If I hafta use that as my airstrip, ANYone is welcome to beat me into the air. I'd need a heli-chopter. Over Heated Lar in Palm Springs, where it's forecast to go around 115 or more tomorrow.

The reason (I believe) is that it was a conversion from a SeaDoo watercraft. On that engine, Rotax used the Nipendenso ignition system. It has a timing curve built in where the ignition timing is retarded at lower rpms & only goes to full advance later. All or most Rotax/Bombardeer engines use Nipensenso. For unknown reasons (probably for same reason they switched to Bing Carbs-- because Micuni ,?spelling?, refused to sell their carbs for aircraft use.)their aircraft engines use Ducati which does not have a timing curve. All the aircraft Rotax versions only fire at full advance, that is why they have the shakes at startup & shutdown. Airscrew Performance's conversion throws out the Ducati & replaces it with Nipendenso for that reason. The bigger rotaxes & the big bore 277 are harder hitting. I agree the rubber dampner should lesson the effect. ...Richard Swiderski Hey Richard Swiderski....you really know this stuff don't you!! Finally got my dimensions for the boat trailer to Kolb trailer conversion up here in Ohio...and will start on it tomorrow. later buddy George Randolph Firestar driver from .....geez....... who knows do not archive ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 08:07:57 AM PST US From: "woody" Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Electric Fue Pump Question --> Kolb-List message posted by: "woody" Gosh Lar don't tell me we have worn down that thick skin of yours or is the warm starting to get to you..

In addition to all the places mentioned, I put a piece across the top of each gusset on the wing ribs. There is a sharp edge on those gussets that could cause problems.

The FAA only allows a total of 60 lbs for this addition. I have done the preliminary calculations and I believe that it can be done. I have already started on this project so if anyone has any interest Or ideas I would be happy to hear them.

He holed up at my place a couple of days last month & I got a peek into his shall we say, "unique" mind. The plane fact is that he knows too much about too many things & enjoys them all (with great success) entirely too much as well. His hopeless attraction to these divergent interests will probably insure that I finish my project this decade before he does. The unbearable triple digit heat is merely a ruse to disguise his problem & is only a minor contributing factor in my favor. Bob Bean: Congratulations on your accomplishment! I had a taste of what you went thru in jetting my old twin carb Cuyuna with its notorious 3/4 throttle hot spot. I spent more than 10 hours taming that & it pales in comparison. I am anticipating your results!

Swiderski vs Bourne. If the temps drop below the boiling point in PS, bigLar might have the edge. Will the first hop take place at the strip at the high desert? Lar has valuable acreage up there. Looking at the string on carb fine-tuning, I have a new respect for the subject. By far the most brain taxing portion of doing the suzuki powerplant has been getting the mixture curve on my solex to agree with my homebrew induction plumbing. Only today, blessed with a rare perfect day, have I attained a combination of jetting that i can confidently accept for the upcoming test period. -This is after putting over 10 hours on the tach doing relentless tiedown testing. This is what you get into using non-standard everything.
