Wow, I had forgotten that I had posted this. In 2010 I put a deposit on a 10 acre tract and entered the due-diligence phase. I hired a lawyer to the tune of $700 to tell me what I already knew, there ...

Maybe I will try 10 PSI. I was halfway expecting the answer to be a higher pressure to firm them up. 10 is the max printed on the tire.

I have not had a chance to try it again, but I did lower the pressure to 4 PSI last night. One of them just kept on going after that. Was flat within 1/2 hour.
The common theme I am hearing is th ...

Funny to find this thread. I just flew around the patch for the first time with my Kings, that I bought a few years back. Came to the forum to ask WASSUP with the bouncing? Seems my gear is now all sp ...

This is an old but excellent post. I don’t recall seeing the pasted Rotax synch procedure before. I have seen similar suggestions, just not the Rotax procedure; what book is it in?. I am running a 5 ...

Ahh, the mighty Tripacer! A 1953 version was the family queen ship; I got my private in it, 37 years ago it pains me to admit. Like the Kitfox, I think it was a good design that offers a lot of value ...

Been working and playing hard and got behind on postings. but wanted to add a late comment to this one. Mine is a model 2. I agree with everything said regarding the down side (no pun intended) of ful ...

Ditto comments focusing on gross weight. I fly a II and am building a IV. Being almost 200 lbs myself, my passenger must be a lightweight to stay under the Model II GW of 950#.

I have now seen the whole video and have learned a lot. While my temps have all been below max, I would say my EGTs were below what I used to see with my old prop, correlating with the higher pitch an ...

Thanks Tom, you are always good for reliable info. Mike, Your answer addresses my main concern, overloading the engine. This is an outstanding video. It is the best education I have received in the 6 ...

You guys probably read why I changed my GSC prop on a different thread. Now I want to know how much pitch is too much? I just read a comment on a thread of similar title from Chris:

"... when ...

Thanks to all. Fortunately my birthday is coming up soon.

I am having to replace a 2 blade - 68" GSC prop because I cannot reach torque without the hubs coming together. A gap between the hubs is mandated by a 1999 GSC service bulletin. I got this prop ...

That should do it, thanks! How often do you repack your bearings?

Is there another source for the inner wheel bearing seal? I have the standard Douglas wheel with golf cart tire. Various checklists for the annual condition inspection include packing the wheel bearin ...

Thanks guys for the help. It was just like both of you said. A new bulb type primer allowed fuel to flow when not actuating the primer, just like the worn out plunger type. A replacement plunger type ...

After troubleshooting fuel leaking out of one of my Bing carbs while the engine was not running, I figured out that the source was the primer line. My assumption was that years and ethanol combined to ...

With engine not running, I had fuel leaking from one carb on my 503. Spent 2 hours trouble-shooting. It turned out to be running in from the primer line. I think my first move will be to remove the pr ...

Leonard,
I gave your reply the weekend to digest. I was heartened by the first sentence which implied that touching down with my tailwheel "inches off the ground" was OK to a pro such as y ...
