In the same vein......................I ordered a sheet of lexan a couple of
years ago, cut in 1/2, so that it'd ship in a 4 ft square package. Had to
come by truck from Corona to here - about 60 miles, and about a dollar a
mile. Next time, I'll go get it myself. Lar.

--> Kolb-List message posted by: "Ed Steuber" <esteuber@rochester.rr.com>
Ronnie,
The original Ultrastar is a great machine as is....the original intentions
for the design were met but with any good design there is always somebody
that thinks he can make it better......My problem was created by myself after
modifying the cage by streamlining it and putting in a center line stick. The
Ultrastar was cruising at much higher cruise speeds and with normal Cuyuna
power settings was going too fast for the aileron response that was very disturbing
when a steep bank was initiated at these higher speeds. The Ultrastar would
tend to stay in the bank or increase it even with opposite aileron. Top rudder
was usually the way to get it level again but it just did not feel right
to this old Agcat pilot. Usually when you change something on a homebuilt you
create a chain reaction that you start chasing and sometimes never catch.....but
I don't take my own advice and just go nuts...
Richard...I really want to add the ends to the ailerons and incorporate
the balance weights.... I was already thinking about a solution to the .028
tubes.....to err on the safe side I was thinking of replacing both with .049
and adding some angle to the bottom wing ribs (as per previous advice) for
added compression strength to help the wing warp at higher cruise speeds. I am
also adding the steel ring at the butt rib for the same reason.....I think I
will also make the end hinge much longer to take the extra load at the wing tip.......more
weight and no longer a true ultralight....the chain reaction keeps
getting worse....now I gotta get it inspected cause it will be too heavy...
AAARGH !
Ronnie... don't change a thing ! ! Just fly it and "be happy"
.

Mk-3 drivers,
What figure did you all use for the pilot/passenger cg point when working your
weight and balance sheets?
I get 2.5 to 3 inches in front of the leading edge datum point, just want to check
against what others measured.
Denny Rowe
Denny when i weighed a couple months ago i weighed the plane empty then with me
in it... subtracted out the diferences in the wheel weights and calculated -3
1/2 inches..... for what it is worth i do not have original seats.... but they
are very close to the cg figures i had with the original.

Bill and others looking for insurance:
I am the committee chairperson for the USUA insurance committee and USUA is
working very hard to find insurance. We have some leads but at this time we
have not been able to put together a program. If anyone knows a company
offering insurance, please let me know so I can contact them. I recommend
you monitor the USUA Web page www.usua.org to keep up to date on what is
going on with insurance.
USUA had offered insurance for $155 but only 300 people purchased the
coverage so the underwriter pulled the plug on the program. That left
Mahoney as the lone source for insurance and they are no longer taking phone
calls. I was told that JMB Insurance www.jmbins.com could write a $250,000
policy with a $5,000 deductible for $750 per year. JMB is not endorsed by
USUA.
I anyone can help with the insurance problem, please contact me.

Thanks Boyd,
It looks like I am going with the 3 inch measurement for FAA inspection, if I use
2.5" my cg goes past 37% with emty tanks and my 185# butt in the seat.
Using 3" I just make it inside the rear cg limit throughout my fuel range which
is 0 - 60 pounds.
This baby is going to be quite the hauler, with full fuel and myself, I have 280#
of room under the max gross limit of 1000#.
My foreward cg limit of 20% cord would require a 450# passenger with a belly button
12 inches in front of mine to reach. We should have plenty of elevator trim
to handle passengers.
One problem I have is that my co-owner Jay Swager only weighs 145# soaking wet,
so I'll have to come up with some kind of removable ballast on the passenger
side floor pan for Jay to fly solo.
The 23rd is coming fast, I'm still trying to get all the i's dotted and t ' s crossed
before inspector man gets here.

Denny,
I weigh 165# and did the removable ballast thing when testing my plane. I
fastened a small duffel bag in the nose, got some lead shot, packaged it in
zip lock bags, 5 lbs per bag, put them in the duffel bag and zipped it shut.
I was then able to remove 5 lbs at a time and test fly. I no longer use any
ballast.

Group,
Im getting ready to order the 447 engine kit for my firefly now
that I finally finnished building my enclosed trailer. Does the firefly come
with a prop spacer or does it need one? I was at a flyin last weekend &
there was a guy there with a firestar11 . He showed me the ding he had in the
aileron tube. He said that he got the ding when the Ivo prop struck the tube
just after start up. It looked like he had plenty of clearance. Is the Ivo
more prone to this problem or is it a problem with all composite props? I
just want to do all I can to keek this from happening to me
Comments,

Ed,
A prop spacer is a good idea. Mine came with the parts kit that included the IVO
propeller too from the old Kolb Company. I assume the spacer was made by IVO.
The best I remember is that IVO recommends a minimum of five inch clearance
between the blade and the nearest part of the plane.
It is easy to measure how close the propeller comes to the aileron tubes while
flying. See:

Good luck,

--> Kolb-List message posted by: "Ed Bonsell" <ebonsell@earthlink.net>
.....there was a problem with the weld on the aft bellcrank breaking on a few......
Thanks for the responses Ralph and John,
This also happened to a Firestar kept outside at the field I flew out of. It was
surmised that the plane was left tied down for an unknown period of time without
the stick tied down. The resulting whipping back and forth in the wind eventually
broke the weld.
I have seen my ailerons whip back and forth so I always tie the stick down when
I'm not in it outside.
A quick builder for the old Kolb Co. I know said they started sending out the little
Z shaped fittings after a few bolts broke.
Does anyone know the specs? I checked my bolt and there are no sign of cracks.
I was never very heavy handed on the stick but as long as I'm rebuilding I might
as well put one on.
Sincerely,
Ed Bonsell

Ed,
If Rotax just would come out of the Stone Age and put an advance curve
in their ignition so we wouldn't have to start our engines at full advance,
and watch our planes go through the shakes on every start, no one would need
a spacer. But as it is, Ivo's are best used with a spacer.

The reason you only got 300 was the stipulations you had. Their were so
many USUA you had ta's, that it severely limited who could qualify or would
want to go through all the bull. Last time I seen it I would have to be a
member, register as a pilot, and have completed a training course with a
BFI flying a type of airplane that I do not fly. I couldn't
qualify. Being GA background and sticking to 3 axis aircraft, I found I
had little difficulty making the transition to UL aircraft. My hangar
partner and myself would have purchased liability for that amount and maybe
memberships but ..... to many hoops and too much entanglement to make
money within USUA at the time. I'm more interested in liability and
protection for fire or theft, less interest for hull in motion. Nobody is
listening here, not EAA, nor USUA. Head up their ass AOPA just wants to
provides sources for life insurance while their membership needed hangar
and liability insurance. As a result USUA only gets the subscription fee
for UL Flying magazine and may not get that much longer.

When I got my FireFly kit back in 95, it was part of the engine/prop
kit. Not sure what the new company includes. Dennis told me the spacer
put the prop in cleaner air thus reducing the vibration and noise level as
blades passed the trailing edge of the wing.

I saw a few weeks ago Jim gerken has his 582 for sale, I know jim and if I
needed a 582 I would jump on this and think more of it than a new one, this
engine has been great for him and I know how much detail he put into taking
care of it.
anyone who needs a 582 should grab this one, it is better than new.

That IS great news, Paul. Just to keep you interested; until that thing
flies, remember - you'll only own a "Ground-Hawg." What'll it be when
flying ?? "Hawg-Heaven ??" Hmmmm, lessee.....................Cessna made
the "Sky Hawk," so maybe yours can be the "Sky Hawg ??" :-) Good
Luck to ya ! ! ! Lar. Do not Archive.

Has anyone looked at the Aero Vee 2002 engine as a possibility for use on
the MKIII?

Noel,
The direct drive VW's are better suited for the faster planes like the
Sonex. At Kolb speeds, you need a reduction on the VW's to get good
performaance. Than they get a little on the heavy side, but we do have a
few Mk-3 drivers here on the list with reductions on their VW's, some flying
and at least one soon to be.
