Team,

I am looking for what everyone has there idle rpm set to? I have the Rotax 670. I have been seeing 2200-2500, is this correct? Also do you have your throttle control set to when it is all the way pulled out it is set to this idle speed or do you have it set a little lower and just add a bit of throttle to bring rpm up.

Thanks again. 

Thank you tons. 

Hey Guys,

I just installed a 670 on my Avid MK IV HH. I am now doing a weight and balance. I just wanted to see what line do you use to level the plane. Do you use the bottom of the door? I have the Excel file and my old WB from builder. Also what do you use as the datum line, my paper work is showing the leading edge. Just want to confirm. Also any info on doing this process would be appreciated. thanks. 

Thank you, I shall keep the search going. 

Team,

Does anyone know a good spot to buy the rubber for the engine mounts? Thanks for the help

Chris, I am pretty jelly right now, seat warmers, I don't even have a heater in mine hahaha. That is good info, ok just need to draw up the load and I think I will be fine. Also installing a heater haha. 

Thank you for this, that is a great way to do this. Right now i just have LED landing lights. Ok let me add up the draw and get back to you. Thank you

Need some info. I am shipping off the 582 for a new 670. While off I was thinking about installing an EFIS from Grand Rapids. Does the 670 or 582 provide enough power to run it along with charging the batt, radio, lights Etc.. Is anyone running an EFIS now, if so which one and did you have to do anything special for it?

Thanks for the help. 

Sorry Mike I am out in CA

I got invited up to a Luscombe flyin at O22. Met tons of awesome guys, and saw tons of awesome planes.  First time flying above the clouds, what an amazing feeling. Special thanks to Jake's Air Repair. 

Nice little river flight!

Awesome, keep them coming. 

This is what I fly for, well done!

I will try out the grass strip and hike up to get you guys some better pics. 

This is out by Lincoln CA, right behind the Sutter Buttes. Yes they are decommissioned, I saw an old strip and want to land and hike up to them. Need to do some more research so the MPs don't show up haha. 

With such a great weekend, I took the Avid up behind the Sutter Buttes to find the Missile Silos, and found a great road to land on. Also turns out there is a strip next to the Silos, does anyone know if you are allowed to land there?

Just got my tailwheel in the Avid and was cut loose. I have been practicing and found a nice dirt road for my first off airport landing, super exciting. Location is North Sac Area. 

I am in need of a new pump for my 582, does anyone know anything about the Mikuni 14-2223 dual round pump? the pump has a flow rate of 35 LPH. it is a bit smaller then my existing pump.Or should I order up the Mikuni 14-2224, the  new square one? where is a good place to order these pumps up from?

thanks. 

Pic in order.

Original pump

new 14-2223 pump

PS i am going to mount the new pump horizontal. 

That would be great, the FAA certified welding shop guys wanted $1,200.00 for the repair. Real great guys over at Loree Air, but just a bit to costly for me. Please let me know what you come up with. 

Hey everyone,

looks like my mount had a small crack in it and it finally gave out while towing it home. See the pics. I have the mount in the shop looking to get a cost to repair. I would like to see if anyone has a mount for sale, just so I have options in case the shop wants an arm and a leg. Please let me know, 

Thanks

That was a great video, really like the angles you were able to get from the wing tips. Keep them coming!

Had a great time at the fly-in/STOL demo in Clarksburg this weekend, thanks for the invite Joey. Here are some pics from the day, hope you enjoy.
