Rick, what have you heard about the actual proven benefits of the nikasil cylinders
for the VW?

I am wondering if any of you know of anyone running a Teledyne/Continental 4A084
on a Kolb. I have a Firestar-I. Yes, I know they are heavy at ~127 lbs, they
can be built to around 50 hp but prolly no more than that. Still... they are
cheap and reliable and I wouldn't have to carry as much fuel. Parts are worlds
cheaper than my Rotax DCDI 503. Just wondering...

Microsoft Flight Simulator. Has anyone bought the pedals and throttle for
their PC?>>
I have a stick which twists to provide rudder control. That works OK.#
The pedals I bought did not.
There is also an attachment to your cap which ,through a little receiver
clipped to the screen enables you to change view by turning your head.
Worked for a while then failed and I am not computer savvy enough to sort
it out.
My control stick has a throttle attached which is fine but it could do with
a trimmer. Change of view is controlled by a `hat` on the stick. That is OK.
I use the X plane version. This has a weightshift and a Piper Cub at the
light aircraft end of the offerings with a nice gentle fly in Cross country
and also landing the Cub on the top of a moving van. I have not managed that
yet.
There are now some very good additions of photographic scenery these days if
you like VFR flying.
Pat.

I have no personal experience with the nikasil cylinders for VW engines. I
had been told by Steve Bennitt (sp) at Great Plains Aircraft that they are
10# lighter than steel and have much better heat transfer. The last time I
talked to Steve he had said that they weren't working out and he no
longer recommended them.

Too heavy for FS I. Who said 50 hp? Gov't rated at 10 hp,; it may
actually be 20 hp, It is 48 c,i., doubt it can produce over 1 hp per cube.
I had one; fun to play with. Don't waste your time .
You already have the best engine for FS I. Should be good for 500 hrs.
before you need to spend any money.

There are three models of these surplus engines...4a032. 4a042 and
4a084...the 084 is rated at 20 hp at 10,000 feet...It will fly a mini
max with a redrive...doing so in Wise Co.,Va. will probably fly
a Firestar or Firefly... but a bit heavy..as is noted... 84 cubes... Herb
