Rusty, THe headroom in a firefly is pretty low...I am 5'10 3/4 and my
headset rubbed the underside of the gap cover when I put a pad in the seat,
which was pretty necessary for me with the sling seat. (made my butt
ache)...
I replaced that gap cover with a fabricated one with no "Bottom"...so I
gained the thicknes of the wing in headroom...so it is very satisfactory.
There are pics somewhere on the website below of the modified gap cover.

For any pilots on the list interested in participating, the Greater Thumb Ultralight
Flyers (GTUF) is hosting another Thumb Tour on September 18. The route begins
at Kirk (Snuffy) Smith's field near Columbiaville and encompasses an estimated
240 mile loop up and around the so-called Thumb of Michigan. A fuel truck
will be following the tour and there will be a pizza lunch at Bad Axe.
The thumb area is always very pretty country to fly over, the coastline time will
be grand, and with any luck, the fall colors should be lovely.
For more information, please go to this website:
http://www.staliteaviation.com
And then click on the GTUF button.

Hi Don,
Thanks for the message. I'm thinking that I'd have to do something similar
with the gap seal in either a FF or a FS. Is that your plane in the link?
Man, what paint job! Unfortunately, it looks like there were links to pics
at the bottom of the page, but they don't seem to work. If you can find a
link to the modified gap seal pic, I'd like to see what you did.
Thanks,
Rusty (deciding what to build is half the fun)

Hi Giovanni,
I am probably the only one that installed the carbs on the backside of the
912 and mounted the oiltank behind and under the engine .
But I have more than 350 hrs on this system and have always had good oil
pressure and monitore with EIS.
I keep the oil level a little higher in the tank to offset the lower
location since it is a little out of the Rotax specs.
See my webside and follow directions to the tech page and a picture of the
912 engine and oiltank below will give you some idea.

<< Dennis:
How do you route the bridle for the 'chute so that the MK III remains near
upright under the canopy? It's not real obvious from the pic.
Thanks, George Alexander >>
George, and Kolb Gang -
The bridle exits the plane from the bottom, directly beneath the Softpack.
From there, it is routed aft, along the bottom longeron (on the aircraft
exterior) to the aft part of the cage. Then up, following the aftmost
vertical cage member to the gap seal region and then forward, to finally
attach to the 2-inch main tube at the top of the cabin, right at the CG.
Incidently, the bridle is routed around the OUTSIDE of the aileron
bellcrank, in order that the bridle remain clear (and to the exterior) of
the aileron p/p tubes. Result is a clear, unobstructed path for the bridle
to "unzip" from the aircraft exterior, in the event the BRS is deployed.
(I guess another photo or two on Photoshare would have presented a clearer
picture of the setup - sorry! I'll take some more pictures and post 'em in
the near future.)

to be higher than that to work properly. What information gave you the

Kolb fans:
I came across the following web site in my search for solutions to cracking
in my rotax 912 exhaust system that I thought was worth sharing:
http://www.rick-thomason.com/ste_003.htm
It seems to me that this exhaust system would have significantly less
potential for cracking given its size and design. If anybody has
experience or further information, please pass it on.
I also understand that TNK has their own prototype 912 exhaust system,
possibly exhibited at OshKosh, but I havent seen any pictures yet. Anybody
happen to catch a glimpse?
In the meantime, I have sent in my gearbox to have the centrifugal clutch
installed that now comes standard on any new 912 engine. Kerry at Lockwood
indicated to me that the new clutch would help dampen harmonic vibration at
cruise speeds as well as the rough running at start up. Its not clear to
me how that is accomplished, but I figure the clutch is a plus for the
engine even if it doesnt fix my problem (there's got to be a reason why
they no longer sell the engine without the clutch!).

Yes Erich, TNK does have a new exhaust system for the 912. They ran it at
SNF 2004 and also at OSH 2004. It is very compact and not prone to stress
because it is a split system. It does not seem to have any power loss and has a
nice
sound. I will try to post a picture. It sells for $895.00

Rusty,
I am just six foot but short in the legs. My head bumped the gap seal
bottom surface. I released the seat from the rear lower cross tube and
turned the seat into a true sling seat. This let my cheeks slide down and
forward and raised my knees to clear the front cross tube and to get my feet
on the rudder pedals and it keeps my head away from the gap seal. With a
thin pad under my cheeks, it is very comfortable. It took a little while to
get used of my rear swinging a little side to side but now I am used to
it.
There is a side benefit to this seat arrangement in that you can easily get
to everything below and behind the seat. It makes it much easier to poar
gas into the take directly from the can because you can pull the seat back
forward.

-------------------------
Hi Jack,
I've suspected there was a certain amount of room to be gained by modifying
the seat, but this is certainly the simplest way to do it. I figure you can
only lower it so much, before you start hitting something underneath, but
every inch counts.
Best thing to do would be to go sit in one, and in a couple months, I could
probably trust the RV-3 to take me up to London in about 2-1/2 hours. In
the mean time, maybe I can find a plane locally to look at. Anyone near
Pensacola FL? Anyone planning to go to SERFI in Evergreen, AL around the
first of Oct?
Thanks for the message.

Hey Guys,
Have any of you that own the Lowrance Airmap 100 checked your Ground Speed
?
I checked mine awhile back (before warranty expired) and the GS read 10mph
SLOWER....after I sent it back they REPLACED it...
I just checked out the new one they sent me and it's 10mph SLOWER TOO....I've
gotta call them again, but I was wondering if any others read this way....
I have a Lowrance Eagle , and the GS is just fine on it.

Hey guys,
My first message got lost...here we go again ,
I bought the Airmap 100 , back when people on the list said they were on
sale for $225. , It sat around for 11 months and finally I took it with me on
a road trip just to check it out....
The ground speed was reading 10mph too slow....I called Lowrance and I sent
it to them...they replaced it.
I check out the NEW one and it is also 10mph TOO SLOW. My Lowrance "Eagle"
works just fine , Lowrance is sending me a Fed-X slip to ship this other one
back....
I was just wondering if any of you other guys that bought the Airmap 100
has ever checked the GS. And where it's "OFF" is right in the cruise range of
the Firestar

I know this is probably a silly question, and something you've checked, but
is there any change the Airmap is reading in knots, rather than mph? I can't
help but ask, since 65 kts is 75 mph.

What are you checking the GPS speed against? What is your speed
standard? Before you can say a GPS speed is low, you have to KNOW
EXACTLY how fast you are really going. If you're checking it against a
car speedometer, you better find a cop on radar and let him calibrate
your speed.
Just asking some basic questions... It is very difficult for the speed
readings on a GPS to be off. If it's malfunctioning to the point that
the speed is wrong, then a whole lot of other functions are not working
either.

Thanks for the link to Ultraflight radio. I enjoyed the talk by Tom about
the 447. I also had the same problem with a hot spot in the midrange of the
447. There was no one to talk to about the problem, but what I did was to
buy another needle from CPS. I do believe that it was a K type needle. That
had a different taper to the midrange and solved the problem for me.

Thanks Kirk & John,
I checked the book and "Nautical" is the default setting....
I don't know why the Tech guys at Lowrance didn't bring this up... In fact
they agreed the first one that was sent back was "Bad" and that the Malfuntion
was intermittent....Oops
Well, when all else fails , read the book...
Thanks again guys,
Gotta Fly...

Well,
In the book's examples...when the speed is nautical there's a "kn" after or
below the number....It wasn't showing in the GS box that I was looking at that's
why I figured it was statute...

I just realized where I saw your name- the surplus engine group. Are you
putting a 4AO84 engine on your FS-II?
Cheers,

No, the FS II will still have my trusty 503. We are looking for a fuselage
that we can adapt Himax wings & empennage & put the 084 on that. Maybe an
Airbike......
