I have started taking flying lessons in my new Mark111C. It has a 582, reduction gear and a three blade prop purchased from Travis at Kolb. Could someone tell me the proper blade degree of pitch? The rudder requires a trim tab so information or a drawing would be appreciated. It has been my life's dream (not my wife's) to own and fly my own airplane. I will be 79 in Sept and hope to be able to land it by then. I have a qualified ultralight instructor who has given me six lessons ( 6 hrs.) and hope to get four per week, weather permitting.

Clyde, With a 582 two stroke Rotax engine on a Mk IIIC, propeller pitch should be set to reach 5900 to 6100 rpm at full throttle while climbing at 45 to 50 mph. You can get a good approximation be setting it while the plane is tied down (be sure and tie it down at the tail or it will go over on its nose), then make a fine adjustment after you fly it.

ClydeCongratulations! -- GO FOR IT! -- 6 hrs? you shouldn't need a lot more instruction. I solo'd a Cessna at less than 9 hrs, starting from scratch, and Kolbs are easier, and pattern work quicker. Try to solo before winter sets in? There's no magic to it --
Fair winds,

my mkiii could probably use a rudder trim tab,,, but 700 hours later it still flies great, I did however put on an aileron trim to eliminate some stick pressure,, I would suggest flying it first, see what it needs then make modifications to match needs,,, don't try and outguess what is needed till you fly it.
