When you turn off your master switch, does that not turn off the
electric fuel pump?
If one has the time and forethought, good idea to kill the master
before impact. Cuts down on the chances of an electrical spark
igniting spilled fuel.
Take care,
john h
Yes, the master does kill everything
I was afraid I might be short on forethought or not have the time at a
time like that. Your comments have changed my thoughts on where I will
install the inertia switch. I will now install it in the circuit for the
master power solenoid. There it will kill all power in the event of an
undesireable event.

BTW: I was able to shut down all power when I had the engine failure, but I
was probably 500' AGL.

Warning: an unclear question may invite a dumb question:
Did you install the gear with the output shaft up (higher than the
crankshaft) or down (lower than the crank shaft.
If you don't want to answer this dumb question, then maybe you could say
what prop size you had in mind?

Steve/all
Just curious about where this enertia switch goes in the circuit. If it
only is in the coil circuit for the master solenoid you will still have one
side of the contacts on the solenoid hot and the lead from there to the
battery hot . Keeping that lead as short as possible decreases the chances
of it being shorted to ground or arcing in a crash. Adding extra covering
over that will help even more. You probably are already aware of this but
just wanted to mention it in case. Kirk

| Subject: | Outboard Rib Reinforcement |
--> Kolb-List message posted by: "John Hauck" <jhauck@elmore.rr.com>
Good Morning Kolbers:
Was trying to find some other info for Paul Petty, rivet sequence for
attaching ribs to spar. While looking through my old MKIII
supplemental drawings, came across this page:
http://home.elmore.rr.com/jhauck/MK%20III%20Construction/Rib%20Reinforcement.jpg
If it is not large enough, I will rescan and upload another to my
index page.
Please note the date Dennis Souder drew the plans and the wrote the
instructions, 1990. I built my first MKIII wings in 1991 and the
second set in 1992. I noticed one thing I did not do on my rib
reinforments, the two extra rivets in the front and rear gussets. So
far, this has not presented any problem. When I rebuilt the left wing
in 2001, the front and rear gussets were just fine.
Also note that: "These are not necessary for NORMAL flight loads with
a properly handled and maintained wing." I emphsize "normal flight
loads." My wings have experienced much more than normal flight loads
during their travels. Especially the one in the back of the trailer
from Muncho Lake, BC, to OSH, and finally hauck's holler, Alabama.
Also note, where the holes are drilled and riveted. Maybe List Member
Jim Gerken will rethink what he wrote about "my" useless modifications
"filling the ribs with unnecessary holes, weakening them, adding
weight for nothing."
Please take into consideration, my airplane has not led a NORMAL life,
and will not lead a normal life in the future. In these conditions, I
want Miss P'fer to keep on doing the excellent job she has been doing
all these years. She has proven to me, whether any one else agrees or
not, that the rib mods are, indeed, doing what I wanted them to do.
If you all need a larger picture to see the plan sheet more clearly,
let me know.
I also added another 10 mb to the 5 free ones Road Runner gave me for
my personal web site. $10.00 a month is a small fee to try and help
folks with their Kolbs.
Take care,
john h

I think this idea of an inertial switch is interesting. But I have one
concern that I'd be interested to hear comments about. Is it possible that
an unexpected bump in the air could trip the switch? Even on days when the
flying was pretty sweet, I've hit an occasional blammo that would rattle my
teeth.

Kolbers,
For what it's worth, I have an inertia in my hand and it trips pretty easy. I remember
when these were made mandatory by the DOT for fuel injected cars. I was
working for a Ford dealer at the time and we had a lot of customers that would
"trip" the switch by hitting a pot hole. It was common when they first started
using them but not common anymore.

This was my worry. So if I were to make a hard, bouncy landing and the
engine were suddenly "off" because of this switch, I wouldn't have the
option to use power to get things under control or to go around. I could
even lose power by hitting a bad bump on summer day?

Ken/All:
You will not shut down the engine by shutting off the master switch,
if wired correctly, on electrical power, i.e., hot wires to cause
sparks when crashing providing for ignition for spilled fuel.
P Leads are grounded to kill ignition and shut down the engine. These
are on seperate switches from the master switch. Master switch simply
disconnects the continuous duty solenoid in the battery cable,
isolating juice to the battery.
I also have an alternator switch to disconnect the alternator from the
main buss bar.
Take care,

Kolbers:
That paragraph sucks.
Let me try again. That's what I get for not reading what I write.
Master shuts down electrical power from the battery by disconnecting
the master solenoid, a continuous duty device. This reduces chances
of sparks from broken, shorted out wires, during and after the crash
from igniting spilled fuel.
P leads from ignition have to be grounded by the ignition switch(es).
Not connected to master.

Does anyone having experience with the Bing 64 carbs, as on the Rotax 912 engines,

Do they work like the HAC kits on the Bing 54s on the 2 strokes? How high
of a density altitude will they automatically compensate for? Any information

The Bing 64 sort of compensate for pressure changes by default because it is
pressure, and not a cable, that actually raises the carb slide in them. So
they do have a modest amount of compensation by default.

Thom/All:
Aug 1994, 13,500 feet, Rotax 912, MK III, still climbing and putting
out power.
May 2003, 14,500 feet, Rotax 912ULS, same MK III, still climbing and
putting out power.
Do not know if 912 carb operates like a HAC carb.
Eric Tucker referred to the carbs as Constant Depression Carbs (CD).
I have always, right or wrong, called them Constant Velocity Carbs
(CV).
The 912 carb is very similar in operation to the SU carbs used on
Brit vehicles for many years. Also on my 1960 and 61 Volvo PV544's.
Had to put light machine oil in the reservoirs for dampening the
pistons.

Tom/All:
Your post makes the 912 carb sound like it doesn't work well, "they do
have a modest amount of compensation by default."
I realize your Pappy has been talking about "his" HAC system for two
stroke carbs, but.................
I just hit the send button on a post based on "actual" flight
experience with the Bing CD carb to 14,500 feet. Many other flights
above 10,000. Not bragging on the Bing Carb, would much rather have a
good electronic fuel injection system.
I am not a mechanic/engineer/dealer. But I have seen them work and
work well without user input to change jetting or set up.
1994 was a different story for the carbs on the 912 that were not the
least bit happy at anything below cruise power, which is 5,000 rpm for
me. As soon as I would back off cruise, at temps in the 30s and 40s,
the engine felt it was coming out of the mounts. Shuddered and shook
something frightening. The following winter, after some user
experimentation and a lot more flight time, I discovered the 912S
manufactured in late 1992 was tuned very lean in midrange. Any
further leaning would invoke complaints from the engine.
On the other hand, the 912S, manufactured late 1999, had since had the
carb tuning changed. Never had any problems, right out of the box,
with the 912S flying in the same geographical and meteorogical
conditions.
NOTE: My post is not to cause controversy. Simply expressing my
point of view, for those that would think otherwise. :-)

Exactly right. I just don't want to say that they compensate 100% for
density altitude, because they don't. Just fot pressure, which is only one
componenst of density altitude. Still, that will be enough for most common
flying.

All ELTs have inertial switches, that can be "unarmed' or switched off.
I've never seen /heard of an ELT sw arming without plane hitting

Maybe I should have said "most," as I've never seen all ELTs.

If this inertial switch turns off for any reason other then a crash then you
are adding a very negative piece of gear that you really don't need. KISS
(keep it simple stupid) is usually the best guideline for systems design in
aircraft. You already have a master switch. It takes only the flick of a
finger to kill all power in the system. Do you really need a device that
turns all power off for you based on some inertial spike? What are the
specs. for this device? How is it calibrated. Does it matter how it is
mounted to determine what g level sets it off? What is the failure rate and
mode. Do they fail on or off? Is it resetable? If you land out in a field
hard (or hit some wicked turbulence) and set this thing off can you reset it
and start up again and keep flying or takeoff again if there is minimal
damage? All I can say is leave it on your bench and you're sure it won't
cause you problems. Put it on the plane and now you have to know the
answers to all these questions, and a bunch more I haven't thought of.

Steve/all
Just curious about where this enertia switch goes in the circuit. If it
only is in the coil circuit for the master solenoid you will still have one
side of the contacts on the solenoid hot and the lead from there to the
battery hot . Keeping that lead as short as possible decreases the chances
of it being shorted to ground or arcing in a crash. Adding extra covering
over that will help even more. You probably are already aware of this but
just wanted to mention it in case. Kirk

Amen, Brother! Gots to be careful about what you say and how you say
it. hehehe
I have never fired off the old Pointer I bought in 1991, in the air,
but have on the ground. Either weak enertia switch or very hard
landings or both.
The old Point ELT was cheap back then, but the batteries are very
expensive. Hope to update to one of the ELT's that uses D Cell
batteries and save some money on annuals.

Thanks for the information on your experiences....I'm a believer now. In fact the
words "...moderate compensation..." triggered my original question. But....can
anyone tell me how they work? I had the HAC kit on my old 582 and clearly
understood how it worked. The engineer in me is just wanting to know if the Bing
64 uses the same sort of set-up but internal to or at least standard equipment
with this carb. I know the HAC kit uses a single atmospheric pressure compensating
bellows that connects to both carbs for equalized automatic adjustment.
Since the two carbs on the 912 and the HKS 700 are not very close together
and do not utilize a common air filter, I was wondering how they worked. I could
not find a detailed and/or illustrated picture on the Bing website is why I
asked this group.
Any more details of its function? I know curiosity killed the cat but I can't help
it.

I had forgotten how nice it was to fly the Ultrastar, before the days

Lost the GPS on a flight to OSH out of Kankakee, IL. Started
navigating pilotage and DED reckoning. Immediately forgot about
ground speed, getting in a hurry, etc. Was nice to fly along with air
speed, mag compass, and sectional. On approach to Jolliet for fuel,
the GPS decided it was time to acquire satelites, and I was navigating
again by satelite. :-)

Thom/All:
Get that engineer out of ya and you will feel a lot better.
Eric Tucker explained the full function of the Bing 64 during the 912
School. Since Paul Petty was also there, and he is my junior (in
age), I will let him explain the operation of the Bing 64 Constant
Depression Carburator.
Or, ............ you can go to the Kodiak web site and download a 912
shop manual. There is an explanation in there. Or, if you can not
find it on the Kodiak Research web site, let me know and I will scan
that portion of the maintenance manual for you.
In layman's terms:
The carb measures static pressure at the end of the float bowl chamber
static port tube.
Another pressure port on the lip of the carb throat measures static
pressure there.
Another system measures the amount of airflow through the throat of
the carb.
The piston with fuel needle attached is raised and lowered by the
differences in pressure to meter the correct amount of fuel through
the main jet and needle jet.
The Bing CD carb uses a butterfly throttle valve behind the piston
(similar to the 2 stroke carb).
Not too technical, but maybe you can get on my level and understand.
:-)
Take care,

John,
Actually, I was the first to have a conversion kit and dad copied me after
seeing how many I was selling. :-) However, the kit works the same and
uses pretty much the same compensator as the one Rotax sold except we covert
your old carburetors instead of buying new ones. We just give you want you
need. Rotax wanted to sell it as a complete package with the carbs.... poor
marketing if you ask me. I've sold more of them in the last year than Rotax
probably sold in 10 years.
The kit compensates for both pressure and temperature. We normally use it
for protecting against atmospheric changes from day to do or season to
season. You know, my dad did have a piston seizure on an engine just from a
day to day density altitude change of several thousand feet. It was an cool
(rare) August morning and he had jetting for hot summer days in the 503.
Totaled the blue Micro Mong on that one. Was lucky to stumble away with
just a few stiches and a sprained ankle.
Now, there is some limit to the compensation. Since the adjustment is done
by a diaphragm expanding and contracting connected to a needle, there is
only so far the diaphragm can expand and contract and as it reaches close to
that limit, it will loose it's adjustment effectiveness. This range depends
on who's kit you buy. I should say that the compensator as it comes from
Bing is not EXACTLY the same as it was when Rotax made thier kits. We have
to change some things which, exactly what is proprietary information.
Basically, the compensator will not work right without these changes. My
dad and I do it a little differently, but with my kit the lower edge of the
adjustment range is a little below sea level and the upper part of the range
is somewhere between 18,000 - 20,000 feet. I've never flown that high, so
it's theoretical. That is also density altitude. Keep in mind that your
density altitude can be extremely different from your physical altitude by
several thousand feet.
It's mostly handy for the seasonal changes, like I said. While I am
perfrectly capable of changing needle clip positions or main jets, I don't
want to be out there with a screwdriver, 10mm wrench and 8mm wrench in 20F
weather fumbling around with jets with 20F gasoline on my unprotected
fingers. I want to just get in and go. So the HAC works nicely for that.

Gang,
I do have the GB mounted up. The GB has the 3.47:1 ratio but It is new and I can
exhange it for another if need be. I am looking at powerfin props and is looks
as if I can only get a 68" to fit without spacers under the motor. The folks
at powerfin say that anything less than 70 is not very effecient and I should
look at changing the ratio to 3:1 or 2.67:1 and run the smaller prop. I just
do not know.
I cannot run a 4-5 blade prop as I need to fold the wings.
Bob, can you send me a photo of your setup and let me know how you got it to fit?

If this inertial switch turns off for any reason other then a crash then you
are adding a very negative piece of gear that you really don't need.
Reply: All automobiles with fuel injection (that know of) have inertia
switches for the purpose I intend to use it.
KISS
(keep it simple stupid) is usually the best guideline for systems design in
aircraft. You already have a master switch. It takes only the flick of a
finger to kill all power in the system.
Reply: I am probably not as quick to think and react as most others I am
just afraid that if I were to stall at 30 - 40 feet AGL during a bad landing
approach I would not think quickly enough to turn off the master. this is
only one possibility of a quick accident.
Do you really need a device that
turns all power off for you based on some inertial spike?
Reply: No. I just want it.
What are the specs. for this device? How is it calibrated. Does it matter
how it is
mounted to determine what g level sets it off?
Reply: My plane is an experimental.
What is the failure rate and mode. Do they fail on or off? Is it
resetable?
Reply: Don't know. Don't know. And yes they reset with the push of a
button. I plan to mount the switch within reach while seated and strapped
in.
If you land out in a field hard (or hit some wicked turbulence) and set this
thing off can you reset it and start up again and keep flying or takeoff
again if there is minimal
damage?
Reply: My engine will not quit running if the main power is off.
All I can say is leave it on your bench and you're sure it won't
cause you problems.
Reply: And it won't give me any protection either.
Put it on the plane and now you have to know the
answers to all these questions, and a bunch more I haven't thought of.
Again. My plane is an experimental. I am the manufacturer and tester of
parts that go on it. I am also the test pilot.
These are only my thoughts, I do not recommend this to any one. I am
enjoying the thoughts and comments about it. One comment has caused me to
change how I will put it in the system.

Steven G/All:
Great response!
I love it!
That's why I like Steven Green. He is honest.
I remember when we went round and round about post crash fires. Some
wanted to build balistic resistant fuel systems. Some were going to
build fuel tanks within fuel tanks. And on and on.
I only know of one post crash fire in an ultralight, a RANS
S-something, out in Texax many years ago that killed a husband and
wife. Someone else knew of an UL accident that killed somebody else.
Post crash fires are about as prevalent as fires in automobiles. They
do happen, but not often. If you happen to be the one trapped in a
burning aircraft, you will probably wish you had taken more
precautions to survive.
Take care,

Thanks Bob:
I am thinking seriously about upgrading from the ICOM A3 hand held to
something that I may be able to hear and understand what is being said
better. I have a really difficult time hearing other ULs and
experimentals, but not usually controllers.
The old King KX99 did me a good job for about 12 or 13 years, but
maintenance got to the point that it took more to have it overhauled
than it did to purchase initially.
Maybe new ears would be cheaper.

John;
No real experience with the radio you asked about,
but, from comments of a friend with one, he stated
that it worked well, but was sometimes very hard
to change frequencies, or adjust, while in the air,
due to the small size of the controls.
Apparently, he attempted to change in a little less
than perfect air and had some difficulty doing so.
