Yes that little dabacle was a real shame. It was a good package if it
wern't for the valve guides and the ignition modules.
Sad really, but at least we found a good solution before anyone got
hurt!

Subject: Re: Stratus-List: in-flight adjustable props
When I started flying the HDS in 1999, I found very quickly that keeping
the bird light is the key. It didn't take long to see that the
"published" or popular prop setting weren't for me. Experiementing from
the gitgo, I set it at 17 and found no tendency to feel loaded at all.
that let me climb at 1800 fpm initial clomg with an all out speed of
125. that was with a 612 lb empty weight and loaded light...150 lb.
pilot. With this I was off the ground and climbing like heck after
450Ft. take off roll. No problem getting off anywhere. Reiner told me
my Stratus was putting out 113 hp. Of course I wrung that engine out
pretty quickly with the valve guide problems. don

Hi Frank,
I'm looking to purchase a Stratus system, could you fill me in on the valve guides
and ignition system problems and what the fix was? I'd really appreciate the
info.
Thanks,
Bruce
