If you can get through on the phone and talk to Hal that would be the way to go.  Probably very busy now what with Oshkosh and all.

I had a chat with him when he visited our local Pancake Breakfast fly in, really nice guy.  My interest was in the larger "balance tube"  - Fly Gas Intake Modification  information that I had sent to him and he has developed as a kit for sale.

I took his lead and modified my 912ULS - only one flight in rough, bouncy conditions but seems much smoother.

Check the internet Google Rotax intake balance tube
