I've thought about that, too, and heard of several people doing it. Sounds
good in theory, anyway. Howsumever...........................now that
Vamoose' wings are done, complete with flaps & ailerons, I've tried to move
them, and it's like trying to pick up a big bundle of snakes without hurting
or scratching them. Folding, I can see; that rear pivot point/hinge helps
a lot. Taking them right loose, and moving them around - by myself -
uh................I don't t'ink so. Those of you who do take the wings
off, and hang them on the sides of the trailer................how do you do
it ?? Lar.

John,
I guess I got your original installation mixed up with another bird I saw
that first year, I also remember a Titan with a small rotary engine. I'll
have to go dig through our old photo albums do restore my slurred memory.
At any rate, I remember how striking of an impression your bird made. Quite
impressive she was and is.

Denny/Gang:
Thanks for the kind words.
That was Sun and Fun 1993. As usual, I didn't get
the airplane flying until just prior to the show.
Miss P'fer was not ready to show, but we showed
her anyway. She flew home with an Outstanding
Light Plane Award. Got outdone by a Kitfox that
was painted a really femanine pinkess color. I
believe he even had the engine painted the same
color. He got the Grand Champion Award.
I took a couple months during the Summer to do the
little things to finish off my MK III for
showing. Flew her to Oshkosh and brought home the
big one. The Kitfox that beat me out at Lakeland
picked up second place.
Been 10 years ago already............Times a
flying!

Denny,
I know you don't want a carhauler but I thought you might find photos
of how the wings of my Firefly are mounted on the walls when ready to
travel. Go to homepage.mac.com/gene1930 for the details. Having the
front of the trailer angle down is definitely a good idea. I should
have done that.

Larry,
My trailer is parked at the airport and I only remove the wings when I
want to travel with Firefly behind me. It does take two people but you
only need help for a few minutes and there are always good folks
watching who eager to help.

Greetings all
Just want to say thank you to the lister that thought there might be a virus on
the list (one with the teddy bear icon). I checked hard drives and sure enough
it was lurking there on both computers. I would have responded off line to
that individual but in my haste to expunge all traces I had also removed the
e mail message. Hope everyone checked files and folders for jdbgmgr.exe.
Thanks again

Richard--That is not a virus. It is hoax that has been around for a long
time. Don't delete the teddy bear file. It is a good file. If you have
already deleted it, you can re-install it. I don't have the way to do that
right here but McAfee or Noron can give you instructions or I am sure
someone on this list will help. My neighbor who is a computer expert for
the Pentagon got suckered in by this thing and convinced me to delete this
file.

I hate to break the bad news to you but you removed real system files! The
virus message is a hoax. Don't feel to bad, many have been caught by it.
Don't believe me? Check www.snopes.com
fortunately you probably wont have to replace them. Most users don't use the
features they support..

Guys I feel like a dope not doing more research on that virus message. Went to
several of the sites that were suggested and after digesting the material it
appears that what we do with our computers will never require the files that I
deleted. I don't know how I missed the posting that it was a hoax.
Thanks to all for enlightening me. Now I guess I am guilty of non kolb related
posts too. My apologies, won't happen again.
Keep warm

Hello listers,
While out at the field this weekend, I made a bonehead move and need some
advice. While starting up the Kolb, I put my foot up on the tire for
leverage and my shoe was wet as its still semi-swampy from all the rain
lately. My foot slipped and caught on the brake cable which apparently goes
through a grommet that is just suspended in a fabric hole. The cord tore the
fabric for about 2 inches toward the front of the plane. I need to repair it
as that will be screaming at me every time I go to the airport... I am about
as much of a perfectionist as the guy who built it.
So, is there a patch I can put on the inside that would make it seamless? I
have access to this spot from the inside and thought that would be the best
way to do it. I don't have any fabric experience at all and don't have the
stitts manual. I don't really want to buy the book to do this so I was
hoping for a product that just slaps on like a patch. In case that doesn't
exist, I do have a bunch of exess fabric that was left over from the plane
being covered...
Thanks for your help.

James, buy the book! You will use it again. Jim and Dondi Miller will
sell it to you and a patch materials kit at a reasonable price. This is
if you want to do the job right which entails removing paint and getting
a bit of hands-on experience working with Stits fabric.
If you don't, then buy some self-adhesive sail repair tape and just slap
it on. You will hate it every time you look at it, but... hey... it's a
patch!

--> Kolb-List message posted by: CaptainRon <CaptainRon@theriver.com>
In what is fast becoming the eternal quest for the *right* motor. I came
across a Rotax rotary model 787 110hp two cycle engine. Went and visited a
shop where they will sell me this motor, for my undisclosed project.
New with all the stuff attached it came to about 4K. Only show stopper that
I could discern is lack of a water pump. This engine is found in the Seadoo
line of water splashers.
Questions;
1 anyone familiar with this engine, and if so is it adoptable for aviation
use?
2. I measured the mount on the engine base it is 90mm wide and 150mm long or
(9cm-x-15cm). I have not measured but it looks exactly like the regular Kolb
Rotax aviation mount.
3. where does the rotax water pump attach at on the 582, thinking maybe its
not integral to the motor and thus I can fit any standard Rotax water pump
onto this plant? I took a bunch of photo's of this engine, and if someone
wants to post them for general viewing I'll email them.
I am not happy to give money to Rotax but for the right engine/HP and a
reasonable bill, I'd do it.

Denny, my enclosed trailer is 24' 6" centerline inside...if i were you i would
get a 24' trailer, only because the resale is far better than a 22' when
it comes time to upgrade or trade in value assuming you go
with the 6000 lb. dexter axles my haulmark is 3460 lbs. curb weight. also Denny
take a good hard look at a 4' beaver tail inside the trailer....mine is setup
this way and can only be done with the 24' otherwise in
the 22' your tail wheel will run past the pitch and youleading edges will be touching.
let me know if you need pics i will be happy to send you some.

rear door lets down to provide a ramp and the last 4' of the floor is sloped
down toward the rear. I understand your desire to have a light weight
trailer but I pull mine with an Aerostar van with a 4.0L engine. Only about
6 miles to the airport. It's a pretty good load for it but I don't go too
fast and I have the electric brakes hooked up.
I will send you some pictures of the dolly I built to safely trailer the Mark
III. I prefer not to remove the wings each time because I have to trailer
each time I fly.
The Dolly supports the tail of the plane so that no weight is on the
tailwheel and has a padded saddle for each wing to set in. The saddles are
mounted with slotted blocks so that any movement of the wing fore and aft
from the tail boom flexing does not slide the wing in the saddle. There is a
handle that comes to the back of the rudder to pull the plane into the
trailer with. I use a couple of rods to hold the wing steady up front... ( A
picture is worth a lot of words so I will send them to you off list)

James, a quick fix : buy a tube of "goop" at most lowes/home depot/ ace hdwe
Use it to glue a piece of dacron to the back. Be stingy with it as it
will tend to
dissolve paint. Squeeze the whole mess between two flat surfaces for 3-4
hrs.
When dry lightly sand the joint with 320 and water, brush touch with similar
paint. -good luck, BB do not archive

Speaking for myself, I have no problem with this type of non-Kolb message.
You put it out for the benefit of everybody, regardless of the final
outcome. I appreciate it.......................'course, I've been guilty of
a few (??) non-Kolb messages, myself. Hope I don't start a flame war here,
but at times this group can be a huge, multi-talented resource, and it seems
a shame not to utilize it. Gogittum Lar.

Went to several of the sites that were suggested and after digesting the
material it appears that what we do with our computers will never require
the files that I deleted. I don't know how I missed the posting that it was
a hoax.

=============================
Well they also have a 4 stroke, a bit of over kill on a kolb,, 150hp. They
also have a supercharged model at 185HP iirc. I suppose we can derate these
motors for our use. If I only had an access to a machine shop, and a friend
that knows his way around milling machines. We all would be much better off,
and for a lot less money. :-)
The pics are on the way.

This is John Wood's reply to me about his crash. Sure glad he's OK, but too bad
about that beautiful little FireStar.

Larry,
It was me. Plane pretty hurt. No personal injuries. Heard a loud bang, vibration
followed, did an emergency landing in a soft plowed field with 18' high green
shrubs. Looked like grass from the air. Was only 1500 ft. not much time to go
fishing for a landing spot. The tires dug in and the plane flipped. Still waiting
for responses back from NTSB and FSDO.

--> Kolb-List message posted by: John Hauck <jhauck@elmore.rr.com>
Hi Gang:
Paul Petty was kind enough to send me some pics of
my airplane he took right after I landed at Ronnie
Smith's, South Mississippi Light Aircraft,
Lucedale, Mississippi.
I'll share them with you all. Especially the ones
of the gear box and the PTO end of the engine with
gear box removed.
Mark III Pics:

http://home.sw.rr.com/jhauck/P3020016.jpg
http://home.sw.rr.com/jhauck/P3020017.jpg
This is the 912S gear box after removal and before
being dismantled. Ronnie shimmed up the torsional
vibration dampner as tight as he could possibly
get it. Was a good feeling to see no indication
of wear in 412 hours:
http://home.sw.rr.com/jhauck/P3020021.jpg
This is the PTO end of the 912S. That is the
engine driven fuel pump hanging by the number one
exhaust pipe. The fuel filter has been used on
all my airplanes and engines since the first,
1984. The paper towel is stuffed into the end of
the crank shaft to keep oil from draining out onto
the airplane. It did anyhow. The coolant
recovery bottle is a Nalgene squeeze bottle used
by resturants for catsup and mustard. The first
912 mounted on a MK III was mounted on this
airplane in 1994. There were no provisions from
Kolb or anyone else on how to do it. Jim designed
and fabricated engine mounting, radiator and oil
cooler mounting, and an exhaust system. If you
were at Sun and Fun 1994, and did not see Miss
P'fer, you probably heard her. She sported four
straight stacks 18" long made of mandrel bent
tubing. A 180 deg bend came out of each cylinder
to meet in the middle and then turn 90 deg with
two exhausts point straight out at each wing tip.
WOT she sounded like an Indy car coming down the
straightaway. I made a lot of people frown at
Lakeland with my prototype exhaust system, but
Homer Kolb loved it. I could see him grinning
from ear to ear. The exhaust was so loud it began
pounding my head through the headset after about
two hours flight time at 5,000 rpm.
http://home.sw.rr.com/jhauck/P3020022.jpg
This is a shot of John Cooley taking a pic of the
bridge work that carries my main landing gear.
You can also see my Ultrastar seats that tilt
forward for access underneath them and also to get
into my cargo compartment. Please notice the
Halon fire extinguisher. Both my Firestar and
Mark III have always been equipped with Halon:
