Ray, I know you found the answer to your engine problem. I don't know if you got
the answer to your above question. It looks like CPS sells the repair manual
you were looking for.
http://www.rotaxparts.net/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=1213
This is the one I got when I took the 2-stroke class
#1247 Rotax 532-582-618 Repair Book ($29.95)
even though it doesn't exactly cover the 503, most of the information in the manual
applies to the 503 as well.

He stayed in Europe for quite some time, flying Sprit around Europe, until
he got sick of the attention and went home (yes, on a ship). His plane was
crated up and, if I recall correctly, shipped back courtesy of the US
Navy. But read his book... the movie was quite accurate, Jimmy Stewart was
himself a pilot, but the book is the authoritative source... and required
reading for all pilots.
His (and his wife's) other writings are also must reads.

My 912 oil vent tube goes into a plastic bottle filled with a brass scrubber pad.
the vent tube end is about an inch from the bottom of the bottle. A bit of
oil will collect in the bottle which I then suck or dump out. Never any oil on
the bottom of the plane. This is simple, cheap and works well

All,
I have not posted for awhile but do monitor the Kolb list as time permits. I have
moved my Kolb Mark 3 Classic (BMW powered) from Mobile, AL to Tucson, AZ due
to a job change. Had no problem after following suggestions from the list on
how to pack into a 26 foot Penske truck. I did have problems transporting my
BMW powered, 3 wheeled vehicle but that is another story. I have attached 2 pictures.
I have the airplane wings reattached and am storing it in an RV storage building
in Green Valley, AZ. In spite of all the open (desert) area where I am living
in the Green Valley - Sahuarita area (15 miles south of Tucson), I am having
problems finding a place to keep and fly my airplane without going to a large
General Aviation airport about 45 mintues away (south west of Tucson). I found
two perfect paved airstrips (Continental in Green Valley, and another one about
10 minutes south on I19) but both are closed with no possibility of using
again.
I also found a private strip with homes around it about 30 minutes west of me and
am trying to see if one of the homeowners will let me share space in their
hanger.
Anyone have any experience with renting landing rights from a land owner and putting
up a small hanger? Are there zoning issues that the county or state may
have?
Any suggestion would be helpful as I am anxious to get flying again.

Ralph B.,
Read about this vent line problem before. Think it was on Rotax site.
Routed my oil vent line down thru the bottom of my fuselage.
Put a plastic (T) fitting near the end of my vent line before it exited
thru the fabric at the bottom with the side leg open to unpressurized air
inside the fuselage. This will break any vacuum created by slip stream passing
the end of the tube below the aircraft.

They make a after market breather kit for VWs (you would find it in a dune
buggy catalog) for less than $30 that I have one installed on my engine. The
breather box is a small foam filled vented aluminum box with ports for two
valve covers and the main VW breather three total. The ports are installed
low in the box so that any captured oil will drain back into the engine. The
breather requires no maintenance and keeps oil off my tail feathers.
The engine still leaks a very small amount of oil but it doesn't come from
the breather like before. Great Planes aircraft and Valley Engineering (my
redrive manufacturer) both have oil separators that I have tried but didn't
work.

Rick N/Gang:
I was surprised to learn, after putting a few hours on my first 912 in 1994,
that a lot of waste from the combustion process is dumped out the oil tank
vent tube. This stuff is nearly clear and looks, feels, and smells like a
solvent. Also, any condensation in the engine is dumped out the vent tube.
I don't want to restrict this vent to keep my airplane tidy. Therefore,
you'll usually find oil/solvent residue on my prop blades, radiator/oil
cooler.
One way to keep the airplane cleaner is not overfill the oil tank. Burp the
crankcase by following the procedure described in the owners manual to
insure the oil level is correct. If I overfill, which I routinely do, the
first negative G situation I get into pushes oil to the top of the oil tank
where crankcase pressure promptly pushes it into the vent tube. That
really makes a mess.
Normally, it is not a problem if I don't overfill.

I've not tried it but I think/guess/suppose you can do a standard "save as" to
get the image onto your computer, after which I assume you can print as you see
fit. Like most things in the modern world, to get the official chart you must
buy them from approved vendors, many of which can be found on-line.

I believe that this is true.. Several years after the flight the Spirit was given
to the Smithsonian. They hung it from the ceiling 10 or so feet above the
floor. One day years later an elderly gentleman appeared in the Directors office
and asked if he could "sit in my airplane for a while"?
The museum closed the exhibition room, got a ladder and helped the gentleman up
to the cockpit where he sat remembering his flight across the Atlantic.

As far as hangars go, check local ordinances about taxes for fixed versus
mobile structures. In my county, if it has a hitch, even if it's on a
concrete pad, it's a mobile and taxed at a much lower rate. The Port-o-Port
hangars are pricey but even the double wide with two hitches passes in most
counties. If were to do it again, I'd use one of the Carports of America, or
somesuch, buildings tailored to suit and weld a hitch to the frame.

Tim,
To the NW of Tucson there's an ultralight field owned and operated by a great guy
called H.L.Cooper. Kolb friendly, I met and hung out with Arizona Dave there
when he brought is plane in for it's inspection.
It's two criss-cross dirt runways and several open sided hanger buildings (more
for shade than anything else).
On the Phoenix sectional map... V105 from the Tucson VOR runs at 288 degrees magnetic...
24 n.miles from the Tucson VOR, V105 crosses over an air field markerd
Taylor PVT. Right nexr to the Talor field is another airfield marked "ultralight"...
that's HL's place. He lives on site and he's an AP and CFI...
Several years ago his phone number was 520.682.7504. If it doesn't work contact
me off line... I know how to track him down... I you call him give'm a big "Aloha
Nui" from me.
Good Luck...
Aloha,
