Jeremy, you may have already done this, but have you looked at the Rotax Installation manual (assuming your Rotax powered that is) under wiring (see http://www.rotax-aircraft-engines.com/ under documentation), as it shows both battery and no battery configurations, but you would need a regulator...

shut off valve>>
Hi,
When I built my Challenger the requirement was for a cut off valve which
could be operated from the cockpit. Unfortunately I forgot it and the
inspector who was checking on the building didn`t mention it until the
plane was almost finished
We contrived a very snazzy system operated through bowden cables which
turned a cock fitted on the bulkhead just before the carbs.
Cheers
Pat

I've heard that mounting your strobe high up on your vertical fin offers
the best overall visibility for a single-point location. I mounted my
Kuntzleman strobe on the leading edge of the fin, near the top.

| Subject: | Re: Wing center section questions |
One thing you will need to check before you use Possums method, is whether
your wings are the same distance apart front and back. I didn't build my
plane, (probably would not have been any straighter if I had) but there was
about 3/4 inch difference wider in the back of the wing. It was very tight
to get in, and not supported in the back. A wider runner would have solved
the problem, however I didn't notice until I had already mounted the
runners.

| Subject: | Question About Dave Pelletier |
Folks,
I've been asked a question about Dave Pelletier, and I don't know the
answer. I've been asked if Dave Pelletier was an amputee. Since I've
never seen a picture of Dave, I don't know the answer. I'd be very much
surprised if he was, since I talked to Mike, the night before they went
flying, and after he had met Dave. Mike never mentioned that Dave was an
amputee, and I think he might have noticed.
Can someone tell me for certain? Thanks!

No. The sister of Mike Maikowski, who died in the crash with Dave, heard a
rumor that Dave Pelletier was an amputee. She couldn't understand how an
amputee could be a pilot. I'm not sure just what the FAA's stand is on
amputee pilots.
I figured it was just a crazy rumor, about Dave, and I wanted to put it to
rest.

That's probably how the rumor got started. A missing eye becomes a missing
arm or leg.

| Subject: | Fuel Bubbles caused by Fuel Filter, Which filter do you use? |
I am having intermittent fuel bubbles that I think are being caused by my fuel
filter. Attached are two pictures, the first shows the lines with no bubbles,
but the filter always runs with just a little fuel in the bottom. Picture #2
shows the bubbles that intermittently go out of the filter, there are lots of
them and they are big. I never see bubbles in the intake to the filter...
The hose fittings to the filter are perfect, and I beleive the air is comming
from around the large part of the filter where the joint is.
I like this clear filter that lets me see what is going on, but it if is cheap
and prone to leaks I will switch to another type. What filters do you guys like
to use for the 912-S ?

Any way you can mount the filter so that no air can collect in it? Like
have the inlet side to the bottom, and the outlet side at the top? And then
see what happens?

| Subject: | Re: Kolb trainers/dealers! |
I got my first rating at Spartan back in 75...I have not accumulated as much time
in those 30 plus years as alot of fellas, but I have been at the Helm of alot
of different birds From Weedhoppers to Beech 18s..and even got a little time
in a Lockheed P-38...back when you could rent one. (Yes...there is only one
thing more thrilling than running the throttle on an Allison....and thats wrapping
your fist around 2 of em!)
Still, after I built a Kolb...I just didnt feel I had the experience to safely
test fly it without at least a ride in one with a competent pilot.
Maybe I could have handled it ok....Maybe not.
I will say that upon retrospect, It was the first pusher I had attempted with such
a high thrust line...and it was...and still is a little unusual in the handling
dept when you work the throttle up and down. A very different response on
the airframe than anything I had ever had the opportunity to command. Not bad
mind you, just different.
I also know how hard it is to set around and look at newly aquired airplane waiting
to get a checkride. I was lucky to find a sky gypsy flying a Kolb who was
passing thru and he was good enough to give me a ride. I am real glad he did...that
FireFly probably would not have killed me...but I could have easily bent
it and hurt myself in the process.
Alot of the FAA's rules are good ones and created with safety in mind. The Check
ride rule I think is about the best one. It may not legally apply to non-regulated
air vehicles, but that does not mean its not a good idea.
I have no problem recommending at least a check ride to anyone who has not flown
a Kolb....or any unfamiliar design. It is what I did...would do...and will do
again when I want to try something new.
It doesnt cost much and cannot hurt a thing..compared to what the risk is.
Stay safe...someone might be depending on you for something you need to be healthy
to accomplish.
Thanks again to that old flying Gypsy!

I got my call from the FAA today on my inspection. Next May is the
soonest he can get to it. Of course I can go hire a DAR at $500 to do my
inspection. I've allready waited 3 month on the registration. I talked
to a guy the other day & it took him longer to get the plane registered
& flying than it took to build.

| Subject: | Re: Kolb trainers/dealers! |
The FAA has good programs. Check rides are a good idea and have saved
many an airplane and pilot. However, I have found nothing wrong with
self check outs. Yes, they take many hours of taxing and later crow hop
etc. But, if you are expert in ground handling, then there is little
left to learn when airborne. Landings and takeoffs are situations where
ground handling is important. I now have over 40 hours in my Kolb Mark
III Classic and only 18 hours of flight time. I learned and have taught
ground loops in Cubs, Citabrias, Chiefs and Kolbs. Ground loops are
bad, but controlled ground loops are very good practice for the real
thing. The Kolbs are forgiving airplanes, but they are still to be
respected. The answer to safety is practice, practice, practice. Like
Bob Hoover once admitted that he had 37 controlled crashes (that was
about 20 or more years ago). He tried to impart the importance of
planning ahead. Learn your airplane because they all fly somewhat
differently. Know it's limitations and enjoy the beauty of flight
safely. Flying in a Kolb is one of the most beautiful ways to enjoy the
true essence of the beauty of flight.

I'm haveing trouble with my trottle cable wanting to buckle instead of
go back to idle. You are fighting the springs that want to go full
trottle on the carbs and the drag in the cable system. The 1/16" cable
that comes stock with the plane wants bend right at the swivel on the
trottle. My buddy with the Highlander went & spent $150 for a heavy duty
1/8" cable to solve his problem. He also disconected the springs on the
carbs. How has other people with Kolbs flying the 912's solved this
problem? Rick Pearce Kolb MK3C

| Subject: | Ignition noise leaks |
QUOTE FROM ROBERT LAIRD: "A good ICOM or Vertex handheld radio should be
more than adequate for your needs... The rubber ducky antenna -- assuming
you don't have any ignition noise leaks on your plane -- is quite good for
airport and plane-to-plane communication."
This leads me off on a tangent about the "ignition noise leaks". My
handheld Yuasa worked okay in my 503-powered Firestar II for years, but then
got so that when I transmit, all I seem to put out is engine noise.
(Reception is still okay). I had the radio overhauled with no improvement.
Could something have changed about the engine -- i.e., an "ignition noise
leak" that wasn't there before? If this is a possibility, what should I
look for?

Been flying 912 and the S on my mkIII since 1994. Never had a
problem. I use one short cable from throttle to splitter under the
left seat. The two long cables, one to each carb. Try to keep my
curves as large as possible. Grease the cables before I put the
system together.

This is a long shot, but call EAA & ask if there is a Homebuilt DAR in
your area. This is a relatively new program so there aren't many out
there yet. However, if you can find one nearby all they can charge is
expenses.

Well, sure... your spark plug wires/caps will decay over time and cause
radio noise leaks (and other bad stuff). Your grounding could be
degrading... all kinds of possibilities, unfortunately.

Lee:
A couple neglected items:
1-antenna coax cable. Make sure it is in good shape, as well as the
BNC connectors. Check it out with a good multimeter.
2-headset. I blamed my buddys' poor radios for my inability to hear
them clearly. Come to find out my headset wire was inop. Changed
headsets to the DRE6000 ANR and my radio problems went away.

I guess what we need to know is, what sort of electrical stuff does the
airplane have on it? If we eliminate what it doesn't have, then it is easier
to focus on possible problems.

Can do. Excellent idea. Photo is attached.
Mike loved to fly more than anyone I've ever known.
After all the rough weather and rougher terrain he and I successfully
navigated over the last 36 years, I can't believe he died while doing
touch
and goes in a plane equipped with a ballistic parachute under perfect
weather conditions at a local airport.
It's like hearing that Chuck Yeager slipped on a banana peel and was
killed.

| Subject: | radios, capacitor and observations on dead stick |
I was finally able to fly today to check out my radio problems. I
replaced my coax cable and since I haven't been to town, (Boise- 130
miles) I flew without a capacitor. I had not been able to do so before
because I was waiting for some tire tubes and a new battery. The radio
worked just like it always had. The wife could hear a lot of exhaust
noise, but no static. My reception was good as well. The radio that she
was using needed a new battery, but this was the first time I could hear
her while flying. I think I am going to look into a base station for the
place. Any good deals out there?
Since I had a new battery and in air restarts were possible, I took it
up to 1000 agl cut the engine and established a glide, then checked to
see how much altitude I lost in making a 180 turn. One thing that I
noticed was that I really had to watch my air speed. I came dangerously
close to holding too much up stick several times. As near as I could
figure I lost close to 500 feet in just making a 180. This follows what
had been posted on the list before, so it isn't new. However hearing and
seeing are two different things. I am going to redo this until I get to
the point that I know without looking what is too low.
