Subject: | Re: Pitot static port location |
I have had good success in changing the pressure seen by the static ports using
a dab of RTV either fore or aft of the port.
My current Slingshot setup has the dural pitot/static tubes mounted below the nose
cone with an extender for the pitot mounted flexibly and going out about six
inches forward of the nose. My static tube has a Tee in side the cockpit so
it is sensing both the pressure outside the at the static port and under the
panel. With this setup, it reads TAS on the ASI at about 2,000' - 2,500' density
altitude.
Speaking of density altitude, I calculated it this morning and here at KBUF, the
DA at 7 AM was -3,675'. Coldest yet this winter here at 1 degree.... but clear
skies for a change and low winds. About -4F at my house.

Hi Thom=2C
Thanks for the pitot info.
-3=2C675' density altitude?? I think even Capt Nemo would have trouble f
lying
at that level!! (think about it=2C it'll come to you)
BTW=2C thanks for the pitot comments=2C everyone=2C but I think I'll pro
ceed with
what I mentioned previously (2 side ports=2C etc=2C etc.) If that design n
eeds some adjustment=2C
then I'll work on it later. Cheers!!

Hi Folks:
I sent some posts to the Kolb List earlier, each with a photo attached. That was
three hours ago. Still no posts.
If I resend, the old posts will arrive.
*****************************************************
Hi Folks:
Got to fly a little yesterday, in addition to washing Miss P'fer for the
first time in 9 months. She is 50 lbs lighter now.
Was a beautiful Sunday afternoon, just a little wind out of the NW. I flew
the Tallapoosa River, not far from Wetumpka Airport. My son, Mike, was
going to be running the river in his jon boat. Found Mike and his buddy on
a short, rough sand bar. Too short and rough, I chose a gravel bar up
stream about a half mile. Now that I have the first gravel bar out of the
way, the next one will be a lot more fun and not nearly as intimidating as
this one was.
That was my first off field landing since the first part of last year. I
have only logged 3 hours air time since 10 May 2010.
Does my mkIII fly any better clean? Couldn't really tell any difference.

Looks great John Glad to see you back in the saddle again posting all the
great pics of all your flying adventures
But I have to ask where did you ditch the 50 lbs I hope it wasn't just the
grime you washed off your airplane
Cold weather is really biting us here in Maine now so I probably wont be
flying for a while -15 degrees this morning

Ellery B/Chris D/Gang:
Weather got better here for a few days. Supposed to start raining tonight
and get cold again here. Glad I was able to get out and do some flying
while it was nice.
Washed 50 lbs of crud off the mkIII after sitting in the hanger on the farm
for 9 months. Last time I washed her was just before Sun and Fun 2010.
Got word it was in the 50's at Larry Cottrell's Rock House. Looks like
warmer days are coming for Alabama. ;-)

Subject: | Re: Kolb/Jabiru carb overflow |
Gary and Thom....
I think you hit the nail on the head with crank case pressure....I thought it
was ok,then I got thinking last night ( I work nights so I had 12 hrs to think
about it ) and I got looking at the videos I made and the dates I made them,then
went to the weather channel and matched up outside temps for the days it flew
and the days it quit and the days it ran good the temps were 32+ and the days
it quit temps were 10 - 18 *.With a closer look today I believe the vent tube
was freezing up blocking off the venting of the case,The original catch cup
I had was loose fitting and starting to come apart so this summer I made a
new one with fittings in the top and a screw on cap for security and it worked
great in warmer temps ,but maybe not so good in the winter months.I will try
to run it tomorrow and will let you know how it goes...It all makes sense now
and why after everything we did it all came back to the same thing !
Thanks Thom and Gary ! I would not have considered this Knowing how simple the
system is...from now on I check this first, fuel pressure will now be monitored
all the time now.... and I should have known this too!
I will let you know for sure tomorrow!
ps...this is the picture of the catch can...i removed the Brillo pad that was getting
deteriorated and replaced it with paper toweling to soak up any moisture
and oil...I am back using A Brillo coarse mesh pad again and I think I'm going
to use larger diameter tubing too..when I took it apart you could see where
the toweling was right up against the in-coming and out going openings...

Chris A/Gang:
Is it mandatory to use a large catch can? or can you configure the breather
hose to dump overboard?
Does the engine blow that much oil through the breather? or is the catch
can also the air/oil seperator?

John,
It's more of an air/oil separator...this is where the moisture gets out of the
engine and without it it would make an annoying mess on the tail...the one I
had on last year had the Brillo pad in it and was not as tight as this one is...maybe
I made it too good !

Does Jabiru provide an air/oil seperator? or do you have to provide one of
your own design?

Chris I have installed and flown two of the same Jabiru engines you have
the 2200 I didnt get a big mess out of them and I would run that tube dow
n through the tail boom and out to the end of the rudder it if was making
that kind of a mess on the tail or
I am willing to make you an aluminum Can just for that crank case vent if
you would like with a petcock in the bottom of it so you can drain it on
pre flights
