full throttle, and it will stall, but the engine pushes the nose over and
it starts flying again.>>. You dont need full throttle to do that. Works
just a as well at idle or cruise unless you have a very strange C of G of
course. Pat

Subject: Kolb-List: Re: Kolb STOL
Hi Wesley
My MkIII Xtra only has a Jabiru 2200 80HP motor but with one person I
routinely take off in 300 feet and land in 400 or less. I'm sure with a 912
100HP it would take off in less.
That by most would be good STOL.
When I was getting to know the plane and I tried full flaps and engine at
idle I quite surprised my self at the decent angle to keep 55 MPH, it felt
like I was standing on the rudder pedals and going straight down.. as soon
as you get to 5 feet over the runway level off and the speed goes AWAY.
But I soon got to love that approach, stay at 500Ft on final until just
short of the runaway and then drop in..
With two people its a different aircraft and I fly it faster 60MPH , all
the way to touchdown, so that I can maintain good flare control on landing,
but its still slows down very quickly.
One thing that is interesting is that with the high pusher configuration you
can pull back on the stick , full throttle, and it will stall, but the
engine pushes the nose over and it starts flying again and climbs, stalls,
nose pushed forward, climbs, etc..etc.. That is a great design feature that
gives you some interesting climb out angles, if you dare..
YEP... stol.

Subject: | RE: to inject or not to inject... |
Study your 503 operators manual. Follow the instructions
for starting a cold and a warm 503 using the enricher. Next
remove the primer system. It is not necessary and poses
additional chance for fire if you crash. I have never had a
problem starting a Rotax two stroke in the winter with the
enricher only. That goes for the 912 series engines as
well.
My opinion only. It works for me.

Hi everyone:
This subject of oil injection is pretty timely since I'm on
the verge of installing an injection unit on a Rotax 503
DCDI. It seems to be pretty straightforward but there is
also a problem. I use prime instead of manual choke on the
503 to get it started and the prime line goes to the nipple
on each intake manifold. That seems to be the same place
where the oil lines have to go also. Can anyone suggest a
workaround? Would a tee fitting work? Does the manifold need
another nipple?
Thanks for any help anyone can give.

My only experience with oil injection was years ago on
2-stroke motorcycles.
I loved it. I used far less oil, I kept my hands clean when
fueling, the
engine carboned up less. I am interested in using it on my
447 or 503.
OPTIONAL (off-topic):
Years ago I bought a Rototiller at a yard sale. Huge heavy
thing,
self-propelled, gear box, built like they usta build. Cast
iron, etc. It had
a big single cyl engine under a cowling in front. So, I used
the thing a few
times, it ran great, it was quite a machine. After a while I
figgered I'd
check the valve lash, change the oil, etc. Tore into it, to
my surprise it
was a 2-stroke! Yeah, I know, makes me sound dumb. But it
ran so slow and
had such torque. So after a few hours of operation I finally
started giving
it oil in the gas. No apparent damage.

I went to compression springs also but had to disassemble them and pinch the inside
hooks to clear the spring I.D. so they would extend freely.

Hi Barry,
Here's a shot of the compression springs (other side is the same, of
course) on the FlagFly. Also shows a wider tail wheel to replace pizza

Thanks James. If Rotax recommends running the engine at 50 to 1, at what power
setting is that? Is it an average?

It's just like a chainsaw, or two stroke MX bike, weed whacker, leaf blower, whatever,
mix a good oil at the manufacturer suggested ratio and let her rip.
