45* flaps at 45mph? Why?
Total flap deflection is an interesting topic. When I started building my plane we wanted 70*. That was problematic and as it turns out, unnecessary. These days it’s 50*. I don’t know where BCSC is with the Rev 3 flap but initially they were targeting 30*.
be sure and clean that crankcase vent at each oil change if it does like the Carbon Cubs. It will coke up and block off.
Anybody have a picture/description of the Carbon Cub system ? Which model/year has it ?
Thanks !

I'd love to hear how it props on the pmags (9volt battery method?). I have not switched over yet as I am a hand propper. I bet it work better than my dual impulses but I have never tried it...
Motosix: Have you switched to Pmags and still handpropping ?
Olibuilt: How about you. Handpropping with Pmags ?
thanks,
Jonny

A flight trip is planned for September. I need to try this 9v battery thing before going....
Will let you know for sure.
Charlie, The P-mags require an external electrical power source at all times for starting and operating at minimum rpm.Even is the main battery is considered dead, it more than likely will still supply 9 volts or so.

Ahh, that does matter.My main battery is a EarthX ETX36C. I think it is the kind of battery that automatically shuts down, to prevent over discharged...
Oli, the 450 lb actuator is just barely strong enough.
I rigged up a scale to see how much force it took to push the plate under the tire. For about 2 seconds the scale went to 400 lbs. Then down to 200lbs. Should work, time will tell

FliLite ski angle changes very little whether up or down. On my old -12 mine were rigged flat. You're going to be wallowing in the air with wheels down.
I'd move the aft check cable further back on the longeron.
Just thinking out loud.... can you. Change length f rear cable as ski goes up or down by pulling on it??? To keep angle in line? Or add a hard ski nose up stop?

With retractable wheel-skis, the front and rear cables should be parallel, or nearly so. Otherwise the ski will change its pitch attitude considerably.
Move the front cable to the lower engine mount.
