Thanks Joe, the video was taken with a Canon Rebel T2i digital camera in movie
mode. My son held it while shooting. It works fairly well as it keeps the camera
pretty steady in turbulent air. We were shooting another aircraft on the way
to Milaca.

Did you attached the master cylinder to the heel brakes or do you use a
handle brake?
I would like to see pictures of the heel brake setup

Here is a Picture of my Kolb Firestar II with a different set of Wheels on
the
Black Max System...... If you buy extra wheel hubs you can change both tir
es in
less than 5 minutes.... You remove a cotter pin then unscrew a Nylon Nut
using a
Ratchet and 15/16" Socket. Put the different set of Wheels on, replace the
one
nut and cotter pin, and your ready to Fly.... In this Picture I have 8" ri
ms
that have standard DOT approved Radial Trailer Tires... .. I use this set-
up
when I am using the paved Runway.......... When I am on a Grass Strip it
is back
to the Tundra Tires.......... Joe

| Subject: | 582 High Coolant Temp |
Kolbers - I'm trying to complete the engine break-in on my new 582, and struggling
with high coolant temp. I burped the system several time to remove the air
and checked that the radiator is full (using Prestone pre-diluted dexcool).
I've got the dual radiator system. The coolant temp slowly climbs during running
and I can't get above about 5500 rpm without the coolant temp kissing 180F
at which point I pull to idle and shutdown. The outside air temp was about 75F.
I've checked the coolant temp probe and I believe it is measuring temp correctly.
I'm concerned about lack of airflow through the radiator when trying to
do a 1 hr engine ground run. Not sure what to do at this point except wait
for a colder day.
Anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions?

Mark, when I was doing the ground break-in on my 618, I was told to use a
garden hose and spray water onto the radiator. Worked for me.

Back in 2003, Steven Green had a 582 on his MKIII, and was having trouble keeping
the temps down with that radiator setup. Don't remember the details, but I
did save the pictures he posted. The goal was to keep hot air from the exhaust
manifold from going through the radiator, plus duct air around the carbs better,
and he reported good results.
The pictures will have to be self explanatory, as I don't remember the details,
sorry.

I sprayed water on the radiator to keep it cool.

Here's a couple pix of mine, on my UltraStar. These are Hegar, not Black
Max, master cylinders, driving the Black Max calipers.
Had a bit of trouble with the brakes today. Went out to fly, taxied out to
the runway, and the left brake pedal went to the floor and stuck
there. Taxied back to my trailer, and it was a good thing, because
contrary to the forecast, the winds suddenly picked up and started howling,
gusting to 20, which is real nasty on this hilltop airport. Anyway, turned
out the master cylinder was scored, not sure why, probably a bit of crud
got in it. Took it home, honed it out and replaced the o-rings, went back
and spent some time bleeding the system... and the caliper bleeder screw
stripped out, Grrrrr... took it home and managed to tap it out for a
larger bleeder screw, but not before sunset. Oh well, hopefully tomorrow
will be better...
