Larry,
?? Great pictures! Want to ask you about the EIS readings.The 2.5 reading and below
it the 5? When I was flying my FS there was one page that showed the egts
and chts for both cyls on the far right,vsi in the lower middle and alt and rpm
on far left.Can you still program the unit yourself?

For what ever reason Face book is giving me a bad time. I
think that the other link that I sent only shows one photo. There are 25 in the
album. This one will take you there.
Sorry,

Gary,
The 2.5 is my aux reading for my fuel tank, The four stroke EIS has
two aux sensors, I only use one of them and the default is 5 on the
unused one. It indicates that I have 2.5 gallons of fuel left in that
tank.
There are several screens available to use. The one that I prefer
shows from left to right - top left is RPM, bottom left is Oil temp/
pressure, middle is the Aux readings of fuel levels, The far right is
highest EGT on top and the highest CHT on the bottom.

Hi Grant,
To get your videos loaded into You Tube in the highest quality, when you edit the
video, make the final video at a resolution of 1280 x 720 and upload it at
that resolution. The video can be up to 1 Gigabyte in size, and it will take
a long time to upload, but it will work. Even if your camera is not HD, uploading
in this resolution will result in the best quality video from a normal camera.
The jerking if you are getting it is due to your computer slowing down. Make sure
there is nothing else running when you watch HD video, it does take a pretty
fast computer to watch HD smoothly.

| Subject: | Re: Check your Horiz. Stblzr bolts |
My horizontal stab front attachment bolts show zero wear after about 200 hours.
It is very important for the tail attachment to be able to slide on these bolts,
if not the attachment will fatigue due to bending and fail [Shocked]
I keep this area as well as all other moving areas well greased. Not only do I
have zero wear, my flight controls feel like they are on bearings. Someone
mentioned the issue of grease attracting dirt, which is not ideal, but this just
has not been a problem. Given the reports in this thread, metal to metal
wear is a problem and is bad.
So for the grease causing more wear theory, it is just not happening. There is
a saying " Results trump theory every time ". I will go with what is actually
happening rather than what someone thinks might be a probelm.

I don't think you will gain any appreciable speed by lowering the incidence of
the wings. In the end, at cruise, you will still have to fly with the wings at
the same angle of attack for a given speed. Your nose will be sticking up more
in cruise, and you will feel like you are climbing when you are level.
I think the much faster speeds in the Kolbra and Slingshot are due to the reduced
drag of a narrow tandem fuselage, and very little to do with the reduced wing
incidence. If a lot of cruise speed could be gained as easily as just reducing
the wing incidence and putting taller gear in, I think Kolb and a lot of
others would have already done this.

Really great pictures Larry, that looks like a great place to fly. That HKS is
a great engine to have considering the terrain you fly over.

| Subject: | HKS heat problems |
Earlier Richard G. suggested that I needed to lower my clip one notch to
get more fuel into the carbs to lower my CHT's, while on the face of it
the idea is sound. I resisted doing that because the engine is oil
cooled, and if anything the oil temps were a bit lower that it really
should have been, and did not correlate. The EGT's were lower than they
should have been as well. It just didn't compute.
On my flight yesterday I left my choke on full while I flew 70 miles on
one leg of the trip. ( I am a bit ashamed that it wasn't on purpose) My
temps were actually cooler by about 10 degrees or a bit more. The engine
ran fine, enough that I had no idea that I had left it on. For the
return 70 miles I did not have the choke on, and the CHT was a bit
higher, but not quite (seemed to me) as high as it has been. I do have
almost 10 hours on the engine now. Today I pulled the plugs to see what
they look like. They are sooty, not terribly, but indicate too much gas
getting to them.
Now I want to assure you that I mean no criticism of any of the ideas
that I have been given by any of you. We are all fumbling in the dark,
with not enough information to know what course to take. I did want to
share with those who might be interested what seems to be happening.
Another disclaimer is needed here. I am a pessimist by nature, operating
on the theory that I can only be vindicated if things go wrong and best
case, pleasantly pleased when they work out.
My conclusion- I need to fly more!

Larry,
??? The EGT on my 2200 jabiru are 1390 at cruise.I don't know if the mixture will
have much effect on CHTs,they are air cooled and run almost constantly at 290.On
GA aircraft engines,leaning to peak often gives exhaust temps in that range.Does
HKS give any guide lines for temps?

Looks like some unfriendly terrain below. You must actually have to have a backup
plan if you get stranded out there.
I base my engine out decisions on whose backyard is the biggest...:)

I took a suggestion from Larry Bourne and bought a "Spot" locator that
I take with me, and leave a flight plan with the wife when I go. I also
try real hard to stick to it. One of the reasons that I bought the HKS
is that I like to go straight line, and this is the best I can do to
make it safe or at least stack the odds in my favor. The wife's
instructions in case I don't return, is to draw a line from my last
known position to where I was supposed to be going and I should be
somewhere close to that line. :-) As you can tell most of the places
here are few and far between. It isn't very hard at all to be somewhere
that it would take you more than a day to walk out of if you weren't
injured.
