It is in the Line Maint. Manual and in service bulletins. Rotax also says not to use anti seize. Anti seize has no other redeeming quality other than what it was originally designed for and that was to keep things from galling or freezing up. It's old school because it was used back when they didn't have the thermal paste and didn't know anything else. Times have changed and there is something better. Use the silicone thermal transfer paste it's better and for the health of your engine. -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az. Light Sport Repairman - Maintenance Rated Rotax Repair Center - Heavy Maint.

After a few crow hops and a flight around the pattern on Saturday, I went for an hour flight on Sunday. My baby is a Firesatr II, Rotax 582, B gearbox, Ivo 3 blade 66". It flies great, cruise speed is 80mph at 5500 rpm, stall occurs at 40mph. Many thanks to all the folks on this list, as I researched many of my questions here. Also much thanks to Travis at kolb. -------- Building Firestar II Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=378553#378553 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 05:22:44 PM PST US From: "George Bearden" Subject: Kolb-List: RE: Kolb-List Digest: 8 Msgs - 07/14/12 > so I would like to send a tube to the first 9 emails that I get If I'm not too late I'd like some for my 503 on my Kolb Firestar I.

I have a 2.25" VSI, and a full helmet, which I will offer to the List prior to posting on Ebay or Barnstormers. VSI: Range: 0 - 2000'. Aircraft Spruce has a similar one (10-05500) for $265, while Wicks has them for $254. Note this is an un-certified instrument with no data plate or markings, but it does work. http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/inpages/umavertspeed.php http://www.wicksaircraft.com/catalog/product_detail.php/pid=15322~subid=11458/index.html First Lister to respond has it for $150, including shipping anywhere in the lower 48. Also, any interest in the helmet?
