RE: Super Skybolt ARF

As a matter of factI hope to re-install the pump this weekend. Been too busy to do it. Have flown to 'Bolt several times though. A lot of fun for sure.

RE: Super Skybolt ARF

Mine does it on the ground so it must be engine/cowl related. I found the check valve was touching the cowling. Anything there will surely resonate. I have a plan to try and isolate the noise. ...

RE: Super Skybolt ARF

Just cruising around at half throttle or below it sounds 'normal'. It's much more pronounced when that 110 is pulling hard. I'm going to try it without the coils to double check that but they feel...

RE: Super Skybolt ARF

I've thought about insulating the pre-heater. We use some stuff that we call fire sleeve on the race cars at work. It's a white, fire-proof woven fiber covered with aluminum foil on one side and...

RE: Super Skybolt ARF

Vibration or noise? Not that I can discern. The coil is very tight on the muffler and is wired at all 3 bosses. The smoke oil comes from the pump, through the pre-heater coil, through a black...
