Actually it belongs to someone else. The properties are adjoining and it
has its own pond too; half the airstrip is on Homer's property and half is
on the one that is for sale.

David,
It looks to me like it is Homer's place.
Kolb Airport 43PA, PA
By golly Gene, I believe you're right. I wasn't aware he owned all the way
to 724. 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.
Well, if two or three of us come up with 3 mil we can have one gorgeous
property!

Hi Jim, Rotax also recommends to run a water hose over the radiator
during static run ups on hot days, if needed to control temps. Be
carefull not to spray too much water through the prop and to secure the
hose well.

Morning Gang:
Trying to get all the loose ends tied up in prep for departure next
Tuesday morning, 15 May.
Travis Brown has been working overtime to get me some needed parts for
the mkIII. We had a heck of a time getting the extra large oil
cooler. He contacted everybody in the US who might have one. I am
pleased to say the UPS man dropped it off yesterday afternoon. Will
try to get it installed today.
Over the years, I have used the small Rotax oil cooler for the 912UL,
the medium for the last 912ULS, but decided to go with the extra large
Rotax oil cooler for the new 912ULS. The reason for the upgrade to a
larger cooler is high temps. There were times, expecially in the
dessert, I was flying with oil temps pushing the red line. Once in
Death Valley I had to back off power to bring the engine oil temps
back into the green. This new extra large cooler should take care of
high engine oil temps and make my cross country flight out West a bit
more comfortable.
I piggy back the oil cooler on the radiator. Increasing the size of
the oil cooler will cover a little more radiator. Should help bring
up CHT and lower eng oil temps. The 912 series engines, I have
discovered, like to run with nice warm CHT, especially in the winter
months when the temps get down into the 40s and 50s F.
Got to play with my drag strut universal joints. I did not mark them
before pulling the wings. Must have gotten them back on 180 deg out
of rigging. Back to a slight roll to the right, which I had gotten
rid of many years ago. If that will not do it, I will put the bungie
cord back on the stick for forced roll trim. That system is simple
and works great.
Need to do the first oil change at the same time I change out the oil
cooler. I think I have about 18 hours on the new engine. Normal
first oil change is 25 hours, but won't hurt a thing to change it out
a little early. Might even be good for it. ;-)
Got my Garmin 196 GPS Jeppesen and Obstacle Clearance data bases
updated and ready to fly.
Better get busy. Got stuff to do.

Makes perfect sense, I just wondered if the high temps that I saw during

There is a vent on the forward side of the engine top,, just forward of
the front 2 spark plugs, & a vent plug just forward of the 2 rear spark
plugs. Rotax sez to use the higher of the 2 vents . This hose routes to
a T that return to both sides of the radiator. I assume thats the vent
you`re reffering to? :) Jim

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.

You should expect temp to come down once airborne.

Make sure you have all the air bubbles out of the cooling system also
sometimes you have to run it without the Pressure Cap on for a while to remove
any
air bubbles in the system and do this on the ground even though I dont think
you would try this in the air

The cooling system I had on my J-6 was very effective and had a good
sized reservoir, and I ran it unpressurized. Never had any trouble, but
it did always have a cap on it. Need to keep the coolant in even if you
don't keep the pressure in.

John H,
RE: trim and roll
It is amazing how the unknown and little bitty things make the biggest difference.
Originally, my plane had a pretty good left roll and need for steady right
rudder pressure. I accepted the famous "Kolb left roll". I accepted that is
was the result of weight in the left seat and the rotation torque of 912's.
I installed the rudder trim tab per your design. Put it all back together just
like I did before, I thought.
Now she flies straight with no roll. Just need to keep a foot on the rudder at
higher speeds so it doesn't wave like a flag. I can't explain why the roll dissappeared.
It would be helpful to know, so I can repeat it on purpose.
Since you are a right seater from way back, you didn't put on a few pounds lately
that may have knocked you out of trim to the right???? [Twisted Evil] [Laughing]

Ok Gang,
Solved the aileron push/pull caper. When i rigged the wings and ailerons, I used
the "slider" for the flaperons and the factory push/pull tubes. After I removed
the wings and moved the fuselage back into the "cool" side of my shop I did
away with the sliding set up and went with the control tube through a nilyon
bushing. This raised the tube about 2" and allowed me to install my home made
sump for the fuel tank. I just plain forgot to shorten the push/pull tubes before
painting. [Rolling Eyes]
Threaded rod ends should be here tomorrow and will make changes this weekend. I
still need to paint the lift strut fairings so will do that when i repaint the
tubes.

John B:
As a matter of fact, I did put on 4 lbs this past week. ;-)
Had not thought of that.
Think I will still rotate the universals and see if there is a
difference. Since there is nothing precision on my airplane, except
the engine and prop, it is probably out enough to make a little
difference in roll.
John W told me to secure the lift strut with a rope and tie it off to
the tail. Then I can take the bolt out of the universal and rotate it
180 degrees by myself.
Still got to calibrate the tach and make sure the new prop is dialed
in correctly. Didn't have time to do that before I flew to Lakeland,
but it did fly good. May have one blade a hair out of adjustment from
the other two. Or maybe it is two out and one in. Anyhow, gonna try
and get them all reading off the same sheet of music and letting the
912ULS turn 5,500 rpm WOT straight and level flight.

Are you sure you wanna put Aluminum on the bottom section...?
