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.

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. john h mkIII Titus, Alabama ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 03:13:42 PM PST US From: Dana Hague Subject: Re: Kolb-List: High Temperature Silicone At 04:09 PM 4/12/2011, Dennis Thate wrote: >I'm looking for a High Temperature Silicone to use on my Rotax exhaust >springs.

Dennis T/Gang: I use ordinary silicone seal on my exhaust springs and it works great. john h all 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 young mkiii do not archive ________________________________ Message 9 _____________________________________ Time: 03:36:25 PM PST US From: "John Hauck" Subject: Re: Kolb-List: High Temperature Silicone 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 young mkiii 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. john h mkIII Titus, Alabama ________________________________ Message 10 ____________________________________ Time: 04:12:25 PM PST US Subject: Re: Kolb-List: High Temperature Silicone From: zeprep251@aol.com John, Did you get those springs from JBM?

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.
