I don't think that will work. Just use the one egt hole and plug the other one.

Thanks Scott and others. You are right, it will show an average. I will drill a
single hole and plug the two other EGT ports. This worked for 21 years on the
other muffler and will work here too.

Isn't an Ultraprop a plastic straight blade prop? No twist in the
blade? Gets to a certain point in airspeed and hits a brick wall? No
more speed?
My comparison is the Ultraprop is a "dog" compared to other props.
Sorry, can not remember the correct terminology for built in blade
twist. Somebody help me out.

John,
The word is Helex, I think. Without the helex or twist built in, the
prop has a narrower sweet spot where it performs well.

You'ze guys,
A guy I met last summer at my local airport (St. George) is building a Firestar
II. Actually, I believe it is finished, and he is simply waiting on the ELSA
paperwork.
The point is: He had installed a Hexadyne. I don't know exactly what it was
that lead him to do that, but I think he is VERY sorry. It appears that the
Hexadyne company is one guy. Parts and repairs from the "Factory" are weeks,
at the minimum. The engine is very finicky, darn sure not worth the money he
paid, and he wouldn't spend the money, if he had to do it all over again.
On the positive side, for the weight and power, it would be an excellent choice
for a Firestar, IF it were dependable.
You've been warned. (Frankly, I think you'd be better off buying an HKS, if
you didn't want a Rotax).
Mike Welch
Just from what I heard.

Sounds like the Aero-Twin engine. $6900 is the price for 50 HP non turbo engine.
By the time you add for the re-drive, exhaust, oil tank, oil cooler, etc you
are close to $10000.

Anyone with 1st hand experience. What are the pros or cons of a Rotax 503 on
a MK-3. Should I consider it or is it too small? I want to know what to shop
for. Plane will only be used for local site seeing and fun , mostly with a
passenger(325# pilot & co-pilot total).

Yep, 1st hand experience here. I had a 65 MPH cruise ( indicated), single
pilot, I weigh 200 lbs, took a 250 lb passenger up once. it did it, but I
wouldn`t do it regularly. for local flights solo, it it fine. There was a
post not long ago about this same topic, & I`m sure there are VERY
different opinions. mine was fine, but if you want to go longer distances, &
or regularly flying dual, you may want at least a 582. Jim

Hi Bill,
I believe those 5 inch wheels were originally used on snowmobiles. They're
called bogey wheels and are used to support the snowmobile track as it
rotates. Makes for a nice light tail wheel, but it does cut a groove into soft
turf. I was thinking about installing two wheels side by side for more support.
Kinda like a Dually (Dualie?) pick-up truck!

No question for the cost of a 503 or less put a redrive VW on it. You get
912 performance, 4 stroke reliability and low cost.
I flew in a 503 powered MKIIIC with another guy the total human weight was
375-400. It did surprisingly good but not what you would want if your going
to fly in and out of UP strips like Scott T. strip.
Also, you have the opportunity to make a Kolbra or a MKIIIX. Depending on
you mission either one would be a better choice. The down side of a Kolbra
is that it is two narrow for the VW mount. New Kolb will weld up a MKIIIX
cage with a VW mount. Food for thought.
