Hey Darin,

I had a heavy left wing on my Series 7 when I began flight testing. I'll skip a lot of what I did and go right to what the fix was.
I pulled the tips,and re-checked the washout with ...

Hi Dick,

If our "P" lead connections are the same, I have a uls, I had the same problem. Drove me nuts, no luck with with ohm meter. I finally found
the factory crimps were bad at the ...

Hugh:

The rock guard tape from SRI comes on a roll, so you have to cut it to the shape you want instead of buying precut pieces from Warp drive or
another supplier.

Craig,
I found my receipt for the 3M Scotch film. I got it from SRI Racing
and it's really quite a cheap way to buy it. But you have to shape it yourself. This is 8 mil instead of 6 mil. which I'm ...

Sorry, I've been gone all day. I got my initial batch from Warp drive
(hey?) and then 20 yds. of it after doin' a bunch of Google. Let me go down to my hanger and I'll get back to you with t ...

Hey Carl,

I'm running an IVO Ultralight IFA on my my 912S. I am thrilled with the
performance. You do get rid of the SS tape first thing, that's easy. And apply the 3M Clear rock guard and yo ...

This link should take you to the 3M site, and page with just about every mask and cartridge you might need. I'll let you determine, but I'm pretty sure that the black label cartridge will take care o ...

Hi Chuck,

What a bag of worms you opened. I'm 6'3 205 flying out of 700'
at 1400' msl. My wife is 5'8. I have a 40' high wire on the west
side about a 100' from the threshold which makes land ...

Ray,

Viton rubber has "A-Excellent" resistance to leaded and unleaded gasoline
according to Cole-Parmer's chemical resistance guide. I found it
in McMaster-Carr in 1/32" and 1/16& ...

Hi y'all,

Well, after 3000+ miles for the sign off break-in, I would say that a
flawless flight from
Texas to Idaho and back puts my 912S somewhere in my soul now. I've had
enough
$16,000 l ...

My wife and I are flyin up from Texas.

(this should be a good shake down)
Austin,Tx.

Well if anyone is interested there is also a yellow balance mark on most tubes.
This wasn't mentioned in my Sky^%$# instructions. In any case
yellow marks were 80° off on my tubes from stems and ...

I was surprised not to find a thread about wheel balancing. Am I the only
one who has shaky tires. The red dot is mounted at the valve stem per
instructions, and tires are fully beaded. No "o ...

In the wiring schematic for the S7,912S fig. K-8, Sect.J, there is a shunt separating the rectifier, ammeter, capacitor, and alternator. It didn't make it with my kit and Lockwood couldn't give me a c ...
