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.

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. john h mkIII ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 05:28:03 AM PST US From: "John Hauck" Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Re: HKS Fuel system 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 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, john h mkIII ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 09:25:11 AM PST US Subject: Kolb-List: Re: HKS Fuel system From: "JetPilot" 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.

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 -------- "NO FEAR" - If you have no fear you did not go as fast as you could have !!!

I don't know if that rear fairing helped or not. Looks better if nothing else. john h mkIII ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 05:04:06 PM PST US From: gary aman Subject: Re: Kolb-List: LSA 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.. ----- Original Message ---- From: John Hauck Sent: Saturday, September 6, 2008 8:15:16 AM Subject: Re: Kolb-List: LSA > By the way, I will be offering a $50 reward (cash money) to anyone who can > solve my resonance problem on my 912.
