But, if you'd like first-hand experience for YOURSELF, I have a 68" Powerfin for sale, three-blade, right-hand rotation. Only 25 hrs total time, $375. It's an "F" model, which has fairly wide blades. We'd love to hear about you outperforming your buddy!

It worked great. Got nice and warm. In fact, I would have kept it for the FSII when I sold the plane, but it was a press fit and I didn`t think I could remove it without damage. I also would have had to buy another one because of the dual carbs on the 503. Seemed like a lot of money as they were indeed $300.00 each at that time.

All this talk of carb icing... I had carb heat in my T-Craft, of course, but not in the 503 powered borrowed Quicksilver I was flying until recently, nor the PPG's (and it never seemed to be a problem)... what about the Cuyuna (I'm buying a Cuyuna powered Ultrastar)? Of course an electric carb heater isn't an option on a plane with no electric... -Dana -- -- For people who like peace and quiet: a phoneless cord. ________________________________ Message 12 ____________________________________ Time: 09:21:24 PM PST US From: Dana Hague Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Overhaulin' At 09:34 PM 12/10/2006, robert bean wrote: >Even on a standard category airplane the logs are as important as the plane. >(never could figure why they sometimes "disappear" just like the owner's >manual in a used car you go to buy... WHY did they take it out?)... Not always the owner's fault... I had a T-Craft some 20 years ago. Took it in for annual. They did some engine work, took a jug off (I forget why), then said a piston was cracked (I have reason to believe they dropped it). I got a NOS piston from a surplus parts guy in the next town, they put it back together, then found some corroded longerons.. said they didn't want to work on it any more, and since they didn't complete the job I didn't owe them anything. OK, I flew it back home (it wasn't that bad) so an A&P friend could do the welding for me. I asked for the logs back, they said they couldn't find them, and on top of that they sent me a bill. I never got the logs back... and they never got any money. Less than a year later, the shop was out of business. -Dana -- -- A computer lets you make more mistakes faster than any invention in human history... with the possible exception of handguns and tequila. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message kolb-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Kolb-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/kolb-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/kolb-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
