With their record of Toilet seats and hammers, kind of makes you wonder
what they are paying for them.

Subject: | Rotax 912 in Drones... |
Brother Cassara:
The Predator UAV's ( both the RQ-1 and the armed MQ-1) use a 115 hp. special
variant of the 914F engine. not the similar 912 series used on Kolbs. The
military 914F used/uses
pressure compensating Bing carbs, not F.I. . The 914 did marginally well on
the RQ-1, but was pushed very hard and had a relatively short service life.
The developed and somewhat heavier version of the bird (R/MQ-9 Reaper)
dropped the Rotax completely and went to a version of the Garrett TPE-331
turboprop flat rated at around
600 hp.quite a jump.and giving you an idea of just how hard the Rotax 914's
had to be driven to make mission on the Predator. IMHO it is a credit to
the inherent soundness of
the Rotax 4-strokes that they held together as well as they did under brutal
service conditions.They ran their guts out, all day, every day. month after
month.
Ought to make the Kolbers who fly with a 912 feel pretty good about their
engines.however expensive.
Worth what ye paid fer it.

Uncle Sam is using the Rotax 912 is in some of the drones that we are now
sharing the skies with. My guess is "we" are the deep pocket that allowed
for the development of the fuel injection upgrade project.

Kolbers:
Just got off the phone with Travis, Bryan, and Dennis. Kolb Aircraft will
be arriving Lakeland Sunday after next, 25 Mar 2011.
Looks like it is time to push Miss P'fer (P fer plane) out of the old
sagging, rusty tin covered hanger, fly over to Ronnie Collin's airstrip,
across the lake and six miles west of Gantt International Airport, borrow
his water hose and wash the barn dust, bird and bug crap off in preparation
for the flight to Sun and Fun.
The last cross country flights I did was in Nov 2011, and May/Jun 2011. Boy
am I rusty. In fact, haven't done a whole lot of flying this past year or
so far this year.
Look forward to seeing all the old familiar faces again, and new ones I
haven't had a chance to meet. Always good to put a face with posts to the
Kolb List.
This will be my 29th consecutive visit to Sun and Fun, the first was in Mar
1984, where I hung on the fence, watched Dennis Souder wring out the new
Ultrastar, and drooled on it when it was not flying. I purchased my first
Kolb Kit, had received the plans and building manual prior to departing for
Lakeland. When I got home my engine and several large boxes of material and
parts were waiting for me to pick up at the country store up the road.
Anyone else heading to Lakeland this year?
Plan to arrive Lakeland Monday or Tuesday, weather permitting. Will stay as
long as I can stand it.

I'm sure it's a wild price! -- but surely you know that a lot of the
inflated cost of hammers etc goes to supporting the clandestine-services
budget?
Can't beat it; got to accept it. At least it's well spent.

to build a process that would allow pilots to utilize their plane - wether
experimental, amateur built or certified, to introduce people to flying.
This could mean training use for cfi's, for ultralite pilots to gain experi
