- Jason- That was definately not a bad video.- We have nothing like tha
t around here, and I have never even had the opportunity to see something l
ike it.- I have never been farther west than Cherryvale, Kansas, or Oshko
sh- both for work, not pleasure.- Please send more.
- Did you notice any engine problems?- Is the Yamaha a snowmobile engin
e, or motorcycle?- I had three different Yamaha motorcycles in the mid '7
0's to early '80's, and was quite happy with the reliability.- Do you hav
e a web site covering the conversion?

I second the THANKS to all those who have and serve presently in the military.
It was suggested that I might be named "activities director" at MV. Thanks but
no thanks. I can not make the trip. I am the guy whose wife asked, "What
are you do today?" I told her "nothing". She responded with, "I thought you
did "nothing" all last week". I did, but I didn't get through.
Hope John H. gets to go home from the hospital today. Keep us posted.

Hello Bill,
The engine ran great. I Put 3.9 hours on the hobbs and burned 14 gallons of fuel.
Below is a link to a thread on the forum that describes the conversion and
has a you tube video you can watch.

Jason, Horace Greeley said it best, "Go west, young man, go west." The
museum in the old blimp hangar at Tillamook is a great destination and you
can get a real good cheeseburger at the cafe there. If you want to get
daring and you can handle a bit of a crosswind head south from there and
land on the beach at Cape Kiwanda or head north up the coast to Astoria.
There's no facilities at the old Coast Guard station but the runways make
for no crosswinds and the views all the way up the coast are spectacular.
Some really great flying to be had when the ceiling lifts.

Hello Rick,
I considered going to the coast, but I am time constrained. I need to get my flying
done and get home in time to get my son to soccer. The coast was forecast
to have low ceilings (fog) from about 8 to 10 am which is exactly the time
I would need to be there and get home in time. One of these days my time allotment
and the weather will align so that I will get to see the ocean from my MKIII.

Have you considered selling drawings of your adapter plate and
other mods to use the C box on the Vector engine? Herb

Hello Herb,
If the follow the engine thread, there is the number of the person to contact for
adapters to put the Rotax "C" gearbox on the Yamaha engine. A word of caution.
Converting an engine for use on an airplane is not a slam dunk, even if
it is working acceptable well for me, you will still have to go through the process
of making it work for you and that process can be painful.

Hi Jason,
Awesome mountain flying in your (MKI/MKIII?). The power plant sounds nice and
smooth. Could you please post photos and details of your Yamaha installation?
Always fascinated by innovation.
[Idea]
Thanks,
Dave

all: yeah, go ahead and laugh. It's May 16th. If Thom Riddle hadn't flown
over in his SS the Kolb might still be
resting in the big steel barn. Perfect sunny day and with the experienced help
of a fellow Kolber the appropriate parts
were unfurled to meet the marvelous high pressure air we had here today.
It was an extended Xcountry flight of about 4 minutes to my recently mowed strip.
Engine ran great after getting the fuel
pump to fill up the lines and float bowl. Take off RPM on the suzuki is 5300
run through a 2.26:1 belt redrive.
If I had a scientifically tuned intake and exhaust with a different cam I'm sure
those numbers could be moved up.
-It's only a Geo folks.
Anyway, diving at my strip at a hair-raising 60 mph with half flaps yielded a pleasant
mid field touchdown and a smile on my face.
Got in one more shorty after lunch. If I logged all my takeoffs and landings it
would exceed my total time.

Very good news, Bob. I had a fellow asking about Raven engines and redrives
at our EAA chapter meeting yesterday. Be sure and share lots of details and
I'll pass them along.
Must have been the day for it. I got the new radiator all mounted and
plumbed this morning so when the blue hole opened up after noon I was ready.
6 T & G's and a full stop and a trip around the Duchy, too. NO LEAKS! Good
day for both of us.
