    Subject: Cooling and warming our Rotax engines:-)
    I was always amazed that the 277 used almost fuel as my 447... On a Kitten, then 277 had to run very hard most of the time..while my 447 could cruise the Firefly very nicely between 5200 and 5600... I was thinking about the twins...I have seen the 277 on a kitten and it definitely had quite a bit of vibration... Maybe some sort of sliding device with an automatic spring loaded return to full open.. Mainly on the radiator since I now have a 582... with single radiator.. Could be that something on the order of a window shade would work..With different material of course..

I finally solved the problem by having the cylinder honed out about 0.003 larger than factory spec and running a main jet 2 steps richer than spec. I'm also very careful not to go to full throttle immediately after a long descent at idle. On a touch and go, I'll usually take off with about 3/4 throttle and wait until the CHT gets up to 250 before going to full throttle. > > -------- > There is something fascinating about science.

    Mike, Sounds great, have you started planning for the party? Attached is the Minnesota RULA which exempts non-commercial aircraft flying from being a liability for the land owner.
