It seems to me that the qualifying altitude should be MSL, not AGL, so as to
not unfairly penalize people who fly out of high-altitude strips . . . :)

As the temperatures are starting to drop up here in the great white north, I'm
having trouble starting the 912 when the temp is just above the freezing point.
Engine has choke system but no primer. It will usually start but it takes a
lot of cranking.
I've checked the archives and haven't found much information other than making
sure the plugs are gapped to .5 which I have done.
Any other suggestions which might help?
Thanks

Over 10K MSL would be in violation of a FAR requiring transponders over 10K
MSL. ASL is good for sky divers, but for normal aircraft is means nothing
as it has no reference point other than to the specific point where you set
your altimeter to zero thus the reason MSL is used as it referenced to sea
level and everyone uses it except poor trained UL pilots. Why I say that,
if they understood what they were doing they wouldn't do it and would
conform to using MSL like most aviation uses. When traffic reports an
altitude it good to know where there at relative to your altitude. Without
both using the same reference you can't tell. Give it some thought the
next time your on one of those human mailing tubes.

All had better read the FAR's again. Some of you have already publically admitted
violating a rule the Feds take seriously. You could get an unpleasant
call from a hard nosed inspector slapping you with an unpleasant fine and yanking
your license. They take very seriously any DELIBERATE incursion into regulated
airspace, and several of you have !! Your certificates had better note 10,000
ft above MSL if you expect to publically display them around an airport
where an FAA field inspector may be snooping around. You also don't know who might
read these forums.
Besides, we have worked hard to get FAA to set up the new Sport Pilots rules
and regs. and shouldn't get in their face with bragging about violating a
serious reg. It can hurt the entire UltraLight community. They gave us this new
lease of life for the light airplane industry with the assurance from EAA and
the UltraLight groups that we were mature enough now to practice self discipline
and oversight to discourage some of the violations mentioned here.

--> Kolb-List message posted by: "Thom Riddle" <jtriddle@adelphia.net>
I have an electric boost pump that I use in cold weather on my 912. It is in essence
a primer, in that it makes sure the carb bowl has fuel, and that is all
it does. I run it for just a few seconds, turn it off and use full carb enricher
(it is not really a choke). The carb enricher does not work like a butterfly
choke, it simply enriches the mixture and has no effect on the air intake. The
Bing Carb enricher WILL NOT WORK WITH THE THROTTLE OPEN, so be sure you have
the enricher on full and the throttle completely closed when cranking. In cold
weather, after it starts, gradually reduce the enricher until it runs smoothly
at normal idle speed. Depending upon how your idle is set, it may or may not
take a little bit of throttle as you gradually reduce the enricher. In warmer
weather, the enricher can be shut off almost immediately after starting.

I have read the rules and could not determine if what I want to do is legal.
I would like to register my MKIII Experimental, but only get my sport pilots
license. I think this is best because it gives me the rights to do my own
maint on the aircraft, and since the aircraft fits the Sport Plane category,
I can fly it with the Sport Pilot rating. The thing I am unsure of is the
required fly off period (40 hours). Can a person with a Sport Pilot rating
fly off the required time in an Experimental aircraft? If you know, please

My 503 DCDI (on a Firestar II) starts fine when it is cold, but not after
it is hot. I have cleaned the idle jets, checked carbs, etc.
It cruises good, temps are ok. Just cannot start it hot. Has anyone else
had this problem? Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Jimmy
without knowing much about your setup my first guess is idle jet a bit too rich.....
when it is cold it is not a problem ... but when hot the fuel is vaproizing
more completely...... try opening the throttle a bit more when cranking,
or pulling the starter.... only a guess in the dark without knowing the
specifics.

The facts.......
Sec. 91.215 - ATC transponder and altitude reporting equipment
and use.
(a) All airspace: U.S.-registered civil aircraft. For operations not
conducted under part
121 or 135 of this chapter, ATC transponder equipment installed
must meet the performance
and environmental requirements of any class of TSO-C74b (Mode
A) or any class of TSO-C74c
(Mode A with altitude reporting capability) as appropriate, or the
appropriate class of
TSO-C112 (Mode S).
(b) All airspace. Unless otherwise authorized or directed by ATC, no
person may operate an
aircraft in the airspace described in paragraphs (b)(1) through (b)(5)
of this section,
unless that aircraft is equipped with an operable coded radar
beacon transponder having
either Mode 3/A 4096 code capability, replying to Mode 3/A
interrogations with the code
specified by ATC, or a Mode S capability, replying to Mode 3/A
interrogations with the
code specified by ATC and intermode and Mode S interrogations in
accordance with the
applicable provisions specified in TSO C-112, and that aircraft is
equipped with automatic
pressure altitude reporting equipment having a Mode C capability
that automatically
replies to Mode C interrogations by transmitting pressure altitude
information in 100-foot
increments. This requirement applies --
(1) All aircraft. In Class A, Class B, and Class C airspace areas;
(2) All aircraft. In all airspace within 30 nautical miles of an airport
listed in
appendix D, section 1 of this part from the surface upward to 10,000
feet MSL;
(3) Notwithstanding paragraph (b)(2) of this section, any aircraft
which was not
originally certificated with an engine- driven electrical system or
which has not
subsequently been certified with such a system installed, balloon or
glider may conduct
operations in the airspace within 30 nautical miles of an airport listed
in appendix D,
section 1 of this part provided such operations are conducted --
(i) Outside any Class A, Class B, or Class C airspace area; and
(ii) Below the altitude of the ceiling of a Class B or Class C airspace
area designated
for an airport or 10,000 feet MSL, whichever is lower; and
(4) All aircraft in all airspace above the ceiling and within the lateral
boundaries of a
Class B or Class C airspace area designated for an airport upward
to 10,000 feet MSL; and
(5) All aircraft except any aircraft which was not originally certificated
with an
engine-driven electrical system or which has not subsequently been
certified with such a
system installed, balloon, or glider -- --
(i) In all airspace of the 48 contiguous states and the District of
Columbia at and above
10,000 feet MSL, excluding the airspace at and below 2,500 feet
above the surface; and
(ii) In the airspace from the surface to 10,000 feet MSL within a 10-
nautical-mile radius
of any airport listed in appendix D, section 2 of this part, excluding
the airspace below
1,200 feet outside of the lateral boundaries of the surface area of
the airspace
designated for that airport.
For our purposes....
1. Our planes are "air recreational vehicles" , not aircraft, if kept
within the definition of "UltraLight"...which admittedly, most are
not.....
2. Your craft, as powered by a non-certificated engine, may be
considered not to have had an electrical system. Indeed, there are
probably few, if any, certificated UL or Experimental aircraft out
there. For Experimental aircraft....AC 20-27E says.....
7. FAA INSPECTION CRITERIA.
a. The amateur-built program is designed to permit persons to build
an aircraft solely for educational or recreational purposes utilizing
acceptable aeronautical construction standards and practices.
Amateur builders are free to develop their own designs or build from
existing designs. The FAA does not approve those designs nor
would it be practical to develop design standards for the multitude of
unique design configurations generated by designers, kit
manufacturers, and amateur builders.
Upon completion of the building process, the FAA inspects the
aircraft, to verify to the extent feasible, the use of acceptable
workmanship methods, techniques, and practices, and then issues
anairworthiness certificate with appropriate operating limitations.
For this you get an airworthiness certificate, not a certificated aircraft,
which is
another thing entirely. So the Experimental aircraft generally fall
outside of the
"certificated with engine driven electrical system" rule (at least that's
what my FSDO
leads me to believe....I could be wrong on this point).
FAA 7110.65, ATC handbook, states....
5-2-21. INFLIGHT DEVIATIONS FROM TRANSPONDER/MODE C
REQUIREMENTS BETWEEN 10,000 FEET AND
18,000 FEET
Apply the following procedures to requests to deviate from the Mode
C transponder
requirement by aircraft operating in the airspace of the 48 contiguous
states and the
District of Columbia at and above 10,000 feet MSL and below 18,000
feet MSL, excluding the
airspace at and below 2,500 feet AGL.
NOTE-
1. 14 CFR Section 91.215(b) provides, in part, that all U.S.
registered civil aircraft must
be equipped with an operable, coded radar beacon transponder
when operating in the altitude
stratum listed above. Such transponders shall have a Mode 3/A
4096 code capability,
replying to Mode 3/A interrogation with the code specified by ATC, or
a Mode S capability,
replying to Mode 3/A interrogations with the code specified by ATC.
The aircraft must also
be equipped with automatic pressure altitude reporting equipment
having a Mode C capability
that automatically replies to Mode C interrogations by transmitting
pressure altitude
information in 100-foot increments.
2. The exception to 14 CFR Section 91.215 (b) is 14 CFR Section
91.215(b)(5) which states:
except balloons, gliders, and aircraft without engine-driven electrical
systems.
So....unless you're a certificated aircraft with a certificated engine
driven electrical
system, 10k doesn't apply to you. If you have no electricity, you have
no radio requirement
and cannot request the waiver and additionally have no transponder
requirement either.
Enough of this stuff.........go fly.

Hi Tom,
Perhaps if you flew it to a strip that's higher or lower AGL, it would
start just fine? ;

Dear Fellow Nit Pickers,
Sigh:
<<Notwithstanding paragraph (b)(2) of this section, any aircraft
which was not originally certificated with an engine- driven electrical
system .. may conduct operations>>
<<"air recreational vehicles">>
<<powered by a non-certificated engine, may be considered not to have
had an electrical system>>
<<So the Experimental aircraft generally fall outside of the
"certificated with engine driven electrical system" rule (at least
that's what my FSDO leads me to believe....I could be wrong on this
point).>>
First "air recreational vehicles". If I understand FAR 103 correctly,
these "vehicles" are prohibited from all controlled airspace without
prior ATC permission. Despite 103's mention of flight above 10,000,
whether such high airspace is controlled is admittedly a gray area.
Wouldn't want to be the one to test the point.
Now for homebuilts. These are certificated, just certificated as
Experimental. Don't know of a single FSDO who interprets the rule
except to mean: at the time the (Experimental) certificate was issued
(or later), did the aircraft have an electrical system. This usually
means an alternator/generator, regulator and battery system large enough
to have an electric starter.
So the best way to join the club legally is to simply contact the ARTCC
for your area. If you are polite, they might give you a great big block
of time in a big area outside of the air routes. The only regulatory
requirement for people without transponders is one hour's notice. If
you have a radio, even just battery powered, probably the easiest way to
be legal is find out the local control frequency from the IFR pilot next
door and just call them when you are in the air. By the time you are up
to 10k, the hour's notice will have been passed in enjoyable flight.
I'm sure that is what all the existing members of the Kolb 10k club did
when they made their flights, right?

| Subject: | nice flight & 4 stroke up date |
--> Kolb-List message posted by: "Dan Charter" <lndc@fnbcnet.com>
The wind was down to 9 mph today so I went up for a cruise. Nice to be up again.
Saw quite a few deer that the hunters are trying to get. Saw some orange too
but not by any of the deer that I saw. When the sun was gone we decided that
we might as well plumb the 4 stroke project that my flying buddy is putting together.
It ran right off the bat without any problems. Tomorrow we'll put the
prop on the redrive and see what it can do. I don't know the actual flying weight
of this set up is but it should be a little lighter than my 377( 74 lbs with
elect start, without the radiator or oil tank or redrive) and should have a
few more hp and more torque. I hope it pulls more pounds static. It would sure
be nice to get a 40hp 4 stroke that will fly me safely. I'll post more tomorrow
if it works OK or blows up. Do not archive.

Howard/Gang:
I missed a post somewhere, I guess, reference water temp and 912/912ULS.
Straight from the horse's mouth at both 912 schools I attended, 2000 and
2004P:
There is no requirement to monitor coolant temps. We are only concerned
with cylinder head metal temperature.
Check all the publications and you will find no reference to coolant
temperatures.
I have a friend in Alaska who was pulling his hair out, what little he had
left, because he could not get the coolant temps down. I asked him to what
bracket he was trying to get them down to and where he got the requirement?
Took a lot of persuading to get this gentleman to understand we only need to
monitor cyl head metal temps.
Engine gauges on my 912/912ULS:
Oil Press
Oil Temp
CHT

Take care,

PS: I am reading my email and sending this one from the kitchen table in my
5th wheel in the RV Park at Hollywood Casino, Robinsonville, Mississippi.
Another first for a guy that remembers the big RCA console with a tiny
yellowish round dial a few inches in diameter back in the 40's. Technology
sure has come a long ways since then. Ain't it great?
