I was down loading Relative Humidity tables right before I sent the heater question
to the kolb List and didn't get the heater link copied like I thought I did.
Heres the correct link to see the Aircraft Spruce heater.

That heater is a piece of crap I know two people that have bought them and
they are not long lived, I made a better one for my Firestar out of Stainless
steel you can see pic's of it in the Photoshare and it will fit in a small
area and it works great

Okay you guys are giving me some good ideas. Thanks Ellery, I looked at your pictures
and they helped as well as some another sent to me.
Heres what the 503 installation looks like in my kitfox. Anyone with more ideas
or comments I would like to hear/see them.

Subject: | Re: Airport Attitudes |
Hi Guys,
Well....being an Airport manager at a small sod strip in in upper , lower Michigan
(5Y2, Houghton Lake State Airport),I can understand why some managers get
upset with some of the pilots that fly the lite aircraft.I have only had 1 time
where the pilot of a powered parachute new nothing about patterns at an airport,landed
on the runway and parked it there while he packed it up...However,I
spoke with the gentlemen and told him of airport procedures and he apologized
and agreed follow them next time.Since then I try to have a talk with the people
wanting to use the airport and make sure the understand the rules. Some already
knew them others did not...the point is if you go to another place to fly
that you have not been before, talk to the manager and let him know your intentions
and ask if there is anything else that should be noticed at there airport.
There is no reason why we can't all get along and play together.I enjoy
anything that flies , all we have to do is keep it safe. I am just getting into
a Kolb Mark III Xtra ( down sizing from a Skyhawk...I have a nice one for
sale if anyone is interested) and would like to see all you guys and gals come
up to our airport some time in the future!
So before you get mad at the manager,remember all the dumb stuff other people have
done to make him that way and show him you are not that way!

Subject: | Mark 3C/912 on floats & CHT sending unit |
I am looking for information on Puddle Jumper floats mounted on the Mark 3
C. I have tried to get some information from Kolb for the past 2 yrs with
out any luck. If you have any information or photos you can direct me to it
would be a great help. I have a chance to get a set with retractable landing
gear which is why I am looking for help.
The other thing is the CHT sending units on the 912 UL, are they F or C
degrees which dicates which gages to use, some of us use the F gages and the
temp always runs low as does the oil temp.

FireFlyer's & Kolbers,
The weather has turned so there is no flying. Computed the change in
average fuel flows for flights before and after addition of the air fuel
mixture control and keeping the EGT constant. At today's fuel prices
($2.00) it saves about 50 cents per hour.
I added the following to the web site page today.
............................................
Update - 11/08/08 - Fuel Savings
To check air fuel ratio control system effectiveness, I totaled the air time
and fuel used beginning with the very first system test flight. The total
system air time was 13 hours and 23 minutes, and the total fuel burned was
27.17 gallons. This computes out to 2.03 gph over 25 flights. Next I went
back in air time approximately 13 hours and 23 minutes before installing the
system and found there were 35 flights in this period totaling 13 hours, 46
minutes that burned 33.20 gallons. Since there were 10 additional flights,
10 x 0.05 = 0.5 gallons were subtracted from the total to compensate for the
extra ten engine starts and warm-ups etc. Using this new number (32.70
gallons) the uncontrolled air fuel mixture flights burn rate was 2.38 gph.
By addition of the air fuel mixture control, Victor 1+ is burning 0.25 gph
less for an eleven percent improvement in fuel economy.

There is no F or C sender. The gauge has F or C markings (or both), but
that's just the markings on the dial. The thermocouple type used depends
on the application, typically type "J" thermocouples are used on CHT gauges
whereas type "K" are used for EGT (the "J" type produces more voltage for a
given temperature, making it more accurate at lower temperatures, but it's
limited to about 750F). Thermocouple gauges need no external power. Oil
temp gauges usually use a thermistor rather than a thermocouple sender
which is completely different, and require external power.

I have been involved in my annual inspection. Removed the cowling and
found a lose cht bolt and a wire lom nut had come off. I have had some
trouble with the EIS. My tach was working intermintaly and the cht that
was irregular was deffinatly the blot that had worked lose. The tack
problem was where I had made a solder connection at a plastic conector
plug. it vibrated till the wire workhardned and brke lose. The shrink
tubing held the ends together that's why the intermint operation.Decided
to do something drastic B4 I started you can see the results in the
photos. B flying next week
