Rick,
Thanks for that link. I'd never seen any gas lift struts that cheap before. Have
you bought any of their products? If so, how's the quality?

I've been doing business with Surplus Center for about 10 years, now. The
product description will always tell you if the item is new or a take off
(you'll find this primarily in electrical stuff) and I've never been
"bitten" by anything I've bought from them. You do need to watch the "in
stock" number in the description, too. If you want four and they only have
three, it could mess up your project planning considerably. In 2003 I took
on designing and building a machine that fed cedar shingles into an
automatic painting machine and a stacker for when they came out. I bought
all the drive components, hydraulic motors, sprockets, chains, and bearings
from them and everything was just as described and, so far as I know, is
still running just fine.
If you get on their mailing list, you'll get a nice catalog ever so often
that's kind of fun to look through. All in all, they're a great company,
they sell top rate stuff, not seconds, that I know of anyway, and they ship
promptly. Two thumbs up, as they say.

Subject: | Handling issues with the doors off in a MKIII reply |
Started the reply in a separate thread so that we could quit scrolling from side
to side to read the post.
Rant follows: Please resize the pictures so we don't have to scroll from side to
side all through the length of an extended post because the pictures are three
times the size of the screen. It's not that hard to fix:

C'mon guys - please?
Back to the topic at hand. I have flown with the doors off, and handling is fine,
but goggles are a good idea, because you will get a LOT of wind coming through.
I like my "Bikini" doors, I have one full set of doors for cold weather and
another Bikini set for the summer. Here is the Bikini set. It is just like
being in your car with the windows open, very airish, and no wind in the face.
Great for taking unobstructed pictures too. I suspect that I could have cut them
even further forward and they still would work OK, however last week I went
flying just before sunset, and by the time I was headed home, I was glad to
be able tuck my left arm in, as it was getting a bit coolish in the breeze.
If you put the hinges on the other way, half doors will not need a prop, because
you can lay them over on top of the windshield. I did these backwards. Duh...
Here is my door prop, it doesn't work with the half doors, but catches the back
end of the full door. A bit of rubber fuel line at the base, a bit of clear
at the tip to keep from scarring the Lexan or slipping. The OP suggested using
a spring, great idea, if you put it at the front, you can kick it out of column
with your foot when you are ready to close the door.

Kolb Friends -
I have a stack of Sport Aviation, EAA Experimenter, and Kitplanes
magazines that I'm getting ready to pitch. Dates are from about 2005 to
present. Free to whoever wants them. You pay postage (I'm guessing
approx $15). I'd rather send them to someone who might want to read
them rather than throw 'em away.

Subject: | RPM Drop after balance |
Howdy all
Could never get my 912ul to run for balancing with the crossover tube
removed. All I had to do is increase rpm Duh!
It always runs great full throttle but they were off by 5 tics of what ever
the gage sold by Lockwood uses for display. Now runs good and idles well.
I was pitched 5450 rpm before. Now wot is as low as 5000. Rarely higher than 5250
- 5300. Of course some of the variance is thermal related.
Here's the weired part If I pull up hard I can always get 5350.
Take off is mind blowing. In the air the last 1/4 throttle doesn't seem to change
rpm. Well that may be true on TO but I don't have time to think about checking
it.
Anyone got a clue? I surely don't. :

I might be...good reading for the long Winters. I'll think about it, and let you
know. Would consider trading for a five year stack of 'Modern Drummer Magazines'....about
80 magazines ! [Laughing]
