Rick,
I'm very happy with how my HKS is running. I set up the prop pitch so that with
full throttle, I get 6,200 RPM at climb speed of 45-50 mph. I pull the power
back to the 5,800 RPM maximum continuous limit shortly after takeoff.
I was originally having problems with EGT going over the 1400 degree F limit at
mid-range RPM. I raised the jet needles one notch, and that cured the problem.
I rarely see EGT over 1350. CHT seems to run just below 300 degrees most
of the time.
I was finally able to obtain 89 octane ethanol free gas, and am mixing that with
100 octane AVgas at 3:1. It's running quite well on that mixture. I'm coming
up on the first oil change soon. So far, the installation has been nice and
solid with nothing showing any sign of shaking loose.
I'm planning a flight tomorrow morning along the high cliffs and deep valleys of
the northeast coast of Hawaii Island. There's no place to land besides the
water if the engine quits, but my trust level of the engine is pretty high. I
will wear a life vest just in case.

Subject: Kolb-List: Kolb flyers in San Francisco Bay area
I have a Kolb Mark III classic with a Rotax 582 that I am returning to
flying condition and would like to license as LSA.
I am presently keeping the plane at my home in Pinole and I have a
hanger at Napa County and I work in Napa. Anyone in this area that has
gone thru the LSA paperwork or who is flying a Kolb?
I am looking for some local help and camaraderie however All replies
from anywhere are welcome.
Dan

Thanks, Dave, good to hear. I still haven't achieved 6200 RPM on climb out,
but I'm closing in on it. I'll raise the jet needles and see if that gets
the CHT's down.
After attending Rotax classes at Sun n Fun I decided to switch from Mobil 1
Synthetic to Mobil 1 Racing 4T for the anti-shearing additves to protect the
gearbox. Still full synthetic, but designed for motorcycle engines with
shared oil for the engine and gearbox. The only drawback is that it is only
available in 10W-40 weight. Here on the plains, it'll help with those hot
summer days, but it might be a bit thick for the rest of the year.
Have fun flying, stay safe. Take pictures and make the rest of us jealous.
:-)

"Ya'll drop on in"
takes on a whole new meaning
when you live at the airport.
