Santa Claus came Thursday. He was dressed like the UPS man. Delivered my new 72" Taper tip Warp Drive prop. That hub is a CNC work of art. Anyway, Could somebody recommend a starting pitch setting? My Mark III has the 912 no S. John H started with 11.5 - 2 -.5 to end with 9 degrees it looks like. With 20 hp less, looks like I should start at 8 degrees and go from there. Any suggestions appreciated. Real interested to see the difference in performance between the IVO and the Warp. Getting ready for MAY.

Didn't make the dec 17 date for the first flight getting real close. I have a few friends that fly kitfox and there are two that fly the 912uls that have experienced oil ascending unit failure. their fix seems radical to me but they have elected to use a remote ascending unit plumed into the same pressure pick up point with a piece of hose and mounting the ascending unit to the air frame. John what did your gage do when you had the failure?

Uncle Craig MKIIIex 912uls Arizona Craig/All: I didn't have an oil pressure gauge failure, but a problem with panel lights robbing power from the oil pressure gauge causing a needle indication of dropping oil pressure. Oil pressure gauge works great until I turn the panel light switch on. Will have to pull the panel and do some trouble shooting until I find out where it is being grounded, or what ever it is that is stealing 12VDC power from my gauge. A problem with losing ground on an electric pressure or temp gauge usually gives an indication of full needle swing to the highest indication.

It also has another worksheet that might help you with setting the blades on your adjustable pitch prop. It calculates prop efficiency and pitch from blade setting angles and resulting engine RPM and TAS. If anyone is interested in this spreadsheet, contact me off-line and I'll send it to you. I am leaving town on the 26th for ten days so if you want it soon, contact me before then.

I got to the field about 8:00am. The air temp was 17degrees but got up to around 30 by the time I went up. I threw on the skiis and went flying for almost an hour. The lakes around here are mostly frozen and I saw some folks out ice fishing. I didn't see any snowmobiles or atvs so I didn't land. I intend on landing on as many lakes as I can this winter. That's my new goal. My last goal was to fly at least once every month this year and I completed that today! Now I've got to get some of those nice disc brakes like Scott Trask has on his skiis. ; ) Scott Olendorf Firestar, Rotax 447 and Powerfin prop.

There has been a time or too that I could have used some brakes on WATER skiis, but thats when I was younger and dumber.. c-ya Richard do not archive you wrote...... > --> Kolb-List message posted by: "ronnie wehba" > > do they work ok???? > Now I've got to get some of those nice disc brakes like Scott Trask has on > his skiis. > ----- Original Message ----- > > ________________________________ Message 10 ____________________________________ Time: 05:32:36 PM PST US From: Jack & Louise Hart Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Dribbling Bing Carburetors - Update --> Kolb-List message posted by: Jack & Louise Hart Ronnie, I don't know what to do relative to outlook express.

You would probably be about an hour away though. Gary it seems I remember your name from a long time ago that I associate with some pretty spectacular pictures in an Ultra Star.

You may remember me from a while back but not the Ultra Star. I at one time was looking for one but got the Firestar instead. I would like to get a field closer to home. One of the reasons I haven't been flying as much as I would like is the time factor to get to the field. There is a field pretty close but I think it may be closed. I haven't seen much activity for a while. I may just be there at the wrong times though.
