Subject: | Re: Bean Field Report |
Balloonists bring along a bottle of champagne>>
I have had to land out two or three times and have always made it a point to
take the farmer a couple of bottles of wine or a bottle of whisky. I have
after all dropped in on them uninvited.
Perhaps its just a left over response from gliding days where, bearing in
mind that if farmers got really nasty and made trouble every time a glider
landed out they could more or less stop x-country glidung in its tracks. The
gliding club made any local farmer who was interested an honorary member and
offered them a flight whenever they showed up at the field. Just good
public relations.
Cheers

I just noticed there aren't any Firestars on the New Kolb site...
Did they quit selling them ?
Maybe somebody else is taking over that segment ?

I pulled my plugs to see how they looked after flying the HACman system
for three hours or so at the higher EGT readings.
These plugs now have 50 hours on them, and couldn't look better.
I just uploaded a new entry to my blog with a short video on the flight
that I made this morning. Not as long as I would have like as the
weather was a bit cranky.

I need to find a replacement for NGK DRC8E, but Nipondenso doesn't have an

Daniel, I've had to do this on my Firestar and a few other aircraft so if
you want a quick primer, I'll give it a shot. It helps to have a helper to
record values and read the tape when you set the pilot's position. One
assumption here is that your Firestar has a 2 stroke engine so there is no
oil weight variable.
1. Get the aircraft in position. For a Kolb, prop up the tail wheel unti
l
the bottom of the wing is at 9 degrees.
2. I don't like to work with negative numbers so I set zero datum by
dropping a plumb line from the front of the nose cone.
3. Run a tape measure from the zero datum to at least the contact point
of the tail wheel
4. Now start dropping plumb lines. You need the pilot station (your nave
l
when seated in the aircraft as you would be while flying, the contact po
int
of the main gear, the leading and trailing edge of the wing, the center
of
the fuel tank and the contact point of the tailwheel.
5. Weigh the aircraft in position.
6. Calculate the datum for the 18, 25 and 35% chord position.
7. Use heaviest pilot wt. say 270 lb, and 1/2 gallon of fuel as the most
fwd cg condition. it should come out at or aft of the 18% point.
8. Use lightest pilot wt. say 150 lb. and full fuel as the most aft cg
condition. It should fall at or fwd of the 35% point.
Well that's how I did it and the FAA rep or the DAR never questioned my
data.
