Hi Paul, I'd love to see your trailer when it's done. I am interested. And I'd really like to see your Mono N914PB. I think you need to fly on up to Bishop one day. Kevin, A211, will become N211KA (o
I fitted a Trutrak Digitrak under the passenger seat after looking at Steve Dunsmuir's pictures. He did it before the module went in; I did it after. I made access doors in the seat bottom to get to
Hi All, I am cutting the hole for the exhaust tailpipe in the lower cowl of the 914 powered XS. It looks like the new muffler (silencer) makes the bulge in the cowling no longer necessary? I was thin
Thanks for all the comments on this subject. I think I'll aim the tailpipe at about the 4:00 position, the cowl goes on and off well enough, and cut off the "bump" for the old style muffler. Dave, I
Karl, is that "three extra wires" the way you ordered the unit from Grand Rapids? Kevin Carl, I have no idea what your problem might be. My EIS is wired to the main bus and that seems to work fine. I
Yes, how much paint y'all? Kevin To all that have painted, It's time to consider ordering paint. I have a friend that works for Sherwin Williams's marketing department. He is recommending there premi

The XS already has a duct with two radiators in it. Is there anyone flying with a heater intake aft of the oil cooler on the XS? Does this provide some real heat? Seems like CO would not be a problem
The wastegate cable goes through the intake baffle near the air cleaner. What methods have folks used to keep the cable housing from rubbing on the baffle? Is this a job for those cable safe things I
Thanks Tony, cablesafe it is then. One for the firewall and two for intake housing. Too late on the good advice of marking the cable and servo actuator. I pulled the cable off a while ago to mount th
Hi Andrew, My manual (oct. 1999) shows in fig.3, the "W18 aligned with shroud inner surface". Does your manual not that drawing? Kevin I am cutting the slots for the W18 plates in the wings. These wi
And a tailwheel endorsement? Kevin To fly a monowheel with short wings, I don't think you need a complex rating since the flaps are linked to the gear. With the long wings, they do not have flaps, an
And do you need to also have a "self launch" logbook endorsement ? Kevin Long wings glider rating - if you want it to be registered that way with the FAA. Dave A227 Mini U2 -- --
No one has yet mentioned the advantage of increased TAS at the high cruising altitudes possible with the 914. Higher the better! And Paul, refill your O2 from your own big cylinders of welding oxygen
Below is a message I saved from Andy. One thing to keep in mind is that if you move the cowl forward in an effort to provide clearance to the exhaust you will decrease the clearance between cowl and
Hi Ron, I have installed a stub for a removable T.E. probe in the fin, same as most sailplanes. I did it while constructing the fin, at the junction of the fin cap. I ran a conduit through the fin ri
Hey Dave, Where do you get this "new NPG+ coolant"? Kevin I just complied with the Rotax mandatory service bulletin by replacing my coolant with the new NPG+ coolant - waterless. The concept is simpl
