Since I fold/unfold with every flight, I built a wing support dolly that would
hold the wings above the tail wires to eliminate the need for folding/unfolding
that part for each flight. Attached are some photos.

Well, I had my Rotax guy come look at my wiring on my 582 last night, &
I showed him these posts. He agreed that I should start by calling Rotax
& see about the replacement Stator. Also of note , the gray Tach wire
showed a 0 Ohm reading.
Called Lockwood, they said that Stator / bad wiring situation was on
912`s ONLY, a few years back, and the best thing to do was to clip the
connectors off the wires, sleeve them with heat shrink tubing to
re-insulate them & fly on. Then when I mentioned the Bad Ohm reading on
the meter, he said that there was indeed a bad coil in the stator & If I
wanted that fixed the only was was to replace the stator.
Over $600. & I hope to have it installed in time for a Flight to London
KY next week.

You all spoke with Kodiak about the problem?
To me, that is a serious one.
Some years ago Kodiak went through a alternator stator exchange
program because of improper insulation on wiring.

I`ve been having an intermittent tach problem, & upon close
examination on my 582, the yellow/black & Black/yellow wires are now so
soft, I can induce fraying rubbing hard with my fingers! I`m having them
replaced tommorrow eve on my 582. I can`t speak about the red ones yet
though. Jim

I Never thought about a used one, but, I guess I would always wonder
about its condition. Anyway, the new one is supposed to be here Tuesday,
my rotax guy sez he`s very busy next week, but I hope he'll work me in.

the tac wires on my 582 went bad ( no or low rpm readings ) you can get
proper tac readings from other wires on the stator so I stopped using the gray
tac wires and my motor has ben running fine for over 70 hrs now. how much do
you want for your old stator? malcolm michigan

Lockwood said the same thing to me when my tach quit working, and
implied that the tach stator failure was a fairly common problem. Got a
Tiny Tach that wraps it's sensing wire around the spark plug wire and
have been well satisfied. Except for the funny looking Tiny Tach on my
panel where the original tach use to be...

Hope there not too big. I croped and optimized best I could.
Tony, I have wing & boom support for my trailer. Kind of over done. I'll
post a pic soon as I unfold again.
I can't seem to find a way to load or unload without hitting the wings
on the trailer part way on. I pretty much coppied a trailer posted on
list that loads tailfirst with a track for the tail wheel.
Loading wings open is ok cause its easier to unpin and fold without all
that bending over.
I cant open them in my driveway each time. No room and doudle the work
just to travel a mile to taxie, which is all I can do right now and not
very well at that.

Vic,
What kind of trailer do you own? I have a 24' Haulmark that I use for my
Firestar II. It fits perfectly. I want to build/buy the MkIIIX like you have
I'm not sure it will fit. The trailer is a little longer than 24 feet.

Sorry about dropping out... Problems with my wireless source took me off the internet...
Lucien,
I will ground the engine to the frame and use the cage as a ground bus. The total
load running through it is small. And on Maui, where the area is small and
the landmarks well known, the compass is mostly for looks.
Rick,
I have the drawing that comes with the KW rectifier and there's no sign of a cap.
Also I recall their ad saying that they no longer require a cap. or load...(distinguishing
them from the Rotax rectifier setup...)
Bob contacted me by back channels and explained the capacitor set up to can the
RFI... Also he thinks the fuse between the KW and the alternator is to protect
the alternator...
Thanks Guys...
Aloha

My trailer is experimental ofcourse. Made wider 6'2" wheel to wheel outside
(of the Kolb) and extended to 22 feet, electric winch and boom + wing
supports. Compliments of Ellery welder extaordinare or how ever you spell
it.
Trouble is the Kolb nose extends 6+ feet over the trailer, making the whole
shebang 28'.

Boy, that's high!
If I can get (or afford!) hangar space for my US, I was thinking of making
a dolly that holds the wings *outside* the unfolded tail. Would use a bit
more floor space but not be so high.
