I set my 66" Powerfin 2-blade at the most pitch to date that I have ever tried. Those who are familiar with a Powerfin will know it is changed with a feeler gauge between the hub and a pin you insert in a hole, and I've now got it set at .065". Have no idea what pitch or degree that is, just know it's more pitch. It cost me a little climb, about 150 fpm, but I picked up a good 5-7 mph airspeed. It will be a good winter setting. I used to easily hit redline in WOT straight/level, now I have to keep it firewalled for a while & it will get to about 6150 rpm (redline is 6200). It is nice though to look down and see the ASI past 60 most of the time rather than the low 50's. We are having a fly-in today at our airport, Bailes Field (6R5). I'll take a few photos & if any are worthy I'll post them tomorrow. Should be a beautiful day for flying, 5 mph winds and a high in the low 70's. -------- Jimmy Young Missouri City, TX Kolb FS II/HKS 700 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=318373#318373 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:51:46 AM PST US From: Dana Hague Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Re: Okla City Turnaround At 09:22 PM 11/5/2010, russ kinne wrote: >You're might on about the current tax procedure. >Years ago, every airport near the state border would be near-empty the >first week in Oct -- if you were in CT on Oct 1, you got taxed.

Now, the airport owner or manager sends a list to the town clerk, and the town clerk sends out registration forms to the owners. The registration fee depends on gross weight. Ultralights seem to be exempt. Dana do not archive -- I can see clearly now, the brain is gone... ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 05:32:04 PM PST US From: Dana Hague Subject: Kolb-List: Fwd: Please help keep ethanol free gasoline available >Date: Sat, 06 Nov 2010 19:07:01 -0500 >From: info@e0pc.com >Subject: Please help keep ethanol free gasoline available > >If you are looking for ethanol free mogas you have probably heard of the >web site >www.pure-gas.org, which lists locations around the country to find sources. > >The owner of the site has started a petition to send to EPA administrator >Lisa Jackson, >who actually has the authority to make sure ethanol free premium unleaded >gasoline is >available.
