[quote][/quote]Hi Paul 2 seater. Warp drive is good. With a 582 blue top, e type gearbox. Cruise 60 to 65 mph @ 5300 rpm. I chose the warp drive since its composite nature is less maintenance, vibration etc I have also kept it as a taildrager, maybe convert it to a tricycle undrecarriage later on. B...

Koala club - I have a koala which is currently at panorama ZS-WJI. I will soon move to Kliprivier airfield. I have a new 582 warp drive prop etc. GLA (great little aeroplane)

So far so good. I have logged just over 25hrs with a microair radio. Intercom is fine. Just make sure your headsets are both the same and are set up. I tried a different headset and the system went pair shaped and when i went back to the origionals it worked fine.

good life, good consumption

i would prefer the HKS

reasonable power

i believe the 582 can deliver a little more but i would say the HKS will offer plenty of power. But then again how is the support for the HKS

Before take off i let my engine warm up to 55deg C and sometimes to 60deg. I take off and the EGT's are at the lower end of the green band. Later on in the flight after some low level i increased the power to maximumum and this time the EGT's were on the high end of the green arc (close to 620 deg)....

Thanx Morph

On the odd occasion i have forgotten switch it off, Only to switch it off after 10 to 15 min into the flight. I like pilot proof systems.

Is there any problem with leaving the electrical fuel pump on all the time. (facet) it is a series connection and is installed after the gascolator, filter and before the diaphram pump. Can it damage the diaphram pump?

Another thing, the carb mounting rubbers. If they crack, which they tend to do, they will suck air, causing a lean mixture and viola, hole in piston and down you go. A big secret in keeping 2 strokes reliable is running them regularly. Look at training aircraft, amazing wokload without a hitch. If ...

Although the 582 is not a "type cetified" engine i feel that the 582 is the source of power for many of our planes. I want to make my 582 even more reliable than any "type certified" engine. It should be no mistry, so thats why i have posted this letter requesting input and tips for reliable safe an...

Thanx for the tip, i will put the old fuel in my car or bike and i dont care if they misfire or run rough but i will do anything within my power and pocket to fly safely. (-) On reading the accident forum i get the horrors when i read about engine failures etc. The safety of the 582 should be no mis...

How long can you store fuel in your tank before it becomes a hazzard. The fuel in this case is premix and for a 582. Is there a time limit? I have heard that old fuel can cause engine outs etc
