Been there,G.Aman FS2 Jeff, My FS 1 CG is at 33.4% with full fuel and me, 33.0% with tank near empty. do not archive -------- Thom in Buffalo N197BG FS1/447 -------------------- "Blind respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth."

I fly a continental now but used to fly a 2 stroke. If your cyl head temp is high and your egt is low means that you have way too much prop. the opposite would be just that, Too little prop pitch. Get a CPS catalog and tune that 2 stroke. All the info is in the back of the catalog. My A65 is easy. If you get full rpms its good to go.

It's supposed to weigh the same as a 582 but has 80 hp. He said that it will be flying next week. I'll try to keep you posted. That engine should work fine on a Kolb.

Hey Gang, I haven't been flying much since my attempt to get to PA in June, well one day to go to Morristown, but that is it. I need to fly!!! I just learned today about a fly-in at Triple Tree Aerodrome (SC00) in SC (link below). This will be their first full scale fly-in but they have been hosting the "Joe Nall" Giant Scale model show for years and it is a first class operation. Only problem is I think it is the same weekend as the Kolb Homecoming. Has anyone heard the dates for the Kolb fly-in yet? Triple Tree starts on Wednesday so I may do Wednesday and Thursday there then go to London. http://www.joenall.com/joenall2/EAAnews%20release.jpg Steven do not archive ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 08:19:57 PM PST US From: WADE LAWICKI Subject: Kolb-List: Wiring diagram Group, Anyone out there have a wiring diagram for their plane? I`m getting close to pulling wires and one would help a bunch with saving time.I have- 582, key west, electric start, fuel pump EIS, fuel level, 2 accy. plugs. Not sure of what size breakers of fuses to use, and never wired for a starter before? Any ideas?

Angle of Incidence is fixed on most aircraft. Good seeing you and Hauck at OSH> Ed in JXN MkII/503 Do not archive. ----- Original Message ----- From: Richard & Martha Neilsen To: kolb-list@matronics.com Sent: Friday, August 10, 2007 2:28 PM Subject: Re: Kolb-List: CHT & EGT control Richard Thanks for the input. I figured the EGT would go up like it does in a 2 stroke. As for your comment about "variable angle of incidence" not available in a regular aircraft? I think you fail to understand the fact that both types of aircraft have the ability and need for changing the angle of incidence. You do that by shifting your weight and we do it by elevator deflection.
