Thanks for the list John. I checked it over and not counting the ones who
were going to be there all week, the majority of Kolbers being there only 2
or 3 days, are going to be there Sat 4/5 (about 9 of them). Would this be a
good day to plan a dinner out? John, if this is ok with you, can you throw
out a time to meet at the Kolb Trailer?
Looking forward to the show.
Fly Safe

I have a new Powerfin I'm about ready to fly for the first time, and I called the
company to ask what they knew about the "delamination" that was involved in
John Wood's accident. Stuart Gort was evidently not successful in posting the
below response, so I'm going try and share his info.
Frank Clyma
Hello folks,
I am writing in response to an e-mail posted by John Woods, wherein he
makes a claim of prop failure with one of our products resulting in
damages to his airplane. I do not generally attend Internet forums. This
was brought to my attention by customers of mine whom I thank for their
concern. I hope this note will suffice to address the matter but please
write to: info@powerfin.com if you feel compelled to discuss the
matter further or call 1 (800) 581-8207 to speak with me directly and I
will be happy to inform you of any further developments. I will most
likely not make any further response to this matter on any internet
forum.
First:
Any time a pilot gets his airplane down after equipment failure without
injury is cause for both celebration and reflection. I am happy John and
his Young Eagle passenger are safe. Let us all reflect, however, that
this engine out landing could have had far graver results. We should be
ever vigilant to train ourselves for the INEVITABILITY of engine out
landings. As a high time general aviation and ultralight flight
instructor - Good job on your landing, John!
That having been said I need to point out four issues regarding this
event and let the reader use this reply to help himself determine the
culpability of Powerfin Inc. in this matter.
1. The reader of anything posted on the internet (including this
response) has a duty to hold all reports with a certain skepticism
unless he has first hand information relating to a particular event
described. At the very least, no judgment should be made against
Powerfin products until I've been given the opportunity to evaluate the
broken part and render an opinion on the matter. I have not been given
that opportunity and yet it is implied that Powerfin Inc. is
"determined" to be responsible for this by an official government
agency. Perhaps Mr. Woods does not mean to imply that. If not, it would
be nice for me and the rest of the internet to know that.
2. With all due respect to Mr. Woods, any implication that the FAA made
a determination about this incident is simply not true. The NTSB (not
the FAA), which is the primary investigator of airplane accidents rarely
considers cases involving ultralights, especially if there is no injury
or fatality. There can be no official "determination" without myself or
my company being contacted directly by the NTSB. I have not been
contacted by any representative of the FAA or the NTSB regarding Mr.
Woods' incident. Perhaps the person mentioned works for the FAA in some
capacity. That fact alone does not render him or her qualified to
conclude anything with respect to composite propellers. I hope the
reader will ponder for a moment why there is any mention of the FAA at
all in Mr. Woods' post.
3. I have attempted to e-mail Mr. Woods several times at the e-mail
address attached to his post but I cannot get an e-mail through.
4. John Woods posted his comments on Monday, March 3, 2003 indicating
the accident occurred on the previous Saturday. It is now three weeks
since this incident and I have not yet been contacted by Mr. Woods or
anyone representing him. I consider this quite odd because I'm sure I
would have contacted the manufacturer very soon had this happened to me.
Powerfin Inc. has been producing quality propellers since 1995. Looking
further down this list you are apt to find more than a few satisfied
customers. Since my first propeller was released I have been constantly
updating and improving my product in an effort to produce the best
quality with safety being the primary design factor. To date, I have not
yet produced a propeller that takes every bit of abuse thrown at it.
This is mostly due to the fact that I've attempted to make the prop very
light so it will operate within the limits for inertial mass that Rotax
has set for its gearboxes. The way the props are constructed now, I
could make them much stronger at the leading edge but then they would
drastically exceed the Rotax limit for moment of inertia. My current
offering, therefore, is a compromise between leading edge strength and
light weight, which I freely admit. My current offering, however, cannot
be considered fragile by any means and it will take a considerable
impact on the leading edge without sustaining structural damage. For
instance, we have a prop on a Rans S-12 on the field here at Arlington
Airport that took a direct hit with a spark plug at full power, climbing
out. There was a gouge the size of quarter in that blade but we
repaired it and that airplane is still flying with it. I wouldn't send
this prop out the door to any of you but I allowed this because it is
here on the field and I can monitor it. I have another example of an
F-model blade that had a 3/8" drive socket wrench handle go through the
prop and slam into the tail boom so hard that it bent the tail boom 6"
out of whack. Most of that blade remained on the airplane although it
did delaminate and it was ruined. My point is that it took a wrench
going through that prop to produce what Mr. Woods describes. I'm not
saying a wrench went through Mr. Woods' prop but until I have a chance
to inspect it, I must assume something other than air went through it.
I am currently working on a method of construction that will result in a
blade that is considerably stronger at the leading edge but actually
weighs less than the one I offer now. If I am successful with this
project, I will have accomplished a great deal indeed when you consider
the other products available.
I thank you for reading this and considering the matter carefully before
making a judgment. I also thank those who support my efforts and enjoy
their Powerfin propellers. I have worked very hard, and very
conscientiously to produce a respectable product. I will always,
therefore, protect myself against unwarranted claims. Mr. Woods' claim
is unwarranted until proof of abject blade failure is offered. So far,
there is no proof offered. I ask the reader, therefore, to consider the
large number of other possibilities that exist to explain this incident.
That is all I can do until I have his broken blade to inspect.
Sincerely,
Stuart Gort - Powerfin Inc.
The following is Mr. Woods' post of March 3, 2003
Hi Everyone,
As a few of you have noticed, from the accident reports, my
Firestar was
involved in an accident this past Saturday. I was reluctant to
discuss it
until the FAA and a chance to look at it. What they had determined
is that
my "new" Powerfin prop delaminated and consequently struck the
aileron tube.
The new prop had only about 12 hrs on it. I was about 1500 agl when
this
occurred. It made a very loud noise and got the attention a several
folks on
the ground. I immediately pulled the power back and began setting
up for
landing the plane. Below me was a grass field. I positioned the
plane to
take advantage on the long direction of the field. As I got closer
to the
ground it became apparent that is was not grass but 18" new growth
from the
recent rains. The ground was soft and wet. As the rollout
continued, I could
see the tires were starting to settle into the soft ground. A
combination of
the soft ground the tall grass a plowed field and the recent rains,
the
plane came to an abrupt stop at about 25 mph and as in slow motion
the nose
dipped forward and the rest of the plane followed coming to rest
upside
down. My passenger and I were left hanging upside down. I undid my
seat belt
and the then undid hers. I was conducting young eagle flights which
I have
done ever since I have started flying my Firestar. We were both not
injured.
With all the forces in play, had the cage not been made of
chromally, I am
sure the outcome would have been different.
The insurance representative, I could tell, was having a hard time
trying to
figure out how he was going to evaluate the damage. He was new at
this and
had not probably reviewed too many experimental homebuilt
airplanes. How do
you value a homebuilders time or apply a standard when there are no
shops
that would even work on one of our planes. I do have hull coverage,
so I
will be compensated in some way. The actual damage includes bent
cage front
and top, both wings bent, wing struts bent, prop broken and rudder
bent. As
the engine was still operating at idle at the time of the flip, the
engine
would have to be at least completely gone through.
I was so looking forward to Monument Valley. I am not sure now what
my plans
will be. I love flying my plane and I usually get out at least once
a week
and take a little jaunt around the countryside. I am going to miss
this
while I work on getting a flying solution in place.
Take care,
John

The brake lines, if you are using what most folks

As for prop speeds, and thrust you can dig through the archives and

This is basic stuff, you put a VW direct drive with a 56" prop an a KR-2 and
fly 60 mph its somewhat efficient, fly the same airplane 100mph it becomes
more efficient, it becomes even more efficient at 130 to 140 mph. Now put
that engine on a Kolb and you got a dog. Seems obvious to me but what do I
know.

Hi Larry, Yep, I smaked the earth again-- this time my IVO prop disintegrated!!
One of the steel shafts is gone and the other two are bare and bent. About
10 inches of each blade remain. No broken bones this time only one crushed disk.
More later. Would you like a pix of the prop?

Hi Larry: One of the guys on the Kolb List saw the accident report on your
plane, so I thought I'd better check, and see if you're OK. Report says "no
injuries," so I hope that's correct. What happened ?? Do you still have the
VW engine on your plane ?? I've been kind of "off again, on again"
on my Mk III project with the VW/re-drive power, but finally it's almost ready

One of the lighting coil wires coming from the lighting coils of my 477 has been

I found the bare wires after my engine mysteriously died while I was taxiing to

Hey got your list and photos, still can't view the photos so I will download
them at work tomorrow. (I work Sunday's).
I will take the vertical compass for sure.
You said the ELT comes with the antenna, how about the instrument controller
and mounting harness etc. ?? I will take it as well if it does. (did it go
off)
I would like to be second in line for the ESI if the other person does not
take it. I need to however call EIS on Monday and talk to them, I want to use
a Jabiru and need to ask them if yours will work for me. You said it's a
model 2000, I can't find that listed anywhere. They offer 2 models for the
4stroke motors. I will wait to see on this depending on what the other
fellow does. Just let me know.
Do you have the wireing harness with the Val com radio???
I am very interested in the motor as well, I need to talk to some of my
friends about the possiblity. How has it been stored since the accident, I
assume the oil tank and everything else comes with it. I assume the oil
cooler was destroyed, did anythign else get damaged??
Nice talking with you.
As for now, consider these I listed sold, I will decide on the others after i
get your email.
Thanks.

Meant to send the previous email off list, when I hit reply it normally goes
to the individual person, not the list. Not this time, sorry for the
un-intended email to the group.

| Subject: | 7-Day Matronics List Browse Enhancement... |
--> Kolb-List message posted by: Matt Dralle <dralle@matronics.com>
Dear Listers,
Neil Hulin of the Zenith-List at Matronics wrote to me suggesting I add a
"total of available messages" column to the 7-Day List Browse Main page,
and it seemed like a great idea! I've made the modifications and I think
many will find it extremely helpful as well. Have a look at the following URL:
http://www.matronics.com/listbrowse/
Best regards,
Matt Dralle

My guess would be about $6k, maybe a little more if everything is A1 with a
great paint job. The Hirth & the needed re-pack hurts you a little.

| Subject: | SPRING LANDING GEAR |
--> Kolb-List message posted by: "David Key" <dhkey@msn.com>
Well, I finally bent my landing gear in a very rough cow pasture in my Mark
III. I've seen a spring landing gear for the Kolbs but I don't know where.
Does someone know where I can get them?
Thanks,
Dave

Hi Tommy,
I was looking on the kolb List and my Wife mentioned You and we
got to wondering how you were. We trust You are doing well. Weve got plans to
go to sun n fun in April. Let us know how You are. I have my trailer
finnished except for fenders, about 30 screws in the roof, tiedowns, internal
lighting and a few external lights.
Regards;
Ed & Patt Diebel
