(Richard Pike) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 03:02:51 PM PST US Subject: Kolb-List: Happy Thanksgiving! From: "Richard Pike" Happy Thanksgiving to all the Kolbers and Kolbettes on the list, piddled with the FF a bit today and then took it flying for about 15 minutes. Had a good little breeze today, and up to now had only flown it in calm conditions. Flew good, ailerons are heavy as sin, feels way heavier than my MKIII, so the next part of the project will be to change the bellcrank arms for less throw and more leverage. Otherwise it flew fine. The 277 now vibrates no more than any other 2 stroke above 5,000, and it is slightly worse but still acceptable from 4,500 to 5,000 so will quit worrying about that. Also, on the other thread; Bill Sullivan asked about the effect of the exhaust pipe heating the wing fabric - now that the outlet is at the front I could hold my hand at the exhaust outlet and was quite surprised that at 6" away there is no heat at all. You have to get to within 2" before it starts to get hot. Wouldn't have guessed that. It is supposed to get up to 60 tomorrow, so will rejet it a tad richer and try it again. The EGT kept flirting with 1200 today, that is a bit too hot. -------- Richard Pike Kolb MKIII N420P (420ldPoops) Kingsport, TN 3TN0 Forgiving is tough, being forgiven is wonderful, and Grace really is amazing.
