Subject: | Re: FAA registration renewal |
jvanlaak,
Thanks for the contact information. I sent Mr. Bent and email as follows:
Mr. Bent,
In early January, I received the FAA notice that the registration on my airplane
(N64086) would expire on June 30, 2012. So that I would not forget to do the
RENEWAL before that deadline, I went on-line and went through the process of
RENEWING my registration for an additional three years; at least that is what
I thought I was doing. About two weeks later (quick service, thank you) I received
my new registration certificate but was aghast to see that the new one is
show to expire Jan 31, 2015 instead of June 30, 2015.
Why did I not get a full three year extension on my RENEWAL. This was NOT a new
registration which starts the three year clock, but a RENEWAL. I went through
the on-line process early to avoid forgetting to do it later. For this it seems
I was penalized 5 months. It is a non-event financially but the rule says that
the registration must be RENEWED (extended) every three years, not re-registered,
as if it was a new owner.
I suspect this was a programing error if this happens only on-line. In any case,
please rectify this short-change or re-write the rule and guidance so that we
know what to expect.
I would appreciate a response regarding what your plans are for correcting this.
Sincerely,
Thomas R Riddle

Guys
This one may be worth fighting for. I sat through a FAA seminar when this renewal
first started and it was clearly stated that the $5.00 was for the initial
renewal only, and that the "real" renewal cost was yet to be determined. Their
speculation was it would be between $50.00 and $250.00. Please do not shoot
the messenger.

Rex,
I did do multiple searchs for nose skids, loops, plates, etc. As stated it did
not return any such plans or picutures.
Could some one kindly just send a link. TIA
David d.
Do a search for "nose skid". I posted some pictures of my design some time ago.
Some people liked it; others raised a fuss.
I got an email from TNK at the time & they were complimentary and had no problems
with it.
I use it as a front pull handle, tie down point if required, and I also attached
my pitot and static tubes to it.

Finally found my spare Ivoprop spacer. It is 1.5" thick, and anyone who wants it
can have it for $30, that includes shipping. You'll need to source your own
bolts & crush plate, don't have any spares. Yes, that is yellow paint on it, not
sure how it got there, it will look better after a little attention from the
Scotchbrite pad & Mothers polish...

Do a search for "rodebush". All my posts should come up. Click on "nose bracket"

If that doesn't work let me know & I'll send you the pictures direct via email.

I don't think I would. Ivo's are real light weight, the Warp has a lot more mass
and inertia, so...
Maybe some one on this list who is an engineering major could chime in? In either
case, you are relying on the bolts clamping the prop and spacer between the
hub and the crush plate, but using a heavier prop - that's out of my league.

At TOK Company we only used the 2-1/2" Ivo spacer on the Ivo, we felt it
unsuitable for the Warp. When we needed a spacer for a Warp we had a
"spool" type spacer made that had a centering boss.

Subject: | Re: 2.5" IVO prop spacer |
Larry,
Way back a long time ago, we had some scary experiences with the GSC
propeller shearing prop bolts One time at an airshow we found that several
bolts were broken and the remaining were loose. That was a very sobering
discovery for us. So after that we got pretty conservative with our
attitude toward propellers. In the case of the GSC, I think it was a
maintenance thing, but even that was something new to us because we never
had that problem with wooden propellers. So our brains were creased with
another wrinkle: beware of new gizmos around propellers.
We had seen the spacer used on Ivos for quite some time before we started
using it and had the sense that it had been proven in practice. When we
needed a spacer for the Warp we didn't feel like being the R&D department
for the Warp-on-Ivo spacer. We did not feel that we wanted to promote its
usage because the Warp had was heavier with higher inertia and stiffer
blades. With the centering boss, all the keeping-the-prop-centered loads
are taken off the prop bolts and transferred to the very substantial center
boss; it's a more conservative and the traditional approach. Hanging
everything on the prop bolts didn't seem right to us for such a heavy and
stiff propeller - we didn't want to be the test bed for that combination.
Better to take the conservative approach and use a more conservative spool
extension.
In a similar vein, we did not feel comfortable using the Ivo originally
because we felt it was too lightly built. If TOK had ever gotten into the
prop building business, the propeller we would have made would have been
built more like a Warp than an Ivo. We would never have invented the Ivo -
it just would not have occurred to us to build something that lightly. I
remember the thing that nudged us to start using the Ivo was Phil Lockwood.
I was talking to him about props one time at SNF and I was raising an
eyebrow at the Ivo's he was running on the 582s on the Aircam. He shrugged
his shoulders and said, but they work. He further said that he had tested a
lot of propellers on the Aircam by putting one prop on one engine and then
another prop on the other engine and he could tell by the yaw of the Aircam
which was pushing harder and he felt the Ivo was doing the best of any prop
he had tested. So it was after that conversation that we started looking at
Ivo's more seriously.

i had a prop spacer built, then to keep the bolts from having to take
all the shier, there were some flange holes in the 912 engine that were
larger than the bolts, so i had some bushings made that fit into the
holes of the prop flange,, and then the bushings were larger where
they entered intgo the spacer, then i had the holes in the spacer
drilled out so the bushings would go in, the bushings were drilled out
to fit the prop bolts, this way the bushings hold all the shier load
of the prop. and it has been so long i beleve there was bushings
between the spacer and the prop as well.

Subject: | Re: RotaxEngines-List: 912 80 hp back-fire on shutdown |
There are two distinct and opposing conditions that could cause your engine
to backfire. Too rich an idle mixture letting unburned fuel slip by the
valves into an exhaust system already heated by high EGT's when the power
is pulled back on approach. Or the mixture is too lean and it's on the
verge of running on after the ignition is shut off.(my Harley used to do
this on warm up when I pulled the choke off too early).
What is your idle RPM before the stabilization run? Is it different after
the stabilization run?
If your heart can stand the strain, let it backfire one last time and
immediately look at the plugs. Do the same after a stabilization run and
note if there's any difference.
