When I was in the process of installing that Xtra nosecone, I anticipated
that it would 'cave in'(depress)>>
Mike,
you may have thought that but in practice it doesn`t. If you are happier
with the added ribs (and weight) that's fine but they not needed.. Someone
mentioned the aerodynamic properties of the nose. as far as is possible to
tell from flying the Xtra does generate a bit of lift from the nose if you
fly sideways or slip. It is just about noticeable and no problem.

Richard,
sounds as though you have a real pig there.
My Xtra does none of those things.
The nose does not collapse, It does not want to dive into the ground, It
will threepoint perfectly well. Something very basic wrong by the sound
of it.
My only grouse is the speed. With 2600 rpm from the Jabi I only get
around 70 mph. I had expected 80 at least. I have no wheel spats which
may have added a couple more mph but a) I am up against our MAUW rule
and b) they fill up with mud in the winter.

Pat,
What prop do you have on your Jabiru. I believe the few Jab powered MkIIIX
here in the US are running 58" dia. x Sensenich props with about 40" pitch
(I think) and they report cruise speeds above 80 mph but at higher rpm than
2600. Which is about the same cruise speed I see on my Slingshot with 64"
diameter x 32" pitch. Due to the much larger diameter on mine, I expect mine
is a good bit louder, which is why I rarely cruise at over about 2650 rpm,
frequently slower when I'm not in a hurry.

Good Morning Folks,

I would not normally post this on the list but it came in on an

Trailering long distances can beat on the plane. so you need to support it
as well as possible. If you keep the wings on the plane, the fuselage must
be supported exactly at the folded wing support point.

The Firestar II is the two seat tandem version; quite a few of them were
built. This led to the Kolbra and Slingshot, but only the Firefly (and
earlier Ultrastar and Flyer) are 103 legal ultralights.

Thankee fer the input.
Tried to run the sand through the blaster again yesterday. after 3 days of
fan drying in the garage, sand was still too wet to feed properly
and what did feed was not sharp enough to adequately cut the old ceramic
paint off the muffler anyway. Noticed that
the soup at dinner last night had grit in it.
Am a slow learner, but I know when I'm whipped.
Went to the local welding supply this morning and got 100lbs of Black Beauty
blasting abrasive. Guy behind the counter
said it would carve your initials in a cannon ball.noticed it was grinding
holes in the sacks when I loaded it in truck.
Now I gotta be careful it doesn't eat a hole in the Nazi muffler..
Yesterday noticed in the fine print on the VHT header paint rattle-can that
the stuff is only to be applied when the humidity is 60% or lower.
Last day we had humidity that low here was in January. might have to drive
it up to South Dakota to paint it before Christmas.
The beat goes on.

Br'er Beuford,
I was having problems with humidity when I used the VHT on the straight pipes of
the beloved iron and black motorcycle...
Got good results by... cleaning the pipes good... wipe with acetone... dangled
them in the Hawaiian sun until hot to the touch... shot the VHT while the pipes
were hot. Cured by running copious amounts of hot exhaust gas through 'em.
I'm sure there are a bunch of reasons why not to do it this way... but it looked
good for about two years of running every day, when I did it again.
Good luck.

I think the Firestar will easily meet the Light Sport requirements. This allows
you to fly it with a Sport Pilot license. This license requires the training
and flight time as a PPL. Also no special physical exam is required. **IF** you
have never failed such an FAA required exam for a PPL.

Oil and fuel
Thanks for your great post Dana.
> More oil = less fuel/air ratio so the engine is actually running lean.
Back during the Pleistocene I was involved with 2-stroke motorcycles. Older guys
told me that extra oil can form an insulating barrier between the cylinder skirts
and the cylinder and cause a siezure. Makes me go Hmmmmm! Maybe it was a
lean condition instead or along with.

Just so he is not confused: you can fly anything that meets the light
sport requirements- 1350? (not sure of the exact weight) MPH
limitations, whether it is registered as Light sport or experimental
amateur built. However you will have to meet the 103 requirements if you
do not have a Sport Pilot lic. A Firefly would meet that quite handily.

I think the Firestar will easily meet the Light Sport requirements.
This allows you to fly it with a Sport Pilot license. This license
requires =BD the training and flight time as a PPL. Also no special
physical exam is required. **IF** you have never failed such an FAA
required exam for a PPL.
