Hello,
My name is Mr. Michael Mccarthy, I have contacted you before without any response from you. Please replied if you receive this message. I have something very important to discuss with you, I have a vital information to give you. Could you please get back to me on (mmichaelmccarthy4@gmail.com ) for full details.
Michael Mccarthy.
I live in Watertown NY and I bought a completed 601 HDS in June. Mine has the 80 HP Rotax 912. It was built in 2000 and it currently has 460 hours on it. How close are you to finishing your plane?

Thanks for getting back to me. I've had an email from Laary Mcfarlane who has the MAcmachine website. Larry has the radiator 31 inches back from the firewall as it's coller and is better for C of G. I'm planning to do this too. He also provided this info re mufflers and engine heat:
Another point I should have made was the Stratus muffler system is great, but a cabin heat muff around the muffler will lower temps at the radiator by 7-degrees by dumping warm air to the cabin or over the side outside the flow into the radiator. Radiator intake and louvers provide about 10-degrees more cooling thru efficient airflow. It all adds up.....
The Bing carb *main jets* need to be #176 or 178 and the *needle jet* needs to be 2.76 or 2.78 to keep the EGTs in line. I use the 176 - 2.76 combination in cold weather less than 40-degrees F.
and 178 - 2.78 in the warm weather anything above 40-degrees F.
My engine EGTs run between 1350 and 1425. 1450 is my EIS warning set point.
It would be good for you to have a "Bing Carburettors Aircraft Tuning and Parts Manual" phone
1-800-309-2464 and it's about $8.00 plus postage.
Cheers,
Greg.
I'm finishing a 601 HDS fitted with a stratos subaru e-81 and have a problem that the front undercarriage spat could impact onthe underside of the water cooling radiator. Could you possible post some photos of the underside of your aircraft's fuselage so I can see where the radiator is mounted?
Thanks,
Greg.
