    << ... one of the concessions of having the races there is the airport will be paved. Boyd >> That's curious. As most of the MV regulars know, one of the unique features of the runway at Monument valley it that it is half paved, half dirt. (Actually, one-fourth paved, three-fourths dirt.) I understood the reason for this was because the paved part was on Goulding's (private) property, and the rest of is on Navajo reservation land. And although the Navajos allowed Goulding's runway to extend into "their" land, their stipulation was that it remain unpaved. I guess they changed their minds. Dennis Kirby Do not archive

    Neat video !! I just went to Sun and Fun and saw the the HKS is being used on a lot of very small planes, mostly weight shift trikes... The HKS is getting a reputation for being a reliable, smooth running, light engine. The HKS looks like the perfect engine for the Firestar, and its not that much more expensive than a new 503 and gearbox....

    First, let me say that I am a buyer/flyer not a builder/flyer. Purchased a MKIII a year and a half ago and have been having a ball. I believe it is the first one out of the TN plant. Saturday I went out for a flight and had an EIS warning light come on--- voltage. Currently the EIS is set for 11.2 to 14.6 volts acceptable range. I was running 16.2 to 17.4. Are the set points correct? Where should I start trouble shooting? What are the consequences of the high voltage?

Even if they bus the 5000 to the airshow location,,,,, where are they going to park that many cars? As for the paving.... wonder if they will extend the parking ramp? And more tie downs? And I guess the Navaho Nation has come to realize that the airport brings in additional revenue and visitors to the park. Boyd

Are the set points correct? Where should I start trouble shooting? What are the consequences of the high voltage? I think I would set the lower range to 11.8V the 14.6 seems ok. Lead acid batteries are considered discharged at 11.8 V If you are running 16.2 to 17.4 the first thing I would do is compare it to another volt meter, if it is still that high I would check the battery, or the voltage regulator/ rectifier. I would compare the voltage without starting up the engine... no need of having the last test be the one to let the smoke out. You do know about the smoke don't you,,,,, the factory fills all electronics with smoke before they sell them.... if you let the smoke out they quit working. the consequences of the high voltage could include smoking the eis, that would be an expensive puff of smoke,,, it could also damage radios, gps, etc, if they are using onboard power. It could even destroy the battery by over charging it and boiling out the electrolyte. Mine has always read 13.8 while running. [Boyd]

    You ought to check your regulator/rectifier. High voltage is what happens when it goes out. Easy to replace. High voltage can damage instruments, radios and batteries. They are not expensive and it stands a high probability for the cause. I wouldn't fly it or run it any more than you have to until it's fixed. -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az.

    11.2 to 14.6 would be a good normal. As far as trouble shooting, what engine are you running? What regulator/rectifier? Can't second guess the unknown, at least from this end... As far as the consequences - probably something like fried avionics, battery with water boiled away (check it first), stuff like that.

Then cut metal to each of the holes so channels can be contoured to the wi ng. Drill and install channels with 2" spacing to IB side of IB wing ribs with 1/8" rivets. Lay 0.020 sheet metal on top of wings and mark along each channel (I think it is 6061 aluminum =93thin, but kind of stiff). Add approximately 1/2" to each side of these marks and cut (You don=99t h ave to get too tight of a fit here). Now cut a section of 1 112" tubing to fit between wing LE tubes. Hold tube in position and slide gap seal LE on tube and rivet in place. Cut a 1" long piece of 1 1/2" aluminum tube. Then cut out 1/4" gap, as you did makin g rear spar splices. Slide this piece into wing LE tube with Epoxy applied a nd use sheet metal screws to attach the forward corners of gap seal to wing LE tubes. The doubler makes a better thread for the sheet metal screws(drill larger hole in gap seal for screw). I did mine a little different here and just used one tube over the ends of the LE tubes that stick out about 2 inch es on my plane. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------ ________________________________________________________________________ AOL at AOL.com.

I just meant that the needles on each gage should be set so they are the same. i.e. When you have 5 on one gage you adjust the other carb so the needle on that gage is 5 or what ever the reading maybe on each gage.

    Guys, Im trying to make a decision. Your input will help me make the right one. Has any one ran a 447 to 100 hours without a decarbon using pennzoil? Has anyone had a 447 fail due to carbon under the rings before reaching 100 hours while using Pennzoil air cooled exclusively? PLEASE, No oil war! If you have experience That falls in either of these categories, I would like to have your imput, otherwise please dont respond. Thanks in advance.

    16.2 volts is way to high, you should never see it that high. You will fry something in short order with a voltage that high. I would not fly the plane until the voltage problem is fixed.

    You wont get carbon buildup if you use Seafoam :) I asked a similar question in the Rotax Forum and got some good information. I did not ask about oil, but I did get a lot of responses on engine life. You might want to look at this thread. It got broken into 4 threads, but some good information if you read them all. http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?t=23615 Mike -------- &quot;NO FEAR&quot; - If you have no fear you did not go as fast as you could have !!!
