    Yep, don't change that exhaust. I tried putting a port in the Rotax muffler on a 447, to make more noise when I wanted to chase sheep. Whenever I opened it there was a noticeable loss in power..... JG

    I had an odd thought. Did you check to see if the wings have multiple attachment holes at the front? Are they both in the same hole? Sometimes it's the simplest things that can screw you up.

    I bent mine with my son's pipe bender... an exhaust fabrication s shop may have something,, you need to be able to measure in fractions of deg. It is touchy as you have to bend past Weber you need and let it spring back to where you need it.. it takes several trys to find the point where the bend stays put On May 30, 2014 7:10 PM, "Brad Nation" <nationcap@comcast.net> wrote: > > I understand how to measure the wheel alignment but what I don=99t > understand is how to change the alignment. > > Yellow Bird 1 > Brad Nation > MKIII Xtra > N952DK > =========== =========== =========== =========== > >

    Subject: moving on...
    Well, I finally sold my Kolb. The Ultrastar was a lot of fun over the past six years, but it's time to move on... it's a great plane but I was starting to bump into its limitations. My new (to me) plane, a Fisher FP-404 biplane which I picked up today, is about 15 mph faster, not much, but the 4-stroke engine means half the fuel consumption and thus double the range... which expands my horizons quite a bit. Of course now I'll be paying hangar rent instead of the outdoor tiedown rate for the Kolb in its trailer, and I lose the freedom of a Part 103 ultralight, but I gain in other areas. So it's all good. Gotta thank everybody here for all the good advice over the past 6 years. Dana do not archive -- But do you trust the _government_ with semi-automatic assault rifles?
