ANOTHER THOUGHT ON ALIGNMENT
When you get around to actually adjusting camber / toe, re-drilling holes, etc;
please remember that WEIGHT makes a difference. If you make alignment corrections
with wings off or folded, you may regret it.
Before making any corrections, you need the airplane assembled in normal flying
configuration WITH PILOT IN SEAT. Get a helper to plant his but in the aircraft
seat before you drill holes.
The added weight will make the gear legs want to spread let them. With race cars,
we use greased plates to let wheels move freely; but thats overkill here.
Just be aware and let the wheels move where they want to go before fixing alignment.

the use of grease plates is good for planes as well... I was amazed to see
how much movement I got in the gear with the use of grease plates.

Subject: | 2si 690L-70 soon to be fore sale |
Kolbers,
Saturday during my preflight inspection I discovered the mag end cylinder head
on my 690 had developed an outer o-ring coolant leak.
As my Rotax 670 is ready for testing and it's hard to get at the front cylinder
with the engine on the plane, I decided to pull the 2si and come ahead with
the Rotax swap.
The leak is not internal as it runs fine so it's just the outer o-ring that's bad
and I will be replacing it and the inner o-ring as a matter of course.
Point being, as soon as the 670 is confirmed to be good to go, the 690L will be
for sale.
Details: 70hp at 6250 rpm, inline triple, 28mm Mikuni VM carbs, idles smooth down
to 1400rpm, 2.65 to 1 reduction, heavy duty coated exhaust, original lighter
exhaust with minor cracking also comes with it, several sets of gearbox rubber
dampers, spare water pump, and various spare parts I've accumulated over the
years. Has less than 150 hrs "I'm at work and don't remember the exact number
in the log book", is sewing machine smooth with a three blade prop. "Prop not
included" Entire cooling system and mounting brackets included, as well as triple
Mikuni fuel pump.
I have several good pics of the installation I can send to those interested as
well as a recent vid of it idling happily at 1450rpm. Triple cable splitters and
cables on the enricher's and throttles too.
Best offer over $1200.
