As I understand it, you do NOT need any more paperwork. Your pvt ticket does
allow you to "exercise the privileges" of a SP.
I have a pretty good article from Kitplanes that talks to this. If you want.
I'll send you a copy.

Thanks guys, in this case you have to beat your own drum to
"get famous"......submit the photo and and text.
Actually today looks to be a good flying day here in NY.
No snow, no wind, 40+ degrees and overcast but 10+
vis. -It would be tempting to keep the plane in the shed
up on the runway next year but hate having to worry about
all the varmits, squirrels, chipmonks, rats, coons getting in
and chewing on the wires, storing nuts, excretions.
It's only 3 months, better in the safety of the shop.

This is an interesting question. For PPL to get your BFI, you have to be
pilot in command which means you have to have a valid medical. To exercise
the privileges of Sport Pilot category under a PPL, can you get a BFI to
permit you to exercise only those privileges.

Hi Larry, Bob B, and All:
Let me add my congrats to Lar's. I haven't seen the photo cause I
dropped my Kit Planes subscription some time ago.
Today and tomorrow will be good flying days at hauck's holler,
alabama. Tim Warlick, Mobile, AL, is on his way up to fly a little in
Miss P'fer. We are going to shoot a few landings and bore some holes
in the sky. Got to get over to the airstrip and drag the cow crap.
Haven't flown in a while and the cows will have the entire strip
landmined, I'm sure.
I kinda hate to fly now, after watching this golden eagle fly. Tilly
sure knows how to do it.

Be sure and take a look at the video at her site. She is impressive.

Hi Ya'll:
Forgot to mention in my last, Tim Warlick has built and completed his

Kirk
I talked to one of the head FAA people at Oshkosh last summer. If you have
your Private Pilots license you will be flying under that license with ALL
the privileges it contains. The medical is only necessary if you fly a
airplane that requires that 3rd class medical (ultra lights and Light Sport
airplanes don't).
To expand on this you will have all the special certifications (high speed,
controlled airspace etc. and endorsements to fly any sport airplane (for
those that haven't flown a LSP it is HIGHLY recommended that you get a check
ride in one you will fly but it isn't required) The biannual check ride can
be done in a LSP or GA aircraft your choice again you are flying under the
Private Pilot license. The medical isn't required in a GA airplane when you
fly with a instructor.

I enjoy the list but usually do not participate. I respect and enjoy the questions
and responses and have learned a lot simply by observing.
I have been flying a KXP for about 250 hours now with a 503. I have learned
to live with the limitations of space a fuel capacity but have always had my eye
open for a 4 stroke that would satisfy the limited wt and power requirements
of the aircraft. I am not interested in going any faster. The 35 to 90 envelope
suits me fine. An ideal choice seems to be a 50 to 60 hp single rotary (which
is actually a 2 stroke) originally made by Midwest but now manufactured
by Diamond for motorgliders. Is anyone on the list familiar with this engine?
It comes with a gear reduction and is said to be very smooth and reliable.
I feel that if imported and marketed that this engine would be an ideal engine
to replace the 503. I have written to the company but have had little luck and
getting them to respond.
Also a consideration is the HKS. Is there any reason that this engine should
not be considered for the KXP. John, your opinion on this would be greatly appreciated.

I've seen them online, but never could get any info. If you really want to
feel like a kid on the wrong side of the glass at the candy display, check
this out:
http://www.uavenginesltd.co.uk/index.php?id=393
They won't sell the engines for use in a manned aircraft, which means that
the UK's legal system must be just as screwed up as ours in the US. I
almost bid on a pallet of 4 surplus AR801R engines a few months ago. Just
stumbled onto it at the last minute, and didn't have enough time to find out
exactly who made them until it was too late. 4 new complete engines went
for something like $12k. Doh! Only one pallet of engines sold, and several
other pallets didn't receive a reserve bid. Never saw them re-appear, and
eventually lost the link to the surplus auction. It was in AZ somewhere
IIRC.
BTW, the rotary engine is not a two stroke, nor is it a four stroke. It's
"rotary" (no strokes). People always try to compare displacements, etc with
those funny piston engines, but there really is no direct way to compare.
I do agree that it would be great if one of the small commercially made
rotaries would become available for use at a reasonable price, but in all
the years I've waited for it, I just don't think it's any closer to being a
reality. Our only alternative is using stock Mazda parts, which will never
quite make it to the weight range of most two strokes. I'm convinced that a
single rotor Mazda conversion can be superior to a 912S though. It would
require some parts that aren't readily available, but I'm planning to build
one (somehow) anyway.

Hi Rusty/Gang:
Do you think we have a requirement for an engine that superior?
I just shut mine down a little while ago. Hour meter read 918.8
hours. So far all this engine has done is satisfy my aviating
requirements. Been 100% reliable. Reckon I can call it a good engine
when the clock hits 3,000.0 hours and she is still going strong. That
is what I'm hoping anyhow.
For a matter of interest, this 912ULS has never quit running on me for
any reason. A first in my flying career. The 912 quit twice. in
1,135.0 hours. Cause: Contaminated fuel. Responsibility: Pilot.
;-(
Take care and good luck on that rotary. I too would like to see an
alternative power source as reliable as a 912 and for 1/4 or 1/3 the
price.

The 912 is a great engine. No denying that. But you have to admit we could
use an engine in the 50 to 60 hp range that is not a 2 stroke and that is
within the wt parameters of planes lighter than a Mark 3. Could that be the
HKS? My KXP weighs about 360. Diamond does make the AE50R for their
motorglider. It comes with fuel injection and it weighs about 80 to 90lb
complete. The engine is certified in Europe. They informed me that they
thought they could come up with one for me with a reduction drive, but that
is the last word I heard from them.

Agree whole heartedly with you. I have no experience with the HKS. I
have watched a bunch of them fly at S&F and OSH. Probably would be a
nice little package for a Firestar.

Do you think we have a requirement for an engine that superior?

How did I know I'd get a message from you John :-)
True indeed that the 912 family is reliable. I can't think of anyone who's
done more to prove that than you have. In fact, I have so immensely enjoyed
your photos, that I wouldn't want you flying anything else :-)
Really, the only downside to the 912 is the high cost, but that happens to
be the best feature for me, since I'm selling mine :-)
Cheers,
Rusty

Hi Kolbers,
Last night we mounted the 912 on Ms. Dixie! We are not happy with the arrangement
of the aluminum angle TNK sent us but it will work for rigging of the fuel
system/oil tank ect... We also needed to have the engine on the airframe with
prop mounted in order to determine the clearance and length of the flaps because
no one has ever built flaps for a Kolbra. Next weekend a friend/A&P is coming
to help me with the wing rigging. I thought I might post some pictures for
you fine people to see what we have been up to.

I've heard that also. Had one in a Mazda rx7. Could not compare it to a
4 cyl. like most mazdas. It had the power of a mid size V8 and drank gas
like one. If you want power you have to pay for it. Usually at the gas
pump.

Kirk Smith: I got a private certificate but no medical. Do I have to get
any paperwork for Sport Pilot
Robert Bean: PPL and a current BFR will do the job.
jerb: For PPL to get your BFI, you have to be pilot in command which
means you have to have a valid medical. To exercise the privileges of
Sport Pilot category under a PPL, can you get a BFI to permit you to
exercise only those privileges.
A few fine print clarifications.
Kirk, it depends on why you have no medical. If it simply expired, all
is well and good. All you need is a current BFR. If it was revoked,
suspended, surrendered, denied, etc. you are SOL. In this case you must
get a waiver from the FAA. For all practical purposes, this will be the
same as getting a medical, including time limits to retest to extend the
waiver. Given enough political pressure this may change in the future.
Jer, not quite. To my shame, I was the instrutor whose nasty questions
forced the FAA to change the BFR regulation to explicitly state a BFR
was a minimum of 1 hour of ground and 1 hour of flight *instruction*.
The upside is the CFI is pilot in command during a BFR (he is liable if
anything goes wrong, FAR violated, etc) and the pilot receiving the BFR
does not need a current medical. Also, there is no type limit to a BFR.
Any will do. You could take yours as a Sport pilot, go get a medical
and immediately fly anything for which you are rated without another BFR.

Hello to all,
We finally got good weather again and I trailered the Wet Fly back out to the
lake. Flight #1 was an easy takeoff and a good landing. Flight #2 was a
bunch of T&Gs. The Firefly is really just a nice little airplane and on floats
it
is even better. Flew over the BIG lake at 10 feet several times turning to
avoid a bunch of boats Spec fishing. Speckled Perch or Crappies. Its really
cool to fly that low and be able land at any moment. I only have about 2 hours
in the Firefly and I feel like I am wearing it already.

| Subject: | 912S package deal for sale |
--> Kolb-List message posted by: "Rusty" <13brv3c@bellsouth.net>
Well boys and girls, since I've made up my mind to pursue the single rotor
engine in the SS, I've got a lot of stuff I don't need anymore. What I'd
like to do, is sell the whole lot as a package deal. This is the easiest
for me, and represents the best value for someone who has their airframe
ready for all the expensive stuff. The plan will be to offer it here first,
then put it on Barnstormers for a while if it doesn't sell here. Only after
that, will I consider breaking up the package. Please send comments, offers,
insults, etc to me off list, at 13brv3c@bellsouth.net .
Thanks,
Rusty (3 rotors, but not all in the same plane)

All of the items below are from Bill Wood's old SS, which was signed off in
April of 2000.
Here's what I've got:
912ULS engine, SN-4425703.
Total time is 232 hours if I recall the last reading on the EIS correctly.
This also matches well with log entries, so I'm sure it's accurate. The
engine is clean, and appears in good shape. It ran well in the 2.5 hours
that I flew it home from MS, and ran well last week when I last ran it. The
engine is now disconnected completely, and ready to be hoisted off the
airframe tomorrow. The engine will come with everything from the rubber
mounts up, including the oil cooler, and radiator, and Titan exhaust. In
fact, I don't plan to take any of this apart if I can help it. It will of
course include the oil reservoir, as well as the throttle/choke cables,
splitters, etc.
2-blade, 72" IVO "medium" prop
This is brand new, and I only ran it once. I got this because the warp prop
was abused, and being 3-blade, wouldn't roll through the door of my garage.
Kuntzleman Hot Box
This will include all the wiring from the plane, as well as the main key
switch, and all other switches, with the exception of the switches on the
stick grip that were set up to control the radio (not included), and EIS
(included below).
Kuntzleman Double Dual Magnum strobes
Control box, wiring, and lights. The plastic lenses aren't in the best
shape on the lights, so some of that might need to be replaced.
EIS
This appears to be a "super size" unit, with the altimeter option added.
It's already pre-programmed for the current engine sensors, and has the
historical hobbs reading for the engine. It was hooked up with a capacitive
fuel sender in one of the tanks (jugs), and was dead accurate. The
capacitive sender is also included, as are the jugs if you'll haul them
away.
The price for the whole package is $10,000. The buyer must make
arrangements to come and get this, since I really don't want to try to pack
the engine and all the other stuff for freight shipment.

Thanks guys,
Looks like all I need then if I get ramp checked is my PPL, logbook with
current BFR, and my drivers license. Simple enough. Kirk

Hi Kirk and all,
A pilot with a PPL or higher certificate is not required to fly with his
pilot logbook with him.
You would need your PPL and valid Driver's License.
The airplane needs it's Registration, Airworthiness Certificate and
Operating Limitations issued by the FAA IAW FAR 91.203.
It is best to carry only the bare requirements. If you carry extra paperwork
and it is incorrect, they can fault you for it.
Happy New Year to all,
John Williamson
