Arty (Trost) and group,
You mentioned that you know of a guy that was fined $4000 by the FAA.
Would you happen to have a case number that we could check. We have
many pilots that are not transitioning to SP that believe the FAA
will not enforce the rule due to lack of manpower or other reasons.
They are looking for a proof of enforcement. If you could provide
some proof, it may have an impact on them.
Thanks,
Ralph Burlingame

I don't have a case number - but you should be able to
track it down. It happened in Nampa, ID within the
past 18 mo. The fine was related to a BFI flying a
legitimate ultralight trainer over congestion to get
into Nampa Airport (where many ultralights are based.)
My understanding is that this happened even though the
Nampa Airport commission had approved a flight pattern
for ultralights and have good relationships with the
ultralighters. Under Sport Pilot - you CAN fly over
congestion.
By the way - my operating limitations (issued with my
airworthiness certificate in November, 2006) specify
that I can fly over congestion for purposes of landing
and taking off. In July, that limitation was changed
(and apparently I need to ask the FAA at our FSDO to
change my operating limitations to reflect current
regs) so that a E-LSA can fly over congestion even
when not required for taking off or landing.
Ralph, I have to add that I too have my doubts that
the FAA will have the staff to enforce Sport Pilot.
My understanding is that nationwide there are fewer
than 700 pilots transitioning themselves or their
"fat" ultralights. Quicksilver is running full-page
ads in Light Sport and Ultralight Flying! urging
people to transition, saying that there are at least
4500 Quick owners who still need to transition. (Of
course, we don't know how many of those are still
flying or still have planes, not pieces!)

Regarding pilots getting their SP, I attended an
after-the-business-meeting
beer drinking fest with the members of RUFF (rochester ultralight fun
flyers)
on wednesday night. There are several Kolb owners, 3 MkIIIs, some FSs.
Two have gotten their SP this past summer and more are working on it or
intending. Good bunch and I hope to fly along with them in the future.

That's a bit different from the original discussion about enforcement of
overweight machines when everything else is compliant. They've pursued
congested area or open air assembly violations whenever anybody
complains. There have even been a number of recent enforcement cases
against PPG's for congested area violations (including one case where they
interpreted a busy road that a pilot crossed as a congested area).

True, they don't have the manpower to do widespread enforcement. However,
they can (and I suspect they will) take random "potshots" to make examples
of a few, like checking every plane at a few busy ultralight fields.
I think there will be a LOT more than 700 pilots transitioning... a lot of
them are simply waiting until the last minute, or until they hear of
enforcements starting.

Dana:
Don't believe there is any such animal as an overweight ultralight
vehicle. Soon as they hit 254 lbs, they are now aircraft/airplanes.
I flew illegally, for the first six years of my UL career, in all the
States east of the Mississippi and some west of it. Also illegally
into Canada. I was never comfortable in this position for two
reasons: 1-Was contantly breaking the law, 2-Could not get liability
insurance. However, I rationalized that since I looked like an UL and
if I flew without drawing attention to myself, which I did not do a
good job of, I would be ok.
Stop for a moment and think about the high dollar airplanes one is
mingling with at almost any local airport. Accidently ding a Cessna
Citation and pay for it the rest of your life.
1992, I realized how much more comfortable I was flying my
experiemental/homebuilt registered airplane with insurance. Did not
have to constantly look over my shoulder.
Take care,

If there are only 700 transitions, we seem to have a large number of them
right here. There are three on my home field, all Kolbs, and I seem to
recall several others here who announced their recent successes including
the late Dave Pelletier. I also know one other recent SP, yet another Kolb
owner, but who isn't based at my airport.
Surely there must be more than 700?

| Subject: | Re: Best Oil Filter for the 912 |
Hi John,
There is nothing wrong with the Rotax filter #825-701 which is a Mahle
OC 11. It is a good filter and used on Ducatti motorcycles. I only offered up options
based on good research. I know you have used the TG3614 for years and so
have I, but new info has made me change. The Pure One is the same physical size
as the Fram TG 3614 and it is a better filter in construction and filter medium.
There is also a difference in the plain old Fram filter and the Tough Guard.
The Tough Guard is better.
That being said the Pure One PL10241 has far more filter medium and has a very
good synthetic medium.
The top three filters on that list are really good filters and you couldn't go
wrong using any of them. These are just options. The TG3614 is just a average
filter, but still ok since we change oil so often.

Roger L:
Was hoping you would give us some numbers/data/tests so we could see
what the differences are in the filters that were examined and tested.
Bypass valve release pressure is very important if one is operating in
cold climates. When the engine and oil is cold, is when the oil
pressure can overpower the bypass valve and dump dirty oil and crud
back into the system.
I have looked at several comparisons, two different sites, but not
come to any conclusive evidence. Most of it is preference on the
examiners/comparers part.

Hi John,
The "safety valve bypass pressure" is important, but all the filters listed are
at 12 psi or 13 psi. The Pure One, Fram Tough Guard and the Mobile 1 start at
12 psi and they are full open at 15 psi. The Mahle starts at 13 psi and is full
open at 15.9 psi. Talking to the engineers and reading the articles 1 psi made
no real difference. The springs are not that exact and can differ slightly
even between filters with the same number. The cold morning problem should not
be an issue for most people that use the proper viscosity (usually multi viscosity
is better) and a good grade oil as in the semi and full synthetics. Poreability
is down into the low -30 to -50 F and if it's that cold I want to watch
a guy go fly and open or semi open Kolb. Most of the really cold climate guys
use some type of an engine or oil heater anyway. If your filter is that clogged
then you have a more serious problem to worry about or have done something
seriously wrong.

Paypal is a big company with a good reputation. I have used them for years, and
use them a LOT, never the slightest problem. As Eugene said, if you got ripped
off, you probably did something wrong.
Phishing is done all the time - Crooks imitate banks, paypal, and all sorts of
legitimate companies. If someone rips you off by representing themselves as
Citibank, its not the fault of the bank. Just as paypal is not repsonsible for
every crook that manages to talk people out of thier money using their name.

| Subject: | Rotax 912-S Users, What RPM do you look for on takeoff ? |
I have been reading the Rotax manual and it says the RPM limit is 5500 - 5800 for
only one minute, with no limitation below 5500 RPM. Are you guys proping your
planes to takeoff and climb out below 5500 RPM at full throttle ? Or are you
seeing higher RPM's than that in the climb and pulling the power back before
you exceed one minute ? Will the engine last longer if it is setup to run under
5500 RPM no matter what the throttle setting ?
Thanks,

Things seem to be a bit slow on the list, so I thought that I would
relate my flight today. If you saw the admittedly poor quality video
that I posted to Google you can see that the area here is high Desert
with a pretty spectacular Owyhee Canyon cutting through it. My primary
purpose in life since my retirement is flying a Firestar and two
Peregrine Falcons. Sometimes the Firestar plays a pretty important part
in the other pursuit. What I am scouting for is Sage Grouse, and their
primary predator is the Golden Eagle, so the best way to find them is
about 25 feet above the ground. They loose their nerve and flush, there
by revealing their presence.
I was actually hoping to get to Boise today to get a start on my SP lic,
but the CFI already had another guy lined up, and one coming in from
Wyoming for tomorrow. Guess I will have to wait a while. So since it was
such a great day, I gassed up and rolled her out. I wanted to do a
little more scouting for places to fly the falcons. About the only thing
left to hunt is Sage Grouse, and it takes so long to get anywhere here
that the chance to cut down on the scouting time is welcome. Karen and
I drove 103 miles across unknown Desert yesterday on some pretty poor
"two track" roads looking for birds and saw nothing while managing to
burn the whole day. There is a route along the Owyhee canyon that I have
tried twice to cover and run out of time. Today I cut straight across
country in the plane and found that it was a bust as well. It used to be
a good wintering area for the Grouse, but it was burned this year (69000
acres). I didn't know how far the burn extended so this was a chance to
actually get it surveyed while having fun too. The roads were a mess
with the warm weather and the Bureau of Land Management driving it every
day going in there to replant after the burn. By spring it will be a
nice grass land that holds no game. :-/
I cut across the River and went up a side canyon that I like, called
Bogus Basin. Found that the little camera that I was carrying had dead
batteries, so settled down to some terrain flying going up a little
frozen creek to see where it went. It headed up with two really nice
ponds that were thawed and full of Ducks. I might not be able to use it
this year, but next year it will be a great place to hunt the birds. If
it gets cold enough I still may be able to access it this year. My fuel
had about reached half way so I followed a road that I thought lead to
Rome, (all roads go there don't they?) That is a little community on Hwy
95 where it crosses the Owyhee River. It would be a short cut to me
going to Bogus Basin. At Rome there is a large amount of Pheasants, and
I think that I can get permission to fly them occasionally. I checked
the fields and found at least 30 or more rooster Pheasants.
After that I headed for home, going up the Hwy. I wonder what the
drivers thought of me flying about 75 feet above the road and matching
their speed. Then buzzing the house just above the wires at about 80
plus and down on the runway. When I got back at the hanger I found that
the back tank had seemed to draw almost all of the gas from it. ( They
are teed together) I had more than 3 gals in the front tank and about
1.5 in the back tank.
I took the pickup tube out and blew it out, but could really find
nothing wrong with it. Perhaps it is pinched. I have one of the filter
pickups on the tubing, but it also has an alum. pickup tube that may
well be too long. I will check that tomorrow. My flight was 1 hour and
35 minutes. I didn't have the rear curtains on and the temps were in the
20's. My feet did get a bit cold, my face was chilled a bit at first,
but seemed to get used to it. A trip to the hot tub and a beer soon put
me right again.
