    So I found a 2002 Mark III with low hours and excellent workmanship and fell in love-yup my mistake-but its powered by a 140 hour 2si 690 L 70 two stroke. The owner-builder had a forced landing due to plugged fuel filter and he and spouse got big eyes at the close power lines returning to his strip. The plane has been in the hangar for 6 years. I'm a ppl but last logged hours 25 years ago. I live on a 5x6 square mile island in Lake Michigan at the mouth of Green Bay. Island and county is 65 percent wooded so a forced landing would require lots of luck and I'm told 2 strokes don't give a warning before death. I can't afford a 912 and can't find alot about the 2si except 1000 hour TBO. Do I need to be smart and walk away? You know Larry's videos and John's adventure stories make that hard to do! -------- Randy Holm Kolber Wannabee Washington Island Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=483443#483443

    Holm-mer - FWIW and IMHO youre too inexperienced to fly safely.. PLEASE get some PIC training in something before the accident instead 0f after. Sounds as tho your flying area isnt at all hospitable And you say you cant afford a 912? you might be saying you cant afford to live. Good luck, hope you dont need it Russ K > On Sep 29, 2018, at 5:33 PM, holmr <randall.holm@gmail.com> wrote: > > > So I found a 2002 Mark III with low hours and excellent workmanship and fell in love-yup my mistake-but its powered by a 140 hour 2si 690 L 70 two stroke.

    One more thing.,... Some where there is a list of engines by serial number that have been stolen... If you can find the list,, compair the serial number of an engine you are thinking of purchasing to the stolen list before you buy. Some one on the kolb group may be able to help you find the stolen engine list. If you find a match call the cops. If someone asks why you want the serial number, tell them you want to check for a list of service bulletins for that engine. Or ask if they have a list .

    My first question is how much does the fellow want for the MKIII? Because for a 912 your going to invest another 20 grand in the airplane. There are other ways to go on the engine. Second question is , do you actually have a runway on the island. And third are your willing to put the time and money into getting training for a LSA ticket? Another fairly expensive project. Just asking? George H.

    George, why would Randy need a sport pilot ticket if he's a private pilot? You did know PPL means Private Pilot License, didn't you?

    Rotax publishes a list of stolen engines as a service bulletin IIRC. You can find it on the Rotax Owner's site. If you're just going around the pattern the SI *might* be okay. I'll believe those 1000 hour TBO's when I see the distributors put one on the test stand and document it. A buddy of mine with a 503 on an Airbike made it to 600 and some hours then a piston skirt broke and he spent far more fixing it than if he'd overhauled it per Rotax. Not to mention being grounded for six months screwing around with it. If you're not willing to do the adaptation to get a four stroke engine pass on the good deal and save up for a 912 powered Mk III.

    Yeah, but after 25 years of inactivity to renew your ticket and get current w ould be quite costly. And a third class medical certificate. Unless he has s tayed current on his medical. In which case it wouldn=99t be a big dea l. George H.

    As long as his medical wasn't revoked or an application denied, there's no requirement for a medical when flying as a sport pilot. https://www.aopa.org/advocacy/advocacy-briefs/frequently-asked-questions-about-sport-pilot There is no renewal of a pilot's license (unless the FAA suspended or revoked it for cause). Getting signed off after a new biennial flight review might be costly, or it might be 2 or 3 hours with an instructor. Highly dependent on the individual. Doing it in a high drag, low energy a/c would obviously be a good idea as prep for a Kolb, but not a requirement to be legal.

    Thanks everyone for your thoughts! To get into a Kolb Light Sport as a private ticket holder I would get rusty pilot dual time, bfr log entry, and transition to type time. I have read lots of accident/ incident reports of bad things happening to those who try to just "wing it" on their own in light sport pushers with high drag. You have confirmed my thoughts on 2 stroke flying in my neighborhood. I'll get some dual this winter in light sport in AZ for the fun of it and- keep the boat! Thanks again for your input. And fyi the island has a great airport with two well maintained grass runways used by ga owners with summer homes here. -------- Randy Holm Kolber Wannabee Washington Island Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=483458#483458
