    Boyd, Is this the jump start at Harbor Freight you are talking about? http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=91045 Or perhaps this one? http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=38391 Thom in Buffalo

    From: "John Bickham" <gearbender@bellsouth.net>
    A few people asked for some pictures of the reapirs and mods to my MIIIC. Again, very few are original ideas. Got a lot of help and advice from Hauck brothers, John Williamson, Steven Green, etc. Pictures are low resolution for speed and memory load. If you need better or more detail let me know. Got about 6 hours on the old girl. Plane is flying a lot better than the pilot right now. One thing is really neat. Don't know how much is new rudder trim tab or that hard landing "adjustment" but the old "Kolb left roll" has dissappeared. She flies hands off, never did that. Can't explain why, not asking, just counting another blessing. Also learned last night, that in just the right situation, a Garmin 196 will but noise in your radio. If the antennae wires and the units get too close together. Having a blast again, Living the Dream. -------- Thanks too much, John Bickham Mark III-C &quot;Using my Repairman Certificate&quot; St. Francisville, LA Do Not Archive Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=111777#111777 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/tailbrace_138.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/seat_110.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/patch_to_repair_two_slits_152.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/new_instrument_panel_134.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/fuel_cone_979.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/may_5_2007_mods_015_207.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/may_5_2007_mods_018_336.jpg

    Bryan, it's not far away, but it's not Homer's place. He lives on Wall St., which roughly parallels Rt. 724 and runs from Spring City to Phoenixville between 724 and the Schuylkill River.

    HA HA Scott! I have 4 of the vents that go in the lexan. I havent cut the holes yet. My buddy Scott Swear says he made the perfect tool to cut the holes so Im waiting on him. I hit a snag last night. Hooked up the flaps and they work great, hooked up the ailerons and my push/pull tubes appear to be about 2" to long.

    Subject: battery for kolbs....
    Hi Boyd, Despite the naysayers, many economy batteries are just as good as their more expensive counterparts with similar design (size, plate count, etc). with 3 years and counting on the first,,,,, at $18.00 a pop.... = not bad service. Like I said,,,, only down side... long delivery time. Boyd

If I remember correctly John H. said that he was using the 12AH battery with the new style starter on his 912s.. I bought my jump starts over 3 years ago when they had a good sale going.... I think what had happened they had got a new supply in and wanted to get rid of the old stock..... when they ran out of the old stock,,, they substituted it with the new stock... I probably forgot to mention.... the jump start also included a very small air compressor.... along with the battery charger (110V that turns itself off when charged) the first link shows the 110 v power cord for the charger, the second link does not show the charging power cord...volt meter, light, 12 v cigarette lighter adapter, 12 v charging port, short battery cables with clamps, high current disconnect switch. Because it was cheaper than a battery alone.... I bought 2,, robbed the battery from one for the plane.... and continue to use one in my business.... If you want to order the battery only order the replacement battery for the second link. Boyd

    Boyd, Thanks for the very helpful info. There is a Harbor Freight store close by so I'm going to see what that have in the store here. I don't even need a battery now but ours is about 3 1/2 years old and behaving itself well but I try to keep good suppliers in mind.

    Subject: doors
    I decided to go with the Kolb aluminum tailfeather method for my doors. One welded steel T at the front joint , the rear joint gussetted with stainless rivets. the tube is 3/4" x .050" 6061 seamless. Due to the many angles involved it was not easy and the doors do have slight differences. The bottom half will be skinned aluminum and the top with my leftover 1/8" GE MR10 scratch resistant lexan. The hinges are 2" X .060" continuous piano from McMaster Carr, the best deal and fast delivery.

    Subject: 582 water temps
    Hi all, have a quick Q. I was Setting prop pitch today on my newly Overhauled 582 ( I`ve never run one before) & got the RPMs set at 6350, EGT & CHT are running right where I want them, but the water temp guage was about to reach 200 degrees.( EIS) Keep in mind this was a static run, & outside temps were about 83 degrees. Should I expect temps to be within limits once airborne on a similar day because of much increased airflow through the standard radiators? Or should I be concerned about the static temps? Thanks, Jim

If you go to the Google maps link below you can see his drive coming south off of Wall St. with the lake to the east of the house. Since Wall St. is a narrow country road I suppose they market it from 724 since that's a major thorofare. I've only ever driven to his house; if I'd have flown in I would have realized it.

    Subject: Re: 582 water temps
    The vent on my 582 runs from the mag side vent to a tee in the vent line between the upper tanks of the radiators. It's a small thing to miss. The trike I annualed had been used in three WSC Repairman Inspector classes and no one had written it up as a defect. The trike is a 1997 or 98 vintage and there is no evidence that the head vent was ever put in. Rotax says the vent is a must do for the engine to cool properly. Go figure.
