Never heard of Switlick. I was under the impression that Irvin Co. was
the starter of the Caterpillar Club and in fact it had to be an Irvin
chute involved.
I see that both Switlick and Irvin claim the honour.
I have only known one member of the club. He was a guy from whom I
bought an Olympia 2 glider back in 1965.
He was a top class gliding competitor and while thermalling a glider
below him surged up and stuck its wing up through the floor of his
glider and out through the canopy and then broke off.
He took to his chute and it is rumoured that he could be heard over 3
counties cussing the other competitor all the way down until he landed.
The other glider landed hard in a wood but the pilot got away with it..
Incidentally about a week ago a light a/c at a local field had trouble
and tried to get into a school playing field. He couldn`t make it but he
had a chute fitted to the plane which he pulled. The whole plane
descended into a couple of back gardens and the pilot was OK.
I think this is the first time this has happened in the UK.

A friend has a titan tornado and put a used 912 ul on it. Runs great except
for egts. firstly; was pitched to take off at
5800 rpm. Was okay but when backed off to 5000, egts climbed. One side
real high, to 1550 plus I guess. Has
black exhaust. Pulled plugs and left bank had black plugs while right had
nice brown to white. Set up carb okay, with
vaccum system. Engine was in tractor configuration now in pusher. Could
the needles or jets be different for tractor:

Thanks everyone for the responses to the prop thrust question.
It looks like I am in the market for a used 66 to 68 inch IVO prop.
keep in mind funds are low, but if anyone has one for around $200. I am
interested.
thanks,
Lee

Might check the diaphragms.JBM has replacements if you find a leak. It sho
uldn't care if it pushes or pulls.It may have been out of whack before he g
ot the engine.

Gliderx5 and Bro Pike:
I enjoyed the video of the takeoff and landing performance. A question: Is that
lexan you have for the door? I noriced it seems to be flexible but very functional.
Thanks for any response.

This thread has me excited to try a 68 inch two blade Ivo I got from a friend several
years ago and never thought it would be enough blade to absorb my 70hp.
If it works, I'll buy a two blade hub for my Powerfin and give that a try.

That Vintage Parachute must have been fairly early in WW2. They've been using the
T-28 for decades! -- saved a lot of lives in WW2.
Been more research & improvements on that chute than any other in history, by far.
I made 35 jumps with one, no problems. Great piece of equipment. Fully trustworthy.

| Subject: | Fuel pump replacement - 912 |
Just received a service bulletin from Rotax about replacement fuel pumps on the
912uls engine. When I printed it out, I learned that mechanical fuel pumps are
considered to have a five year life. Oops... probably should have noticed that!
Mine is a bit older.
This is a Pierburg (sp?) and I was under the impression it was bullet proof.
Am I the only one who has not been paying attention? Has everyone else with a 912
been replacing them at 5 years?
Gulp!

Dave W/Kolbers:
Did not know about the 5 year life of the Pierberg fuel
pump. However, last year my old Pierberg developed an oil
leak and I replaced it with the new recommended pump.
