Search Nanco for some tires that are soft but for off-roading. I think someone assembles and sells sets using these tires. The smooth ones with no rib from the quads used on sand are the most popular ...

Here is my MT bike brake handles for my Firestar I that I installed before selling. Pull one or the other, or the cable loop for both. worked good for me.

Try these for dual hydraulic hand brake actuators. I did something similar on my old Firestar with the levers just in front of the seat between my legs. I used Mt Bike brakes but this would ...

I like the Telex Stratus 50. I have a like new one for sale half price of new. $350. I kept it when I sold my Mark III. I use an in ear Halo now only because I don't have room to store a larger he ...

Rick, to reduce the curved horizon try a narrower field of view, I use 120 instead of 170 on my Drift Ghost and it sure helps. 90 is even better but somewhat starts to restrict the view but eliminate ...

Well do you have a prop on it? I once had a Hirth F33 single cylinder that no one could pull through, no one. With plug removed it pulled fine. Called Rec Power and he asked me that same question, ...

These are the same BB7 brakes but I used the parallel levers under the seat and just reached down for equal braking or differential braking. Worked great. Sold the airplane but these pictures should ...

Roger or others.
With a 582, one take off and one landing, cruising at 5800 rpm what should the oil usage be? Should it use the equivalent of 50-1 (12 gallons of gas used and 32 ounces of oi ...

OK now. For disenting opinion on oil injection. Think of this scenario, you are on a long climb out, you pull the throttle back and that small moment where you go lean and egt's spike. With oil inj ...

I sold my 1984 white/yellow/black one in 2010 for $5500 with a Kaw 440 engine, pod and windshield, and an open trailer. I paid $3500 for it in 2008 but it had been stored in an open shed and wa ...

I used a small oil cooler with the SPAL fan that moves lots of air. Plenty of heat and simple to mount and only added 2# to the airplane. The small one 4x6 worked for me. Test here is weird but the ...

To all of my Kolb friends out there. I found a good weather forcast for flying in Smoky Mountains and off I went this past Memorial Day weekend. Also posted my Sun-N-Fun trip video. I'm working on m ...

I am UNAVAILABLE. I'll respond after the sixth of August.

Dennis here, ease off on the Rotax bashing please. It is not a Rotax part that is bad. As time went on a little more I did not have time to check switches or wiring but the right toggle switch now is ...

I am putting this out there mostly for Roger but chime in as needed. Rotax 912ULS almost 800 hours on engine.

Problem: Engine will continue to run diesel mode when I kill the mag switches when th ...

Mahesh I have run both props in these recomendations. The cruise was faster on the two blade Warp by 3 or 4mph but the IVO better in take off. the IVO was definately noticably smoother. On a Mark I ...

Well the rain and storm possibility between Memphis and London did not look good last night, but this morning it is OK. But I won't make it with this late of a start. I'll miss the guys and all of m ...

Here is an Insurer that might let you get in flight as well. http://aggressiveaviation.com/ . Keeping the story short, EAA Falcon insurance (Global was the underwriter) gave me a rate, then I cal ...

Absolutely John. No lugging occurs if the takeoff RPM stays above 5300 per Phil. In flight we can cruise where we want with no harm as long as the prop is not the limiting factor, that would be luggin ...
