| Subject: | Counter balance snag in the LAA drawings |
I have just finished installing the counter balance upgrade and the LAA
measurements will not work as printed. If you lay out the new ribs to the
327.3 the counter balance weights will not clear the lower wingtip and will
hang out of the wingtip if you install the weights on the outboard side of the
square tube.
The plans don't show this but the fix is either move the ribs 200 mm
inboard or making the ribs 90 degrees of the hinge line.
for those of you that have already rivited them as to the drawings you
will have to install all but one of your weights inboard and one of the thin
weights outboard to keep the tube from crushing.
Have Fun

| Subject: | MP3 SPA Carb question |
Do anyone knows how to setup these carbs (instruction sheet or simply brain power)?
When it was rebuilt, the shop told me to adjust the idle and whatever else;
I don't remember what they told me.
I also don't know what are the rich and the lean sides on the mixture control.
Plus; not being used to fly an engine with mixture... do we pull the knob to
get leaner or reacher on the dash board?

Michel,
Common convention is to pull the control on the panel to lean. I have att
ached a photo of how I attached the control cable to the leaning lever on
the carb. Set it up so that the lever is to the "rich" stop when the cont
rol handle is fully seated against the stop at the panel. Pulling the con
trol handle fully out will result in idle cut-off.
The idle is adjusted with a spring-tensioned screw on the throttle arm piv
ot bracket. See photo. It can only be adjusted through experimentation
with the engine running. I set the engine running at the proper idle and
marked the throttle control rod with a piece of masking tape at the contr
ol ferrule. With the engine stopped, I then adjusted the idle screw so th
at the throttle control would stop at the tape on the rod.
Let me know if you have questions.
Jay Bannister
Do anyone knows how to setup these carbs (instruction sheet or simply brai
n
power)? When it was rebuilt, the shop told me to adjust the idle and what
ever
else; I don't remember what they told me.
I also don't know what are the rich and the lean sides on the mixture cont
rol.

Hey All,=0A=0AThe upgrade kit instructions specifically warn against using
a drill-bit on the spar-connection bolt holes but to-ream to final si
ze.- Good idea probably for all the bolt holes.- The question I have (s
ince I'm fractionally challenged) is what reamer size and what type of ream
er?- Should I get the fractional, the-lettered or the numbered reamers?
- Does it matter? What type should I get? etc. etc. etc. etc.- Any advi
ce is greatly appreciated including where-is the best place to order and
the specific sizes for the AN3,-AN4-and-AN5 holes.=0A=0AThanks in adv

Peter,
I put 60# units on mine, and much prefer them to the
original 40# struts. I couldn't trust the canopy before even in a
slight breeze.

Hi Guys, I have changed my Zenith canopy for a Todd's version and have
noticed the gas struts are a little weak due to the Todd's increased
weight. Has anybody else noticed? If so did you change the gas struts?

You can order whatever size of reamer you need from MSC industrial. 5/16 i
s .312 your bolts probably measure somewhere around .309 If you ream to .30
9 they will be way to tight and you will have to hammer them in. I would th
ink that .312 will work fine as you are only talking .003 bigger in dia. to
get a idea of what .003 looks like just pull a hair off your head as they
are around .0035 in dia. Your reamer should have straight flutes and use l
ots of lube and run at a painfully slow RPM. I would run around 75 rpm max.
The slower you run any drill or reamer the tighter the hole is due to less
wobble.

Hey All=2C
The upgrade kit instructions specifically warn against using a drill bit on
the spar connection bolt holes but to ream to final size. Good idea proba
bly for all the bolt holes. The question I have (since I'm fractionally ch
allenged) is what reamer size and what type of reamer? Should I get the fr
actional=2C the lettered or the numbered reamers? Does it matter? What typ
e should I get? etc. etc. etc. etc. Any advice is greatly appreciated incl
uding where is the best place to order and the specific sizes for the AN3

Thanks in advance!!
