I flew behind a free air 503 for about 200 hours . The engine always
performed well. It did at one time suffer a reduction in power. That
problem proved to be a broken head stud. At that point I removed the
engine and replaced all the engine bearings and re ringed the engine as
it did not have any maintenance history . I sold the microlight about
150 hours after the overhaul. The new owner run it to 800 hrs. then
replaced it with a 582 . So in the right application free air works
fine. It did have a ram air system to the rear cylinder .

Hi Kolbers , Just a question , has anyone ever tried a free air 377 on a
Kolb ? or a 477 or 503 free air ? I have a chance to buy on I am also
wondering if the fan cooling shrouds and fan off a Ski Doo will fit an
aircraft 377 or are they the same engine ? Thanks Chrfis

Tony - Just curious, was that in a tractor or pusher configuration? In other words,
did the engine have the benefit of the prop blast for cooling?

One of the members of my EAA chapter sent this to me for our newsletter.
After I put it in, I got to thinking it might be interesting for the Kolb
forum so I put it in a separate PDF.
