I would like to let the Kolbers know that Mr. Ronnie Smith of Miss. Lite
Aviation, has gone above and beyond. He knew of the rum rum harmonics of my
912UL and took action. He contacted Rotax and Rotax agreed that it very
well might be the gears in my engine making the noise. They send the gears
on warranty and we finally took the plane to Lucedale, Ms and he installed
them. I want to tell you, that made a big difference. I can turn the prop
now and actually feel and hear the pistons moving, a little gear noise but
pulls a whole lot easier. Up on top, there is a little engine harmonics but
that is probably just he engine, hear some do this. But, there is not the
harsh rum rum constantly as it was before. Much, much better. I thank Miss
Lite for their willingness to put forth the effort for their fellow flyers.
That is what makes life so much better. Now I can honestly say I have one
of the best aircraft in the world, Kolb Slingshot. That 912 makes it sing
instead of growl. If you ever need anything, go to Ronnie Smith. He runs
some great Rotax schools and I am sure his teaching is premier amongst the
schools. Thanks to all who put forth ideas to help the noise. I appreciate
it and I tried most everything that came across. It did end up being the
gears as I said all along. You can talk about your little engines all day
long, trying to find something cheaper and lighter and maybe stronger but I
really believe you are not going to find anything in the categories needed,
as strong and reliable as a Rotax. Am happy now. Ted Cowan, Slingshot,
912UL zoom zoom. p.s. now I can push it up to a hundred mph and not be
driven off the planet with the noise. 100 mph @ 5400 rpm max push flat and
level 85 @ 4700. still only burning 3 gals an hour.

Ted
DEE-lighted you got rid of your rum-rum. (now if that were only Bacardi --)
I'm sure it was finally worth all the aggravation. Glad your flying will be more
silent for you now.
Fair winds,
Russ
