    I flew hundreds of hours in my sling shot with a 582. powered it just fine. had to cover the rad with tape according to the temps out side. sometimes only one strip, sometimes four. had the oil injection and liked it. put the 912 on and wow, zoom zoom. gonna pay for the engine just in gas and oil savings.

    I have flown my mkiii 912 in cold weather.... I have to completely cover the oil cooler both sides with aluminum backed tape. and cover around half of the radiator. in order to keep the temps up where they should be.... boyd Ole Herb bought it...gonna trailer it home.... soon as I get my sailplane trailer fully converted.. Should have that done tomorrow.... Dean offered to fly it to my local airport,,,but he does not like to fly the 582 unless he gets 130 or above water temps...I noticed that he had some of the radiator covered....anyone have experience with this situation?

What they cannot do is write anything in the engine or aircraft log books, anything of a legal nature anyway. The last caveat about maintaining the value of the aircraft is what having an A & P supervise the engine over haul was meant to convey, so no, no requirement unless you want a logbook entry to go with the work. > > Rick > A buyer can do the work on an E-AB and log it as long as the original builder has the repairmans cert and signs it in the logs. I called the FAA about this before buying the Kolbra. Mark German is the original builder and he signs my logbook after I do the condition inspection every year.

    Herb, I covered about half of the 582 radiator and it was good to temps down to freezing. Any colder than that and the pilot needs to be duct taped, too.

    << A buyer can do the work on an E-AB and log it as long as the original builder has the repairmans cert >> According to EAA and my reading of the rules, anyone can work on an EAB and log what they did. The only requirement on logbook maintenance entries is within the last 12 months there must be a condition inspection signed by either the original builder with a repairman's certificate for that aircraft or an A&P (no IA needed). Of course, if the work constitutes a "major alteration" it should be logged by whoever did the work along with the FSDO testing requirements and completion of those requirements. But what is a "major alteration" is an entirely different issue. Tom Kuffel

Don't have that problem with the 100 hp 912. The higher compression engine generates much more heat than the 80 hp. john h mkIII Titus, Alabama

The FAA came out and inspected and assigned a new test area to fly off 10 hours. This was done last spring it's been flying ever since. Since I fly during the winter months, I tape off the front side of the radiator and both sides of the oil cooler when the OAT is below freezing. By doing this, the CHT's remain under 200 deg. As the weather starts warming, I will have to remove some tape to maintain normal CHT's.
