I do appreciate all the imput on the harmonics. I check all the bolts and
as much of the frame and attachments before each flight I can. I try not to
miss anything. I hate to take off and think, darn, I dont think I
checked --? I am very aware what vibration can do to objects. I was a
truck mech for thirty some years and welder all my life so I know about
that. I have MATCO brakes on my slingshot. Came with manual one handle
brakes. Very inadequate. I did donuts at thirty mph once on landing. With
castor wheels you need separate controls. I bought a MATCO set from Haucks
bro, had them on a jenny he was building. Good price. Good brakes. Had to
rig them myself which just required some ingenuity. Never have had a
moments problem with them. Would use them again. Hope this rain stops so I
can work on my baby and get some air time. Got gravity fever. Glad I aint
planning on going to sun-un-fun!!! ted cowan, slingshot, 912ul

Subject: | Re: engine offset mount question |
Hey Jimmy,
I'm not an expert on this at all. But my experiences are similar to Lucien's.
I'm of the opinion it has more to do with the roll of the prop wash hitting one
side of the rudder more than the other.
I can get into a jam when I apply throttle very quickly requiring a lot of right
rudder to correct. Rudder wash push, at slow roll speed with little rudder
authority. Looks like the 2-strokes push one way and the 4-strokes push the other
due to prop rotation.
I guess I'm saying I got the same issues. If it where me and you have the runway
length, experiment with slower throttle input and see how that comes out.
I start crooked when I'm doing max TO's and get ahead of it with early rudder
input. Usually have enough rudder authority when I get back to the centerline.
I would leave it set for best cruise if it where me.

Subject: | Re: engine offset mount question |
Lucien & John-
Thanks for your input. That is pretty much how I handle it now, by easing in to
full power. I also keep the tail on the ground a bit longer and it helps pin
the rear from going right on me.
My main question though is, on a pusher set up if an engine is offset to the left
a bit as mine is now, does that promote the plane to turn more to the right
or left, since the engine is behind the center of gravity?
On another topic; John, I wish I could take a couple of days off right now. I would
fly over to Nauga to meet the Wandering Wench and her wingman! I know they
will have a great time at your strip. I'm going to Sun & Fun next week and hope
to meet her there!

Jimmy:
If you see me at Lakeland, ask me about experimentation with off set engines
on Kolbs. Be glad to share what I learned from that. Also, for the same
price, I'll share with you what I learned from off setting the leading edge
of the upper vertical stabilizer.

It should, as we did that all the time on our r/c planes to counteract torque (tho
that was in a tractor config).
But I'm going along with the theory that the yawing tendency is due to the rotating
downwash acting on the rudder rather than torque on FS II. Mine yawed the
opposite way you'd expect if it were torque (right hand prop = left hand torque
should = yaw to the left). So I'm not sure that offset is going to be very
affective (it doesn't seem to be in your case?).
Instead you want to reduce the angle of the prop wash on the rudder and the easiest
way to do that is to be moving through the air faster when the prop is turning
the fastest. I.e. slower application of power.
That's what I did on my FS II. And actually, the only time I had to put the left
pedal to the floor or close to it was going to WOT right away. Getting some
forward speed first always reduced that a lot and made it easily manageable. There
wasn't really any flight situation I ever got in where I needed full power
immediately anyway so that technique seemed to be the best cure....

My aluminum welding is what most could call "light". Probably 1/8" or

BTW, are you back to work on the MKIII Xtra yet?

Subject: Re: Kolb-List: MIG welding aluminum
I have been a Welder for over 30 years a lot of the guys have good info
but here is my opinion of what I would do
First, How thick of material are you looking to weld, anything 1/8 inch
and thicker, a spool gun works great I run a couple L-Tec 28-A spool guns
and Profax spool gun I like the L-TEC better, but these are more for
production work.
if your looking to weld any thickness material "thick or thin" a Tig Torc
h
hooked to a welding machine with AC & High Freq is best no matter what
Process you decide on 100% Argon gas is the only one to use to weld Alumi
num
keep the welding area super clean durty aluminum does not weld good at
all, Stainless steel brush (good advice )
I never had much Luck with the smaller mig machines welding aluminum and
I
have tried a few different ones over the years
Good luck with your welding adventure and if I can be of any help feel
free to ask
