(And it flies EXXCELLENT!) From: "Richard Pike" Thanks for those instructions Wakataka, the engine and gearbox are a new rebuild from Lockwood, the engine is very easy to start - usually one pull, and it has no problems coming off idle. Nevertheless, we may still need to take the box apart to have a look and those instructions will be necessary. -------- Richard Pike Kolb MKIII N420P (420ldPoops) Kingsport, TN 3TN0 Forgiving is tough.

(And it flies EXXCELLENT!) From: "Richard Pike" I think we found the vibration problem; we think that dummy Pike designed the rubber muffler hangars incorrectly, allowing a harmonic resonance to set up between the engine and the muffler. Will fabricate new rubber hangars this afternoon to replace the ones that got destroyed in only 3.5 hours of flight, and run it up tomorrow so we can watch it close and see what is happening in that area. Thanks for all the helpful suggestions. -------- Richard Pike Kolb MKIII N420P (420ldPoops) Kingsport, TN 3TN0 Forgiving is tough. Being forgiven is wonderful.

I made a video some years ago but the camera only had a resolution of 480 at the best. It is such a striking visual area that I wanted to do it again. The flight was an hour and 36 minutes, burning about 3.25 gallons of fuel. Average speed of 65, which was much better than I expected. I actually got a bit chilly on the way back, which was unusual to say the least. I will upload the video tonight since my upload link is about 1MB . The video unfortunately is about 9 minutes long. I cut as much out as I could, unfortunately there is a lot that is worth seeing, at least I think so. :-/ Here are some of the snapshots of the flight.
