I want to answer the fellow who wondered if he could reregister his
experimental twinstar into the experimental light sport catagory. Not
according to the rules. I want to say though that the new rules are making
us better liars. I dont see why you couldnt just take your n-numbers off,
remove the old id plate and serial number and redo the entire thing. you
could litterly make up a new serial number, pretend it is a different plane
and go through the hoops. I would advise you to get a different DAR though!
Not like it is etched in stone. dont know why anyone would want to go
through all the trouble but there you have it. lie like hell. (Of course,
I wouldnt tell anyone and of course, I wouldnt do it myself. yeah, right.)

Yes Bill that is what I have to do every year in the warm weather to make my
machine run good or it will act like it is running out of fuel in short
spirts but never completly quits when it happens it will make you look real fast
for a landing spot

I had the same problem with a 503 on a quicksilver a couple years ago
that I got a good deal on. Tried 3 different carbs, dozens of settings,
3 different fuel pumps, all new fuel lines & filter and a thunderbird
dance. It would give 6000 rpms for 2 to 5 minutes then cut back to 1500
to 2000 for about the same. I could stay up with good thermals but not
for too long otherwise. Finally pulled the jugs off. The rings were
stuck just a little (if there is such a thing) and there were a couple
light scuff marks on both pistons. Also the crosshatching on the
cylinder walls was negligible to nonexistent. I purchased the next sized
up pistons & rings online, had a local machine shop bore the walls to
spec & it flew like a new one until I sold it 200 hours later. I assumed
then, & still do, that it was partially seizing until it cooled a little
then was good to go until it heated up again. I put about 6 or 8 hours &
several =98exciting=99 flights on it that way.

Hello gang,
Looking for information and advice. We have a firestar ll with a 503
rotax, dual ignition, dual carbs, pull start, no battery, Grandson
experienced a engine problem which is described as engine rpm=99s
dropped off , engine was plumbed in series, not parallel. I know that
some recommend the electric pump be installed in parallel, but this is a
lot more complicated and messy.and is it really necessary??
Sorry for such a long post.but thanks for your thoughts and
inputwill let you know what happens.

I'm getting my Experimental-Amateur Built Minimax ready to sell, and I
considered this option. The FAA told me that I could not re-register
the airplane. I know it would bring a better price if it was E-LSA
because the new owner could attend a mechanic's class and sign off on
all of his work.
Unfortunately, I am sure the FAA would look at my file history and
know what I had done. I'll be losing money on Ebay real soon.

I'm not John, but try a two blade 64" Warp, (or be really conservative
and use a 62" two blade Warp) and use only Mobil One synthetic in your
gearbox, and you'll probably get by without hurting the gearbox, and
you'll probably be very satisfied. I got a couple hundred hours out of
my B box with a Warp 66" two blade, but that was with ordinary gearbox
lube. A shorter prop and better lube and you ought to do OK.

Hi John H.,
I am in need of a prop , as one of the cams broke on my Ivo . I
am sold on the Warp, but I am concerned that it weighs more than the
folks from Rotax recommend. Did you ever run a warp on any B-box 447?
I dont want another Ivo, but I dont want to overstress the B -box,
either.
