Dennis and George,
Thanks for the input and photos. I feel better about the idea of open trailering
after seeing the pics. I love the aircraft cover idea. That is a must have
item for the long hauls I think. The Kolb I'll be getting is coming from Dallas,
TX to the Minneapolis area so I would like to have it protected. Has anyone
used a commercial transporter to move an aircraft?

I'd like to go on that trip, now we're down to 1/3rd the gas-----glad
the humor hasn't deserted this forum, anyway-----I miss some of the
technically informed who've opted out, like Topher and Honda Don.
While looking around at other hose clamps in the McMaster Carr reference
(thanks Charlie) I found "ear clamps". They don't go quite small enuf
(in McM-C) to cover the 1/8 fuel line application, which is the one I'm
most concerned about------but the ones used for the 1/16 oil injection
tubing on my 503 might work. Don't know why I didn't think of them
B4----this old age stuff creeps up on you, wonder how bad off I'll be
when I get as old as some ex-chopper pilot from AL?

Most any Kolb could probably BACK in to #2 wire...even #1. Reminds me

Hi All,
Received my Winter ASI today.
There is a part in the box that looks like it would make a good "Pot" pipe.
Must be for either the pitot or static hookup. Can anyone tell me which?

That is the pitot. However, you can use any straight tube for a pitot
if you wish.
I have a Winter and use a PT-17 pitot/static system, vintage WWII.

John H,
I assume that the bowl portion faces the front as a pitot tube. However is
very short.
Seems I've read that the pitot tube should stick out into air that's not
disturbed by the fuselage or wing.
Then again I suppose, if extended out most of the length of the stem (about
3") it would be past the boundary layer and wouldn't stick out where someone
would be likely to bump it.
Also has a much larger opening (7/16" ID) then say a 5/16" alum tube. Would
that provide a more accurate ram air source ???

John R:
Don't think the diameter of the pitot tube matters. Large or small
diameter, they all give you the same pressure indication.

Frank,
I went to the hangar today. I put seafoam into the back cylinder
and let it soak while I replaced my strobe light. I then ran the 447 on the
plugs that were in it already. My RPMs were at 6030 tied down. That was up
from 5970. I put in new BR8ES plugs and fired her up.She went right on up to
6270 rpms. That is only 20 rpms less than what I got when I originaly set the
IVO. Ran great on the way to another airstrip about 9 miles away. The old
plugs were very clean looking with a hint of light brown grey on them, but the
new plugs bumped the rpms up another 240 . You were right on! Thanks for
your input!

Unless you are having static problems with your radio, lose the BR8ES
plugs and go with B8ES instead. The extra resistance certainly does not
not improve the spark, and unless you are having radio hash noise, you
don't need the extra resistance.
