Now , when you take it all apart, you need a system of marking all the hinges ( LW1 & LA1 ) and so on....and draw the plane on a piece of paper and make notes to double check their positions.... because it's probly going to be apart awhile, There was ALOT more to that "fabric stage" than I thought.... but if you have alot of room it might go alittle faster... Well, I hope it goes fast for you because your engine warranty will be ticking away... Gotta Fly... Mike SNIP>>>>>>>> Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Reservation/Registration From: CaptainRon --> Kolb-List message posted by: CaptainRon Well i made good progress today as well. Both wings for the first time were mated to the cage. the Struts were drilled and mated, I will have two sets of struts one with diehdral and one pair without. Just curious to see if there is any difference. It was a great feeling to see it with the wings opened and looking like a flying machine. Tomorrow I will install the control horns for the flaprons, and fabricate the cables for the rudder and elevators. I can actually see the end in sight. I guess I will write a check for a motor this coming week, and start thinking about covering and final paint. A while ago someone mentioned that there is a site where I can try and get a unique registration number. Does anyone still know the URL for that. Sure would like to try and get a number reserved. I don't know if I'll be done in time for that fly up in Nevada or wherever it is, but it will be close. ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 08:41:28 AM PST US From: Ken Korenek Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Newly registered --> Kolb-List message posted by: Ken Korenek Larry Bourne wrote: > --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Larry Bourne" > > That's great news, Ken. When will you make your 1st flight ?? Big Lar, The ink wasn't dry on the logbook and I was off on my first legal flight. Put in 3.5 hrs before thunderstorms grounded me. My DAR gave me a pretty generous flight test area and I'm out there burning gas and poking holes in the wild blue- I'm clicking off the clock at a steady pace as well. I hope to polish off the 10 hours by Monday evening- got only 6.5 hours to go. The inspection process, paperwork preparation and log book signing was fairly uneventful. I went over it all several times in the preceding days to make sure everything was done before the big event. John Williamson was a BIG help in getting me ready. He is a very knowledgeable and meticulous person and was kind enough to lend a hand. I appreciated all is help so much that I made him do the double cross lock wiring on the control cable turnbuckles- I'm such an SOB! The DAR did take notice of the fine work and I begrudgingly give credit to John... A word of advice to all who are planning to register as experimental- file your application for registration early, send it certified mail with proof of delivery and call them at least once a week to check on your progress through the system. I was lost in the system- excuse me, I was "misplaced." The FAA can not "loose a file, only 'misplace' it." I spent a good bit of time dealing with the bureaucracy and only with persistence and some well placed calls by me and my DAR did I get "found" and registration issued. The only reason it was resolved in the time frame it was is because I had proof that they did indeed receive my package. That was a well spent $5 for certified mail. Everyone I talked to was very pleasant, but it is a bureaucratic monster that must be dealt with. By the way, make copies of everything you send them just in case you have to resend if you can't be located. In retrospect, putting the registration package together- I got conflicting direction from the FAA and their directives- and "being lost in the system" was the only unpleasant/aggravating part of the process. The rest of the process was fairly straight forward with few unexpected surprises. If anybody wants more detail, feel free to call. Want to register my powered parachute next. My DAR groaned and denied having ever met me... Gotta' go fly- daylight and smooth air's awastin'... Ken -- Do Not Archive ********************* Ken W.

Who was just saying they gonna write a check for an engine next week?.....hmmm.....Good luck with your choice.....I hate it....but with the current world feelings towards Canada, and several European countries, I can see how their stock prices are gonna go down, and they will be forced into cutting in areas that effect our needs. These Talking heads on TV create most of the trouble I think..just cause they like to stir things up...but there can be no doubt that they are effective..about all ya see besides the war on TV is the movement by American investors to divest themselves of these controversial countries assets and foriegn stocks.

It is a pretty good illustration to the fact that a politicans motivation to cater to the big money is much stronger than any motivation he might have to serve the public good. In Chicago, it is pretty well understood that you buy votes with goverment welfare, and , as in most huge metro areas...the number of goverment jobs...welfare recipients...and goverment contract dependant employment can provide a politician with plenty of votes to stay in power, no matter how corrupt the administration is. Promise to keep a goverment check in the mailbox every friday...and you will get the vote! Here is a bit of illinois trivia for us to ponder... 2000 Census data.... population of illinois........... .= 12,400,000 population of cook county .= 5,500,000 Pop of surrounding 5 counties .=3,000,000 Illinois has 102 counties....almost 70% of the population is in cook county and the surrounding 5 counties.

This has been probably the most researched decision in this whole project. there are several engines that can do the job. It comes down to bang for the buck. I pretty much decided that they are all equally reliable when properly maintained and treated. The only thing that remained a constant was the requirement for 100hp. I will post a message as soon as I enter a name in the "To" section of the check. ========================= ----- Original Message ----- From: "woody" Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Reservation/Registration > --> Kolb-List message posted by: woody > > > > > > I guess I will write a check > >for a motor this coming week, and start thinking about covering and final > >paint. > > > What engine did you decide to go with? > > ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 10:20:16 AM PST US From: "CaptainRon" Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Looks like an airplane --> Kolb-List message posted by: "CaptainRon" I don't know yet if I made the right choice or not but my hinges are already on permanent.

I looked everywhere, but where did I find the information? The list of course. I am getting everything ready to go pick up the Mark III from Oroville Ca on the 19th. Of course like all the rest of you waiting is the hardest part. Patience has never been one of my better features. I am fixing a inflight refueling system that will cover my unfamilarity with the 582 and its fuel consumption. I am figuring 5 gph, but with only 10 gal available and a leg of 117 nm I prefer a little insurance. I discussed the idea some time ago on the list. I have ordered a facet fuel pump from AC Spruce, and I intend to velcro it to the floor pan on the passenger side, just under the seat, have a pick up tube to go to a five gal gas container, with the other line going to the fuel tank on the plane. I have drilled and tapped the cap to one of the stock tanks to accept a fuel shut off valve. The pick up tube will also be tapped into the gas cap on the container. Everything should be tight, no sloshing or dripping inside the plane. I think I will get a halon extingusher as well. I may be impatient, but I try to be careful as well. thanks Larry ________________________________ Message 20 ____________________________________ Time: 02:31:55 PM PST US From: "G. T.
