High Altitude Compensator.... Basically it redirects some vacuum from the

intake and directs it to the float bowl to make the amount of fuel passing

through the main jet reduce with altitude.  It allows you to fly at greater

altitudes and you won't spend as much time lifting and dropping the needles.

Noel,  You can still get artic sparrow kits too where the needle has a screw 

on it silver soldered on and you turn on knob for each carb.

I have a friend with that on his Rotax and it works ok.   I am not sure if 

it really worth the effort though unless you routinley fly from Sea level to 

over 7500  alot.

To me it just something else to screw up.  I can get away chnaing needles 

once in fall which I just did all the way rich and then revert back again in 

spring again.



Keep it simple.



Dave

Using the HAC you would only use the most rich setting on your main needle.

The rest of the leaning would be done with the HAC.  Of course you would

still check your needles every ten hours or so.



My reason for looking at the HAC is that I an planning a trip from coast to

coast in Canada.  The plan is to traverse the whole Enchilada, from St.

John's harbour in the East to Victoria harbour in the West. In between there

is a little bump called the Rocky Mountains that I would like to be able to

traverse with altitude to spare.

Is the Bing carburetor from the 912 adaptable to the two stroke Rotaxes.  I 

have never seen this brought up before, but the Bing has an altitude 

compensating diaphragm and the carb is suposed to adjust mixture up to 

10,000 ft., I believe.

I'll bet you'll find a problem with 2-stroke engine pulse vibration if someone were to trry and adapt a 912 carb to a 582. I believe it would be rough on needle seats or some other problem.

I'm using the HACman and like it. You only get about 80F of EGT variation, 

though.

I may have to go North through Saskatchewan thee isn't too many places to

put down on floats on the prairies.  I've been considering getting a set of

full lotus amphibs just for the trip.  What I'd really like is a set of

amphib Aerocets.  I have the straight Aerocet and like them.  Crossing from

Newfoundland to the mainland is going to be tricky too.  I haven't decided

yet whether to go the Quebec North shore or straight across the Cabot

Straight.  The straight is close to 100 Mi. but there are usually many ships

there.  The flight form the park outside Port Aux Basques to Sydney is about

140Mi it will require a good day.
