Once in a Michell B-10 Wiing, I had a very low rumbling sound and some
stick shaking. It was a weird feeling. It came at about 55 mph. I cut
the power and immediiately raised the nose and it stopped. I have not
been over 100 mph in my Mark III Classic and, so far, no shaking.
Wonder if many Kolbers have added counterbalances to their ailerons.
Not a bad idea, but they are not mentioned in my plans. Vic in

| Subject: | Monument valley Red Bull |
Hi All,
I have had a mate of mine in the US checking for confirmation about the
RED BULL Races. He reports that he can find nothing on the web or
through sports calendars. He then rang Gouldings and was answered by a
girl who knew nothing of any Red Bull Races.
I think that any organisation like Red Bull must have major events like
the Air Race fixtures set by now. 5 months is not enough lead time, so
I am crossing my fingers and going ahead with my holiday bookings.
See you there, as John said `God willing and the creek don`t rise`

Vic, My Mk 3 got very mild flutter as low as 70 mph. At 80 it was much more
like Possum describes, but the hinge failures didn't happen, thank the dear
Lord. Even if you get no failures, it pretty much ruins your flying day and
possibly a pair of shorts. Talk to Travis and get them put on, you'll really
like your airplane a whole lot better.

Just doing some "fine tuning"
I have aways had the counter balance rods on the ailerons...
But during "folding & unfolding" I noticed they weren't quite balanced...
The aileron was heavier....so I moved the rod out more....
I think the "old" gap seal affected it before ...
I've never had Flutter , and I hope I never do...

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?

I'm with you. If the electrical system is done right, resistor plugs
don't really help the radio much, and considering the small spark plug
gap that Rotax calls for, the spark plugs apparently need all the energy
they can get, not more resistance.
Yet Rotax specifies them, and lots of people use them, so what do I
know?

Hi guys,
Just thought I would archive this, maybe help somebody from
getting scammed by Aircraft Spruce..... I like them, but this little stunt
really ticks me off....
After the discussion about the Navman 2100.....I noticed that my
miZer also said navman on it.....Then, I noticed how "miZer" was just
a sticker.....
This morning I went out and removed the sticker.....see pictures
So they put a penny sticker on a Navman 2100 and charged $328 for
a $116 dollar gauge...
I hope anybody looking for a Fuel gauge/ Fuel flow meter is warned
by this post NOT to buy a miZer ( unless you just have too much money)

NAPA. Ask for 1/4" OD steel brake line, length as appropriate. Cut off the

| Subject: | Re: Navman 2100 or miZer scam |
Couple of years ago, I asked around about this... The Mizer people claim
that their transducer (i.e., the device that the gas actually flows through)
is better than the one that comes with the Navman device. They claimed the
Navman had a higher differential pressure between the incoming and outgoing
flow and that that could make a difference.
Now, I used a Navman for 2 years in a RANS S12XL w/ 503 without a single
blip, so even if Mizer does have a better transducer, I don't think it's
necessary for our installations.
More importantly, if they are TRULY using a better transducer, then they may
be justified in raising the price. Then the decision is our as to whether
the better transducer is worth the extra money. In my opinion, it's not,
which is why I bought a Navman for my Kolb.

P.S. A fuel flow meter, in my humble opinion, while not a critical
instrument like an air speed indicator or CHT gauge, it ranks right up there
with the 2nd layer of important instruments. I had a situation with my RANS
that was very subtle, once caused an engine-out on climb-out (no resulting
damage) and would have been impossible to figure out had I not had the
Navman in place. By seeing that, only in high flow situations, my fuel flow
wasn't what it had been and should be, I was able to narrow down the problem
to my electric fuel pump. Turned out one of the check valve balls in it got
stuck and was restricting the flow, but during most situations, it wasn't
noticeable. Only once, during a full-throttle climb-out, did I use up more
fuel than could be supplied, and thus the engine-out. There were a few
times when I was flying straight-and-level at full throttle that it seems
the engine wasn't quite getting ample fuel (a microsecond hesitation, from
time to time), and the Navman helped me figure it out. I highly recommend
you put one in your UL/LSA, if you at all can.

Rick, We've only got about an inch or so far, but the winter storm watch
doesn't end until tomorrow so we may do better. I was able to get the side
door open, so I got to commune with the Kolb and listen to the sound of ice
on the metal roof. I patted her on the tailboom and told her spring is
coming. Good day to do something indoors.

I called ACS&S to find out about this scam...
I gave my cust number, but she had "No Record" of me buying a miZer
I asked her if she was searching back very far...she said yes , 2004...
She wanted to know if I had the reciept , I said of course , you build a plane
you save reciepts....( I had to look for it )
I called back , luckly I talked to the same person....
Now I had the reciept....( purchased 06-01-2004 )it wasn't matching anything that
she had,
Something is real funny here....and I don't mean Ha ha....
It's like they knew it was fraud, so things were being covered up ???
I don't know but I have to call back Monday to talk with a different customer
service person....
I told them I want something done about this , I'm not gonna take this...
If they can't straighten it out with me....Then I'll spread the word

Or to keep it light, just make it from 1/4" aluminum tubing. Van's
RV-x's just use a standard aviation flare fitting on the bottom of the
wing with a short length of tubing bent at a right angle to get below
the high pressure under the wing & then point forward into the airstream.

If you stick yer pitot tube out the front of the nose bowl, put a
small pc. of plastic tube as a transition pc between the short end
coming out, and the longer pitot part. This way the pitot won't break
if some little fingers wiggle it, or a coat grab it passing by.

I believe all you need is a straight piece of tubing, 5/16" OD or so.
It worked for me.

Go to your local AC/Heating supplier. They sell about a 2ft roll of 1/4 OD
aluminum tubing. Works Great.

A piece of alum tubing stuck in the nose is what I plug the pitot line
into from the airspeed indicator. The static port is now routed to just
about a foot back from the instrument panel about where the negative
pressure from the nose cone and the positive pressure from the fuselage
tube meet. It seems to be pretty accurate now. Before, I routed the
static port line, I use to get an airspeed error of about 3 mph at stall
and about a 7 mph at cruise due to the building vacuum caused by the
shape of the nose, doors and windshield.

Hi Mike,
I was looking at your picture and noticed you had a EIS. Just wondering why
didn't you get the fuel flow/gauge option with your EIS? I have it on my
FireStar and it work great.

Re: Gas quantity. In my Mark III Classic, I can see the fuel level in
the starboard tank, so I made fuel selector valves to direct the fuel
injection return line to either tank. So, when the fuel level gets low
in the starboard tank I run off some from the port tank. When the port
tank is empty, I can see how much fuel that is left. Not fancy, but it
works. Also, I carry a small mirror for seeing things behind me such as
elevator and rudder movement and other traffic. It also helped in
trimming the flaps and ailerons to be able to see them under flight
loads.

Too bad that you are not near Reno. The FAA office there has a very
helpful inspector named Don Morgan. He is a credit to the FAA and is
appreciated by many experimental and sport aircraft builders in the
California and Nevada areas.

I will talk to Travis about the counter balancers for the ailerons. One
reason that I have not, as yet, had aileron flutter is because I set my
ailerons up slightly to get some reflex in the wing. That adds a small
down load on them at higher speeds. I do not know where the neutral
load is, but I would guess it is about 5 mph above stall speed. My
fears are with high speed flutter. In fact, now that I think about it,
my Mk III acts kind of funny just above stall speed. Maybe that is why
because aileron movement will aggravate yaw. Next time that I get that
funny feeling, I will look out at the ailerons and see if they are
moving. In some flight testing films on flutter, sometimes the flutter
cannot be seen and the control surface just leaves the aircraft. It is
a bad situation.

Or to keep it light, just make it from 1/4" aluminum tubing. Van's
RV-x's just use a standard aviation flare fitting on the bottom of the
wing with a short length of tubing bent at a right angle to get below
the high pressure under the wing & then point forward into the airstream.
