I use rain x on my car windshield and my aircraft windshield. I never have to turn my wipers on even in the heaviest down pour while on the highway. While at a stand still it does you no good. Same for aircraft. -------- J.M.

I have been told that since my fuselage halves have been joined together already that I am out of luck. I would very much like to install la 4 stroke Rotax but it is my understanding that I would need the X P supplement manual to accomplish this goal. If anyone could be so kind as to give me some knowledge and guidance with this issue I would certainly be most appreciative. My kit came with composite spars and wooden wing skins. If I need to include any other information please let me know! Thank you, Clyde Oyler "Yellowhammer" -------- J.M.

While the basic fuselage 'shape' for both the 582 and XP came out of the same mold, the layup pattern was changed to make the XP fuselage stronger as required to support the greater weight and the higher aerodynamic loads, flutter potential, etc., that go with greater speed. If you had the XP parts, then the XP manual would tell you how the assembly steps are different. But there is no manual or other documentation that will tell you how to convert a 582 fuselage into an XP fuselage... that happened in the mold during manufacture. And just plunking a Rotax 912 into the front of a 582 isn't wise... that's not what Aero Designs did. What is your kit's quoted Gross Weight? (go look for your info, I don't need to know). For the most part, Gross Weight is determined by wing strength, and that's mostly due to the spar. Whatever your kit's Gross Weight is won't change when/ if you convert to a Rotax 912, and any weight you add to the plane's Empty Weight during the process will reduce the Useful Load by a similar amount. All the games you play with your kit must take place under your kit's Gross Weight limit. Rotax 912 UL . = 60.9 kg / 134.2 lbs Installed Weight Rotax 912 ULS = 63.8 kg / 140.6 lbs Installed Weight Plus bigger prop. There are owners here who have converted a 582 to a Jabiru or Camit 2200 flat-4, air-cooled engine. Perhaps one of them can provide you with some insight on that conversion. But it's a big project that transcends just having the correct manual... and it doesn't have a manual. Some early composite spars were incorrectly manufactured, and are not air-worthy. I don't know how to tell good from bad, but do make certain you have a good spar before proceeding with wing assembly. The Pulsar Aviators group over on YahooGroups has a "Files" section that contains a lot of supporting documentation, including PDFs of some manuals. I believe much of the XP manual is there. Subscribe there, and check it out.
