8 KC Flight Shop Republic Seabee Page 11 ENGINE CONTROLS. The engine controls, which consist of throttle, mixture and carburetor heat are push-pull type, designed so that all knobs are forward against the panel for take-off. When the knobs are pulled out, the selections are: closed throttle, mixture in the idle cut-off and carburetor heat Hot. When pushed in, selections are open throttle, carburetor heat Cold and mixture auto-rich. The intermediate positions of the mixture control select lean mixtures. PROPELLER CONTROL. The standard propeller installation is ground adjustable and noncontrollable. The optional installation is controllable by push-pull control on the instrument panel. To select high RPM, push the control against the panel; to select low RPM, pull the control aft. The controllable propeller is also reversible. To reverse propeller: Idle the engine, place normal pitch control in high RPM, and slide the reversing lever control, which is located overhead, to the full aft position. Note: Do not exceed 1750 RPM in reverse! When returning propeller to normal thrust, be certain that the propeller reversing lever is locked in the forward position so that accidental propeller reversal is impossible. SURFACE CONTROLS. Control of surfaces is by conventional wheel-and-post and rudder pedals. To remove the dual control wheel release the locking clip and pull the pin between the wheels. Remove the dual column from its socket and stow in the bracket provided under the right front seat. Replace the pin and secure it with the locking clip. A conventional trim tab lever and indicator is located overhead. LANDING GEAR. To lower or retract the landing gear, lift the gear selector handle and slide it to the desired position; move the pump handle fore and aft with full strokes until the gear reaches the locked position at which time the signal lights will indicate lock. As an added precaution, pump several extra strokes. 8

9 KC Flight Shop Republic Seabee Page 12 LANDING FLAPS. To lower or raise the flaps, lift the flap selector handle and place it in the forward or aft position and pump. Partial flap deflection may be had by returning the selector to neutral after pumping flaps to desired position. PARKING. To set the parking brake, push the pedals and pull the control knob marked Park. To release the parking brake, return the parking control and depress pedals. SIGNALS. When the gear signal light is green, the landing gear is locked down; if the signal light is red, the landing gear is up. These signals are automatic. MISCELLANEOUS. To adjust the front seats for leg-room, release the lock at the base of the seat and slide the seat to the desired position. The back rests of the front seats may be reclined to form a double bed. All lights are controlled from switches on the instrument panel. The anchor is stowed under the floor in the forward section of the cabin. The baggage compartment access door is above the rear seat. A single fuel pressure gauge provides readings for both fuel pumps. To select the desired reading, switch pump selector on the instrument panel to RIGHT or LEFT. 9

10 KC Flight Shop Republic Seabee Page 13 As safety precautions for you as pilot and for your passengers a complete inspection of your Seabee should be made before each flight. Don t neglect the weather forecasts. Weather conditions play one of the most important parts in successful flight. Check all instructional material for procedures and follow them. Don t start inspection until ignition switch is checked for off position. 10

11 KC Flight Shop Republic Seabee Page 14 EXTERIOR CHECK (PREFLIGHT) Look your airplane over carefully; walk around it and observe the landing gear, floats, water rudder and attachments for looseness or wear. Examine the structure for cracks and for corrosion particularly if you are operating on salt water. Check oil level and view lines and connections for leaks. Be on the lookout for proper safetying of bolts, nuts and turnbuckles. Move control surfaces and note their alignment and soundness. Make certain the doors, access openings, inspection plates and cowlings are properly fastened. Inspect your fueling. Make absolutely certain that the gas cap is properly replaced and firmly secured on the filler neck. Survey the propeller for nicks, cuts and cracks. Drain water at strainer and tank sump drains and check that drain cocks are closed. 11

12 KC Flight Shop Republic Seabee Page 15 INTERIOR CHECK (PREFLIGHT) As soon as you enter the cabin require your passengers to fasten their safety belts; then fasten yours. Cultivate this habit. Carefully view the cabin and note that all doors are securely closed and that your fire extinguisher and first aid kit are at hand. Check your surface controls again from the inside---raise and lower the elevators...work the ailerons and rudder...move the engine controls. Check propeller reversing lever for normal thrust setting and insure that the lock is engaged so that the propeller may not be reversed accidentally. With your ignition switch still in the OFF position, turn on the battery switch. Observe your lights and instruments. Consult the weight book for permissible loading and check that you are within the load limits; then set trim in proper relation. STARTING ENGINE As a precautionary measure before starting engine always make certain that no one is near the propeller. If the engine has not been operated for some time and is cold, it is a good policy to pull the propeller through by hand for about two revolutions before starting. To start the engine, open throttle slightly beyond the idle position. Push mixture control in to the full rich position and carburetor heat control to the cold position. Close battery switch and place ignition switch to START position. When engine fires return ignition switch to B (both) position. Do not operate starter for more than 30 seconds at any one time; allow one minute rest before engaging the starter again. If the engine appears to be loaded (flooded), place mixture in the idle-cut-off position (full out), open throttle wide and crank the engine over with the starter to clean out the mixture before attempting to start in the regular manner. 12

13 KC Flight Shop Republic Seabee Page 16 WARM UP As soon as the engine fires, check the oil pressure gauge; if oil pressure is not indicated within a few seconds after starting, shut off engine at once and investigate the cause. Operation with lack of lubricant can result in severe engine damage. After starting engine set throttle for a speed of about 900 RPM and permit the engine to warm up at this speed for several minutes. Then increase speed to 1200 RPM. After further warm up check engine operation on single magnetos at full throttle. Maximum permissible drop from double to single ignition is 150 RPM. Do not operate on the single magneto for any period of time other than that required to note the RPM drop. If the controllable propeller is installed, check for pitch change and reverse action. First make sure that your doors are securely closed. FINAL CHECK As a last minute check, prior to take-off, see that safety belts are fastened securely. Examine the control panel again and verify that mixture control is in the full rich position. Check for oil pressure and temperature, fuel pressure and generator charge. Check that lock of propeller reversing lever is in the forward position. 13

14 KC Flight Shop Republic Seabee Page 17 LAND TAKE-OFF After the ground test has been completed the Seabee is ready for take-off: Taxi airplane forward in order to lock and center tailwheel. Open throttle to full RPM. The airplane will take off in about 800 feet with a normal load; when airborne, retract the landing gear. Adjust throttle to power desired (see power charts). WATER TAKE-OFF Take-off from water presents little difference from normal land takeoff except that on water the Seabee requires about 1000 feet of run at sea level, with full gross load and no wind. Extreme care should be exercised on glassy water take-offs. Be sure to continue the climb after leaving the water to prevent the possibility of letting the nose drop and flying back onto the water. Use fully-extended flaps for water take-offs. When airborne, retract the flaps at a slow, steady rate. CAUTION Do not retract flaps at less than 250 feet altitude for airspeeds below 80 mph. 14

15 KC Flight Shop Republic Seabee Page 18 CRUISE CONTROL For increased economy in level flight the mixture may be leaned provided that allowable cylinder head temperatures are not exceeded. To lean, maintain constant throttle position in level flight and observe RPM indicator while adjusting mixture control; mixture setting is at best power when RPM is maximum. A change in altitude or throttle setting will necessitate readjustment of the mixture control. Maintain correlated rpmmanifold pressure settings for controllable propeller installations. CLIMBING At sea level the Seabee climbs at a rate of 650 feet per minute. The best climb occurs at 75 IAS and at 2500 RPM with flaps and gear up. STALLING Stalling speed at sea level is 58 IAS with flaps and wheels down and 66 IAS when landing gear and flaps are up. Ample warning of approach to the stall is evidenced by a noticeable buffeting of the control column. When the stall occurs, the Seabee pitches moderately with little tendency to roll, then regains flying speed. A spin will not occur unless assisted by uncoordinated control movements. Should the airplane go into a spin, recovery is accomplished by neutralizing the controls. Recovery may be hastened by using normal recovery technique; namely, rudder against the spin followed by a slight forward movement of the control column. A burst of power greatly accelerates recovery. 15

16 KC Flight Shop Republic Seabee Page 19 DIVING CAUTION Do not exceed 159 mph in dives APPROACH Before approaches for landings, place mixture in the full-in position (rich) and propeller control to high RPM position. See that all safety belts are fastened and check the fuel quantity. If necessary, set the carburetor to HOT. With the throttle set at 1000 RPM, maintain an approach speed of 80 IAS. This speed is best for dead stick landings. LANDINGS CAUTION Before landing check that the mixture selection is full-rich and that propeller control is in high-rpm. For a land plane landing set the selector valve for flaps and gear to 16

17 KC Flight Shop Republic Seabee Page 20 the forward position and pump until the signal light glows green signifying that the wheels are down and locked. When close to the runway cut the throttle; with moderate use of the brakes the landing roll will be about 400 feet. After completion of the landing roll raise the flaps and taxi to position desired, then set the parking brake. Normal landing of the Seabee on water involves the same landing technique except that the gear remains up (signal light red) and flaps are down. The airplane hydroplanes on its vee bottom and directional and lateral control is maintained as long as there is forward speed. The water rudder operates in conjunction with the air rudder. When landing the Seabee on glassy or still water, make no attempt to judge height; use night landing technique. Adjust power to maintain 65 IAS with flaps down. This combination will insure a nose-high attitude and gradual rate of descent. Allow the airplane to land itself using a slight amount of back pressure on the control wheel. When the water is contacted, close the throttle and proceed as normal. STOPPING ENGINE Permit the engine to run at approximately 800 RPM for a short time before stopping it. To stop engine pull mixture control lever full out to the idle-cut-off position. After the engines stops, shut off the ignition switch and then the master and battery switches. 17

18 KC Flight Shop Republic Seabee Page 21 EMERGENCY OPERATION Too dark to make a safe wheel landing? Forced landing in a short field? It may never be necessary, but should you be in a tight spot, leave your wheels up or retract them if already down and come in for a keel landing. Flight testing proves that an emergency keel landing in the Seabee is apparently a safe landing. The Seabee has been keel-landed on hard surface runways, on sand beaches, and on turf. If, on an approach, you find it necessary to undershoot a field due to running out of gas or engine failure or for other reasons, and have not time to fully retract the landing gear, move the landing gear selector handle back to landing gear up position and start pumping. The first couple of strokes will unlock the gear and move it sufficiently aft to permit it to swing on landing. The extent of damage in this event will be slight and most important of all there is negligible danger of personal injury. Remember, in any emergency, a keel landing is the best way out. The Seabee has been demonstrated to be fully maneuverable under all flight conditions with one flap down and the other up. Test stalls and recoveries in this condition experienced no change from normal characteristics. Therefore in the event that one flap only should deflect or if one flap fails to retract, excess aileron is available for use against the extended flap and the Seabee can be flown with relative ease. Negligence in failing to check doors closed before flight, can be the only reason for a bow door swinging open during a negative-airloadcreating maneuver; in this condition the Seabee is easily maneuverable and controllable for a perfectly safe landing. Some buffeting will occur due to the interrupted air flow, but it is best to avoid any possibility of this experience by checking your doors closed before take-off. During water operation with one float only, hold that float on the water keeping the other wing out of the water. Effective aileron control can easily be maintained at 40 mph or over. If speed is less, the airplane may be held in its normal attitude by keeping the wing with the missing float headed into the wind so that the airplane will lean over onto the other wing. If the wing without the float has dropped into the water, it may be lifted out of the 18

19 KC Flight Shop Republic Seabee Page 22 water by stepping out throwing your weight on the wing lift strut of the opposite wing. You can then taxi to shore. Any water in the wet wing will drain off in a few moments. Don t forget that Seabee seat backs and cushions are designed to support a person afloat and may be used as life preservers in an emergency. Fuel-flow may be completely cut-off, if necessary, by pulling forward on the fuel flow shut-off control, which is located under the pilot s seat. Your best assurance against emergencies, is faithful inspection, care and proper maintenance. 19

21 KC Flight Shop Republic Seabee Page 24 ENGINE The Seabee is equipped with a Franklin 500 engine which is a six cylinder, 500 cu. in. displacement, direct drive, horizontally opposed engine. The engine is mounted to rigid structure by three shock mounts, two at the front and one at the rear. Detailed specifications are: Rated HP 215 Rated Speed 2500 RPM Idle Speed 500 to 600 RPM Fuel-Min Octane 80 Nonleaded Aviation Compression Ratio 7.0:1 Displacement 500 cu. in. Bore 5 cu. in.

22 KC Flight Shop Republic Seabee Page 25 FUEL SYSTEM Fuel for the Seabee is contained in a plio-cell bag of 75 U.S. gallons capacity located in the hull under the baggage compartment. The fuel is piped to the carburetor through a strainer and pumped by two AC diaphragm type engine driven pumps. Either pump can supply sufficient fuel to the engine. The fuel level quantity gage is electrically operated from a float in the fuel tank. A fuel pressure gage indicates pressure for either the left or right fuel pump as selected by a fuel pump switch on the instrument panel. Normally the fuel is shut off by pulling the mixture control to the idle cut-off position; in emergencies fuel may be stopped by pulling on the fuel-flow shut-off control located under the pilot s seat. 22

23 KC Flight Shop Republic Seabee Page 26 FUEL SYSTEM DIAGRAM 23

24 KC Flight Shop Republic Seabee Page 27 ENGINE CONTROLS. The Seabee engine controls are flexible shafts of the push-pull type. Controls are provided for the throttle, mixture, carburetor heat and propeller and are designed so that they are pushed forward against the instrument panel for the take-off condition. The propeller reverse control is directly overhead and is designed so that a positive lock must be disengaged before reversing the propeller. Before reversing propeller make certain that engine is idling and that doors are closed. Maximum RPM in reverse is 1750 RPM. 24

25 KC Flight Shop Republic Seabee Page 28 ENGINE CONTROLS DIAGRAM 25

26 KC Flight Shop Republic Seabee Page 29 SURFACE CONTROLS The control surfaces of the Seabee are actuated by the rudder pedals and the control wheel through a series of flexible cables housed under the cabin floor and lead through a series of pulleys to the control surfaces. The dual rudder pedals are synchronized with the pilot s pedals by mating gears on the connecting torque tubes between the two sets of pedals and the dual control wheel is synchronized with the pilot s wheel by engaging a split sprocket in the dual control column to a mating sprocket in the pilot s control wheel column. The dual column is removable and may be stowed under the front seat in the bracket provided. The water rudder cables are spliced to the air rudder cables so that operation of both surfaces is synchronized and made by the same pedals. The elevator trim tabs are controlled through sprockets and chains at the control and the surfaces. The control is by crank located overhead of the pilot. Fixed tabs are provided on the aileron and rudder. 26

27 KC Flight Shop Republic Seabee Page SURFACE CONTROL DIAGRAM

28 KC Flight Shop Republic Seabee Page 31 LANDING GEAR The hydraulically controlled landing gear is maintained in the up or down position by the geometry of the linkage. As noted on the landing gear diagram on the facing page, the linkage is designed so as to break during the transition phase of the gear operation and to remake at the up or down position, so that the center pivots of the linkage are past dead center travel. In this manner, positive lock is maintained until hydraulic pressure is applied to the cylinder permitting a break in the linkage. Note that the tail wheel is rotated to the up and down position and that the main gear is retracted and extended. 28

29 KC Flight Shop Republic Seabee Page 32 LANDING GEAR DIAGRAM 29

30 KC Flight Shop Republic Seabee Page 33 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM The flaps, main landing gear and the tail wheel are extended and retracted hydraulically. A single, manually-operated hydraulic pressure system activates both the landing gear and the flaps. A lever, extending upward from beneath the floor between the two front seats activates the pump with which hydraulic pressure is built up. Two other arms extending from this unit control the action of the fluid. The right lever directs the section of the landing gear while the one located on the left side determines the position of the flaps. The hydraulic power pack incorporates a series of check valves which prevent the temporary dropping off of pressure when transferring the hydraulic action from wheels to flaps or reverse. The system has a three and one-half pint capacity and uses a petroleum oil base hydraulic fluid, Specification 3580D or equivalent. 30

31 KC Flight Shop Republic Seabee Page HYDRAULIC DIAGRAM

32 KC Flight Shop Republic Seabee Page 35 BRAKE AND WHEELS The main wheels of the Seabee 7.00 x 8 and the tail wheel is a 10 smooth contour type. Each main wheel is equipped with bladder-type brake which is fed from its own master brake cylinder at each of the rudder pedals. A brake adjuster and a parking valve are installed in each of the lines between the master brake cylinder and the wheel. The positions of these parking valves are controlled at the instrument panel by a single parking control lever. A control is provided in the cockpit to engage or disengage a tail wheel lock thus permitting the tail wheel to be locked in the centered position or to be unlocked in order to swivel. 32

33 KC Flight Shop Republic Seabee Page 36 BRAKE DIAGRAM 33

34 KC Flight Shop Republic Seabee Page 37 Access and inspection holes are provided in the cabin floor for servicing cables, hydraulic lines, landing gear and gasoline tank. Additional access holes are provided on the exterior at the boom for servicing the tail wheel shaft and surface control cables. The engine cowling is hood type and opens from the aft end for ready access to the power plant. Drain plugs are provided in the keel and at the aft ends of the floats. 34

35 KC Flight Shop Republic Seabee Page 38 GROUND HANDLING 5 The best push points for ground handling are the wing struts. Do not use floats, float struts or empennage for push points. JACKING The base of the oleo and the cross tube will accommodate jacks. To jack the tail wheel, place jack under aft end of keel. HOISTING AND LIFTING Hoisting lugs are available for both the engine and the airplane. Do not lift Seabee by the stabilizer. LEVELING Leveling lugs are provided on the door posts for reference in leveling the Seabee. ANCHORING AND TOWING An anchor cleat is provided at the bow of the airplane. Tow by attaching suitable harness or tow bars at the landing gear.

38 KC Flight Shop Republic Seabee Page GENERAL SERVICING POINTS

39 KC Flight Shop Republic Seabee Page 42 GENERAL SERVICING CHART 39

40 KC Flight Shop Republic Seabee Page 43 SERVICING THE SHOCK ABSORBER STRUT The following service instructions when followed will result in a rapid and proper servicing of your shock absorber. All references used in this outline pertain to the illustration shown. Instructions are given for both pressure readings and measurements. Before attempting to take an extension measurement the airplane must be vigorously rocked. This is necessary since the gear is equipped with packing and is subject to the usual binding loads. It is also recommended that the gear be inflated to a higher pressure and the air bled to achieve proper extension, rather than try to build up the proper pressure by lifting the entire airplane with air pressure. The fluid level should be checked with the gear in the fully compressed condition before inflation. Before attempting to add to or check the fluid it is absolutely necessary to first bleed off any air that might be present by depressing the air valve. When all air has escaped the valve housing may be removed so that fluid can be added. 1. Depress air valve (A). Allow all air to escape. 2. Rock airplane vigorously. Check dimension (X) for full compression. This should be 2 7/16 inches. 3. Remove air valve body (A) and fill to overflowing with petroleum oil base hydraulic fluid Specification AAF-3580D or equivalent. DO NOT USE ALCOHOL OR CASTOR OIL BASE FLUIDS IN SEABEE STRUTS! 4. Replace and tighten air valve body and with the airplane in the empty weight condition, inflate to approximately psi. Rock the airplane vigorously to get a true extension reading at X. This should be 6½ ± ¼. 5. If necessary to obtain this reading, slowly bleed the air valve, rocking the Seabee at intervals until the desired dimension has been reached. 6. Should the gas tanks be full but the airplane otherwise empty inflate to approximately psi. Bleed air pressure, rocking airplane at intervals until the X dimension is 5 ± ¼. 7. To service the gear on a jacked-up plane, the strut should be inflated to 53 psi ± 5 psi. This should indicate full extension of 10 7/16 ± ¼. 40

41 KC Flight Shop Republic Seabee Page 44 REMOVAL OF WHEEL AXLE In removing the axle from the strut, the air must be completely removed from the strut before the axle itself is touched. The air valve body must not only be loosened, but must be removed when sufficient air has escaped to safety permit this. This is necessary because even with the air valve in the open position there still remains enough trapped air to push down on the lower sealing ring as the axle is removed. This force although slight could injure the mechanic performing this operation. When the air pressure has been removed from the strut, loosen and remove the bolt (B) in the lower portion of the strut and extract the axle. As an added safety precaution, a soft metal mandrel should be used to tap the axle out of the strut. 41

42 KC Flight Shop Republic Seabee Page 45 TIE-DOWN AND MOORING Tie-down rings for tie-down and mooring are provided at the outboard side of each float strut and at the aft end of the boom. The aft end should be tied to two points as noted in the illustration below. When tying-down, leave tail wheel in fore and aft direction. Use manila rope of at least 5/8 diameter for tie-down. When facing into the wind, use spoilers. If the area is dusty or heavy snow is falling use covers over plexiglass areas. If locking boards or control locks of any kind are used, place a conspicuous warning in the cockpit. 42

43 KC Flight Shop Republic Seabee Page 46 CONTROL SETTINGS Neutral setting of the controls is accomplished as indicated in the diagram shown below. With the exception of the trim tab and water rudder cables which are adjusted to hand-tight tension, cables for all control surfaces are adjusted to 20 ± 5 pounds. Adjustments for surface travel are made at the adjustable rod ends which actuate the surfaces; angular travel of all surfaces is: Elevators 28 up 28 down Elevator trim tabs 22 up 22 down Aileron 20 up 20 down Rudder 30 left 30 right Water rudder 30 left 30 right Flaps down 43

44 KC Flight Shop Republic Seabee Page 47 UPHOLSTERY The upholstery is a plastic coated fabric which may be cleaned with soap and water and further protected by waxing. EXTERIOR SURFACES The exterior surfaces of the Seabee can best be protected with a coating of high-grade wax. Salt water spray should not be allowed to remain on the surfaces for extended periods; washing with clear water is recommended. PLEXIGLASS The plexiglass areas of the Seabee must be cleaned with grit free agents; such as, soap and water, or a dilute water solution of a synthetic wetting agent. Kerosene or white gasoline may be used to remove grease or oil. Do not use plexiglass solvents or abrasives; such as, benzene, carbon tetrachloride, lacquer thinner, kitchen scouring powders, etc. To clean, a soft sponge or rag may be used, but it is preferable to use bare hand thus insuring grit free cleaning. 44

45 KC Flight Shop Republic Seabee Page 48 Scratches may be reduced by using Franklin Plexiglass Cleaner, Simoniz Liquid Cleaner or Noxon Cleaner-Polish on a grit-free cloth. Do not rub scratch-reducer too long or too hard at one spot. The glass areas should be waxed for added protection; recommended waxes are- Franklin s Plexiglass Wax, Johnson s Industrial Wax No. 102-C, 3M Auto or Simoniz Wax or Duco No. 7. To avoid undue abrasion follow these practices: Park Seabee so that it avoids propeller blasts from other airplanes. If dirt and sand is blowing, tie down Seabee with tail into wind. Do not dust plexiglass with a dry cloth. Always use water as a vehicle. Keep plexiglass well waxed. During hot weather allow cabin ventilation and thereby avoid high ambient temperature. 45

46 WHEELS KC Flight Shop Republic Seabee Page 49 To remove wheels it is necessary to release the parking brake and brake adjusters so that pressure is relieved on the wheel brakes. BRAKES The master cylinders are equipped with O-ring type synthetic rubber packing. Fluid is admitted into the master cylinder by removing the screw at the top of the cylinder. The vent hole in the filler screw must be clear at al times. Brake pedals should respond with firmness when depressed. Sponginess or softness of brake pedal denotes presence of air in the system. If brake pedal is firm but slowly and steadily requires further pedal depression, leakage past rings is indicated. Worn rings may be replaced by disassembly of the defective unit. Gravity bleeding is inefficient on the Seabee brake installation. In order to bleed system properly, pressure type bleeding is necessary. This may be done by attaching hoses at the wheel and master brake cylinders and pumping fluid up from the wheel cylinder until escaped fluid at the master cylinder is clear of air bubbles. The wheel brake is an expander type brake. 46

47 KC Flight Shop Republic Seabee Page 50 BRAKE ADJUSTMENT To readjust the brake linings for wear, turn the brake adjusters clockwise as far as possible and push the brake pedals hard. This action will lock the wheels; then back off on the adjusters until the wheels may be turned by hand against a slight drag. Before bleeding, loosen adjusters; after bleeding, readjust brakes as above. TAIL WHEEL UPSTOP Tail wheel upstop adjustment is made as shown in the following illustration. 47

48 KC Flight Shop Republic Seabee Page 51 LANDING GEAR SIGNAL SWITCHES Landing gear signal switches are located in the hull and are actuated by a lever on a shaft. Adjustment screws, which depress the switches, are installed on the lever; these screws are adjusted so that the switches are tripped at the up and down position of the gear. CYLINDER ADJUSTMENTS Adjustment for the main gear lock is made at rod end of retracting cylinder; adjust rod end so pins and leer are under moderate pinch. 48

49 KC Flight Shop Republic Seabee Page 52 FUEL-FLOW SHUT-OFF Adjustment of the fuel-flow shut-off control is indicated in the illustration below: VALVE ADJUSTMENTS Since the Franklin 500 is equipped with hydraulic valve lifters which automatically compensate for variations in engine clearances, rocker adjustment is seldom necessary. Before adjustments are made, oil must be bled out of the lifter bodies; adjustments are then made in the same general sequence of operation as is applied on most other aircraft engines. 49

50 KC Flight Shop Republic Seabee Page 53 CARBURETOR The carburetor is a fixed jet type and requires only an idle adjustment. The idle setting is 500 to 600 RPM. To adjust, warm up the engine and turn the throttle arm adjusting screw until an idle speed of 600 RPM is reached. Slowly adjust the idle metering adjustment until the engine runs smoothly at the maximum RPM which it is possible to obtain. Speed the engine up slightly and then permit it to settle back to idle position and readjust to 500 to 600 RPM. Permit the engine to run a little while at idle and then accelerate and return to idle again. If necessary, readjust to get a smooth idle with maximum RPM. 50

51 KC Flight Shop Republic Seabee Page 54 ENGINE Detailed specifications for the engine and various adjustments are included on page 21.

When on land, shut down the engine and engage the parking brake to deploy tie down ropes and tire chocks. These are just graphical enhancements and will not actually anchor down the aircraft. If you want to take a screenshot without pilot or passenger s, move the seat slightly forward. To use the reverse prop pitch, you must be at idle, and at the lowest prop pitch to disengage the prop reverse guard. Right click on the prop reverse lever to activate. Your aircraft will slowly back up until the prop reverse is disengaged. Please visit our forums at if you have any feature suggestions, find any bugs, or simply want to chat with the KCFS crew!
