I suspect it's more efficient to spin a larger prop slower, with less pitch, than a smaller prop spinning faster with more pitch. Dennis K do not archive

    Arty, I just flew my Cessna 172 in December from near Sacramento to St. George, Utah, which is fairly close to Monument Valley. I realize you are planning a little different route than I flew, but I believe I have a few pointers that you will want to know.

    Arty: If I was flying a two stroke, I would stay on 95 all the way to Blythe. You can stay clear of Las Vegas control zone. Generally, that is the way I would fly my mkIII if I was going the same destination. I have flown I-10. Should be a good flight to El Paso and San Antonio. See ya'll in May. john h mkIII

    Kolbers, Does anyone have 1 extra 90 degree fitting with the adapter for the oil cooler for a 912rotax? I need just 1 of each and hate to buy the kit at 70 bucks from rotax. I will be happy to buy them and pay the shipping.

    Jim D: Call Travis at Kolb. See if he has a 2d tube that won't qualify for a kit. They usually have some with a few tiny dings in them that do not hurt their strength and serviceability. I have one on my mkIII that has been on there about 14 years and over 2,000 hours. Usually, you can turn the ding to the bottom and no one will ever know the difference between it and a perfect one. john h mkIII

    As you can tell, I'm trying to follow roads as much as possible, both for safety and since Karen will be following us in their truck. (Of course, depending on wind we may be following her!) I'm not sure if I'll have my endorsement to fly into Class B & C airspace by then - so am planning to fly around that. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Tell us about the endorsement, who do you get it from, how do you go about getting it, who needs it, and what is needed in the plane?

    Subject: Hard card received
    Good news came in the mail today. I received my 'hard card,' the registration for my Kolb. I have a few hours worth of work to do, mainly placarding, to get ready for the airworthiness inspection. Fortunately, I've just found a new hangar at my field that is much smaller than the 'barn size' one I'm in now. With only me and one other airplane, it should be -much- easier to heat it to a temperature where I can actually work out there. With an inspector lined up for April, everything should be legal as Church on Sunday by the opening of the flying season. -Ken Fackler Kolb Mark II / N722KM Rochester MI

    From: "Paul Petty" <paulpetty@myway.com>
    Never mind! Travis tha man hooked me up! This brings up an interesting subject tho.... John H John W. and Mark G. all have the same set up. They all needed 3 90's to make the oil cooler work on the back of the fuselage. Rotax sends the engenis out with the straight fittings for the oil pump and cooler. The 90's are an option you have to buy at 70 bucks per 2. My question is who has bought 2 pairs and what did you do with the other 90? May could get together on this and pair up the extra fittings and make some gas money if you guys can find them...or at least help out a fellow builder. On another note travis sent me a few photos of the routing of a plane bryan built that used the straight fittings. And the Rotax hose. I think he said it was MikeB not sure I would like to see more photos of your oil hose routing and type hose used.

    Subject: Re: endorsement to fly into Class B & C airspac
    To fly into Class C or Class B airspace you need an instructor's endorsement in your logbook. To get that you will have to learn to read a sectional so you understand altitude restrictions within the airspace. The classic definition of Class B airspace is the upside down wedding cake. The airspace only goes to the ground in the area around the airport itself. The further you get from the center the higher the floor level of controlled airspace. Approach corridors in and out will have their floor extended downward further from the core than traffic and holding areas. Most flying in the Vfr areas under the veil require only that you have a transponder and have it set to 1200. Without a transponder you have to call ahead and get permission to operate in those Vfr areas. I'm not sure you would be allowed up into controlled airspace without the transponder as each aircraft is assigned a unique code. I learned to fly GA in the Class D airspace of Renton (RNT) which is completely inside the Seatac Class B perimeter and abutts the Class C airspace around Boeing Field (BFI). The normal pattern at RNT was to the east of the runway. When requesting access to the VFR corrider directly over Seatac you asked RNT tower for a Burien turnout. RNT would get you the transponder code and direct you to contact SEA immediately after takeoff. If the wind was from the north you were instructed to use a close in west pattern and you would be very close to the downwind for BFI. The payoff was when Seatac ATC would direct you to climb to 1500 feet and cross the runways at 90 degrees. I never got tired of looking down the approach and seeing jumbos coming right at me.

    Re: pilot endorsements and aircraft equipment requirements for flying into Class B, C, and D airspace: Part 61.325 states: "If you hold a sport pilot certificate and seek privileges to operate a light-sport aircraft in Class B, C, or D airspace, at an airport located in Class B, C, or D airspace, or to, from, or at an airport having an operational control tower, you must receive and log ground and flight training. The authorized instructor who provides this training must provide a logbook endorsement that certifies you are proficient in the following aeronautical knowledge areas and areas of operation: a) The use of radios, communications, navigation system/facilities, and radar services. b) Operations at airports with an operating control tower to include three takeoffs and landings to a full stop, with each landing involving a flight in the traffic pattern, at an airport with an operating control tower. c) Applicable flight rules of part 91 of this chapter for operations in Class B, C, or D airspace and traffic control clearances." AIM 3-2-3, b5(b) & (c) states that in order to enter Class B airspace, the aircraft "unless otherwise authorized by ATC...must be equiped with an operable two-way radio capable of communicating with ATC on appropriate frequencies for that area, and an operable radar beacon transponder with automatic altitude reporting equipment." AIM 3-2-4 c2 (a) & (b) requires the same for Class C airspace. AIM 3-2-5 b2 requires only an operable two-way radio, again unless otherwise authorized by ATC.

    Subject: Re: Seeking feedback on Oregon-Texas-MV route
    Thanks John. Since Hwy. 95 goes slightly west from Winnemucca, in the past I've flown east past Battle Mountain and turn south at Palisade. You follow a nice long, wide valley with a non-busy landable road as well as plenty of dirt and gravel roads. I just haven't been as far south as Blythe - so will talk with Larry about flying south via Austin and Topenah and picking up Hwy. 95 there to Blythe. I think I was a little nervous about staying out of Las Vegas' control zone if we took Hwy. 95 - so it's good to hear from you that it's doable. See you in May at MV!!!
