I have just put N615RT on the market. All the particulars are on the Kolb
web site but basically it would be a great trainer or check out airplane as it
has full dual controls and avionics for operating in controlled airspace. It
is hangered at MD1 (Massey Maryland) and never used any alcohol fuels.
For more info and pictures contact me at _Cat36Fly@AOL.COM_

Okay I think You may have isolated the cause of the weep leak Jerb and others.
The length of the pulse hose...and the material to some extent...is softening
the pulses which allows the condensate to enter the hose.
I just got a reply on the Kitfox list from a fellow with the same installation
who had the same problem. His was cured by moving the pump to the front...PTO...end
of the engine as suggested by a Rotax tech.
The 503 pulse port is on the PTO end of the engine. The port is on the Mag end
on a 582. The old Skystar manual instructs to mount the pump on the fire wall.
This works fine with the 582 because the pulse port is close.
The common component of those that don't leak is a short pulse line. The common
component of the two I know of that leaked is the long pulse line.
Thanks for all the suggestions from everyone here!!! I have a few mods to make
now.

Well gang got up at 4:00am and headed to KLUL to work on Ms Dixie in hopes of a
first start up after a long time and low and behold at 11:30am with a shaking
right hand I turned the key and yelled "CLEAR PROP". With the airplabe tied to
the Z71 she came to life and to my releif she stopped when i turned her off!
Then I un-tied her and went for my first ride under her own power. The 912 puured
nicely and I found my first area of adjustment...the brakes. Glad to report
no leaks or problems other than the south mississippi heat. It's like a tanning
bed in there! the throttle is the next area of attention as it is super touchy.
at no throtle the RPM's drop to 800 and moving the throttle a fraction
she jumps to 1800. It's as if she wants to jump into the air. will spen the next
few days tweaking and hope to find some improvement.

Hi,
We finally received a DVD from the guy that was taking pictures at
Monument Valley as every one was leaving. He managed to capture Arty's
friend make his spectacular takeoff from MV. I had the devils own time
figuring out how to get it from DVD to Google.
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1486764191680773505
There was a bit of a cross wind as well as a tailwind. It looks as
though he swerved a bit to the left , then over corrected. It also looks
to me as though he attempted to use the ailerons to try to bring himself
back. It is pretty hard to tell since the bank sloped him in that
attitude.

Paul,
Congrats on that first taxi! It probably does not sound exciting to the old
timers, but I only have 40 something hours on the
Firefly and remember the excitement with my first taxi. It means your one step
farther in the process of getting in the air ! Saver the moment and I anticipate
that 1 st flight report. Appearently my 447 decarb turned out OK ,as I have
put 3 or 4 hours on it since the decarb and all seems normal .
Be Safe,

Thanks for posting the video. I watched it a few times and I don't see
me in the line of fire at all. Maybe it's for the best not knowing how
close it was. I remember ducking and seeing that drifter way too close
then seeing it hit a mound of dirt behind me.
The wings were rocking quite a bit that doesn't show on the video and he
was banked 30-40 degrees before he left the runway. The photo I snapped
shows that and I think the rudder deflected also. I thought I remembered
the throttle being advanced a whole lot quicker but the video proves
otherwise. There really wasn't much of a cross wind but there was a tail
wind. It seemed more like over controlling issue.
I have to believe that you lost some detail when you put it on Google.
Could you attach a before google copy to a E-Mail and send it to me off
list?
