| Subject: | Re: Gaggle of 5 in Sherman, TX |
Hi everybody,
Just got back from my first trip to MV , 2874 miles by trailer. I flew
for almost 5 Hrs.while
i was there , met several of the people that use the kolb-list, and
learned quite a bit about
my airplane [a couple of things I had done wrong when I built it].
Also had several Firsts -
first time I ever operated from anything other than sea level- first
tailwind landing-first time
landing or tacking off up or downhill-also the first time I ever flew
where there was much
thermal activity.There were some very pretty airplanes .One poor guy
had about as much
bad luck as a person can have [ on his whole trip ] no one hurt. I"ll
let him , or someone
else write about that. All in all I had more fun than I"ve had in a
lot of years, much more
than a 68 year old should have. I felt like a kid again with new and
exciteing things to do.
I hope I can talk my wife into going next year.

Gang,
John B, Bruce C, Mike Marker and John Hauck are all here. The wind
has made it very interesting, hope that it will calm down so that we can
do some serious flying.

| Subject: | Rotax 582 Gearbox Choices |
I found a good deal on a Rotax 582 for my Mark III project, but don't know which
gearbox to pick. I definitely want electric start. Will an B, C, or E box
work equally well on a Mark III? I've heard that I can only use a B box or I'll
have to raise the engine mounts and the thrust line may be too high. Those
of you who have (or had) 582's, what gearbox are you using and what gear ratio?
Thanks.

Mark, The B box has some limits on which props you can use. Its allowable
prop inertia is half that of the C and E boxes. I have a C box with a 4:00
to 1 ratio. It requires nothing special to mount and has clearance for a 68"
prop.

kts all the way up to 9000ft. Looks pretty good. The truck is loaded, trailer
