Richard Pike,
I copied them from a picture in Ultralight Fying years back. A Canadian
company was offering them. It is basically a .049 piece of 6061-T6 aluminum
sheet inlaid in the tip of the prop with a 90 degree bend in it (about 3/4"
high) that also extends beyond the trailing edge about 3/4". It looks like
a Prince P-Tip prop. It cuts out much of the prop tip's vortex & redirects
it as thrust, while lowering the noise level. On a 50" prop it gave me a
12% increase in thrust and climb rate & a 12% decrease in fuel burn and rpm
for a given speed. For a 60" prop it made a 10% difference. The 50" was a
2 blade & the 60" was a 3-blade, both were different brands as well. The
p-tip plates were inlaid, JB Weld epoxied & screwed together with 3
stainless steel flush mounted screws. No rocket science involved, just need
to make sure the bends have a proper radius & be careful with maintaining
balance. If you are making 270lbs static thrust they'll put you over the
300lb mark & that's a kick in the pants you can feel. You get more power,
burn less fuel, make less noise, you end up with a tougher prop, & its
virtually free. I just sold my prop & converted 582 SeaDoo engine to a guy
in GA, so I can't get a picture. I'm trying to get my son to make me a
website to detail my conversion of the Chevy Sprint Turbo 3 cyl engine.
Maybe I'll get a drawing up on it.

Got back from the Monument Valley trip Saturday evening. What a great
trip, and so cool just looking down that patch of dirt and seeing so many
Kolbs with the beautiful red cliffs in the background. The early morning
flights when the light made everything glow were spectacular. Big Lar has
the list of people, but by my memory, it was attended by John Hauck
(Alabama), Larry Bourne (California), Boyd
Young (Utah), Dave and Eva (?) Pelletier (Arizona), Jim Heffner (Arizona),
John Williamson (Texas), Dave Rains (Texas), Dennis Kirby (New Mexico), Tom
and Betty Kuffel, and myself, with wife Sonja and daughter Kendall
(California). Lar, did I forget anybody? The weather was fantastic, and I
flew each morning and afternoon, except for when I took the ground tour.
Lar's photos captured the essence, but I'll try to share a few more photos
of interest on the Matronics Photo share.
The place emptied out on Wednesday, and just wasnt the same once all those
Kolbs left. The wife and kid and I left and went to Page, AZ., gawking at
the Glen Canyon dam, Lake Powell, and then doing a a 1/2 day raft trip down
the Colorado River, going from the dam down to Lee's Ferry. From there,
continued over for more gawking at the Grand Canyon on Friday before
driving home.
My answering machine at home had a message from John H indicating that he
had made it over the Sierra and through Yosemite before heading south and
landing at my home airport, Santa Ynez. Sounds like he moved on since
neither I nor his other local buddy were around. Folks, this guy is an
animal! The journeys and mileage this guy is cranking out in his Kolb are
unbelievable! I salute you John, and was thrilled to hang out with you for
a few days in a great spot.
When I first got interested in ultralights about four years ago, this trip
was a dream of mine. Now its been done, and the great group of people that
were there to share it with made it that much better. I would gladly do it
all again, and I know there is plenty of sightseeing left to do within an
easy days flight from MV. Its not too early to start planning

Sorry Erich, you missed Dave Rains' friend Ziggy (??) from Bavaria. Nice
fella. I didn't publish names on the website for privacy concerns, but
should have thought of it for the List. Thanks. Sounds like you had a nice
trip home. Last year, when I ran my boat up from Lee's Ferry to Glen Canyon
Dam ("Traveling - Grand Canyon" on my website) I shut the motor off from
time to time on the way back downstream, and just listened to the river. It
was great. Didn't know you could go on a 1/2 day float................that
would be even better - much better. If you like, send some of your pics
to me, and I'll make a web page for you..............much quicker than
waiting for photoshare. I'd sure like to see them. Lotsa viewpoints and
interpretations. What about the rest of you guys who were there ?? On
the way home, just west of Lee's Ferry, (I went from Lee's Ferry, thru St.
George, and down thru Vegas) I spotted the airport at Marble Canyon, that we
had talked about over the fire one evening. Not far from lodging, and not
much farther to very reasonable ($10.00/day) camping near the boat launch.
Might just make a nice trip one day. Long Rangin'
Lar..................who prob'ly won't fly Vamoose till after vacation, now.
:-( Sorry, folks. Do not Archive.
P.S. - How long did your daughter's Navaho hairdo last

WOW monument valley was great..... I have started this about 3 or 4 times
but i cant ever seem to get the words to express the feelings. It seemed
like everyone in the group had been friends for such a long time.. and the trip
only seemed to make everyone closer. It was fun to sit and chat together
and hear some of the stories that we havent shared on the net. I have learned
a great respect for John H and John W. as their trips are continuing....
I put on about 1000 air miles and their trips are going to be in the 4000 mile
range. I remember on the way down the first 4 hours or so was a great adventure.......
then the last hour and a half to two seemed to take forever....
I think that some of the desert in southern Utah is only there to keep the other
parts of the state further apart. Since I have been home my wife had decided
that it is warm enough to go flying and has had me take her up for 2 1/2
hours the last few days.
Larry, have you had a chance to find out what is wrong with your camera? It
was good to know that the pictures on your memory stick did not get erased.
I have not been able to get my digital camera to talk with my computer....
It starts out like it will work then at the time it should start downloading
pictures everything just stops....I think it is the computer, not the camera.
On the trip home i picked up one of the disposable cameras for pictures of
rainbow bridge and lake powell.. I hope they turn out.... if not I suppose
that I will have to do the trip again.
As soon as I get my camera and computer in a chating mood or get the other pictures
back I will get something uploaded to the web sight.

Hello Larry and friends.
I have been here, but have not had anything interesting to say. Just lurking
and enjoying all your input.
The pictures from Monument Valley were great. I really enjoyed them.
Yes, we could have the next fly-in up here in Iceland. Anyone who dares to
cross the Atlantic in a Kolb,( or any other flying thing)
will get free room and board at my place.
Always enjoy your post, Larry.
Best wishes to all Kolb flyers and builders.
Johann from Iceland.

Snuffy, I'm sure a lot of Kolbers know exactly how you feel. I know I do.
One cannot have a better friend and it is a loss that stays with us. I lost
my Rottie "Moosie", my good pal of ten years in December. Buried her in the
upper pasture and planted a young Ohia tree over her grave.
Thought I wouldn't want another pup, but did relent and now have a wonderful
young Rott named "Ella". You will never replace your loss but don't be
afraid to get into a new relationship with another well chosen pup. You
won't regret it.

Hi Guys,
Just got in from the "World's Smallest Airshow" at Brian Ranch, Llano (Yeah
Larry, "Yano") Ca. It is the end of a great nine-day trip. Started at our Black
Mesa Flyers fly-in at Paulden, AZ. Turnout was poor, but we had a good time
anyway. From there - Monument Valley. Wow! what can I say that hasn't been
said in pictures and words. It was fabulous. Thanks to God for putting it
there, and thanks to the Navahos for making it accessible. A great bunch of
guys and a great time.
From there, off to Brian Ranch in my motor home, towing my MK III. Those of
you at MV know I had a terrible time with the instrument panel, so said to hell
with it, and detoured to Paulden to pick up my "For Sale" Firestar. Did the
switch and was on my way and spent the night with friends at Needles airport.
Great place to fly and see the Colorado River sights. Now Jim, you had problems
and so did I. But I was kinda lucky in one sense of the word because I
blew out an inside dual just out of Barstow. It could have happened half way
between Needles and ??? Found out a Goodyear dealer was in Victorville, so limped
in there. They had tires at the warehouse and "made me a deal" on two of
them - $620. Not much else I could do but put them on. They couldn't get the
lug nuts off with their wimpy tools and had to use my breaker bar. Kept a
close watch on them and had to remind them twice that the threads were left hand.
Anyway, got going after five hours and somehow got 20 miles in the wrong
direction. (My friends have heard me gripe for years about California signs,
and now I've got a new example.) Got back right and made Brian Ranch that evening.
Absolutely wonderful UL strip and facilities. Great airshow! Not the Thunderbirds
or Blue Angels, but fun nevertheless. Jack and Felice Brian are wonderful
hosts. T'was a bit windy and dust devils kept things interesting. There
were 40 to 50 UL's on Saturday, and a few less on Sunday. Bomb Drop, Torpedo
Run and Spot Landing contests were fun, especially with wind gusts to keep things
really interesting. And guess what - some guy by the name of Johu Hauck
dropped in with "Miss P'fer". He stayed Saturday and left in a blaze of glory
on Sunday afternoon. Glad you made it, John.
I flew a bit over four hours at MV and the same at Brian. Flew for 1:15 this
morning, then packed up and drove just under 500 miles today. Gonna sleep
good tonite. During those nine days I met a great bunch of folks at Monument
Valley and another fine bunch at Brian Ranch.
Life is good,
AzDave
