Jack,
The second link you posted regarding repair, came up fine but when clicking on
the first link all I go was several blank pages. They are both .pdf files so I
know that is not the problem. I would very much like to read the first document.
Any chance there might be another way to get to it?

Cristal,
EAA's magazine SPORT AVIATION, Feb.2010 has an intro bit on skywriting, The Write
Stuff...
Alzo... the EAA forum page below has more leads and ideas like GSP.

i can remember sometime back,,, 12 years plus or minus,,, kit planes had
some information on smoke,,, seems it was in the Dick Starks,, Dawn Patrol
series. some of those old articles were good reading, weather you found
smoke or not. i don't know if the old issues were on the internet or not.

Morris came last Sat. and spent the afternoon in Fitzgerald Ga. I have the markiii
down doing some maintenance. But we talked and looked for a good while.
He is a super nice guy. He is looking to buy a Kolb because of the folding wings
and trailer storage. He may visit back on this forum.

Thom,
I could not view it on my old computer as it will not accept the latest pdf
viewing program upgrade. On my new machine it came up just fine.
I hope this helps.

John,
True, but the piston rings, the piston, and cylinder system is common to
both two and four stroke engines. The one difference is one power stroke
per one revolution versus two revolutions. With time, technology has
marched forward and all engines are much more reliable. I have an Impala
with 240,000 miles and a Ford van with 330,000 miles. No oil has to be
added to either between oil changes. I estimate the conservative running
time (miles/60 mph) to be 4,000 hours on the Impala and 5,500 hours on the
Ford.
These figures lead me to believe that a 600 hour ring life time for the
Victor 1+ may be conservative. Also, I believe there are many Rotax two
cycle engines flying that have long passed the 300 hour TBO period.
All it takes to beat these TBO times is to use a good oil, and not too much
of it, and keep the engine head and exhaust gas temperatures below the
manufacturer's recommended maximums.

I agree.
Also, Rotax TBO for other than certified engines, is recommended TBO. Not
mandatory to tear down a good engine just because it has reached
"recommended TBO".
I pull with a 1992 Dodge/Cummins with approximately 6,500 hours on it. That
is 388,000+ miles. Engine is still as strong now as it was when new.
Sitting here patiently waiting for some of you Kolbers to get out there and
start putting some serious time on your engines, especially two strokes, no
matter what make or model.
The only way we are going to know if manufacturers of ultralight engines are
telling us the truth or blowing smoke is to get out there and fly.

Thanks for the update David. I was beginning to wonder why I wasn't hearing anything
back from him. :?

http://www.acroflyer.com/smoke_system.htm
quite a good link to building a smoke system
i found other links that said to inject the oil through an atomizing nozzle
to get better smoke from the same oil.
google aircraft smoke generator, there is a lot of stuff.
