To insure that the tips keep flying while the root stalls is why I only used VG's
from the wing tips to the inboard end of the flaps. That leaves a good bit
of mid wing to stall first.

I no longer have the drawing, but perhaps brother Cottrell or Beauford has a
copy to send you.
Before I learned a little about my computer, I snail-mailed about 50
drawings. Later, emailed about 200. It got to be too much.
Now, an outfit called _www.landshorter.com_ (http://www.landshorter.com)
has a nice setup for about $100 [so I'm told].
VG's give you the most bang for the buck I can imagine. Worth a C note & a

Grant:
You are saying, "45 degree turn" and I think you mean "45 degree bank".
There are a whole lot of varibles when it comes to gliding turns and
altitude loss. The faster you are flying when you begin the glide has a lot
to do with how much altitude will be lost. Also, how aggressive you turn
will make a big difference. A Kolb will turn on its wing tip, or so it
seems when you really honk it around using a lot of up elevator in a steep
bank.
I haven't flown in almost three months. Next time I fly, probably tomorrow,
if I can get the 912 cranked and knock off most of the dust, bug crap, ect,
I'll see what my altitude loss is in a 180 degree turn with a dead stick.
Dead stick will produce less altitude loss than an idling prop.
Good flying weather at hauck's holler, alabama, this afternoon, but I don't
know about tomorrow.
Take care,

100' and 50' seems awfully low, unless you have a good bit of energy
(speed) at the start... from what starting condition? There's also
reaction time. I figure 250' in my Ultrastar, sudden power loss from a
normal (i.e. low airspeed) climb... I use 300' to be safe.

My guess is a hastily begun step angle turn would yield the best

John,
Yes I meant 45o bank not turn. [Wink] Please do let us know how much you loss
in an engine out 180. I don't have the nerve to kill a perfectly good running
engine yet.
My test was for the purpose of determining how high i would need to be to turn
back to the runway if I had an engine failure on take off.
The 300 feet lost was from entering the turn to exiting wings level. I know it
will take a little more during a turn back due to the fact a 180 will not have
the plane aligned with the runway.

Grant:
Turning back to the runway kills lot of good folks. This maneuver
introduces a lot more ways to hurt your airplane and yourself.
My first engine out, in a fixed wing, was my Ultrastar. I was so dead set
on getting back to where I had come from, I mushed the little Ultrastar in,
experiencing a very hard landing. Engine quit dead about 100 feet on
takeoff. In my effort to get turned around, I did not see the several
thousand feet of taxiway almost directly in front of me.
Hard maneuvering with a dead engine during an emergency situation makes it
so easy to try to turn harder than the plane will fly, and try to stretch
the glide by slowing down airspeed. All the previous are inviting a stall,
spin accident.
I think I will shoot straight ahead, deviating left or right to make the
best landing I can. My primary purpose is to survive with as little damage
to me as possible. The airplane can be repaired or replaced if necessary.
Flying off a "real" airport, always us all of the runway, whether 3,000 feet
or 6,000 feet. At the rate our Kolbs climb, and the speed they climb, there
is generally always room to land if you experience an engine out on takeoff.

...Brother Davis...
Yessir, the Kleenex Kolb is a FireFly... True, the wing is a tad
abbreviated, but there is an upside -- it rides well in the chop while
the
long-wing sissies are getting the living hell pounded out of them in the
same stuff.
The little Nazi engine is indeed a 447... when it deigns to function, it
climbs the Fly in a sprightly manner, despite my gradually accumulated
bulk. With the IVO pitched for climb and the carb needle jacked up a
notch to keep up with the brutal 65 degree temps we have been
experiencing here in west Fla this past week, I reckon it did at least
800 fpm or so, turning 6350 rpm in the climb...Back in the summer in the
heat, I experimented with setting the prop at a more leisurely 6100 to
see if fuel endurance would improve, but it climbed like a Chevy
Suburban with low tires, so I reverted to the climb pitch setting... We
are both happier there...
The single most noteworthy improvement I see from the VGs on the Fly
wing is the ability to execute a power-off flare in ground effect from a
50 IAS glide without blowing out the bottom like a bowling ball through
a wet newspaper... the VG's add just enough extra lift at that critical
point to make it safe and fun... otherwise, needed 55 in the glide and
mebbe a touch of power at the flare... I predict that you will learn to
really like the drooping ailerons.... I think they make a big difference
in the ground effect operations of this short-winged little airplane.
One thing: You did not mention your height... Am considering hiring a
private contractor with appropriate equipment to sling-load me in and
out of the Fly, despite the fact that I skip breakfast and scrupulously
empty my pockets of car-keys, gas station receipts, excess change,
ball-point pens, the spare Arturo Fuente and the little
remove-before-flight tag from the BRS prior to attempting the dreaded
FireFly mount or dismount. Negotiating one's feet safely around the
windshield, whilst simultaneously suspending one's flabby butt in midair
over the seat with both hands on the siderails and a deeply veined
purple face, is a real crowd-pleaser.... Upon landing, I have been
known to feign illness, or a drunken stupor, and sit quietly in place in
the airplane until the onlookers lost interest and melted away before
attempting it. I don't know how long your legs are, but I recommend you
consider an enlarged windshield cut-out on the right side. Saves public
humiliation.... until one returns home, anyway...
Good luck with your Fly, sir...

Before my accident I only weighed 190 and was flying a Firestar with a

Guys, and Cristal,
I have completed the installation of a HKS 700 E to my Firestar II.
Well actually I still have to hook up the tach and install two switches
for the mags and add oil before I can fire it up. I am also waiting on a
quick connect oil drain valve to put on the bottom of the oil tank. It
should be here in a few days.
As you can see there are a pile of wires and stuff all over the top of
the engine, but at least every thing is contained on top of the engine.
I made these pictures small for the band width challenged. If any one
would like more detailed ( larger size let me know and I will send them
back channel)
I purchased the engine from Jerry Olenik of Green Sky Adventures in
Hawthorne Fl. I cannot stress enough how well he has treated me. I am
not by nature and inclination to be mechanically inclined. In fact if I
get grease on my hands I count the whole day as a failure. He took the
time to answer any and all of my questions to guide me through a very
traumatic experience. :-) Jerry has all the parts and modifications
needed to mount one of these engines on a Kolb as well as worked out all
the quirks and little things that you need for the installation. If any
of you decide to go four stroke, you could not do better than Green Sky.
I do think that there should be a "HKS for Dummies" manual since both
Jerry and HKS only hit the high spots and leave some of the other stuff
unexplained. However Jerry never complained when I called for an
explanation of where this or that goes.
The great flying weather has of course departed for regions a lot
further south. ( Yes Beauford, my heart bleeds for you, imagine having
to endure 65 degree weather, how terrible) Perhaps it will get warm
enough to get a few tests in to see the difference between this one and
a 503. I of course will have to do a weight and balance first, but I
hope to have it in the air soon.

With the Landshorter VG's installed on my Firestar as recommended by Landshorter,
the stall is more abrubt than without the VG's. Without the VG's there is
no classic stall with a break, but more of a mush that started at 40 mph indicated
airspeed with my Firestar. Slow flight below 40 mph was not possible, and
final needed to be flown at 50-55 mph (power off) to avoid a hard landing during
the flare.
After VG installation, control was rock solid and responsive right down to the
stall, which takes place at about 30 mph wings level unaccelerated. There is
no pre-stall buffet, and the break is distinct, much like that of a sailplane
with laminar flow wing. With VG's, final can be flown as low as 40 mph power
off with sufficient energy to flare without a hard landing.
There is nothing dangerous or radical about the stall with VG's, but it not as
forgiving as without VG's. My recommendation for a low time pilot new to Kolbs
is to get some hours on your new plane without VG's, and then install them after
reaching a reasonable level of proficiency.

John,
Thanks for the advice.
I do use the entire runway each time I fly and I don't plan on turning back unless
I have plenty of altitude say 700 + and no other options. Looking at the end
of runway 23 or 27 there are no good options that I would consider safe to
try to land in. Fairly dense tall trees, houses and large power lines! 27 is
3600 feet and 23 is 6000 so I never use 27/9.
Each time I make my departure I am constantly observing the runway left over ahead
of me and any other option to the left and right of me and thinking what
would I do if the engine quit now. I do the same when I am away from the airport
flying over the fields and trees.
I know making that turn under the stress of losing the engine will not be the same
as practicing the turn at altitude.

Yes, I traded in a 447 that originally came with the plane when I bought
it in 1997. Without a muffler he gave me 800.00 for the engine. This is
my third engine on the Firestar, and I have 447 hours on the plane. I
sold the 503 to another pilot in Wash.
Another point of interest regarding the change is that I had an EIS
model 2000 which is a two stroke model. I sent it in to Grand Rapids
Tech and they changed it to a four stroke model and supplied the
CHT,EGT, Oil temps as well as the oil PSI for a very reasonable price.
I really liked the 503 and didn't really make the change because I was
afraid that it would fail. It was the fuel consumption that got me. Four
gallons an hour at 64 mph is just not enough to go anywhere, and where I
live every where is a long way off. I made the trip to Texas by putting
an extra 10 gallons of gas in the back seat, but had no room for much
else. If you pencil it out, you will save enough money with the fuel
savings and the rebuild (300 hours if you follow Rotax recommendations)
to more than pay for the HKS. Rebuild on the HKS is 1000 hours. I should
be too feeble to either pass my BFR or get into the plane even with a
"Geezer lift", before it needs the rebuild.

Turning back to the runway kills lot of good folks.>>
Hi John,
One Christmas Day many years ago when I had been learning to glide for about
a couple of months this happened.
A friend who joined the club at the same time that I did strapped into our
old tandem seat Slingsby trainer. The instructor was in the back and they
were practicing `cable breaks`.
For those with no gliding experience. We were pulled into the air by an old
Allard sports car. The piano wire launch cable broke about every 4th
launch. Learning `cable breaks` was the gliding equivalent of `engine
failure`in the powered flying world.
The last thing anyone heard was the instructor sasying "OK Now Safety above
everything`. The Allard pulled away and the glider trundled down the runway
and into the air. At around 500 feet the instructor pulled the bung and
detached the cable to simulate a cable break. At that point the glider had a
mile of runway ahead and cracking the brakes and landing straight ahead was
the obvious drill. To the surprise of the watchers on the ground, the glider
turned back through 180 degrees. Even then it would have been OK. He could
have landed downwind with no trouble BUT.. when he got abreast of the launch
point he tried to turn back into wind. By this time he was low and was
afraid to put his wing down so he banked slightly and put in a bootful of
rudder, skidded into the turn and of course the inside wing stalled, the
plane dropped into an incipient spin for about 50 feet and dived straight
into the tarmac.
The pupil was killed outright. The instructor lingered a couple of days and
then died.
No one knows what happened. Presumably the pupil froze on the controls and
the instructor couldn`t over ride him.

Kolbers,
The time to turn an airplane depends primarily on the bank angle of the turn and
the airspeed being flown. It is a mathematical relationship that is a function
of the tangent of the angle of bank. Attached is an image of a spreadsheet
table I put together to show this relationship at various airspeeds and bank angles.
The first table shows the turn radius (not diameter) in feet for a given
bank angle and airspeed.
The second table uses this data to derive the time in seconds to make a turn of
270 degrees. I used 270 degrees because to get back to the runway you have to
turn 180 to get the right heading but then you are two radii away from the runway
so then you have to keep turning, say another 45 degrees then turn back 45
degrees to get re-aligned with the runway, for a total of 270 degrees of turning.
The third table takes the second tables data and ASSUMING a 600 FPM descent rate,
calculates the loss of altitude in the 270 degree turn.
NOTE: This is not a recommendation for or against turning back to the runway at
any time. It is simply showing the mathematical relationship amongst bank angle,
true airspeed, time to turn and altitude lost in doing so.

Larry, I have an HKS on my trike and I love it, especially the fuel
consumption. Another is the noise level, or rather the lack or it.
I strongly suggest you review section 5 of the Installation Manual
with respect to mounting the oil tank and the caution about the oil
cooler mounting.

Actually I already did and asked Jerry about whether or not to mount
the oil tank above the cooler. He said it was not necessary. I am not

I'm not surprised at the results of steep bank angles and higher airspeeds.
I believe I mentioned in a previous email, agressive turns take less time
and use less altitude. The problem with that maneuver is attaining and
maintaining the increased airspeed at low altitudes, and how hard can I
crank it around, at very low altitudes, without stalling.
If I get a chance to fly today, I will practice some of this stuff at

John H,
The first two tables are mathematical relationships that are independent of the
airplane being flown. This means that the turn radius and time to turn are the
same for any airplane at these bank angle and airspeed combinations. Ever notice
how big a radius it takes to turn a jet fighter flying at high speed? It
takes many miles to turn around at high speed, even in a near 90 degree bank angle.
Ever wonder why gyroplanes (and helicopters for that mater) can turn on
a dime? Because of their very low speed capability. At higher speeds they cannot
turn so quickly or in such short distances. It is pure math.
The third table, ASSUMES a 600 FPM descent rate. This table depends upon that assumption.
If your airplane descends at a different rate then the altitude loss
numbers will differ linearly. In other words if your airplane descends at say
450 FPM then the altitude loss will be 3/4 of those in the table shown for a
600 FPM descent rate.

It wasn't very good without the prop helping it around. Straight

The MkIII, to my pleasant surprise, seems much happier in a steep

Thom:
Helicopters are much more adept at making 180s than fixed wing. The primary
reason, rotary wing aircraft build rotor rpm in turns. The tighter the
turn, the more rotor rpm. Sometimes it took quite a bit of collective to
prevent overspeed and maintain rotor rpm in the green. Very low speeds
during autorotation will prove hazardous to your health in a helicoper. The
Army helicopters I flew were amazingly agile. They handled quick turns and
steep bank angles quite well.

You are quite right.
It took a pretty good sized passenger in the the factory MKIII to get into
an accelerated stall during demonstrations. That, of course, was in the
clean configuration, no flaps.
During a demo in my mkIII a few years ago at Lakeland, I blanked out the
elevators during a hard pull up with full flaps. Would not do it clean, but
with full flaps, the elevators went away. This caused me to be a lot mor
cautious during steep approaches and landings with full flaps.

John H,
You bring up a good point. The tables I posted assume 1 G flight because the original
question was about turning back with engine out. In a descending turn without
power or attempt to hold altitude it is easy enough to maintain 1 G or
less.
What gets a lot of airplane pilots in trouble is pulling back on the stick during
a power out descending turn in the vain hope that some magic will be performed.
The vast majority of CFIs and the FAA pubs teach that Gs increase in high
banked turns. Of course this is true if you are maintaining altitude. In a power
out situation any attempt to maintain altitude in an airplane will eventually
result in exceeding the critical angle of attack and a stall. The trick to
quick descending power out turns in an airplane is maintaining 1 G or less loading.
If this is done you can get turned around pretty quickly at slow speeds.
Load it up with back stick and you are asking for a stall/spin fatality.

Hi gang,
I learned to fly in a J-3 back in 1946, we were taught to go straight
ahead if we had engine failure on take off...later on i had a engine fail on
takeoff in a J-3, I never thought about trying to turn around to the runway which
was a farm field. I went about straight ahead into a pasture and the plane
was ok, I was lucky to have that field there, I had veered slightly to the
right on take off because there was a woods straight ahead, good thing i did.
You need to remember stall speeds go up in turns. I wonder how many on
this list have made a 180 on take off after losing a engine and survived and
if so from what altitude? I also wonder how many have stalled and crashed or
killed themselves trying it? As for me if I lose a engine on my firestar on
take off I will go straight ahead no matter what unless i have 6 to 7 hundred
feet. Hope this info saves someone's life....

Without checking the numbers, it looks right. However, I question the
assumption of a constant 600fpm descent rate. In a steep turn, the descent
rate will increase quite a bit.
Of course, there's also reaction time, and time to push the nose down, roll
into the turn, roll back out, and flare, which all must be factored into
the real world scenario.

Stall speed vs bank angle is widely misunderstood. Many CFIs regurgitate what they've
been taught and what they've read in FAA publications without fully understanding
it. What most have been taught is that "Stall speed increases with
increased bank angle." What they are not taught, but is true nonetheless, is that
this statement is true ONLY if there is an increase in G loading, which is
the case if you are trying to maintain altitude and airspeed. If you maintain
1 G loading when banking steeply(by descending at the proper rate), the stall
speed does not increase. The only way to maintain 1 G load while banking steeply
and turning is by descending while turning.
The "Stall speed increases with increased bank angle." adage probably came about
as an over simplification because it is easier to teach and is a good idea as
a point of safety when teaching new students. Unfortunately, that is as far
as most pilots, CFIs included, ever dig into the physics.
If you are comfortable with experimenting, consider sometime climbing to an altitude
of at least 2,500' AGL, do clearing turns then reduce the power to idle,
put the nose down and hold your normal approach speed. and start banking to
your favorite side, BEING SURE TO HOLD YOUR NORMAL APPROACH SPEED THROUGHOUT this
maneuver, continue increasing the bank angle until your maximum comfort level
and notice how quickly you are turning. You should also notice three other
things. 1) You are NOT experiencing higher than 1 G loading, like you would at
high bank angles with power and maintaining altitude. 2) You are not stalling.
3) Your descent rate and turning rate increase as you increase the bank angle
while holding a constant airspeed.
While descending, gently roll to wings level attitude with coordinating rudder
maintaining your normal approach speed (do this without increasing G load). Complete
this maneuver by no lower than 1,500' AGL because that is the minimum legal
altitude for maneuvering flight.
The most important thing to get from this is that the increased G loading from
maintaining airspeed AND ALTITUDE while increasing bank angle is responsible for
the increased stall speed. Maintain 1 G load at your normal approach speed
by descending and you can bank quite steeply without increasing the stall speed.
If you start to pull back on the stick while you are steeply banked you will
be increasing the G loading which WILL result in a higher stall speed.
PLEASE NOTE: I am NOT recommending you do this anywhere near the ground or in a
real engine out event. I'm merely trying to clear up a common misunderstanding
about the relationship between bank angle and increasing stall speed.
I fully expect to get an argument so go ahead and flame away.

I believe we went through this not too long ago. Tom Kuffle was part of
that discussion, IIRC.
I've learned through the years I can get away with a lot of stuff in a Kolb
if I keep my airspeed above stall speed. It is a terrific little airplane.
Don't think I would try and fly some of the other light aircraft like I do
my Kolbs.

I think the main reason the turn back is not encouraged is "human error"
It is a lot harder to get in trouble (stall/spin) if you keep gliding straight.
In the stress of turning back to soon or low there is a very high probability that
a pilot will attempt to stretch the glide by adding back pressure and thus
entering a stall/ spin.
If something doesn't feel quite right apply forward stick!

You are correct; stall speed increases with bank angle in a level
coordinated turn. BUT... If you maintain 1g in a coordinated banked turn,
then the aircraft must accelerate downwards at an acceleration
corresponding to the 1 minus the cosine of the bank angle times 1G. In the
case of the 60 banked turn, you either pull 2g's or you pull 1g and
accelerate down at 1/2g... so your vertical speed increases by 16 fps (960
fpm) every second. So, to using an airspeed of 50 mph and 60 bank,
according to the chart you posted earlier it takes 6 seconds... but at the
end of those 6 seconds your rate of descent has increased to 5760 fpm and
you've lost an additional 288' of altitude.

Apparently, this 180 turn is a matter of interest to many with differing opinions.
Certainly, most of what has been written here is true and is appreciated.
Many of us pilots fly differently and were taught in a variety of ways. I believe
the important point of all of this discussion is for the individual pilot
to know his limits and fly within them. Learning to do an efficient and safe
180 degree turn is worth the time, effort and gas, in my opinion. The most
efficient procedure may seem radical, but can be done safely if it is practiced
at altitude on a regular basis. Amelia Reid taught me the science of the turn
(some on line may have heard of her.....she was a very good instructor).
Back to the point. A pilot who practices and knows his ability should base his
decisions on what he can do and not what some say is possible. In a Cessna 150
my first tries resulted in altitude losses of up to 600 ft. I lost an engine
at 35 feet in a Kasperwing and had to do a 180 to
a!
void obstacles. My effort was about 10 degrees short and bent a nose wheel. Thank
goodness the Kasper is a slow flying airplane.

Thanks for that, Grant. Very good article.
I think there is a good case to be made that all pilots should start their
training in gliders. By the time they have gone solo they will have done
more take offs and landings and experienced more engine failures (cable
breaks) than the average power pilot will experience in his first 5 years
flying.

Pat,
I believe this is good advice. It helps to overcome the tendency to hold
back on the stick to extend a flight. I remember when I was solo and
realized what I thought at the time was too low and too far away to make it
back to the airport. I had to force my self to let the stick go forward so
that I could increase ground speed. I made it with altitude to spare, and
after that, I never had one time I never had any problems with letting the
stick go forward.
Simulated rope breaks were great, and one learned to drop the nose and kick
it around in a hurry. One advantage in a glider is that you did not have to
worry about the airspeed indicator, as you could gage air speed from the
wind noise.
With the FireFly, I have had only one 180 back to the landing strip. The
447 iced up on takeoff. At about 250 feet the engine started to droop and I
kicked it around and luckily made a down wind landing is spite of turning
down wind. The second engine droop came here in Indiana on a very hot day.
Even though I was at a much higher altitude, I did not elect to return to
the airport as the VSI indicated I was in an area of high sink. Instead, I
headed for a corn stalk field and landed cross wind in with the rows close
to a house and road.
These procedures can be practiced at altitude, so that you can experience
the sudden deceleration and discover the importance of pilot reaction time.
Also one can get comfortable with making a tight bank at fairly low speed
with the nose seemingly pointed at the ground and the gentle leveling of the
wings and pull up. Also, one should practice during cold and warm weather to
experience the different handling characteristics.
As someone else has said, it is all about good energy management.
Fly Safe!

Last year,
I had a similar situation where a rats or a few got under the hood of my truck
and cut a few wires to the computer shorting it out. They had a massive amount
of figs piles high on my intake cover. The truck was running a 6 cylinders barely
and the ABS system failed.
I had to have the ABS and computer replace at a cost of $1200.
Shortly after this they got back in a cut my alternator wire twice. 1st time I
had to be pulled 16 miles to a shop to have a new wire made since it was cut right
at the connector.
2nd time i made it back home and the truck died in the yard. Wire was easy to fix
this time.
This year I killed 9 mice in my attic. I have no Idea how they got there.
The cheap victor snap traps with peanut butter on them will kill them 99% of the
time.
Moth balls don't work that well. They still get in my landlords vehicle despite
him putting mothballs around the truck. He has to leave the hood open with mothballs
on the engine to keep them out.
If you don't have pets, Timick (spelling?) a granular pesticide used by farmers
will kill the rats almost instantly. It is however very toxic and potent in
smell.
I keep my Kolb in a 8.5X 24 foot Haulmark car hauler. No rats can get it it!
You can alway install a cat in your hangar. They are pretty efficient rat killers
if you don't over feed them.

Hi all. I got the mouse nest out of my tube, cleaned up the corrosion, finished
my annual inspection and re-mounted my Rotax after Gerry Olenik from Green Sky
Adventures did some maintenance on it for me. I have seen several brag on
him so I will also brag. He did a great job, was very knowledgeable and helpful.
With the help of a friend we determined that my choke has not been closing all
the way. If I manually move the cable back where it splits into the two cables
it'll close and run fine. My friend suggested doing away with the choke and
just using a priming system. I've gotten used to the choke and am thinking perhaps
I could just replace the cables.
P.S. Gave my dad a quick ride around the pattern and he LOVED it of course. What
fun!

Don't know. I probably should have dumped the whole bottle of valerian
capsules in the boom tube, sprinkled several boxes of moth balls around the
tailwheel, main wheels, and some inside.
Not a good feeling to open the door and see your airplane chewed up.
Especially the second time around. ;-(
I put out two big sticky pads for rats, some Decon rat poison, and a box of
moth balls in front of and below the boom tube inside the cockpit. Hope it
works before I have my seat belts and shoulder harnesses replaced.

FWIW - rats & mice W ILL get 'in' anywhere, no matter what you put up

work, but get the biggest one you can. It would be fairly easy to
make one self-resetting; there was one like that a long time ago.

Peanut butter is a good bait. But if you use a Havahart trap with a

I had a boa constrictor as a pet for years, NO mice/rats in the

Good luck.

Ok, here's my solution... worked EVERY time.... Got a large
bucket... really large, and tall... made of plastic so the sides were
slippery... Bucket has to be big enough and deep enough for about at
least 8 inches of water, 8 inches between the water and the rim, and
slippery enough so a mouse/rat can't climb out.
I stuck a chair next to the bucket, filled the bucket half way with
water, put a 2x4 that went out over the bucket and then put a weight
on the 2x4 so it became, essentially a steady diving board.
Then I took a 6" x 6" piece of plywood, put it on the water, then put
on it a couple of bits of dry dog food... the really smelly kind.
The mice/rats would climb out on the diving board, drop down to the
plywood to get the dog food, the plywood would immediately tump over,
and the mouse/rat would swim to exhaustion and drown. Obviously,
making sure the mouse/rat can't climb back out is critical, as is
making sure the water level/plywood is far enough away so they -have-
to drop down to to get it.
Worked flawlessly, every time. I once got rid of a whole family that
way, one each day.

Subject: | trying a new prop |
Kolbers,
I got a new prop delivered today from Valley Engineering. I hope to
put it on Saturday and if the weather is cooperative I plan to fly.
In my last post I mentioned my plane handled "superb". I need to re-
qualify that remark...it still has marginal climb out performance with
my new Generac engine. It's about half what my old 503 had, at best
about 400 fpm, but probably the average is more like 300. I'd call
that marginal at best. I currently have an IVO 72" 3 blade, set so I
get about 3700 rpm on take-off WOT. Once I'm up to cruise altitude, it
does handle and perform the same as it always did, with the exception
of the climb rate.
The new prop is a 78" 2 blade Culver Prop, pitched at 41. I'll still
have a good 2 1/4" from the tip to the boom tube. I'm going to also
change the spacer from a 3" to a 1 3/4" spacer, since the new prop is
2 1/4" thick at the hub and the IVO is only 1" thick. That should be a
better set up for maintaining prop balance since the prop will be
closer to the engine, and will still keep the prop tips 3 3/4" from my
aileron tubes. The larger spacer was used to allow for the clearance
required between the prop and the aileron tubes for the IVO, which has
a lot of flex. I have a prop thrust tester I can use, and I plan to
check the IVO on a static run up, record the thrust, then change out
to the new prop and see what it produces on a static run up.
I have a question to throw out there for review. If one prop produces
more static run up thrust than another, regardless of whether it is a
2 or 3 blade prop, would it not therefore be a better all around
performing prop in both climb and cruise? If the new prop, which is
not ground-adjustable like the IVO is, allows the engine to reach 3700
RPM on a static run up test, which is where the max HP and torque
values meet on the Generac engine, and if it produces more thrust at
that RPM level, it seems to me it would out-perform the IVO in both
climb out and cruise.
I know no one here know much about the engine I'm using, but wouldn't
these facts hold true for any engine/prop combination?
Thanks for any input,
Jimmy Young

No, it might, but it's just as likely to be worse. A prop has to be
optimized for a particular airspeed, which is why we have "climb" props
which are less efficient at cruise speed, and "cruise" props which don't
climb as well but are more efficient during cruise. Or it could be a
compromise. A prop that's optimized for static thrust would have lousy
cruise (and even climb) performance. Taken to the extreme, consider a
helicopter rotor... it's optimized for static thrust but would make poor
(if any) thrust if used as a prop at 60 mph.

Hi Jimmy,
Oh I think you are going to open up a can of worms here.
Static thrust is only a partial measure of how a prop may perform. Another
part is velocity of the same air. Basically you could have a huge amount of
thrust by swinging a twelve foot diameter prop that the engine is properly
geared for but, you would have such low velocity that a plane would never
gain enough speed to get off the ground.
It is finding the proper balance between engine speed, thrust and velocity
that has to overcome the weight and drag of the airframe to make a good
flying plane.
Basically, I think that your performance issue is a lack of horsepower. It
takes power to lift anything into the air rapidly. Once the plane has
reached a steady cruise, power is typically reduce for economy and
conservation of engine life.
You might have to re-pitch the prop so that on the ground you might be below
peak rpm/torque but, once the engine unloads in the air, the peak torque is
reached. Usually though most people pitch their props for maximum horsepower
and that is usually at a higher rpm than peak torque.
Oh there are so many trade-offs! Basically you are going to have to find
whats best for your application by good ol' trial and error. Two blades are
more efficient than three. One blade is best but, has its own practical
problems of balance issues to say the least. Good luck with the plane and
please be careful.

Hi Cristal,
I removed the choke on my 503 a few years ago and have been using just the primer,
without any difficulty. However, I did read somewhere that you can troubleshoot
your engine via the choke (don't remember the details) so am not sure if
I did the wisest thing - although, as I said, it's been fine for several years

Jimmy,
For the problems you've discussed, these are the reasons why I opted for the
in-flight adjustable, electric motor option, for my Ivo Prop.
I expect it should give the best of both worlds. At static thrust I can decrease
pitch
substantially, allowing the engine to acheive a higher RPM (into the power band).
Once I'm cruising along, I can crank in quite a bit of pitch, for better dynamic
thrust.
Although I haven't flown with this combination, yet. I have had it operational
a few
years ago. It was quite impressive to me. The pitch change is quite subtantial,
and takes
maybe 7-10 seconds to go from a flat pitch to really steep.
Although this combination may not be for everyone, it seems like a good way to
go for me.

I have farmed and ranched for 28 years and dealt with a lot of troublesome small
gas engines. I have kept a lot of those engines running (momentarily) using
the choke, at least, I can determine if the problem is fuel starvation.... If
my 503 ever starts coughing and running rough during flight, one option would
be is to choke the engine slightly. It might work and get you to a safe landing
spot. You can also diagnose fuel mixture problems with it....You may be able
to do the same thing with the primer but I havnt tried it.....Just my thoughts
on the matter.

Hi all,
I am at the very beginning of my experience of flying a Kolb Ultrastar. I
only have spend two hour of running the runway (grass) in little cross wind,
and i have two take off and hopefully two landing too :)
I am reading Jack Firefly WebSite , very interesting:
http://www.thirdshift.com/jack/firefly/howtofly.html
And Jack says:
"I always take off with the *stick centered and full back*."
I did not that. I gradually put full throtle and put the stick forward
(surely glider pilot habit), rapidly the tail go up and I control it moving
the stick a little back (still up), maintain the axe with the foot and
ailerons. The plane accelerate and take off, accelerate again in the air -I
kepp the runway axe- and gently pull back to climb at the good speed.
It is not concrete runway, it is gentle grass.
How do you do, with your Kolb? Am I wrong somewhere?

This sounds like a good test. Of the composite props on the market the IVO
has the least thrust. That two bladed wood prop should give you alot more
thrust.
Horse power is always important but it is thrust that moves you. A long two
bladed prop turns more HP into thrust. The problem is that there are
compromises. As you get closer to the limit of how big a prop your engine
can handle the smaller speed range your prop work in.
If you configure your prop for best static thrust at max RPM you might over
RPM your engine or limit your cruise speed. The 41 pitch on your prop might
be just right but only testing will tell. I recently cut my prop from a 72
inch to 71 inches to get a wider speed range which it did but it also
increased the HP necessary to maintain the same cruise.
Let us know how it works.

Hi Jean:
I don't think you are wrong.
I take off in all models of Kolbs, normally like this:
1-Full Throttle
2-Neutral Stick - No pressure on the stick to keep the tail down or force t
he tail up. It will come up by itself when ready.
3-When the tail starts coming up, input control pressure to keep it level.
4-When it is ready to fly, a little aft stick pressure and you are flying.
All this takes place in a matter of a few seconds time.
This would be an ordinary takeoff on good surfaces.

How do you do, with your Kolb? Am I wrong somewhere?

Er, you are kidding, right? ;).
Technically, our bings have enrichener circuits instead of the chokes of yore that
just had a butterfly that closed off the venturi.
I have to admit to not having had much trouble with the enricheners on the 2-stroke
bings. The original builder of my FSII used them and after I bought the plane
I never saw the need to eliminate it in favor of a primer. That engine had
the clutch, tho, so it was a lot easier to start anyway...
My 912uls fires up fairly quickly with the enricheners unless it's really cold.
The system works pretty good...

Hi Cristal,
I think i would fix the enrichener's what you called the choke. On my
firestar with the 503 i disabled the enrichener's and use a primer and it starts
and works fine. But some of the primers including the one I am using is of
poor construction and not up to general aviation standards, I had to replace my
primer as the old one was leaking a that meant to me it could be causing a
air leak which you do not want in the suction line on your gas line. So if I
was to do it again I would use the enrichener's (choke) and not the primer for
that reason and because engine temps are so critical on a 2 cly in case of
high temps one could use the enricher to lower the temps until the problem was
cured. So i would rebuild the enrichener's and make sure they were closing
correctly. just my 2 cents worth... jim SWAN

In cold weather the 503 required 4 hard pulls to light off with enrichener only.With
1 full shot of prime and enrichener,it fired and stayed running on the
first pull.Even in mild weather that was the case.On the Firestar,the primer was
located on the fuel pump mounting angle below the pump,which required only
a few inches of primer line but was obviously out of reach from the cockpit,but
the enrichener was right where it was in the plans, above and slightly behind
your left shoulder.There are some good reasons to keep all your options open
in my opinion.

I do pretty much as John says, but I use a touch of forward stick to lift

Lucien:
Yes, they call them chokes because that is what they do.
Enricheners work on the same principle as the primer. There is an enricher
well and enricher jet located in the float bowl. Important to insure the
throttle is on the idle stop. Enricher full open. When the engine turns
over, it sucks in the charge of fuel stored in the enricher well. From
there on the engine is running off the enricher circuit through the enricher
jet.
If operated correctly, the enricher system on Bing carbs works well for two
and four stroke Rotax engines. I have operated the 912 series engines in
the Arctic at temps well below freezing with success. It also takes a hot
battery to turn the engine over to start.
Big problem with the two stroke Bings is the plunger style system they use
to control the enricher. After they get some age on them, they will leak,
causing an over rich condition without the operator realizing it. It is an
easy fix to remove and replace with new parts to correct the problem.
I prefer the enricher over primer. Primers introduce more plumbing,
carrying fuel, especially in the area of the cockpit.
Take care,

A bit of trivia on the enrichener for parties..... If you need to replace a float
bowl, be sure to order the jet as well or save the old jet from the old bowl.
Just ordering the bowl and you get the bowl with no jet in it.
The enrichener circuit works WAY too well without the jet. You can probably guess
why I know this but I'm not going to admit anything anyway......
In any case, I've used both the primer system and the stock enrichener systems
for many years and both are very trouble free and work very well.
The only concern I've ever had with the primer is a leaking primer plunger. This
can result in extra gas getting into the carburettors just like when the rubber
stoppers fail on the 2-stroke carbs.
Which I use simply depends on which is easier to deal with on that particular plane.
On the 912 the enricheners are the only choice, I believe. Mine work perfectly
so far even in temps as low as 10F.......

John,
If that doesn't do it, try getting some corn kernels, like they feed
deer. Take a 1/16 th inch drill bit and drill through about six kernels and
wire them together on the rat trap trigger. It is hard for them to get it off
without tripping the trap. Another option is to get some bird seed that has
sunflower seed in it. Put a small amount into a piece of plastic window
screen, making it into a little ball and wiring it onto the trap trigger. Another
choice is to wire a peanut in its shell ,to the trigger If necessary you
can modify the trigger to where it will trip easier. I have had rats lick all
the Peanut butter off and not get caught!

Dana:
The primary reason for starting the engine with the throttle closed is to
have maximum suction to pull the initial charge out of the enrichener well.
If the throttle is opened above idle, on start up, it doesn't do a good job
of scavenging the fuel out of the well.
At cruise rpm, if the enrichener is opened, there is more than enough
suction to pull the charge out of the well, then run richer from the extra
fuel being drawn from the enrichener jet.

I may be misunderstanding what John H was saying but my 912 ul 80 hp does
not have enrichers in the carbs. They have full butterly chokes in them. I
know for sure because I looked in there. Butterfly type is way better than
the rubber based enricher valve. I used my enricher valve to save my butt
once. I had icing (I believe it was) and pulled the enricher lever and it
coffed and stumbled and lit it back up. It actually blew the ice off the
jet and away I went. Really sounded bad from the ground according to my
friend down there but I told him it sounded worse when a plane hits the
ground. I have had a recent chance to find out if the plunger style gas
unit works the same in an emergency on a challenger -- it does not keep the
engine running!!!!! Did a really great two point landing. Had to take the
nose wheel out to stop in time but thanks to the fragil nose wheel of a
challenger, it folded just as I thought it would and I stopped in plenty of
time. Limited damage. My Kolb would have stopped in plenty of time. Ted

Ted:
Check to see if your choke butterfly vavles are connected to your throttle cables.
The Bings on the 912 series engines use a rotary valve system for enrichener, rather
than the plunger valve used by the two stroke Rotax. There are a couple
o ring seals in them that need to be checked periodically. They could possibly
leak if they go bad.

Grant R,
I have about 140 VG's on my MK III Xtra, from the Center of the wing all the way

improved immensely. I have a video posted of stalls, and flow flight with VG's
on my Kolb, You can see it at:

To see how the VG's help keep the Kolb from landing firmly at low landing speeds
watch this video:

I use VG's from www.landshorter.com. Making your own VG's will probably help, but they are CRITICAL. If you don't make them the right dimensions they wont work as well as they should. Its important to place the VG's in the EXACT place on the wing to be effective, and the PRECISE angle of the VG's in relation to the airstream is even more important if you want to get the full benefits of VG's.
Just imagine building a wing using the " That looks about right " method, and then
putting the wing of by guessing where it should be, and then wondering why
your plane does not fly well ??? Some people have done this with VG's, and
then reported to the list they are not very effective.... Hmmm, I wonder why

Most all Kolbs, without VGs, I have flown, fly much better than any Cessna I
have flown, which is limited to a couple of old tired 152's, it took to get
my Private Ticket in 1990.
In fact, based on my limited experience, Cessnas have a rather sharp stall
compared to the Kolbs' mushie stall characteristics.
Cessnas also lose much more altitude than Kolbs in a spin, and much quicker.
Never spun a Kolb with VGs, and have a couple flights in one FSII equipped
with VGs.
I am neither pro or con VG. However, if I start wearing a flight helmet, I
will mimic Brother Beauford's helmet, complete with appropriate VGs. I may
even go a step further and put them on top and bottom.

If you put VG's on only part of the wing, you only get part of the benefit. Being
that you guessed where your VG's should go, and that you guessed on the design
of your VG's, its no wonder you ended up with some bad characteristics and
scared yourself. If you put anything on the wrong part of a wing, including
VG's, they can go from being a benefit to being dangerous very quickly. I
would not want to be the test pilot on an airplane with poorly place VG's [Shocked]
Here is a video of some guys that put VG's on their airplane the right way, using
precise measurements to get them in the correct place on the wing, and getting
the exact angles of the VG's to the airstream using templates. These guys
also did a lot of work so the rest of us can see the effect VG's have on the
airflow on the wing.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQO7SoULc3U&feature=related
The research has already been done over many years. I prefer to use the design
and placement that a lot of aeronautical engineers have developed over the years
than try to guess on VG placement.

Looks like we are getting a lot of VG manufacturers out there all over the
world.
Do you believe each one of these VG manufacturers has done the research and
testing to provide precise guidance on where to place their VGs on your
Kolb's wings?

Well, as long as the _first_ manufacturer did the R&D... everybody else is
probably just copying them...

Dana:
Do you think any of those vg manufacturers ever went so far as do testing on
a Kolb wing?
How do we know what precise is, when placing those little buggers on our
wings and under our tails?
I bet if you get right down to the real nitty gritty, you will discover
there is very, very little serious flight or simulated flight testing on any
UL or experiemental homebuilt.

I doubt that any manufacturer did testing on the Kolb wing, but they have on many
other wings. For the type of airplanes we fly, and the speeds we fly at, VG
placement on wings is pretty much universal. In the video below, you see these
guys carefully placing VG's right where they should be, at about 10 % of the
chord of the wing behind the leading edge, and equally spaced at about 1 %
the span of the wing. On my Kolb, I placed my VG's at slightly less than 1 %
of the span because it is desirable to put each pair of VG's in the rib valleys,
all VG's evenly spaced, 2.5 inches spacing between all VG's on my Kolb. Even
more important than the spacing is that VG's be EXACTLY 15 degrees "Nose In
" to the relative wind, that is where they create the most efficient "tornado"
above the wing without adding excessive drag. It is necessary to use a template
to get the correct angle on VG's. The video shows how its done :)

Hi Jean,
I have not flown a Firefly but to take off `stick fully back ` is
dangerous in any plane
I dont know who Jack is but I am surprised that he is alive.
If you take off as he suggests you will get airborne as soon as you hit
flying speed. THAT IS NOT FAST ENOUGH. A slight drop in the wind or
power from your engine and you will stall., just off the ground and you
will at best bump heavily or at worst you will crash. You will also be
stuck in ground effect until you build up some speed.
It CAN be done that way but only when you have some experience.
I never look at the ASI on takeoff. You do not fly small aircraft by the
numbers with a co pilot calling V1, V2. Advance the throttle smoothly
with the stick forward, the tail will come up in a few yards and you can
ease off on the stick to balance the plane on its wheels. Smoothly push
the throttle to full power. The plane will tell you when she wants to
fly. Hold it like that for a couple of seconds as the speed builds and
then ease the stick back and you will climb away with no trouble.
You have gliding experience you will know that you do not pull into a
steep climb until you have some height. Cables break and engines pack
up.
Good luck

as an experienced Pilot he let his firefly accelerate before beginning to

Gene Z:
Good point.
True in my case.
Was and still is a big learning curve flying these little airplanes.
Up until 1990, I flew the single place Kolbs. Never had any professional
instruction. Never had a check ride. Never had another pilot ride along to
see if what I was doing was right or wrong.
In the Army it was a constant series of check rides and standardization. I
enjoy the freedom of my sport, but it can lead to some serious problems if I
let it. Sometimes I don't know if I am letting it or not.
This morning I am going to the airstrip to see if I caught anything. Put
out two big rat traps with peanut butter. Used safety wire to secure them
in place, in case I get a really big one that wants to walk off with my
traps.
I notices yesterday the four trays of Decon were cleaned out. I put them
out and did not have a chance to check them for 48 hours.
The glue traps had caught some pretty big grass hoppers, but that's all.
Brother Jim has volunteered to sew me up some more seat belts and shoulder
harnesses.
I discovered the DRE 6000 ANR headsets are coming back. Aircraft Spruce has
them for 359.00. Wiring in my old set got chewed up, plus they are getting
on in age and hours. I ordered some new ones last night, but they were back
ordered. I like the DRE6000 because I can plug them into the aircraft 12VDC
system and not have to worry about batteries, just rats. ;-)
Was 24F this morning. Must have been the nearness of the full moon last
night.

4. see if those flappy things are working on the wings.
5. advance the throttle fully, the mighty geo wheezes to full power

Ted, I'm going to assume you have the stock Bing 64's on your 912 and you
haven't hung a Holley double pumper on it.That butterfly you saw when you
looked in the carb throat is NOT a choke, it's the throttle. In the 64 this
sets the vacuum level in the carb which pulls the piston up and sets the
mixture. Unlike the two stroke Bings, the throttle cable is NOT connected to
the piston. In the 64 the piston is suspended from a diaphragm inside that
big cover on top of the carb.
What may be confusing you is that the linkage on the throttle cable should
be set up so that the throttle butterfly goes full open should the cable
fail. The throttle cable pulls the butterfly closed, not open.
NOTE: this could be changed as the 64's on my HKS do not have this linkage
setup. On the HKS the throttle is closed by the spring, just like it would
be on a BMW motorcycle, but a 912 should have the aviation linkage that
fails open.

.......................
Pat,
I am the "Jack" and I referred Jean to my how to transition to a FireFly page.
http://www.thirdshift.com/jack/firefly/howtofly.html
I have copied out My Standard Take-Off
"I always take off with the stick centered and full back. This approach has
several advantages. In cross winds it keeps the FireFly stuck to the runway
until lift-off and it makes it easier to keep the FireFly straight down the
runway. It lets you get off soft tall grass fields with out a nose over, and
it can get you off the ground as quickly as possible. A nose over experience
on a soft tall grass runway and water in tall grass experience brought about
always using the stick back against the stop.
The throttle is teased forward until the FireFly is bouncing. Throttle
teasing reduces the effect of P-factor and helps you to keep up with rudder.
Each time the FireFly bounces the throttle is jigged open a little more
lengthening the next bounce until the FireFly flies off into ground effect.
During the bouncing phase and if the tail comes up on its own when taking
off from grass, you are on your way to a nose over. Jig the throttle back to
get the tail to come back down or abort and try again. If there is a cross
wind, one lowers the up wind wing and adds rudder to keep the FireFly
straight with the runway. As the FireFly rises up in ground effect, back
stick pressure is released and the throttle is advanced more aggressively.
When the indicated airspeed reaches 55 mph and the FireFly continues to
accelerate, the stick is slowly pulled back to maintain 55 mphi. If at any
time during the climb out the engine rpm droops or you think it is drooping,
push the stick forward to maintain or increase indicated air speed."
.........................
At the time I wrote the avove, the FireFly was powered by a Rotax 447, and
riding on the original 4 inch Azusa wheels. By chocking the wheels, I found
that the tail wheel would leave the ground at 4,000 rpm with the stick in
the full back position. At 4,300 rpm the FireFly was over balanced on the
main gear and would have fallen on its nose if I had not looped a safety
rope over the tail wheel spring. I added a gap seal between the horizontal
stabilizer and elevator, but found no improvement.
After mounting the Victor 1+ and VG's on the bottom of the horizontal
stabilizer and lowering the thrust line there is less of a nose over problem
upon throttle opening. I have not repeated the wheel chocked test. I have
added it to my things to do list.
My first concern to be able to safely nurse the FireFly off wet, soft, tall
grass strips with out a nose over. And so I continuously practice. Now
that I have infinite choice of flaperon settings, I usually set the
flaperons at five degrees down. The reason to tease the throttle is to
ensure that the FireFly can only lift in to ground effect. At this point,
stick pressure is released and the ground effect flight is stabilized and
then the throttle is advanced and climb out initiated. With this procedure,
if things are not going well, all one has to do is back off the throttle and
ease the FireFly down few feet.
The field that am flying out of has only one runway, and it is very rare
that the wind matches the runway direction. If the wind is not gusting over
20 mph, I like to fly. This makes for interesting cross wind takeoff and
landing with hangars and tall trees within less that 100 yards of the runway.
The advantage of using ground effect is that it moderates the cross wind
effect. If one wing gets low, ground effect pressure helps to push it back
up. Upon advance of the throttle, the FireFly accelerates rapidly in ground
effect to a speed that gives very good control surface response. From this
point one can initiate climb out with out having to worry about PF, heading,
or stall.
I find that I do better with above approach, in that it reduces the pilot
load and minimizes multi tasking. It allows one to leave the ground at very
low speed with virtually no pf effect. Next, slow speed flight is
stabilized relative to the runway which is similar a glider at the beginning
of an aircraft tow. This is followed by power addition to bring the ias up
to best rate of climb speed. Then climb out is initiated up through the
unstable air with very effective controls.
It works for me.

Er, I don't understand how this is dangerous - this is just standard soft-field
takeoff technique, at least according to my training.
I did this literally all the time in my FSII when I felt like doing a soft-field
takeoff (unfortunately I never flew it off grass, but soft-fields were fun anyway):
- Stick full back
- slowly advance throttle
- keep tailwheel glued to the ground
- lift off in ground effect
- release back pressure as needed to remain in ground effect
- when safe flying speed is acheived go fly.
Works in all the other planes I've flown as well including my titan....
A standard takeoff in my FSII tho was the way John described, with neutral stick
instead letting the tail come up...
PS: I'm thinking now about building a firefly, so I may be back in the Kolb saddle
again after a while.

Hi Pat,
We're talking about a Kolb here, specifically a Firefly. I fly a Kolb
FireStar, which is pretty much the same model, but with slightly more wing area.
I always take off with the stick fully back, because otherwise you risk
pushing the nose over onto the ground. I add throttle slowly at first, but as
soon as it is moving, I go to full power. It accelerates very quickly and I'm
off the ground in a matter of seconds. Then I relieve the back pressure just
enough to maintain a normal climb. I don't know about other Kolb models,
but the Firefly and FireStar accelerate so quickly that ground effect is almost
meaningless, they practically jump off the ground and climb like a bat out
of &%#$@.

Richard,
I got the new prop on today, but it was just too windy to fly. I did a
static run up test with a thrust gauge, and was getting 255 lbs. with
the new Culver prop. With the IVO, it was making 195 lbs. The with the
new prop, the engine RPM would top out at 3300 rpm. But, with the IVO,
the engine would hit 3600 rpm on a static thrust test. Since I didn't
get to fly, I have nothing to compare yet regarding performance.
I am at a new airport now, and it's a good airport to test stuff at
because it has 2800 ft. of grass runway. The first good calm evening
this week I hope to take the plane up and see what the improvements are,
if any. At least the new prop is producing more thrust and I hope that
translates into better climb performance. I'm leary of any speculation
on my part just because of the improved thrust #'s. I guess it is better
than finding out it has less thrust than the IVO though. I'll post the
results after I go fly it.

Hi,
I managed to get every thing squared away today and fired up the HKS.
I pumped up the oil pressure yesterday by removing sparkplugs and
cranking it until the pressure came up. Then I tried to start it and
found that my battery would not turn it over. I brought up the quad and
used jumper cables and that wasn't enough either. I spent the evening
trying to figure what was up. This morning I called Jerry Olenik to see
what he could tell me.
I put the prop on it and brought up the truck and hooked it to that,
and it fired, but was running crappy and backfiring. Called Jerry again
and we went through the electrical hook up. I went back and ran a ground
wire from the battery to the starter housing to make sure that it had a
good ground. (apparently extremely important) I had run a ground wire
from the starter housing to the ground block. Then he assured me that
not being able to turn the prop over by hand was normal. (takes two and
the power required is extreme) After that I got it running, actually
starts pretty easy if you have the proper power to turn it over. Then it
was backfiring. Another call to Jerry, found that I had hooked up the
spark plug wires wrong. The wires in each module goes to different
cylinders. DUH! (the only problem with the way the way I had it hooked
up is that when you turn off one mag the other cylinder didn't have any
power to it) Then I found that I wasn't showing oil pressure. Another
call to Jerry, he suggested things to look at. I asked how tight the
plastic fittings on the oil hoses could be tightened. Turns out they are
painted alum and I didn't have them tight enough. Another DUH! That
solved my pressure problem, but it was still running rough and
backfiring. Jerry suggested that it might be denotation due to me using
89 octane. Off Karen and I went to Jordan Valley to buy premium, over
icy roads. She is getting to be one of those old ladies like on the
commercial "You are driving like a bat out of Hell"! :-) When we got
back I fired it up again, no back firing, runs pretty smooth. The best
is that it is half the noise of a 503. I plan to submit to Jerry a HKS
for dummies type book, since I am quite sure that I made every possible
mistake (misteak) that was possible.

We're talking about a Kolb here, specifically a Firefly. >>
Hi Bill,
I wouldn`t like to try it on any plane but if it works and keeps on
working safely I guess thats good enough.
I fly the Extra and have her up to full throttle more or less as soon as
the tail rises. Never had a problem with the high thrust line except
when I dropped a wheel in a rut while taxying and stood her on her nose
and wiped the pitot off.
The Challenger was the same. Obviously not on the ground because of the
nosewheel but if you went to full power on a go-round it was something
to watch for. No great trouble, just be aware.
Still don`t like the idea of being nose high at marginal flying speed
though.
How does JH do it? Comments John?

Subject: | Re: Kolb Ultrastar: How to take-off |
Remember, an UltraStar is unique among Kolbs because of the high tailboom,
low engine arrangement. The tailwheel has to be about 3- 4 feet off the
ground to level the wings for flight configuration.
To takeoff, open the throttle with all controls centered. Adjust for P
factor and crosswind as needed to keep the machine going straight as speed
builds. When you feel the tail get responsive, a slight forward push on the
stick will raise the tail to flight position. Center stick again to build
speed for takeoff. When you achieve that speed, slight back on the stick and
you
are airborne.
Taking off with the tail still on the ground can be done, but you're
'mushing' along, flirting with a stall.
Landing the UltraStar is sort of opposite takeoff......... meaning, fly
the main wheels onto the ground, and as your speed reduces, let the tail
settle down. I tried 3 point landings, but putting the tail that low while flying
slow results in a stall and a rough and bouncing landing. Only after
putting Vortex Generators on the wings, could I do a 3 point landing.

"I always take off with the *stick centered and full back*."
Hi Jean,
I have not flown a Firefly but to take off `stick fully back ` is dangerous
in any plane
I dont know who Jack is but I am surprised that he is alive.
If you take off as he suggests you will get airborne as soon as you hit
flying speed. THAT IS NOT FAST ENOUGH. A slight drop in the wind or power from
your engine and you will stall., just off the ground and you will at best bump
heavily or at worst you will crash. You will also be stuck in ground
effect until you build up some speed.
It CAN be done that way but only when you have some experience.
I never look at the ASI on takeoff. You do not fly small aircraft by the
numbers with a co pilot calling V1, V2. Advance the throttle smoothly with the
stick forward, the tail will come up in a few yards and you can ease off on
the stick to balance the plane on its wheels. Smoothly push the throttle to
full power. The plane will tell you when she wants to fly. Hold it like that for
a couple of seconds as the speed builds and then ease the stick back and you
will climb away with no trouble.
You have gliding experience you will know that you do not pull into a steep
climb until you have some height. Cables break and engines pack up.
Good luck

Subject: | Kolb high thrust line. |
From: | "poorboy" <hartungj(at)srt.com> |
Gretings fellow flyers.
I have been enjoying the reading of the posts, mostly I sit on the sidelines and
look through the window of the postings.
Reading the topics I am stirred up to comment on one of my fears, that is giving
advice on flying technique and in particular the latest one on take off procedures.
I suppose that my recent poor performance has brought me to the position of relearning
some things, which has been a good thing, and in particular the review
of reading all the postings has been a value.
I recently changed my plane from a Poorboy to an Ultrastar and the takeoff power
is quite different so I got into a bit of a scare several times because my
bad habit of holding the stick back and taking off with lots of thrust available.
A big engine like a 503 with a 70 prop made a lazy pilot out of me and I
frequently violated the rules of common sense because with lots of power you
can transition from not flying speed to flying with a steep takeoff angle and
climb out and hardly realize you are doing it. WWEEEEEEEEE, lots of fun but
potentially dumb! This has the potential of putting me in the position of no
thrust with steep angle of attack (and quickly no airspeed), if this happens
close to the ground (under 100 ft) it may do more than just bang up my planeouch
to me
When I started back flying an Ultrastar (this is my second Ultrastar) I quickly
saw that my tactics were wrong. Now I was flying a 50 propeller with UL202
35hp, in the air this is adequate power and is a good flying plane but is marginal
on a 700ft runway, I dont like being marginal and it scares me. A good
portion of the problem lies in my poor takeoff procedure as holding the stick
back on this plane actually slowed down the takeoff, increased the takeoff roll
and the plane staggered into the air. I needed additional lesson from an instructor
and review to get straightened out. This turned out to be quite nice
flying plane, the engine ran flawlessly but the marginal performance (50 inch
warp drive with adj. Experiments showed it was pitched very close to optimum)
still it left me discontent for this runway has obstructions and I have sold
the airplane and am now building a 1993 Firestar kit that was not finished.
This is my second firestar (1st one 1991 rotax 377) and I had a mark III (1997
rotax 503).
The point of my comment is that I seem to acquire patterns or habits that meet
the experience necessities of the plane I am currently flying and in so doing
my judgment and comments to others becomes skewed, that means I prefer to be
careful when giving advice as I have lost the objectivity of view required for
folks who have an other frame of reference from their last flying experience.
The safe way out of this for me is to recommend them to an instructor; never-the-less
these pages of comments are great and with that in mind allow my summarization
of what I remembered differences in Kolbs.
Ultrastar procedures. 1000 to 1200 ft. runway is adequate (unobstructed preferred),
throttle up, stick forward or neutral to pick up the tail, take off roll
is shortest with the wing angle of attack at close to zero until flying speed
and gentle ease back on stick to lift off in ground effect or close to that
height (ground effect generally one wingspan range of ground height) and let speed
build a bit before entering climb out angle and rate. A great flying airplane,
no handling surprised and it generally just does what you tell it to, very
nice landing approach control. 35hp. UL202 has limited power as compared
to some of the other Kolbs but is well suited to the plane, if a landing go around
is required there is the need to recognize it early and add power soon enough
if obstructions are part of the equation. My take offs are 500ft range
for the best short ones and 700ft isnt long enough if Im doing it wrong. This
is my experience with the two Ultrastars I have had, others may be better
pilots or have other variables of weight and power that give different results.
Firestar and Mark III. My experiences as I remember them were similar with these
models as far as takeoff and landing are the subject, generally they are the
same configuration. I have flown (owned) the short cab Firestar, flown a borrowed
Firestar 2 long cab, and owned the Mark III. I have not flown a Firefly
that has the most in common with the old short cab Firestar, the Firefly has
a 22ft. wing and a flaperon control mixer. I will use the Firestar in general
as a descriptive airplane subject as the high mounted engine configuration
is present in all of these models.
The Firestars need a modified procedure and awareness from many other airplanes,
particular to Firestars is there high thrust line. Tractor airplanes and
pushers with the prop thrust line even or below the line of the wing have much
less of the tendencys that Kolb Firestars suffer from. My opinion is that they
SUFFER from this feature as well as have the benefits of getting the prop
high enough to allow efficient prop length (and the additional benefit of excellent
aircraft fold up ability with the engine and prop out of the way of the
folded wings), this is a reasonable trade off as Kolb sales have demonstrated.
The down side of this high thrust line is substantial and should not be (in good
flying practice) safely ignored.
The 1st issue of high thrust line is adding power at takeoff, with the stick
at neutral a quick throttle to full will put the Firestar on its nose often with
damage, this is not a tendency present in most other aircraft. In order to
compensate for this resultant action I hold the stick full back at early power
addition and early roll for takeoff, but then I need to more neutral the stick
as the tail becomes effective and in control, if the stick is left full back
you encourage early takeoff and hard climb right into early flight, this is
potentially dangerous and unnecessary. A safe and normal takeoff does not include
a risky maneuver like early hard climb, this is special procedure for short
field obstructed takeoff and good pilot judgment will try to avoid that.
It takes a bit of practicing combinations of adding power more slowly and stick
position for reasonable lift off speed and speed addition at low angle of attack
before climb out. I notice that practice is what I need to keep from bobbing
down the runway trying to balance that high thrust line and input stick
control power issues, in actual application I tend to get lazy and just blast
off with the stick too far back and allow the engine to haul my dumb butt up.
The 2nd issue of high thrust line is quick throttle changes in flight will result
in nose up with quick decrease power and nose down tendency when quickly
adding power. The tendency is not serious in normal flight with altitude but
certainly can be an issue during the landing cycle. The first answer here is
not get caught in a situation when large power setting changes are quickly required,
the faster you make those throttle changes the more pronounced the result.
In particular note that on approach if you find out a bit late that you
need to adjust the glide path angle a throttle adjustment will complicate the
issue and without experience (practice) you are in for a surprise. I will stick
my neck out here and say that the most common BAD landing incidents here
is an approach that is judged for correction late in the cycle and a quick power
addition will drive the aircraft right into the ground, this has damaged lots
of Kolbs.
How does that ring with you guys.
Well that was a mouthful anyway, hope it was enjoyable if not viewed as accurate.
Jim

The NASA research on VGs which I read over 30 years ago concluded the best
spanwise spacing occurred when the vortices generated just met at the
training edge of the wing. The vortices spread from each generator at an
included angle of 15 degrees. Thus, the farther forward the generators, the
farther apart they can be and still be fully effective.
Don't remember the details about chordwise location but they ended up at
10% - 15% of local chord.
Whenever I get my FireStar flying I'll use these numbers as a starting point
for my VG experimenting.

Thank you for the heads up on "Chuck", Arty....Although he was just an
acquaintance of mine I always felt that I knew him more than I did as he was so
homey and open in the way he carries himself. Besides, his hawk was the main
contender of the Firestar that I ultimately purchased from Homer, back in "90
as Chuck's business was only a few miles from where I lived in Warren, Ohio.
I will send a card and wish him well.

Kolb people,
I have an expertise question for someone who knows their stuff about applying
Poly Tone paint.
For me, at the present time, it will be difficult to spray my Poly Tone paint.
Too lengthy to go into, but it just would. I CAN spray, but I'd have to do it
outside.
My question is: Is it possible to brush on Poly Tone paint (with a very high
quality brush), and it turn out with very good results.
Is there anyone out there that brushed on their paint, and were pleased with
the results? Or, should I just forget that idea, and plan on spraying it on?

Hi gang,
Here is my 2 cents worth.....I fly a firestar ll 503, but I was taught
to fly in J-3 cub and my instructors had me hold the stick full back when
going to full power, the plane would start rolling forward, then going forward
with the stick until the tail came up, then holding the stick so that the tail
was up in a wheel landing attitude until flying speed, than back on the
stick and climb at speed correct for climb out to altitude. I do the same in
the firestar and it works just fine for me...I sure like the firestar and it
sure has good traits on takeoff and landing...well just my 2 cents worth....a

John H.,
I was curious if it was possible to do a nice paint job with a brush.
Evidently not! I won't do anything but a professional looking job!!
However, my friend Myron, (you met him last spring at Monument Valley)
"TOLD" me he painted his entire plane with a brush Using Poly Tone Paint.
And it looks DAMN nice!!! But, the fact is, I don't think he was entirely
truthful. The airport regulations forbid ANY spraying of paint products.
He may have told me he used a brush, so that I would think he was obeying
the law in his hangar.
My curiosity was if this scenario was possible. I would say "not likely."
I am not in contact with him any longer.
Mike Welch
PS. I bought a car once that was painted with a brush, or a roller. 1961 Falcon.
They used kitchen latex paint. It had about 30 lbs.of Bondo to cover the rust,
spread by hand. It was a junker while I lived in Okinawa for a couple years 1971-1973.
Ran like a champ, tho!!

Hi Lucien,
I would quite agree, but that is a technique to deal with a particular
situation. If it is imperative that you get off the ground as quickly as
possible then you are willing to trade something else, in this case safety.
I once had to put the Challenger down in a small, very rough field when the
teeth came off the drive belt when I was on the approach.Next morning I
changed the belt, pushed the plane back as far as I could into the hedge,
and went for it. I bounced into the air off the first of a series of
hummocks and arrived with a crunch that rattled my fillings on the next one.
I just grazed the third hummock with a heavy jolt and was airborne. I
wouldn`t describe it as flying. I managed to struggle high enough to get
over a 4 foot hedge and settled down again into ground effect as I crossed
the next field building speed to pull up to about 50ft to cross a road.. By
then I was flying properly and I chopped the throttle and landed on my own
strip, quite surprised to find the wings still attached and the undercart
in one piece.
The short take off technique worked but I was very familiar with the
Challenger, knew what to expect, and dealt with the situation accordingly
BUT it was not a technique I would teach a guy with very little experience
as a standard take off procedure. That was the situation with the guy who
sent the post which started this thread.

Hi Jack,
Fair enough but is that a technique you would recommend to an inexperienced
learner? Would you be happy to be told that was the way to do it with only a
few take offs under your belt. Messing about in ground effect just above the
stall is not something most instructors would suggest.
You obviously have had experience of soft field, long grass flying and have
evolved a technique to deal with it which works.
If I ever have to deal with water hidden in long grass on the runway I will
remember the way you do it and be profoundly grateful.
Alternatively I might leave the plane in the hangar.

So far I like the camcorder. It takes very clear video and is fun to use!
The problem I have is what to do with the video when I put it on the computer.
My camcorder records in MPEG-2 format. Windows movie maker, real player, quicktime
and win amp will not play these files or edit them.
Real player will start playing but the picture freezes. The files can be converted
to WMV files but that takes a while an decreases the quality of the video.
I am not looking for any thing real elaborate for editing. I just need to be able
to dub over some background narration or music, Cut out sections of the video.
I believe this is called video trimming. The software that came with the camera
will trim but it saves each trimmed section as an individual video file
and there is no way to merge the file with another video file to make a movie.
Windows movie maker seems to be ok but it does not work with my file type.
Any suggestions? I prefer freeware if it is available.

Grant, when I have nothing better to do and the nordic elements
hereabouts are forbidding I intend to
embark on the same pursuit. I bought a Toshiba player/recorder that
will dub either way.
It will play several formats so I will dub the disc to tape which is
easy to edit, then back to disc.
I haven't tried that routine yet but so far it has done a good job
converting VHS to disc.

Sorry, but I'm just not understanding how proper soft-field takeoff technique is
a compromise in safety.
I was never trained that way and it has never been my experience that correct technique
involved a safety hazard.
If done correctly, there's nothing unsafe about a soft-field takeoff - you take
the same precautions there as you do with any takeoff.
So I'm confused.....

Er, yeah I wouldn't teach a takeoff like that either! No offense, but instead I'd
teach how to dismantle and trailer the plane out of that field rather than
try to actually fly out of it.
An integral part of takeoff training is learning when not to attempt it. If you're
bending metal or close to it like this, you made a mistake long before you
put the coals to it.
No safe SF takeoff involves whacking the airframe on not one but multiple dirtbars
on the takeoff run........
I don't consider this a typical soft-field takeoff situation and certainly nothing
a student should ever be exposed to......

No, I do not recommend an inexperienced learner try this technique. But
anyone can learn this technique by using a long runway under no wind
conditions, and then progressing on to low cross wind winds, etc. The time
to learn it is when you don't need to use it. After you land in tall grass
or water puddles in grass is not the time to make your first attempt.
What I recommend before flying a FireFly and taken from the top of the page
that I recommended to Jean:
http://www.thirdshift.com/jack/firefly/howtofly.html
"If you have had little to no flight instruction, I strongly urge you get
flight instruction before attempting your first flight in the FireFly. You
need to understand the basic rudimentary physical principles of flight, so
that you will be able to analyze what is going on and so that you can react
appropriately to the normal unexpected things that happen during any flight.
During slow flight, you need to understand, experience, and practice how to
recover from stalls and spins. In addition, during landings you must be able
to initiate forward slips and side slips to enable you to lose altitude, and
to handle cross winds. When all of these skills have been developed to the
point that they are almost automatic, you will have little trouble
transition to the FireFly.
The following observations come from several years experience getting the
FireFly and myself ready to fly. Hopefully, these comments will be helpful
but I am sure they are not all encompassing."
>
>Messing about in ground effect just above the stall is not something most
>instructors would >suggest."
>
I agree, but few, if any instructor is used to flying a 500 lb gross weight
aircraft with four inch wheels off of grass. One other point. There is
nothing wrong with flying in ground effect if you keep tabs on your ASI.
The problem comes when one is overcome by the illusion that ground and
air speed are the same.
It is unfortunate the most hazardous part of flight, the transition to and
from flight through ground effect is ignored by most instructors and yet, I
feel, it is one of the most important to learn for very light aircraft. I
taught my self by flying a 4,000 foot runway at progressively lower speeds
on a no wind day with the wheels no more than three feet above the ground.
Then I repeated the same process in a light cross wind etc and finally
progressed to gusty cross winds. I would bump a wheel once in a while, but
I improved. With practice and no wind or flaperons, it is possible to
fly/taxi the FireFly with the tail planted and main gear off the runway
surface.
Fly Safe!

How do you control pitch attitude with the tailwheel on the ground and the
mains flying.
I'm not sure I understand why all this concern about ground effect. Kolbs
and other aircraft, fixed as well as rotary, require less power to fly in
ground effect. Our Kolbs fly so well, most of the time we don't know when

Don't mean to butt in again, but I'm with John on this - my FSII and thereofre
I should think all Kolbs, fly just fine in ground effect.
I'm still a little mystified about these claims that flying in ground-effect is
dangerous and not something students should be exposed to, etc.
This is very basic training in fixed-wing airplanes, you're exposed to it pretty
much right away when you start on landings and takeoffs. I got hours and hours
of training in this as a student in both GA and light a/c from my various instructors.
I submit problems with flying in GE are training issues rather than problems with
the plane. I did this literally all the time in my FS II when practicing landings,
low approaches and takeoffs.....

Sorry that you are confused Lucien.
I just don`t see that dragging a plane off the ground before it is really
ready to go is good technique.
If there are special circumstances , short field , soft field, standing
water, tall obstructions close by then of course you would use techniques
evolved to deal with that situation. I have flown from a field which is
steeply sloped. The only way to land is to land uphill through a farm gate
entrance and to take off downhill the opposite way.. Wind direction is not
in the equation.
That is a technique to deal with a specific problem and is as safe as it can
be made but presumably you would not advocate teaching it to a low hours
pilot or contend that landing and take off down wind is a desirable thing in
normal conditions..
All I am saying is that taking off while holding the tail down CAN be done
and in specific conditions MUST be done but it is not normal take off
technique.
I read once that Gann, the pilot and author, was once by mistake overloaded
with fuel. He just made it into the air but could only just stay airborne.
His speed was OK so he cleaned up the plane, retracted flaps and wheels.
Then to his horror he found he was headed straight for the Taj Mahal getting
close enough that he could see the fearstricken workmen scrambling off the
scaffolding which surrounded it. Being unable to climb over it Gann dropped
his flaps and achieved that extra bit of lift we all experience when
lowering flaps. This just bumped him high enough.
Now that was a technique to suit a particular situation but I presume that
you wouldn`t teach it as normal.
Good. Now we can have a thread about wether it is possible to increase your
height by dropping flaps.

Lucien, I think I can bring some clarity into Pat's problem with this
technique. You are basing your observations on how a Kolb acts and
reacts, while he is basing his on a Challenger. :-) Did you think the

John,
I do not believe there is much reason to worry about it in heavier and
faster aircraft. Think of risk management and cross wind speed versus stall
speed. Assume you are going to take off in a 20 mph cross wind. Comparing
wind to stall speed, this would give 44% for 45 mphi and 74% for 27 mphi
stall speed. Also comparing 1,000 lb to 500 lb gr wt, which is going to get
blown around more on takeoff and which pilot is going to be the busiest and
who is at greater risk?
Control surface effectiveness is greater in ground effect and cross wind
shear is less close to the ground, so it is better to stabilize and
accelerate the aircraft at this point before moving on up into the full
effects of the cross wind.
Before I changed out the ailerons, modified the control system and added
VGs, I would not have attempted to takeoff in a cross wind of more than 5 mph.
This is the best I can do.

Jack:
Kolbs do not have enough yaw attitude authority to overcome a 20 mph cross
wind.
Somewhere below 20 mph the Kolb will begin to weather vane. Rudder becomes
pretty much useless.
VGs or no VGs.
More than once I have had to find some place to land into the wind because
the wind overpowered the rudder, at the risk of wetting my pants because my
bladder was full. Full bladder was reason for landing in the first place.

I use Studio 10 - but the new version is Studio 12 - not free - about $50
http://www.pinnaclesys.com/PublicSite/us/Products/Consumer+Products/Home+Vid
eo/Studio+Family/
You might click on "see what's new with Version12" and run the tutorial.
It supports Video: DV, AVI, MPEG-1, MPEG-2,
DivX=AE*, MPEG-4*, 3GP(MPEG-4)*, WMV, Non-encrypted DVD title
After editing, I always save it as a MPEG-4 file
& upload it that to goggle or youtube.
Or burn it to HD disc for the TV.
If you're just trying to play the MPEG-2 - copy
it from the chip to your desktop & play it from there.
That will keep it from sticking while you play it
on your computer most of the time.
Sample of one done pretty quick & dirty.

I've never heard of anything like that being taught. I've never encountered this
in any training situation I've ever been in regardless of plane, instructor
or situation.
No soft-field technique I've ever been taught involved anything close to that and
I don't recall ever doing this personally.
What you described in your particular scenario - bouncing over at least 3 large
dirt mounds, then clearing a hedge and then a road after a major, but untested,
repair to the prop drive system - is not in any PTS for any rating I'm aware
of.
But it's quite right to say that that's definitely not safe takeoff practice!

Here again is another training item I'm not familiar with. Knowingly taking off
over over gross is just plain verboten under all circumstances the way I was
taught. Or at least, doing so puts you in test pilot territory and at your own
risk.

Actually, I wouldn't teach this technique of dodging buildings and people while
over gross as normal or safe under _any_ circumstances at all, so yes, you're
quite right.
Again, I'd be instructing some other method than flight as the alternative here,
such as a vehicle for the pilot and a trailer for the plane.
You're right - you're definitely not talking about good training or safety here....

location. Once you decide on a given chord location then geometry does tell
you the minimum useful spanwise spacing. Any more generators than this
minimum spacing will not improve matters and might make things worse. Don't
remember how NASA (actually it might have been a NACA report) decided on
10% - 15% of chord for subsonic wings but that range seems to be what is
used by all the VG vendors, both experimental and certified.

The important thing about your camcorder movies is to end up with a product that
you or anyone else can play and enjoy without special equipment. For most,
that means getting your movies into DVD format. Also, it is nice to be able to
convert your videos to a format that you can upload to YouTube, etc.
I've tried a lot of editing applications, and have had very good luck with Ulead
Visual Studio 11. You can edit just about any format, and go as simple or elaborate
as you wish. You can convert your edited videos to just about any format
known to man.
It's not free, but is worth every penny. Why go to all the trouble of taking videos
and then not get good tools to share them with the world? Visual Studio
(and most other editing apps) need some computing power to work well. I'd recommend
a duo core processor, lots of memory, a big hard drive, and a good graphics
card.

Hi Dave,
All that presupposes that the world actually wants to see them. Judging from
the general standard of filming displayed on the net the perpetrators would
be well advised to keep their productions to themselves until they have
mastered some basic technique.
A few are superb but most....yuck!

I am not going to get into the question of whether Gann should have checked
the amount. It is just the story as I remember it and its years since I read
it..
As for my `take off with an untested repair`. Replacing a faulty drive belt
with a new one hardly calls for a major investigation. In any case that is
entirely beside the point. The object of the story was to illustrate that in
that instance there WAS a case for dragging the plane off the ground as
quickly as possible as it was a small very rough field and a NORMAL take off
run was impractical.
That encapsulates what I have said all along. You CAN take off with the tail
on the ground but unless you need to what is the point?
I think this has been hammered to death. Let us just leave it. I shall
continue to take off in what I consider a safe manner and no doubt you will
do the same.
Incidentally if you have never come across Ganns books I think his initials
are D.W and there was at least one film derived from one of his stories.
Well worth reading.
Merry Christmas

Regardless of why, taking off over gross is a training issue and thus has nothing
to do correct takeoff technique. Negligence of this type doesn't say anything
about the technique used to get in the air, at that point you can't and shouldn't
rely on the results you get.

The way I see it, no takeoff at all, regardless of technique used, could have been
the correct method to use in that situation. Dirt bars, bushes and roads directly
in the path of the takeoff and clearly too close to clear safely is only
a case for not attempting flight period and don't support the use of any takeoff
method.
Trailering techniques, OTOH, could have been effectively taught in a situation
like that.

Beauford,
Is there a website or article in the CPS catalogue that talks about replacing the
parts you are talking about (or did you just get the information by word of
mouth from Lockwood)? I would like to read more about it. Can you look at your
old receipts and tell me what part(s) I would need to order?
All,
We got my choke cables working correctly now. The choke wasn't stuck on...it was
never opened. There was a washer (that prevented the cable housing from sliding
into the metal tube) that hadn't been replaced when we put everything back
together. (But this doesn't help me solve the mystery of the excessive smoking
when we first started it up...but that could be another thread on the forum.)
Thanks for everyone's input and advice.

Cristal:
Two strokes tend to load up with excessive oil in the crank case when run
slowly for long periods of time. As soon as rpm is increased, it will clear
it out, along with a lot of smoke.
Another reason not to let a two stroke idle any longer than necessary.
Another reason the run a two stroke in the power band and not lug them down
at lower rpm.

Sister Cristal:
I initially discovered what was going on from the Lockwood mechanics... I
have never seen a discussion of this problem
in written form anyplace... The mechanics I talked to were certainly
familiar with it...
Per your question... Reference the 2009 CPS catalog, page 143, pertaining to
the Bung...er...Bing 36 mm...
I assume from your reference to the cables that you are using the
cable configuration to work your enrichment/choke... In that case the part
is Bing "starting piston" # 963-740.
If you were using the lever type choke, it is called Bing "choke piston"
part # 268-847.
Hope this helps...

Kolb guys and girls=2C
A few weeks back=2C a guy from Bonaco Inc. offered to send for free (yes
=2C free!!!) a complete set of brake lines to the first person to furnish t
o him the necessary dimensions for said brake lines. The person who respon
ded to his request was me. It also just happens that I am just about ready
to install such brake lines=2C but I didn't have any=2C yet.
Well=2C lo and behold=2C guess what showed up in the mail today. My very
own FREE=2C custom-made complete brake line set=2C including all appropria
te AN fittings to complete the installation. Whoa!! No way!! Yes=2C way!
!
This complete brake line set is some of the nicest looking parts I do bel
ieve I've ever seen. The quality is impeccable. The attached photo does n
ot do the parts justice!! The stainless steel braid has a clear plastic co
at. The AN fittings are anodized and are aircraft quality. Truly good stu
ff.
This set of brake lines was free=2C cost me nothing=2C but the time to fu
rnish measurements=2C and was otherwise at no charge at all. Can't beat th
at with a stick!!!
My guess at the approximate value would be just over $100.
I will be purchasing more items in the future from this company. I need
a flexible fuel line=2C
rather than the solid steel tube fuel line I was using. I will be ordering
it from them. Not only because of this excellent marketing plan=2C but be
cause I have the parts in my hand=2C and they are top notch quality!!
Evidently=2C the old addage "there ain't no such thing as a free lunch" i
sn't completely true!
At least in my case=2C there is such a thing as a once in a lifetime free o
ffer. I've got the goods to prove it!!

John,
On take off you do not need all that much yaw authority. If you move the
stick into the wind and back to keep the up wind main wheel and the tail
wheel planted until it leaves the ground, there is no need for a rudder.
After it leaves the ground, you can let it weather vane into the wind, level
the wings and crab into the wind on climb out.
Landing is different. You can hold in as much side slip as the rudder will
permit. If the wind blows you off, then you have to decide whether to use a
combination of side alip and a crab to get to the runway, and at the last
second lower the up wind wing and plant the up wind wheel. In this case, I
land into the wind. The landing roll is very short.

John H.,
The brake lines furnished to me for free from Bonaco, Inc were their
offering, not my choice. He asked for dimensions and these were what I got.
I agree these would be more appropriate to put on my GlaStar (when I get back
to working on it someday).
The truth is I intended to use plastic tubing, like you have, until this offer
came about.
I have looked for the 1/4" plastic tubing, but I'm not sure what I have found
is
appropriate for brake lines. Icemaker water line just doesn't sound right!!!!
Does anyone know where to get the CORRECT 1/4" plastic tubing, that would work
well
for brake lines on Matco calipers? (Yes, I need 1/4", that's the size of my fittings).

Mike Welch asked: << Is it possible to brush on Poly Tone paint (with a

quality brush) >>
Hi, Mike -
I applied the Poly Tone trim colors on my Mark-III using a roller brush,
with excellent results.
What I discovered after a few tries was, when you first roll on the
paint, tiny bubbles form on the surface.
But those get smoothed out with the subsequent passes of the roller.
The trick is to get the timing right on the last pass of the paint
roller: if it's too SOON, the little bubbles keep forming, and if it
dries this way, you'll see all the tiny circles. If it's too LATE (too
dry), the roller will leave a textured finish in the paint, like orange
peel. If your last roller pass is timed JUST RIGHT, the bubbles are
eliminated and the paint settles out perfectly smooth. But you gotta
discover the "right" timing all on your own - it'll depend on your
temperature and humidity.
But the short answer is, "yes," you CAN get an acceptably smooth and
attractive Poly-Tone finish using a roller.

I don't remember the details from when I read it, either, but also IIRC it

No, icemaker tubing is usually polyethylene. You want the hard nylon
tubing, which is rated for much higher pressure... I got mine from
McMaster-Carr. You need to know the inside diameter too; they have it in
several different ID's.

Dana,
Yeah, I know icemaker tubing wouldn't do. Polyethylene and polyurethane tubing
are not strong enough for the job. I was being facetious.
I have found a few sources that do sell the high pressure nylon tubing. Thanks
for the McMaster-Carr tip. I'll check with them.

Aircraft Spruce sells the stuff you need, line & connectors. You are

Thanks Jerb for the Aircraft Spruce reference. I looked and looked for it there,
but could never seem to come up with it. I found it, thanks.
Yes, I'm very much aware of the differences in brake fluid between an airplane

Hi Scott:
You mentioned oil temp and water temp on your engine installation web page.
The 912ULS (and 912UL) are concerned with oil temp and cylinder head metal
temp. Don't believe there are limits for water temp since it is not a
required parameter to measure.
There are three temp three temp senders on the engine. They are identical.
One is for engine oil temp, and the other two measure #2 and #3 CHT (one for
tractor and one for pusher configuration).
I discovered the engine runs better is the CHT is kept above 180F. Nothing
in the book about that.
You will probably have to block part of the coolant radiator to get the CHT
and engine oil temp up to the minimum of 190F (to burn off condensation in
the oil system).
John W kept each end of his radiator taped year round.

Missed the location of the oil cooler. Will be interested to see how well
it cools in that location. Probably will be ok.
I piggy back my oil cooler on the radiator. My oil temps run higher than

Hi Robert,
I remember there was a passage in one book describing a flight into a fijord
in Iceland(?) during a transatlantic flight. Clag closed the top and the
Airforce base was right at the inland end . There were a couple of bad
direction changes to be negotiated and the it was straight into the
airstrip with no room to turn round and try again. One try only. It had me
on the edge of my seat. great stuff.
thanks for putting me right on the initials, everybody

John,
I am some what puzzled by your cross wind problem. I have thought about it
a little and may be I can help out a little.
You have said you are self taught and I wonder if you are proficient at
cross controlled flying especially side slipping? I assume you are.
Not all Kolbs are the same and this includes your MKIIIC. There are several
changes that you have done to your plane that make it more yaw sensitive.
First, you have moved your main gear forward. This moves the cg further
behind the main gear. What you gained in nose over prevention you lost in
making the plane more squirrelly in yaw on the ground. To compound this you
have added additional fuel capacity and weight. If you do not have baffles
in the tank, fuel sloshing while making a take off run in a gusty cross wind
will cause yaw problems.
With your admitted aft cg and flying heavy, you will lose some roll
authority at low speed, and this will reduce ones ability to hold the plane
steady in gusty cross wind on take off. VG's can help overcome this
situation, in that, they will improve aileron effectiveness at low speed,
and they will move the center of lift back from the cg.
A couple of other factors that can make your plane less ground yaw stable is
incorrect toe in, camber and tire pressure. If the toe in is not neutral
and/or camber is not positive under load, the plane will be squirrely on a
gusty cross wind take off. If you are running low pressure tires the
rolling resistance is a function of the load, and so as the plane rocks from
side to side it will want to turn in that direction.
For what it is worth.
Fly safe!

I think you have misunderstood John's message. First let me assure you John
and his plane are more than up to the task of handling the upper limits of
any Kolb cross wind landing.
Two things. First, we all need to be very careful not to overstate the
capabilities of our airplanes so that less experienced pilots will not try
to handle weather they think is safe because someone has said it was safe.
Second, less experienced pilots tend to over estimate the actual cross wind
component that they have landed in.
I think we should follow John's lead in reporting accurate limits of our
aircraft. Pounding our chests and stating "I can land in a higher cross
wind" isn't a good thing to do here.

Hi Jack:
All aircraft have a ultimate cross wind component limit. I don't know what
Kolbs limits are, but probably around 15 mph in a direct cross wind. After
that there just ain't enough rudder to align the aircraft with the runway.
Landing is much more critical than takeoff in high cross wind conditions,
probably because there is much less air moving over the rudder, and other
flight controls, during landings. I have found it helpful to use short
burst of power to help align the aircraft just prior to and during touch
down, especially on paved strips. Grass and gravel strips are much more
forgiving when touching down or taking off while crabbing.
If all cross winds were steady, it would make operating in them much easier.
But, normally, they are not. Gusty wind conditions play havoc on very light
aircraft. Many times we find ourselves, momentarily, in a "along for the
ride" condition.
I find my modified Kolb as good or better handling rough air and cross winds
than the standard Kolbs I fly. Maintaining runway alignment during takeoffs
is not a problem, normally.
I do a lot better negotiating rough air and cross winds the more I fly.
Lately, I haven't been flying much. In fact, I'm pushing three months since
my last flight, returning from the Kolb Homecoming in Kentucky.

Hi Vic:
The 100 horse generates much more heat than the 80.
My understanding is the Bing carbs on the 912's were not designed to operat
ed in the pusher configuration, air stream blasting the air filters and car
b intakes head on. Frank Reyen designed a way to reverse the intake manifo
lds and fly his carbs on the back side of the engine. On BMW two cylinder
engines, the carbs are mounted on the back side of the cylinders. The Bing
has two static ports is it reading to decide where the piston will be loca
ted, in conjunction with the throttle valve, to adjust mixture. One port i
s what is commonly referred to as the float chamber vent tube and the other
is a port on the lip of the carb intake. These ports need to be reading u
ndisturbed static pressure in order to do their jobs correctly. John W ove
rcame this by running the flat (cake pan) type K&N filters. I did it with
filter covers that came with a carb heat system I purchased some time back.
Before I installed the covers, airflow would blown the fuel vapor stand o
ff at the mouth of the carb out the side of the filter and on the carb and
engine. My 912 engines ran ok with conical filters, but made a mess of bro
wn fuel stain on them. One of these days I will remove the filter covers a
nd see if I can detect any difference in performance.

Why Choke (enricher) OR Primer? Why not both, each performing a separate function?
When I bought my FS1 w/447, it was very hard starting. It had only the enricher
circuit, which for reasons I'm still not sure of, was not much help in getting
it started when cold. It would take 6-8 pulls before it would get rich enough
to fire. Yes, it has an electric fuel pump used to make sure there is fuel in
the float chambers before attempting a start.
My hard starting fix was to install a squeeze bulb primer teed off the main fuel
supply line and plumbed to the nipple (designed for this purpose) just downstream
of the butterfly valve. To start I give the bulb one squeeze to give the
carb throat a little raw fuel, shut off the valve to this branch of the line
and start it with a single pull of the rope. The squeeze bulb primer is used only
for a starting squirt and then isolated from the rest of the fuel system during
running. The shut-off valve is important because this branch is located
on the suction side of the mechanical pump. Without the shut-off valve, the mechanical
pump could draw air thru this branch from the carburetor if the check
valve in the squeeze bulb failed.
Once started, the enricher can be shut down as the engine warms up. It is simpler
than it sounds when I read this description and works perfectly.

If the engine and carb is set up correctly, and the enricher circuit is in

Richard,
If I have not made my self clear on this List, then I apologize. I feel
like I always recommend practice and training. I make no apology for
recommending that fellow FireFlyers and/or Kolbers practice cross wind
landings. I have gotten caught on return trips where the wind was too high
to make a cross wind landing. It is easily detected by setting up a side
slip on final approach. If you drift off you have to take a different
approach. I assume the FireFly has the advantage in this case because one
can turn into the wind and land on a cross taxiway or a ramp with very low
ground touch down speed. The MKIIIC can be flown the same way but the roll
out would be longer due to the higher stall/approach speed.
I do worry about inexperienced pilots being told that all Kolb models fly
the same, they don't. I worry about the inexperienced being told that aft
cg is unimportant. Is this chest pounding? Well, I guess it is.
This List is a good forum for telling it like it is. Several people on this
list have had accidents, and they have come forward and told it like was, so
that we all could learn from their experience. In the last few years some
"good and experienced" Kolb pilots have been killed. The last was John W.
Several people on this list were present, but we have not seen a good
description of what they saw, if they saw anything. Was he flying through a
down draft on the back of a mountain? Did he have medical emergency? Since
he was camping was he flying with an aft cg? Most likely we will never
know. Most likely what will injure or kill you is what you didn't know until it
is too
late. So practice and practice.
So lets keep it safe.

If I had a steady 30 MPH crosswind to land in there would be little

The problem here is 30 MPH translates into gusts over 40 and sudden
calm thus setting up the

Part of the confusion may be from the fact that some non certified aircraft

I really like what you did with the radiators on your Kolb, I have always thought
about moving my radiators away from behind the cage, and putting a sharp V
aluminum fairing back there like John H has. I was just not sure where to move
the radiators to... On front of the engine would be almost no drag, and keep
clean air in the prop. Where did you get the hardware to mount the radiators
on the front of the engine ? I looked at your pictures, could you post a few
pictures showing more of the mounting details ?

Have you flown all the Kolb models?
Except for a little difference in size, weight, and power, they all fly the
same. If I remember correctly, you have only flown your FF. However, you
could crawl in a MKIII, FS, US, or Kolbra, and feel right at home after a
few take offs and landings.

Who said that?
On several occassions I have stated paper weight and balance and reality are
not always the same when it comes to Kolb aircraft. If it was, my airplane
would not fly. I didn't put the 11+ lb Maule Tundra Tailwheel on my mkIII
to prove this point, I needed a better tail wheel, but it sort of
demonstrates that paper and actuality do not agree.

John Williamson was my best flying buddy. We spent some great time together
flying cross country all over the lower 48. Our flight last May was the
best yet.
Here is the final NTSB report on John's accident. It was compiled from what
Larry Cottrell, Roger Hankins, and I saw and heard that Sunday morning, 25
May 2008. However, probable cause was determined by the NTSB agent. The
four of us have flown extensively together in this part of Oregon. To
understand what a unique experience this was, one would have to have been a
participant. We have been doing this since our first on the Alvord Desert
in 2005.

I have spent days flying in heavy rain with never a hint of engine miss fire

Did nearly lose the engine on my FS, Rotax 447, after flying through a rain
storm. It did result in a precautionary landing and I was losing power when
I turned to final in a drainage ditch south of Crystal River, Florida, in
Hernando County. Also ate up an unprotected wood prop. ;-(
I paid 385.00 for a hot water carb heat system which included the covers. I
flew with the carb heat system for a few years, then uninstalled everything
except the filter covers.
I bought them through a guy that was selling 912 powered trikes at Lakeland

First may I say "Mike...I'm happy you now have your lines. And Thank You for your
help.
I have been providing brake/fuel lines to home builders for years now, and now
and then I like to "fill in the blanks" (as it were) so that when a builder calls
me with a build I am not familiar with i can lend a hand.
Now I know full well that there are those who prefer the poly tubing due mostly
the weight (FYI: the -3 Teflon lines Mike has weigh .055 lbs per Ft.), and there
are those who use the poly line as that whats what was provided in the build.
And lastly there are builders who when they see what is given to them for
brake lines say "I'm going to trust that to stop me"?.
Now as holder of a SEL lic, I am well aware of weight and its affects. But when
I see builds like say a CH701 that are to be built and then flown in to some
rough areas.....well if it were my build I would not want poly lines (but this
is just my personal thought).
So if you are happy with the lines you have great....fly till you drop. Because
that is why you built your baby in the first place right?
But there are options. And I am always seeking those who are willing to help me.."fill
in the blanks"
Again "Thank you Mike"
Best regards to all....

Looks like they made a change to the Op Man:
Antifreeze: Monitor coolant and cylinder head temps.
Waterless Coolant: Monitor CHT.
Antifreeze is red lined at 245F and Waterless at 275.
John W and I chose to use Antifreeze. It is much cheaper than Waterless
Coolant and cools better. I've been using antifreeze since 1994 in the
912's. No problem and no coolant temp gauge. If this requirement had been
initiated back when I mounted the first 912, I probably would have stuck a
coolant temp sender in the system somewhere. I think the book said measured
at the pump outlet, but I may be wrong.

Hi Brett:
My Kolb MKIII was built specifically to fly in very rough, sparsely
populated areas.
It has 2,800+ hours on the airframe, flights to the northernmost point of
the North American Continent in the US and Canada, Point Barrow, Alaska, and
Tuktoyaktuk, North West Territory, plus another flight to Dead Horse/Prudhoe
Bay, and numerous adventures all over the lower 48 landing in the desert,
gravel beds, roads, and even dirt airstrips.
Poly lines have been working well for me the last 2,800+ hours.
How much would a set of lines for my MKIII cost?
What is the OD and ID of your lines?
How much do Mike Welch's MKIII lines weigh?

Both MIL-H-5606 aviation hydraulic fluid and Dexron III ATF are petroleum
based fluids (the MSDS's list them as "highly refined oils" with
additives). Both are compatible with Buna-N seals (the most common generic
seal material), although there may be other reasons not to use one or the
other. However, there are other types of ATF (ATF+4, Ford Type F, and
others) that may have a different base, I don't know. OTOH, DOT3 and DOT4
automotive brake fluids are a mixture of various glycols, which don't like
Buna but are compatible with EPDM rubber seals (but EPDM doesn't like
petroleum oils), while DOT5 brake fluid is a silicone base fluid (I once
owned a surplus postal Jeep that used DOT5). Older British cars used a
mineral based brake fluid and you could screw them up by using DOT3.

John,
Well sir you have an outstanding aircraft there, and with the TT you have on her
I would assume that she is well taken care of as well.
I can only provide you a cost based on the lengths that Mike gave me for his build
(so I am not certain that that they would apply to yours).
-3 Teflon w/clear coat St to St 103" OVL $38.20
-3 Teflon w/clear coat St st St 90" OVL $33.30
The OD of this hose is .2995. The ID is 3/16".
Now I gave Mike several adapters (816-3D and 822-3D) not knowing just how He would
be routing the lines. If your build (or others) have -4 fittings, I can build
-3 lines with -4 nuts (with this you would not have change anything on your
build). As I had said the hose weights .055 lbs per ft.
I hope that you found this some what helpful, if you have any questions at all
please feel free to ask, or drop me a line.

Hey Guys:
Got an hour flight time in today, first in nearly three months. Felt good.
Airplane did good. OAT was 70F at 2,500 feet.
Now have 301.2 hours on the new 912ULS. It is running good.
While I was roaming around out West, we had two new additions to the Gantt
International Airport family. The two resident mama burros had two little
baby burros. It is worth the effort to go over to the farm just to watch
these two clowns perform. Don't know how old they are, but not more than
two months.
These are genuine airport jackasses. They fit right in.

I to have used the K&N filters in rain. No problems while at cruse RPM. I
have had trouble after sitting on the ground waiting on light rain or misty
weather to clear with the engine not running up to full take off RPM. This
has happened on two occasions. Both times I removed the filters , the engine
ran to correct RPM. On these occasions I returned to my home airport without
problem. When the filters dried out I put them back on , no problems . The
way I see it when the engine is pulling plenty of air it will keep the
filter pods clear. When left sitting the water build up will prevent
sufficent air to pass though the filters reducing HP . Flying in rain is no
fun and it chews up those wooden props fast.

Here's a very simple, accurate, gage you can build in ten minutes for about 5 bucks.
Buy about 6 ft of clear plastic tubing, sized to fit the nipple on your
carb or manifold. Fill the tube about half way with some oil (I used pretty blue
two stroke oil) Form a low loop with the ends attached to the carbs and tape
the whole affair in place with the part with the oil in it parallel and touching
each other (make sense). If you are working on a hks you can remove the
prop to make things easier and much safer.
The hks doesn't mind being run with no prop ( I keep the revs below around 3500)
The carbs should be mechanically synchronized before you start the engine or
the oil will quickly get sucked into the weaker carb. As you adjust the carbs
the oil level will move toward the weaker carb. It is quite easy to get the
carbs perfectly balanced ! By the way, I did it without the prop, then checked
it with the prop and it made no difference, other than the engine ran much smoother
with no prop.

Pinnacle Studio 11 is the best video editing program I have ever used. It does

I have tried others, Adobe does everything, but you need to spend a month figuring

Windows Movie maker that comes with Windows XP is good, and free, for simple editing,

Good grief John, that is serious business. The worst I have had, so far,
in spite of being hangared on a farm is a bug up the pitot. Mind you
that nearly gave me heart failure as the ASI wound backwards in the
middle of the climb out. Trouble is that the first thing that happens
when the apparent speed drops off is to stuff the nose down without
thinking . Not until I looked for an horizon did I realise what was

77 degrees.? Very comfortable. Here it is just above freezing and we

Dear Investors,
This is of the utmost urgency. The following is the "sleeper of all

A group of us are considering investing in a large cat ranch near
Hermosillo, Mexico. It is our purpose to start rather small with
about one million cats. Each cat averages about twelve kittens a
year; skins can be sold for about 20 cents for the white ones and up
to 40 cents for the black. This will give us twelve million cat skins
per year to sell at an average price of around 32 cents, making our
gross revenue about $3 million a year. This really averages out to
about $10,000 a day (excluding Sundays and holidays, of course).
A good Mexican cat man can skin about 50 cats each day, at a wage of
$13.15 a day. It will take 663 men to operate the ranch, so the net
profit would be over $8,200 per day. Your $50,000 investment would be
recovered in 6.1 days, which beats the stock market don't ya know.
Now, the cats would be fed on rats exclusively. Rats multiply four
times faster than cats. We would start a rat ranch adjacent to our
cat farm for the rats. If we start with a million rats, we will have
four rats per cat per day. The rats will be fed on the carcasses of
the cats that we skin. This will give each rat a quarter of a cat.
You can see by this that the business is a clean operation;
self-supporting and really automatic throughout. The cats will eat
the rats and the rats will eat the cats and we will get the skins

I tried to tell you... drown 'em. No rat can swim for very long.

Hi,
A little advice from a "never failed yet" trapper. If the rats are
licking the P Butter from the pan, there are two ways to handle it.
Firstly it may not be rats, it may be mice that are not heavy enough to
trip the trap. I would put lots of mouse traps around or a live trap
that will take care of the little ones. The other thing you can do is to
dig enough ground out to bury the trap. It would need to be by a wall
where you could hang your bait high enough that the rat would have to
stretch to reach the bait. You, I assume have a steel trap with a pan,
if so tear off a small piece of cloth and lay over the trigger and pan,
but not over the jaws. The idea is to keep the dirt from sifting under
the pan and keep the trap from springing. Sift the dirt over the jaws
just enough to conceal the trap, but the bare minimum necessary to hide
it. What you are trying to do is to lure the rat into walking up to the
wall and trying to reach the food that is dangling just out of reach,
thus stepping into a trap that it does not know is there. Rats generally
run along walls and natural corridors, so even if they don't smell the
bait, (unlikely) they have a chance to step into the trap. If there are
isolated points of entrance bury a trap there. If they run the walls,
such as on a 2x4, place a trap there where they can't avoid it.
Karen and I put the wings on the Firestar today, wind is howling, cold
as a well diggers butt!

Yeah, Larry I did it. two inexpensive vacuum gauges @ $20 + two inline valves @
10 + plus fittings and lines $10 to $15 depending on application. + shipping.
Who said it was a one time thing? After I got my carbs set the CHT's and EGT's
were dead even at all times 5 degree spread for the CHT's and 25 for the EGT's,
but always in that range. When the carb boots started to leak the temp spreads
grew. I went back to the vacuum gauges to get a reading and reset. Temp spread
grew again. Time to look elsewhere. Found rotted carb sockets.
Even if you don't use it as a diagnostic tool, what about every annual? Having
balanced carbs is paramount for the best fuel economy and engine performance,
why would you not include it as an item on your annual?

John,
I started having the same problem with them licking the peanut butter off.
I found a way to fix that. Get a jar of roasted peanuts and take a half peanut
and push it through the trigger mechanism between the catch for the rod and
the bait holder. You need a nut that is a little big then push it through.
This will shave off part of it so it fits snug. Then put peanut butter on it.
The mouse will lick of the PB and then it will get greedy and try to get the nut
and pow! I caught two tiny ones on mouse traps with this method.
Are you using Victor traps which have the brass colored metal trigger catch?
These are the best snap traps.
The Black Cats from Lowes with the plastic trigger that looks like cheese are terrible.
They will not snap if I touch the trigger.

John,
Did you get a chance to see what your altitude loss was with the engine off?
