    A 2 blade 64" is really not very much prop on a 582.   You really have to put a lot of pitch into it to run it on a 582.  As you have found out.   You might want to check what your jetting is like in the carbs and see if that has any impact on your high EGTs.   Also checking out the tach to see that it's not over reading with your engine/prop combo.    Here is a good source of info on Rotax engines.  http://www.cps-parts.com/catalog/rtxpages/articles.php   Here is the section that deals with tuneing the carbs.  http://www.cps-parts.com/cps/pdf/Part10.pdf      Sorry if this is old news to you,  if not it's valuable info that will maybe keep you out of  the trees ;-).   JImChuk

    thanks Jim for that info.  I'm not new to 2 strokes as I've had several 447's and 503's but this is my first 582 so it is a bit of a learning curve.

    Everyone I checked the gearbox and it stated 2.58:1.  I pulled the plugs and confirmed this.  I'm not running a mechanical tach but a electronic tack that avid used to sell.  I will get a tiny tack as well to double check.  Today I decided to test out a gsc 64" ground adjustable prop and at 19 degrees my static rom was 6000.  I checked gsc website and they have 15.5 degrees for a Rotax 582 with 2.58:1.  What does everyone think of the pitch required on the gsc to achieve 6000 static rpm?  I'm located in Tampa Florida if anyone is close by. 

     

     

     

    Thanks

    You didn't say if the 64" GSC was 2 or 3 blade, but disregarding that, I believe most of the GSC props for 582 engines were 3-blade 66" or 68".  EDMO 

    Hi Edmo is was a 2 bladed gsc 64" ground adjustable.  This was sold by avid aircraft when my kit was purchased In1992.

    I'm as dumbfounded about this as everyone else.  Can't confirm the tach is right but I do know my egts went to almost 1300 with anything more then half throttle.  When I researched this the high egts happened from a under loaded engine.   I'm going to test out a gsc prop tomorrow.  

     

    Thanks

    Bill

    Bill, look on the redrive and see what ratio you have - post it please.  One nice thing about an adjustable prop is pitch-to-match, but you cant change diameter without new blades!  EDMO

    Hi Ed I'll check the gear ratio tomorrow for everyone and report back. 

     

    Thanks

    Thanks

    Hi everyone I have for sale the sought after scimitar Peery Propeller 71"x37" that used to be sold with the avid kits.   These props are said to be very efficient and produce great numbers. I installed this prop on my avid speedwing and was able to get 85mph at half power with no wing fairings installed.  Unfortunately my engine was at 6700rpms at said half power.  Not sure what to make of this but the prop is efficient but obviously the wrong prop for my Rotax 582 with b box.  I believe this prop will be perfect for a Rotax 503.  Asking $250 plus shipping.  Less than 1 hour on the prop since new.  Email flyhigh77777@gmail.com or cell 941-780-0559   

     

    Thanks

    Hi everyone I'm preparing for the first flight of my avid mk4 with a rotax 582 and the 2 standard avid front mounted cheek radiators.  I need to do the rotax recommended break in but I get about 7 minutes into it and the water temp gets up to 175F.  I've heard it's fine to spray water through the radiator but with the cheek radiator at the front of the cowling this is going to cause a lot of the water to conta I the engine and I am fearful of causing damage to the engine.  How does everyone break in there 582 engined avids?

     

    thanks

    Just finishing up the last few details of my second hand avid flyer kit. My kit was missing the belly skin and the manual is very sparse on the details of this piece. Does anyone know the thickness of the piece of aluminum used? .020", .032", .050",or? Thanks for any help.
