I may be wrong here, correct me please, but I was under the impression that
an AP-1 rating was a lesser rating than AP-2. In other words, if you had an
AP-2, you were qualified in tail dragger AND nose wheel. You were stepping
up a notch. Same as if you are rated for over 87 knots, you were
automatically qualified for the lesser of the ratings. Any other way of
interpreting it would be ridiculous. That would be like saying a truck
driver could not drive a car!!!! OR if you had an IFR rating, you could not
fly VFR. (been wrong before) Ted Cowan, Alabama, Slingshot, AP-2. See you
at the homecoming.
By the way, I will be offering a $50 reward (cash money) to anyone who can
solve my resonance problem on my 912. It doenst change RPM just makes this
horrible rumm rumm rumm which changes in volumn at higher RPM but not
frequency. Not in the carbs. See ya. Ted

Morning Ted:
I need $50.00.
Does it do it when tied down, doing a static runup?
Did you close the rear windows?
Is the fabric tight on top of the wings, inboard near the engine?
Did you check gear box to see if it was shimmed correctly?
Has anyone else had this problem with a SS and 912?
Has anyone else had this problem with SS and other engine combinations?
Has anyone else had this problem with other aircraft and engine
combinations?
Dan Horton's 3/4 scale Jenny with 3 cyl Suzuki engine did this. Never did
figure out why it did it.
Ronnie Collins SS did it. Fabric had been rib stitched by builder.
Stitches were failing on top of wings inboard near the engine. Caused by
drumming from prop.
I have heard some belt drive systems do this. Dan used a belt and Ronnie
was flying with a 582.
Still working on my first cup of coffee, and my mind is not working yet.
;-)
See ya at the Homecoming.

Bottom line, you have to educate yourself, and be knowledgeable enough to
know what is a real risk and what is not. Just taking some experience from
an automobile and trying to apply it to all aspects of wiring an airplane is
not the right thing to do.

Mike B:
912's come with an installation manual. I don't know if you knew that or
not, since you didn't build your MKIIIx. Installation manual indicates how
to wire and plumb the engine.
I bet HKS also has an installation manual or a chapter in their engine
manual dedicated to installation procedures.
If all else fails, go to the manufacturer for information on installation,
wiring, and plumbing their engines.
Take care,

Hi John,
In my MK III Xtra I have rebuilt the entire fuel system. I put new certified
aircraft type fuel lines on with firesleeve down to tanks,and also on the engine
itself like the new 912-s come with, and also changed the location of everything
so that my fuel pump is below the fuel level down in the belly, and also
installed a gascolator down in the belly so that I can drain the fuel like a
real airplane [Wink] I have the Kolb 18 gallon tank sitting in a box, so
I will also be changing the original tanks soon. I also have the 6 gallon "corss
country" tank mounted up in the V area behind the seats, so I will soon have
a total of 24 gallons in my Kolb. I only have one facet pump since the engine
driven fuel pump on the 912-s is very powerful, it will draw fuel with or
without the electric pump running.
Mike

It sounds like you are getting pretty close to that 50 bucks already !!! This
brings a question to mind John, did you pick up much speed when you put the rear
fairing on the fuselage in flat vertical area in front of the prop ? I am
still trying to figure out how you cruise so fast.

Mike B:
Thought I cruised fast until John W put the 912S on his Kolbra. Then he
blew me away.
I don't know if that rear fairing helped or not. Looks better if nothing
else.

On my MK-3,I loaded up the center section facing the inner steel wing rib with
contact foam insulation cut to match the airfoil shape of the wing..Also the inside
of the center section ends.Then both sides of the spar carry through and
the top inner surface of the overhead plexiglass. All with 1/2 " denso foam sound
absorbing foam.I think the noise comes from the wing skins and resonates
thru the center section..I bought a half acre of that foam and stuck it everywhere
I think it might even have helped some..
