Good luck. Ted Glad to hear there is a bunch of slingshots out there playing. I love mine. Just wish the weather would be a little better. Getting over a herniated spine operation last November and can now push my plane around. Missed all the good weather we had over November and December but someday the wind will stop and we can play again more than a few minutes. I am glad I am pushing the 912 to 5000 and 5200 rpm. Seems to like it there. Of course, going 90-95 mph chews up a bit more gas but I am having a ball. I feel the slingshot with the short wing and heavier weight is perfect for the 912. It has to be more stable than the firefly. Short wings and being so light might actually be a handicap. Anyway. Have fun out there and be safe and oh yeah, good luck on the price of that firestar. I would like to see some pics of one that is worth that much.

Saturday, 18 May, is the flyin. Sunday, 19 May, is departure. We chose this particular weekend because it is the weekend between Mother's Day and Memorial Day. It is also the same weekend we held the Kolb Unplanned/Unorganized Monument Valley Flyin in previous years. Hopefully, the weather in May will be better than it turned out to be in November. Will let you all know as soon as we firm up these dates, which should be in the next day or two. We had a great time at last year's Homecoming. Hopefully, this year's will be even better. Tell all your friends. Everyone is welcome whether you fly a Kolb or not. We have many different airplanes fly in. john h mkIII Titus, Alabama ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 07:07:22 AM PST US From: "John Hauck" Subject: Kolb-List: ROTAX 912UL/912ULS Frequently Asked Questions Hi Kolbers: This info from the ROAN, ROTAX Owner Assistance Network: http://www.rotax-owner.com/pdf/ROAN%20FAQs.pdf Answers some good questions, especially "What speed to operate our 912's?" john h mkIII Titus, Alabama ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 07:52:48 AM PST US From: frank goodnight Subject: Re: Kolb-List: ROTAX 912UL/912ULS Frequently Asked Questions Very interesting, especialy the Rpm .

Frank In my opinion, lugging a two or four stroke is not good for them. They are designed to turn high rpm. I have always used 5,000 rpm for normal cruise. If I get in a hurry, I fly 5,200 and 5,400 rpm. Whatever is comfortable for me and the airplane. I flew 5,400 rpm from Alabama to OSH and back in 1994, with my 912UL. That was right after I got home from flying 232 hours on the first Alaska flight. Only difference was fuel burn and a little more cruise speed. john h mkIII Titus, Alabama ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 01:10:12 PM PST US From: David Kulp Subject: Re: Kolb-List: ROTAX 912UL/912ULS Frequently Asked Questions John, will you please re-post the link for the FAQ?
