    Ideal Idle RPM
    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.

    Weight and Balance with new 670
    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.

    Electrical Power out of the 582 or 670
    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.

    Sutter Buttes Dirt Road
    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?

    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.

    Avid MK IV 582 Motor Mount Needed
    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
