Hatz Biplane Association

Agree with the others; I really like how the fuselage and Rotec fit together on your plane. Well done!

That is AWESOME! Well done!

I am going to be in a learning mode on the R3600 for a while. Have three questions:

1. I am monitoring both EGT and CHT on all 9 cylinders -- what are the
parameters that I should be seeing? I need to set the high temperature alarms but have
no idea what temperatures are normal for the engine.

2. To the Hatz guys with the R3600 -- what rate of climb are you seeing.

3. Seeing oil deposits on the left landing gear leg -- the right leg is not collecting oil.
Is that from the start up oil out of the exhaust and on the left side due to prop
wash? And it could be a drip leak -- I need to check into that. Any comments?

Thanks, Stan

I agree with Ed. I really like the way the cowling is matched to the engine. I'm struggling with the cowling on my HC so your pictures are timely. Thanks for sharing them.

Very well done!
I wish my brother started the Hatz in 80's. Then again I don't have a brother.
Enjoy this beautiful creation and feel free to give us more updates, pictures, performance numbers, etc.

Beautiful!

Wow! The Rotec looks perfect on the Hatz, that is the first one I have seen on a Kelly D. Great job, really nice lines and beautiful paint. I love the way the fuselage fits with the engine, that is always a challenge and yours looks great.

Trying again to upload a few pictures of the Kelly D.

Congratulations!

Finished the Kelly D and it took it's first flight on March 31th. Everything was absolutely perfect -- trim, etc. Flight was 35 minutes. I was going to insert a few pictures of her but can't get that done -- will take input from someone on how to do that.
