Transport of the Mark III, with folded back wings, is risky. The clearance
of the leading edge to the ground is a mere couple of inches. The risk of
scraping it on the ground is most acute and we did it a dang three times!
So now there is a fix in terms of a dolly which raises the entire works into
safe heights.
How we did it, can be seen in these pics. There is a steel sleeve inside the
pipe.

BTW, last year's problem with the Center Gap popping up, was due because the
center hold-down hook was not being fully engaged. We made a new, longer
hook, getting away from the sloped portion.

| Subject: | Broken protection washer |
Take a look at what I found wedged in behind my fan belt tonight. The protection
washer that is directly behind my fan belt broke. (Number 10 in the CPS picture)
I have a Rotax 503 DCSI. I am blessed it didn't break anything else, like
the fan belt.
Early symptoms included an increase or reduction in RPM while not moving the throttle.
However the fan belt was still at good tension at that time.
Most recent symptoms included major vibration when starting the engine while the
idle was still low. I also felt a shaking on take off. After a couple times
starting with such vibration, I checked the fan belt again and it was extremely
loose. I took the cover off and found this broken guy sitting there.
Whew! [Shocked]

The trailer is "extra". I am selling the trailer for $4000 by itself. You can
have the package for $14K. Heck of a deal.
Now as far as a trailer, is it over done for the payload, but it pulls straight
and the bird is secure inside. it has been raining cats and dogs here but the
unit is dry inside, I went out and measured it up for a fellow.
It is 5'10" x 23'10" inside.
On your comment about getting out after a year ...... and losing money. I wish
I was able to net out even $4$ for what I stick into my my past hobbies. I
have raced cars, motorcycles, sailboats. Been into classic cars and street rods.
Beer, wine, whiskey. Girls. Computers, Audio Video. ........... None made
me any money.
I have been "plane crazy" since I was 6 and expect that I will continue to buy
planes. I may build another, but right now I have more $ than time. The time
things gets int he way of flying and I can only fly one at a time and I have
3 planes today. They do not do well if not flown regularly. So my little bird
is leaving the nest. I never expect to get even $ wise on planes, but I continue
to enjoy flying, it is great therapy, and it is cheaper than psychoanalysis.
I like the FS, it was a lot of fun flying it last night. But I want to do some
traveling like some of the fellow Kolbers and I am not up to it in the FS at
this time. So, I bought a factory made plane. I don't really want to sell the
FS but I know it will become a hanger queen and that would be wrong.
If she does not sell, that may be OK too, that may be how it is suppose to work
out.
