Hello Courtney , please take care of max coolant temp . It’s much lower in a 2 stroke engine , if remember it right it was max 80 C !!! Save and fun flying .
Courtney, It sounds like you are on track for the upgrade. Just be sure to match the gear box to the prop to put the correct load on the engine. 2 strokes need to have the load, carbs, exhaust and engine all matched. When you have it running be ready for a lot of right foot....lots more torque !! You may want to fly single from the right seat to help offset the left torque. Bring the throttle up slowly and never go full throttle flying near stall speed. My project for today is prop swap a damaged IVO on the 582 here..... may require my machine shop to cut and balance the blades to clear the tail booms and match this used 100hp 3 blade Warp Drive to the 582. Temp below freezing this morning but hope to fly it today.
8000ft to 10000ft!?!? Sounds like it worked fine, even more than enough. Seems you have chosen a heavier and more complicated machine, worth it? Hope see you in a new video showing results. Best luck always!
One of the reasons for the two seater is that I can log the hours needed to get a CFI certificate. The hours on an ultralight doesn't count for anything.
I upgraded my Raven trike from a 447 to a 582 nearly 30 years ago... fun project and going from 40 to 65 HP made it much better, if a little nose high due to the increased weight at the back. You obviously love the Quicksilver, you could get something already more powerful? I seem to remember, is it Dragonfly?, that I got towed up in a hang-glider behind at Wallaby Ranch back in about 2000... they looked good
Feel free to comment!
Love it 👍😁
@@chrisgoetz3889 thank you!

Thanks for the comments.
Clever lady, I wish you luck and Im looking forward to seeing the finished product whenever that may be 👍
Thank you!
I'm looking forward to this!
Thank you
Good luck, hopefully all your parts will come together quickly.
Thanks!
A lot of work, but it will be worth it. 👍
You got that right!
Is fuel consumption a concern? Will a slightly larger fuel tank be a future consideration?
I already have the largest tank available -- 12 gallons.
Good luck👍
Thanks ✌
Hi Courtney... Have you flown other part 104's ?..i.e. Aerolite,or others? Whats your favorite?
I've flown a Challenger, Kolb and Quicksilver. Quicksilver is the winner. I'd like to try an Aerolite 103
The aerolite looked smooth 😄happy landing
