For those that don't know here's what John H. is talking about.
http://www.ill-eagleaviation.com/prop_laser.htm
Note that John used his handy Warp supplied protractor to set the first blade to
the pitch he wanted, then used the new tool to match the rest of the blades
to the first one. You can also use the new tool without the protractor by calculating
the offset needed. For example if your leveled prop blade was 60" off
the floor you would need about 1 1/16" of offset for every degree of pitch.
There should be enough info in the pictures for anyone to copy the design to use
for themselves. If you would like one made for you Paul and I would be happy
to do that as well. The cost would be $30.

That is awesome. Given the long distance to the floor, the laser would be much
more sensitive than any protractor would be, and the pitch could be set much
more precisely with the laser.

Mike:
That is exactly what Scott's instrument did for me.
Was the quickest I have ever synch'd all three blades and the closest I have
ever gotten them all to the same pitch.
Well worth $30.00. I got mine. ;-)

Another alternative is the Geo motor. You can check it out on

I would suggest that you buy the completed kit and specify the 1.3 liter 16 valves.
Vassily is pretty good at getting the complete unit, but not as good at public
relations. :-)
I opted for the 1.3 16 valves double overhead cams, rated at around 110 hp, I can
always de-rate it if I have to.
You will need to modify the mount from that single tube rotax mount but its easy
to do I have the photos from my modification.

| Subject: | 912ULS integrated alternator question |
Hi all,
I'm curious for the 912 gurus, is it ok for the integrated alternater on the 912
series to have no load on it? I just discovered last night that my reg/rect
is long since burnt out. At least for the last 3 or 4 operating hours anyway.
finally smelled a rat after yesterday's flight that the battery took a bunch of
charge where some several flights before it was still most of the way charged
after the same electrics were used. My voltage would always run low when I had
the electrics on so didn't notice it on the voltmeter either.
I checked the stator resistance with my ohmmeter according to the heavy maint.
manual and that looks correct. Also ran er up with the meter hooked to the two
generator leads and got a good 15 volts AC at high idle, on up to 25 and more
as I revved it up. So the stator appears to be undamaged.
Can't find anything in the manuals about any adverse affects of operating the alternator
with no load, which is what the case has been for a bit now. Anyone
know? I assume it's ok since it's just a coil of wire with no current flow due
to the open circuit.
Ordering new R/R on Monday. Plane is just getting newer and newer all the time!

Jimmy,
I took the Rotax 2 stroke class last month. They provided a repair manual. In
the manual when it talks about reassembling the B gearbox it says:
"Attach cover with 6 hex hd screws M8 and spring washer and tighten crosswise to
24 Nm (210 in. lb.)"
Where exactly is it leaking?
I'm sure you know this, but the oil is to be filled only to the lower drain plug.
When I first checked my plane after buying it they had filled it up too much.

I you are looking for a very inexpensive engine option for a Kolb MKIII, one
that truly performs as well as a Rotax 912 and can swing a composite three
bladed prop you really need to consider a Redrive VW.

| Subject: | If you care to follow the MV trip |
Hello List,
If you care to follow the gaggle flight to MV, I have created a very simple little
blog.
http://kolbadventures.blogspot.com
Check the Links out. There is a google map with our proposed flight plan to MV
and then to the Rock House. Everyone can get to Google maps vs some of the aviation
flight planners.
This is my first attempt at this stuff. I'm not a "techo geek" and am learning
as I go. This was really created to let family (mostly wife) keep tabs on me.
I'm hoping "a picture is worth a thousand words" will help keep the phone calls
home to a tolerable duration. It may seem overly simplified because it is
intended primarily for non-aviators to look at.
I found that I can do all this with my very basic cell phone (no fancy I-phone).
I'm not lugging a laptop around and posting long dissertations daily. Just
a few short text messages and pics as we go. The quality won't be that great
using the phone but OK enough to give an idea of what we are up to. If I get
access to a computer and can log in, I might have a few good stories that I can
post. I'm sure there will be one or two at least. Some in the gaggle flight
"never play with a full deck" [Wink]
Made a short flight today and posted some as we went. This will give an idea of
what to expect. For me personally, I couldn't wait till the guys got back to
see pictures of the places they had been on their trips to MV and beyond.
Please don't be too critical on the quality of post. I won't get to edit and fix
pictures before I send them. I can barely see that little screen in the daylight!
Also, won't be responding to any comments real time but you are welcome
to contribute. I'll look at them when we get back.
I got a little "Arty Envy" and really enjoyed following Arty on her blog documenting
her adventure. She is something, stuck out on the front of that Drifter
all the way across the country and back. Hope some of you enjoy following along.
That is the intent.
9 days and a wake up!
