It is common practice in aircraft that have an engine driven fuel pump to
also have an electric back up pump in the event the engine driven pump
fails.
Also most folks only use the boost pump in the pattern and at low altitudes
where if the primary fails there is no time to turn on the back up.

I use a Facet electric fuel pump in addition to the standard pump. I have a
pressure gauge between the Facet and the regular pump to tell me if the
Facet is working. As part of the runup, I turn the Facet off and make sure
the engine will run normally on the regular pump. Once I know that, I turn
the Facet back on (which pops the fuel pressure gauge back up to around 3
pounds) and leave it on for the whole flight.
I feel that not using the electric fuel pump all the time is sort of like
folks who don't turn on their headlights in the rain, but only use their
parking lights. Why? I don't save my headlights for just night time, and I
don't save my fuel pump for just takeoff and landing, I want maximum
reliability all the time. Maybe I am just getting too old for that "sudden
silence" adrenalin rush...

......... I noticed at the Kolb home coming that most of the Mark 3's
were running a electric
..........boast pump.
Belt and suspenders. I am laying out my fuel system and intend to use a
backup pump. Check the archives; there is a ton of information about
them.
Do not archive.

I've used the Icom A-3/A-22 radios for several years with no problems.
Get
the sport version that uses AA batteries and run the radio off the plane's
power. Take the battery pack off and store it along with the rubber duck
antenna somewhere in the plane for when you want to use it as a portable.
You then have a radio that takes up very little space.

As I have never heard of either Spider bait or Radiohead I assume the
they are bands. I wonder why they didn`t try some bands that actually
play music. Louis Armstrong, Goodman,Miller, Dorsey...

Vince,
How much time expired on each test? I am interested in the sink rate.
Your plane is similar to mine. I have a 68" two blade IVO.

My wife won't fly with me, either! She says there's no fuel like an
old fuel.

Hi John, did you change your web address? I've tried to get on your site to
look at your pictures with no luck. Really enjoyed them! Also, does the
factory still have those pictures available for viewing, that they posted right
after the homecoming? Tia, best regards. Dave Culver

| Subject: | 72" Prop on Firestar II |
--> Kolb-List message posted by: "Domenic Perez" <perezmdomenic@plateautel.net>
Vince Nicely,
How did you get a 72" prop to fit on a Firestar II with 503? Was it as simple
as putting big spacers somewhere? How much higher than standard is your thrustline?
Since your's is an Ivo, does the standard Ivo 4" (?) hub spacer work,
or does it take a longer one for such long blades to leave the trailing edge
unchopped? What is your gear ratio? Finally, is the high thrust line any big deal
when flying?
Thanks,
M. Domenic Perez
FS II, 503 DCDI, Ivo 66" two blade (and no way would a 72" fit on mine without
jacking up the engine a lot), 2.58 B gearbox
