I'll let him talk to you after he
gets home. Aaaaaand........for the 2 Johns...........he was a chopper pilot in
'Nam, too. Sure would like to hear the BS session when you-all get together.

Well that shouldn't happen. Check make sure you are
using a SS rivet. an aluminum rivet may do that snap
early,, but SS rivet should not. If it is an AL rivet
check all your other rivets to make sure they aint AL.
If they are replace.

if you want to do stars or other effects use kitchen cupboard self adhesive backed
vinyl it can be had at any grocery store. I used it on my desert scene with
aro-thane. cut the design first with an ex-ato knife then apply the mask, works
great. after the paint is dry and you remove the mask you may have to clean
the adhesive off with a little alcohol.

Paul/others,
Check to be sure the item being riveted, is held tightly against the item
being riveted to. In other words, make sure there is no gap between the two
pieces, because if there is even the slightest gap, when the rivet begins to
expand, it will expand somewhat between the two pieces and then the rivet cannot
possibly pull the two pieces tightly together before the stem breaks off.
