Hello All=2C
I've acquired an older Firestar I=2C 503 DCDI. Live about an hour west of
Spokane=2C Washington. Was wondering if there's anyone in my general area
who'd mind me tagging along with them in their Kolb two-seater a time or
two? Would just like to get a little "cockpit perspective." If there's
anyone willing in the Puget Sound area I'm going to be over their Tuesday (
this afternoon)
and Wednesday.
Thanks Much=2C

I'm looking for a High Temperature Silicone to use on my Rotax exhaust springs.
Can someone recommend a product and supplier.

I use ordinary silicone seal on my exhaust springs and it works great. I
have used permatex copper silicone gasket maker before, but could tell no
difference from what I am using now on the Titan Exhaust System on my
912ULS.

i will second this,,,, as i remember, you can cure regular silicone at
400 deg... and out on the springs there is plenty of cooling down from the
exhaust gas temps.
i safety wire through the springs then also between center points from
spring to spring, and pull the springs slightly out of column. then add
the silicone, this greatly reduces the viberatons.

Boyd Y/Gang:
I used to use safety wire on my two stroke exhaust systems. Was very time
consuming.
On the 912 exhaust I don't use wire, but squeeze the silicone seal from hook
to hook forcing it into the full length of the coil. Each hook and loop
gets a good dose to keep any parts that should break from going through the
prop.
I recently installed SS springs. They are said to last much longer than the
standard spring, but cost nearly $5.00 each.

Jerry,
I have gone through my junk and I cannot find the brown envelope from Kolb
on which I wrote his name. I got on maps.google.com and looked for the
place but I could not find it. As I remember it, he lived north of Dudley,
but he worked in Dexter at a machine shop.
That's the best I can do.

Spend a half a day modifying your exhaust and never worry about springs again.
Buy some exhaust pipe clamps and cut off the ends where the bolts go through and
weld those pieces to your exhaust. Pick up some 5/16" bolts at Lowes and drill
holes in them for cotter pins. Get 4 stiff springs that will fit over the
bolts and forget about silicone.
Once every 2 or 3 years buy new bolts because the old ones will chafe and wear
grooves in them, but they will still be 1/4" thick. Even grade 3 steel 1/4" in
diameter is a lot more reliable than brand new Rotax springs. Been doing this
for years now, have almost $15 invested in it.

Made a second successful flight in my 582 powered Mark3 Classic today. I used
a friend's hyd press to straighten the landing gear i bent on the first flight
and per Steve Green's advice installed some air scoops on the twin radiators
to improve cooling airflow. it did the trick because the highest coolant temp
I saw was 147F (OAT was about 60F). Next step is to install a trim tab on the
rudder and tweak the left flap down a hair to compensate for slight left wing
low (I fly from the left seat). Any suggestions as to how big the trim tab
should be? Also I need to get book binding tape from Travis to gap seal the
flaps and ailerons. Stall speed clean was about 42 mph.
