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. -------- Tom Jones Classic IV 503 Rotax, 72 inch Two blade Warp Ellensburg, WA Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=213015#213015 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/engine1_526.jpg ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 10:32:52 AM PST US Subject: Kolb-List: Re: Airport Attitudes From: "ces308" 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! chris ambrose houghton lake ,mi ces308@ldaco.com Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=213039#213039 ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 04:54:34 PM PST US From: Subject: Kolb-List: 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. -------------------------------------------------- > > >> > > > ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 05:54:34 PM PST US From: "Jack B. Hart" Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Re: Econo Miser!! 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. ............................................ Jack B.

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. -Dana -- The city is not a concrete jungle.
