I am usually out of the air before it is dark enough for them to be of any help landing. However, I do turn them on when I enter the pattern so I am more visible. My pilot buddies say they look nice. I also flash them at other GA aircraft that are coming head on at me, to make sure they see me. They were worth it in my opinion, however the main reason I put them in the FSII, is I needed more weight in the nose of the airplane. I figured that every ounce helped.

They changed the name of the "air cooled 2-stroke" oil to "outdoor", but the "watercooled" product is/was something different. Whether it's _really_ anything different I don't know, but it would make sense that the formulation would be different for an outboard engine running at lower temperatures (cooled as it is by a steady supply of cold water) as opposed to an aircooled engine running at higher temperatures. Either way, I would think that the air cooled ("outdoor") oil would be a better choice for a water cooled Rotax since the operating conditions are closer to those of an air cooled engine than an outboard. When you think about it, a watercooled Rotax on a plane IS air cooled... just indirectly. -Dana -- Scientists cause cancer in laboratory animals. ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 06:20:08 AM PST US Subject: Kolb-List: Re: Registering an AB Kolb From: "Ralph B" Start with a copy of FAA form 8050-1 from your local FSDO. Ask them if you need to fill out the 8050-1 or 8050-2. Then call the local MIDO office and have them send you the Amateur Registration packet for free. Find the local DAR in your area to help you through the process. Basically, it's easy to fill out the 8050 form, but you need to fill it out properly or the FAA will reject it and the process will take a long time. EAA does have an Amateur-Built packet that can lead you through the steps too for $12.99. Don't confuse it with the E-LSA packet, as that deadline expired on 1-31-08.

Hart" Subject: Kolb-List: Re: MZ 34 engine >How is your MZ 34 installation going with the Firefly? Ed, Right now it is static. I have designed up an engine test stand that will be mounted on a little trailer, so that I can run the engine before mounting it on the FireFly. The MZ34 comes with a pumper carburetor. I would like to use a variable throat carburetor, as I understand them better. The steel has been purchased and delivered, but no cutting or welding has been done. My welder is in and unheated open barn. I hope the test stand will let me dial in the engine. I have had enough sick on take-off test flights. Life keeps getting into the way. This winter has been cruel. I have a landing leg re-enforcing cable kit ready to install, but it has been too cold to work in the hangar and/or the doors have been frozen shut due to snow and ice. My wife moved me up here, built a house, and over spent, so a few things could not be done. Last summer, I moved about 170 cubic yards of dirt to make a walk out for the basement with a 20 hp tractor, push blade and subsoil ripper. But I could not get it done in time to get grass started on it. As result the FireFly had to stay in the hangar. Next winter I will bring it home and wheel it into my basement shop. Being new in the neighborhood really puts a kink in your ability to get things done. In two years I have found a reasonable chip shop for machine work, a good welder, etc. Today I am to pick up a used Rotax 447 for $40 and an unknown wankel $??. I like engines, and I want the carburetor off the 447 to try out an idea for in the air air/fuel ratio adjustment. Richard Pike gave me an idea and I want to try it out on the Victor 1+. We really were clobbered by the last snow, and as I sit here, I can look out of my basement shop and see the snow falling today. It is supposed to warm up through out the rest of the week. I would like to get more done, but my days are full, and at my age every day is a gift. When the snow and ice permit opening the hangar doors, I visit the FireFly. It gives me hope that the weather will warm and I will get back into the air. It is amazing how little things get complicated. I found a helmet video camera on the web and purchased it, so my family could see what it was like to fly in the FireFly. But my computers were too old to connect to the camera. So I purchased new computers, and I am having a hard time getting the data transferred from the old to the new machines. A good problem, but one I wish I did not have to address. I would rather piddle around working on the FireFly. Waiting for some flying weather. Jack B.

There are often two, one aimed straight ahead in the in-flight attitude; the other straight ahead in the taxiing position. For a taildragger there's a big difference here. IMHO anything that produces a fairly narrow beam of light works fine -- auto or not. One main advantage in daylight is visibility -- others will see you much sooner if you have lights on.

Roger Lee Tucson, Az >> Roger - Nice to know. Thanks for passing on the info to this List. It amazes me to see how slow the FBO industry is to ramp up to becoming "authorized" service centers for Rotax engines, especially with the new wave of Light Sport Aircraft being delivered, where nine out of ten of 'em use the 912. At last count, I think there are barely a dozen authorized Rotax service centers serving the US. Last summer, when I called the aircraft repair shop at one of our local airports to ask them if they were qualified to work on a Rotax engine, the mechanic asked, "What's that - a go-cart engine?" (Sheesh!) It would be nice if I could take my 912 to a local airport FBO if I ever needed any heavy service, rather than 1000 miles away. Roger's shop in Tucson is "only" 450 miles from where I live - a much better option for me!

If it is a safety issue then probably yes. If it is just a change then it might or might not be. You will need to call a Rotax distributor on your specific issue. Sorry, probably not the answer you were looking for. Hopefully a nice distributor will do it for you. Never hurts to ask. -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az.

I will also do a dynamic balance for him while it is here. (He's 82 years old and would rather I come get it.) I just make a breakfast run out of it. It takes me roughly 2.3 hours to fly there. I'm a customer service type of person. The other 4 guys that need gear set change outs need other work done, too. A CT and a few of the other LSA's takes me about 2 hours from start to stop (that's ready to fly) to do a gear set change. Most guys seem to want the quick turn around and less down time than to send it in and have the shipping delay flight time. They just make a fun trip out of it. I would prefer my shop just in case I need any extra tools and I have a nice hydraulic press to make my life easy to do the gear set.

It won't move programs, but it will handle your data and system settings. The utility is called the "Files and Settings Transfer Wizard". To find it, click Start>>All Programs>>Accessories>>System Tools. If you use this wizard you can use a null modem serial cable to hook the two computers together. You should be able to find that at an electronics store for less than $15.

The landing lights I have draw way too much power and I want something brighter closer to the ground. It's going under the nose in front of the nosewheel as soon as I can get the preliminary wiring stuff out of the way. with 8 LED's it's at least as bright as a big halogen general aviation landing light, maybe more judging by hooking it up to a car battery. But the current draw is tiny at about 2 amps....... It's pricey but I really need a good low-current light that's bright as the jeepers.... I'll let ya'll know how it works out once I get it installed on the plane....

The TCW-III grade is primarily a standard for lubricating water-cooled 2 strokes. API TC grade is a tougher standard intended for lubing air-cooled motors. The TCW-III spec does specify a miniimum lubrication ability for air-cooled engines, tho, so it will work fine in an air-cooled engine as well. It's not as stringent as the TC spec tho...

Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Re: aileron bellcrank and pulleys The spades are an interesting idea. Has anyone tried extending the ailerons outboard and forward of the wing tips like on some of the old biplanes? (see photo) This would would make the forces lighter at all airspeeds and could provide some of the couterbalance - but I don't know how it would affect flutter. Dan G. 503 F2 Tucson JetPilot wrote: > >Very nice work Mike, I really like that idea ! My ailerons get " Springy " due to the long torque tubes on the trailing edge of the wing that actuate them twisting under flight loads. I get maybe 10 degrees or less aileron travel in the air, while I am getting 30 degrees or more on the ground. Your modification will eliminate this problem, and keeping the wings foldable, thats just a bonus. > >Being that my plane is already flying, it would be difficult to change to a cable system, so I am trying a different approach. I am installing spades on the ailerons to bring down the forces to where the long aileron tubes do not twist anymore.
