Maybe we better move it up a month,
forget about Sun and Fun, and do it in April
Wonder what the temps are in March? :-)
john h
cant say much for southern utah.... but in the north april can be quite cold...
and the early part of the month is the rainy season..... so if you are thinking
april thnk the end .... when i go out to the golden spike site on may 10
the temp can vary from 45 and rain to 75-80 and hot and dry..... nights are
always quite cold and i have seen the time where on may 10 we had 6 inches of
snow.... is your crystal ball better than mine??? also i thought that
to involve mothers day weekend in may, would end up getting some of us shot.
i will try to fine some average data for mid april to the end of may and then we
can decide based on the facts.

To those of you with N-numbered experimentals... The regs for the
Airworthiness Certificate for experimentals state that it's for "VFR, Day
Only." Does anyone know what it takes -- after I add navigation lights --
to have it changed to allow night flying?

I recommend some good ballistic armor for those afraid of their significant
other. We really do need to come to a decision on the dates, so all can
plan accordingly. May would be better for me. Got to Go! Wife is

Robert,
A paragraph in your Operating Limitations is all it takes to allow night
flight.
This is the paragraph that is in my Phase II section:
After completion of Phase I flight testing, unless appropriately equipped
for night and/or instrument flight in accordance with CFR section 91.205,
this aircraft is to be operated under VFR, day only.

Robert,
First, be sure your operating limitations say something like, "After
completion of phase 1 flight testing, unless appropriately equipped for
night and /or instrument flight in accordance with Section 91.205, this
aircraft is to be operated under VFR, day only." If they don't say
something similar, go back to the FSDO and have them changed.
If that is taken care of and you've completed phase 1, then simply comply
with the six requirements listed in 91.205(c), make a log-book entry, and
fly.
Check the regs for details.....basically they require position lights,
anti-collision light, adequate energy, and spare fuses.

Hello Fellow Kolbers,
I just wanted to say thanks to those who shared their ideas with me on how
I could carry more fuel on my plane, I got more ideas than I had before but I
haven't quite decided yet. I am still pondering which would work for the best
for me.
Thanks

Subject: Kolb-List: Extra fuel??
I have been thinking about how I can carry enough extra fuel to make a long
trip worth while and I have decided that I am going to add another facet
fuel pump, plumb a 5 gal plastic container lid with a pick up tube, run it
to the extra pump, run it to my first tank that is installed in the Kolb.
When the first tank gets close to empty, (I have a gage that will tell me
the level) turn on the extra pump and refill it while I am flying. When I
don't need it I can set it aside, plug the lines and forget about it.
Nothing permanent or in the way, but there when I need it. That should give
me a 250 mile range, or damn close to it. Investment about 35 bucks or less.
Larry

Finished the seat and seat belt installation today, hope to mount the nose cone
and instruments tommorrow so I can get the enclosure popped together. Man do
those anodized floor pans look sweet!
Spent an hour this evening helping the gas company service guy thaw out our gas
regulator. This weather is horrible! 0 degrees F and expected to be -5 F by
morning.
I am so glad we have the wood burner to back up the gas furnace or we would have
been in real trouble tonight.
Did I mention my garage workshop is unheated? Neither rain nor snow nor COLD freaking
winters will keep this dude from finishing his Kolb by next month.
How about you Lar? :-)

====================
Lar, mates;
Well today I picked up the finished cage all powder coated "Sky Blue". :-) I
sort of agonized over the paint color for a while, and finally chosen light
blue. White was too mondane and everybody seems to have it. Red which is
another popular color is an eye ache, and too hot for the desert. I
personaly hung around the shop and masked the parts like the pedal slides
that you mentioned from locking up by the coating. Still had to do some work
to loosen them, but now they are free on the slides. I will upload a few
photo's of the cage as soon as I figure how to do it. While the cage was
being sand blasted and de-rusted coated, I decided to eliminate any of uncle
Hauk leading age distortion (real or imagined) from happening to ...( now I
gotta come up with a name for that collection of rivets & tubes). So I
wrapped a bunch of 2024 .017 strips around every other rib to spar contact,
leading and trailing. They are so thin that I doubt that they will be
noticable once covered with tape, and if they are then so be it. Tomorrow if
work is slow I'll start the mating of the boom to cage. Any points from
anyone will be welocmed as always...
I hope I took enough photo's at the TNK Fly-In to keep me going to the
finish. Those plans simply suck. For the 14 grand or so they charge, they
sure can do a video camara walk around the factory demo, shoot from all
angles and provide a casset. I should have done so myself. I guess till
Brucy Baby does not build one himself, the manual will be slow in improving.
I am fairly solid in my decision for the Hirth 100+ hp motor. I am wondering
how complex that installation will be,, if at all????
Oh yes while the cage was being baked in the oven it seems that a couple
drops of oil blead out of it from a weld joint and onto the paint staining
it. Do they rust proof the tubes with oil at the factory?
Still got a long way to go.
Have you gotten that VW engine started?

Joel,
One of the tricks used around here to transfer fuel from a reserve tank to
the main tank is to simply blow in the vent on the reserve tank. Run a
long enough vent tube to reach your mouth. Simple....effective...takes
awhile though.
