I've got a set-up now that separates the spam and lets me look it over
before deleting it, but my current problem is with long downloads plugging
things up. I'd like to be able to do something like "cancel current

that'll let me do that. It was suggested that I go to AOL, but I'm

John and Gang,
Yes, uncle Craig as well as I have waited for this day to bring life to the ULS
engine. It was exciting and fun to crank it up and have it run. It just seems
to be a big jump forward toward flying after working on this long building
project the past few years. Uncle Craig is a little off on our actual temps.
Our oil temp hovered around 225F, but never exceeded 230F.
Our CHT hovered around 245F.
EGTs I think hovered around 1245F.
H20 hovered in the 255F.
John, what is the max on H20?
The only two problems we encountered was one EGT was not working on a exhaust.
We did have our coolant overflow bottle too close to the oil tank and burned
a hole in it.
John or others, we looked back in the archives and pitched our prop at 10.5 degrees.
We never pushed our engine past 3500 rpm to see if we would hit 5400 rpm
with this pitch. Are we about in the ballpark for pitch? We have the same
blade set up as you.
Man, at 3500 rpm I told Craig to back off that plane wanted to fly. It is amazing
to see sooooo muuuuch power coming off that engine! We will try for the 5400rpm
this saturday.
Tim
Max oil temp for the ULS is 266F.
Max CHT for ULS is 284F.
Rotax allows the 912 to run higher max temps, 285F for oil and 300 for
CHT.

Good luck,
john h

Thanks for the RPM info. We did have a funny little transition sound come out
of the gear box around 1700 rpm?
Does anyone know the max on H20 or EGT?

Hi Tim/Gang:
The temps sound much better.
Coolant temperature does not enter into the equation. There is no
need to know what the coolant temp is. Your only concern should be
CHT, which is metal temp of the cylinder head. Instructions per Erick
Tucker, Rotax 912 school 2000 and 2004. There are no parameters for
coolant temp.
| John or others, we looked back in the archives and pitched our prop
at 10.5 degrees. We never pushed our engine past 3500 rpm to see if
we would hit 5400 rpm with this pitch. Are we about in the ballpark
for pitch? We have the same blade set up as you.
Sorry, I can not remember what mine is pitched at, but will take the
protractor with me to the airstrip and measure for you.
Take care,
john h

Hi Tim and Gang,
I haven't looked it up in the manual to be sure but here are the temps
that John Russell had on a placard in his Slingshot when I bought the
912S from him.
Oil temp--min. 120 max. 266
normal 190-230
Cht max.--284
Egt max.--1616
Hope this will give you an idea of the range it needs to be in.

A first person account of yesterday's Space Launch.

From: Flying Tiger
Subject: [Canards] EZ's at the Mojave Space Launch
A group of us NorCal EZ flyers flew down June 20th the day before the launch. Some
even arrived two days early just to "scope" out the place and get the inside
track on what to expect. We knew that MHV (Mojave) airport had a 7 mile TFR
around it so my EZ Flight of 3 EZ's landed at Lancaster's Willy J. Fox Field
instead. By the way, the top of the TFR airspace did turn out to be FL200...meaning
exactly that...20,000 feet. I'm sure the thinking was a sort of high cap
on the TFR would discourage the aerial gawkers and it worked. Later we found
we could have used Rosamond airport which also had a car rental available and
it is 12 miles closer than WJF (Willy J. Fox).
We drove up to Mojave to check into the motel and then around the airport to get
a bite to eat at the "Voyager Cafe". There's lots of Rutan memorabilia in the
place. There's even a LongEz sandwich on the menu! Paul Werner and Bill Kroger
had arrived the day earlier and gave us the tour. The airport's south eastern
corner was selected as the general viewing area and parking would be and was
adequate. I did find the emptiness of this place very odd. There was hardly
a motor home on the field and no one in town. I said to myself more than once
that maybe they had over anticipated the crowd numbers and after all it is a
normal work day and in the middle of the Mojave Desert.
Later we took a short drive down to Rosamond's Golden Cantina arriving around 5:30
PM. The Cantina is located on south side and east end of the Rosamond airports
runway 25. They even have their own aircraft parking area in front of patio
seating which is where we were quickly placed. Soon the Canard people from
all over starting arriving. It was nice to see some of my old bud's again and
just as nice to finally put a face to some I'd never met before. By the end of
the evening I'd guess at least 25 to 30 EZ people had come and gone.
As the clock turned past 3:00 AM I awoke and noticed the night desert winds were
still blowing. Later I learned the native Indian word for wind here in the high
desert is "Mojave". I took a peak outside the window and was startled to see
a line of cars passing the in front of the motel. All bumper to bumper gently
moving along at a good but slow pace. It was apparent now that "if you build
it, they will come"....remember the scene out of the movie Field of Dreams....exactly
that. We quickly hustled up and headed out the door and jumped in the
line.
The night air was cool but not too cool. Light jacket weather foretelling the heat
that was yet to come later in the day's high sun. The line of cars at this
point had to miles and miles long. The organizers kept the flow moving and we
quickly found ourselves parked and heading for our soon to be personal viewing
area at the end of Runway 30. It appears the MHV airport has built a new taxiway
just for this and future Space Port viewing activities. I checked my AirChart
airport diagram of MHV and the newly constructed taxiway is not yet there.
Quickly the sun rose and right on schedule (6:35 AM) White Knight carrying Space
Ship One under it's belly, taxied by the crowd with Mike Melville waving his
arm out the one of the little starboard side windows. The chase planes were quickly
launched which consisted of what looked like an aerobatic Extra or Edge
and a Beech Starship. There was already a jet trainer Buckeye flying overhead
which must of come from somewhere else.
A few minutes later and White Knight with Space Ship One firmly attached roared
down runway 30, lifted off and started a series of gentle right and left turns
over the top of the airport closely followed by the Starship. As the moment
drew near for the drop the aircraft were positioned directly below the fast rising
sun which made picture taking and viewing nearly impossible. Many people
had the air to air freq tuned in (123.375) and were listening intently. Soon the
word came that the Space Ship had been released followed by "engine ignite".
At that moment we all saw the smoke quickly rising below, then straight though
the middle and out the top of the brightly glowing sun. Up, up and away it rose
faster and faster until 80 seconds passed and the engine was spent. What seemed
a long time later we heard a couple of high and very distant sonic booms and
the crowd roared. We hear over the radio Mike activating the "feather" and
then retracting it once back in the earths atmosphere.
It was at that point we could all now see the for real now "space ship" returning
to earth. It was quickly joined by the Starship and the jet trainer high over
the airport. At one point I heard Mike say over the radio that it was great
to see the jets along side and he could even hear their engines as he was now
officially a glider.
Soon he called "High Key and 103 knots" and turned to line back up on MHV's runway
30 being led by the little aerobatic plane down to the runway. Mike make a
beautiful landing where it was gently towed into the press viewing arena. The
rest as you know is history and we were all happy to have played a very small
part in just being there. Mike Melville can now carry the distinction of being
the first "civilian astronaut" along with being a homebuilder and EZ pilot.

It might be interesting to note that back in the early 80's I was torn
between building two airplanes, LONG-EZ or KOLB. Hard choice, I went with the
EZ.
Back then Mike and Sally Melville had the hard job of builder phone support. I
talked with them often and had the pleasure of showing them my completed EZ
(N27SB s/n 1592) in 1985. I flew it for about 750 hours and sold it. It now
lives in Key West, FL.
After 20 years I now get to build the 2nd half of my dream, which is a MKIII
Classic. Now that's what I call two ends of the rainbow. I am really amazed at
the builder support available on this list and I can't wait to take advantage
of it as I get farther along. So really, EZs and Kolbs are related, they are
both fine examples of aircraft at opposite ends of the spectrum.

Hi fellow Kolbers and future builders,
Last night I was able to use the jig for the fuselage I made. It took some welding
and cutting to make but was well worth the effort.
Now I can rotate the fuselage 360 degrees and roll it out into the paint area and
sand blasting area for final prep.
http://www.c-gate.net/~ppetty/photos/P6210001.JPG
Notice how being able to position the fuselage in any position aids in the drilling and inserting the "Tube Seal" and closed end rivets. http://www.c-gate.net/~ppetty/photos/P6210001.JPG
http://www.c-gate.net/~ppetty/photos/P6210004.JPG
I can also rotate the fuselage 360 degrees at intervals to allow the tube seal
to find any cracks or pin holes in welds.
http://www.c-gate.net/~ppetty/photos/P6210005.JPG
When I ordered the covering from Jim @ aircraft tech support I ordered only 30
closed end rivets. The Kolbra has some 60+ tubes that need tube seal for this
climate due to high humidity and salt water in the atmosphere. One can place these
closed in rivets in places that will never be seen. As of today I only have
found 2 welds on the airframe that were missed. I can sew these up with our
new Lincoln 185 TIG machine.
Well that's Ms. Dixie at this point....headed to surgically remove the flaperon
handle from the cage and check for further weld leakage of the tube seal!
Parting shot of the closed end rivets in the structure..... http://www.c-gate.net/~ppetty/photos/P6210007.JPG
Later guys

It might be interesting to note that back in the early 80's I was torn
between building two airplanes, LONG-EZ or KOLB. Hard choice, I went with
the EZ.
Back then Mike and Sally Melville had the hard job of builder phone support.
I
talked with them often and had the pleasure of showing them my completed EZ
(N27SB s/n 1592) in 1985. I flew it for about 750 hours and sold it. It now
lives in Key West, FL.
After 20 years I now get to build the 2nd half of my dream, which is a MKIII
