Morning Gang:
Got home last night from Chesapeake, VA. Delivered my 912ULS and Warp
Drive to a happy MKIIIx owner. He had the 582 removed from the Xtra,
and was ready to do some 4 stroke Kolb flying.
Found an email from Kodiak when I got home. Should be of interest to
all the two stroke Rotax guys on the List. Has to do with checks and
maintenance schedules, something you all were discussing just prior to
my departure for VA.

Got a few days to get ready to go to the Kolb Homecoming 2006. Plan
to be there Wednesday afternoon or night. Looks like we are going to
have cool weather, temps in the 70's and lows in the 40's. No rain in
the forecast.
See ya'll there,

Thank you John. God willing, I will be at the homecoming via pick-um-up! Still have a few more repairs to do to the Firestar. Fired it up first time today with new IVO prop. Had to learn from prop neutral (as shipped), righty is loosie and lefty is tighty. Cranked prop pitch adjust screw inward from neutral and engine wanted to wind up. Cranked it out (almost all the way) and prop settled at full throtle at 6,100 on the groung. Has a different sound than the old wooden one. And I am so pleased the tranny and the engine never sounded tighter and the EGT and CHT stayed well within the operating range. If Planecrazzys is there I'm gonna make him get down and gimm-e 50. Unless he has taht attack dog with him! Ha, HA!
Ohio Ralph, flyin high and haven't enen left the ground yet!

Hey Ralph,
Did you get the 3" spacer to go with that IVO ? ($80.)
I think the prop is supposed to be 5" away from the trailing edge...
Those IVO props "flex" more than others....
Glad to hear your Bird's getting back in airworthiness condition...
You got yer 50....The Dog did'em ( hey , 50's - 50 )
Gotta Fly...
