Then all your pressure drop will be at the orifice. Don't use a capillary line for any distance because of the horrendous lag time in the reading. -BB do not archive >> >> >> > > > >

    Subject: Cockpit adjustable trim
    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "John Cooley" <johnc@datasync.com> Hi Gang, Would like to hear some pro's and con's on installing a cockpit adjustable trim tab one of the elevator halves on the Mark III. The Twinstar Mark II uses one and they work very well. Not very pretty but neither is a big ole trim tab on the rudder to offset the P factor of the Rotax 912. Is anyone on the list with a Mark III using this setup. One big advantage is that it could be used for pitch control in the unlikely event that a elevator control cable became inoperable. Any thoughts on this? Later, John Cooley

    From: Scott Trask <sctrask@diisd.org>
    (not processed: message from valid local sender) --> Kolb-List message posted by: Scott Trask <sctrask@diisd.org> Hi On a manual oil gauge the oil line is very small not much larger then the wire that you would use. The likelihood of that line braking is very slim. I thought the same way till I did some of my own experiments with the line. I also checked with some of Rotax Tec. people and they say that a lot of guys are going manual and that's ok. I when though two sender unit and checking both when I install them nether was very accrete. If you can't trust your gauges what good are they. Scott Trask IMT

John C/All: Here is the url: http://www.ntsb.gov/ntsb/brief.asp?ev_id=20001211X11253&key=1 The narrative indicates the adjustable elevator trim was not a factory design. However, IIRC the original Twinstar did have a factor cockpit controlled elevator trim tab. john h DO NOT ARCHIVE

    Subject: Re: Verner Engine
    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "John Williamson" <kolbrapilot@comcast.net> John C. and fellow listers, I have had several inquires about my switch to a different engine on the Kolbra. I will try and explain some of my reasoning. I had this Jabiru 2200 engine in my garage for another project that didn't work out and the Kolbra was the only tandem seat aircraft that advertised the use of the Jabiru that interested me. The Jabiru has proven to be a very dependable engine for me but it has had some short comings. The slow speed of the Kolbra does cause the engine to run near the CHT limits most of the time. The engine just doesn't get the volume of air it needs to stay cool. The direct drive forces you to use a fairly short propeller so the take-off and climb performance isn't as good as if it was powered by a Rotax 912. I do not favor one brand of engine over another and the new Verner 133M on paper looks like a very good alternative to the Rotax. I cruise just fine pushing the Kolbra along at 80-85 mph and burning about 4.2 gph with the Jabiru. The Verner is advertised with a smaller fuel burn. Hopefully the new three blade prop turning a lot slower will quiet the airplane a little, give better acceleration and climb performance. The Jabiru is 80 hp and the Verner 133M is 78 hp. Since the hp rating is real close, my cruise should be about the same but the rest of the performance numbers should improve. I am doing the final little items needed to crank it up for the first time now. The only thing I have to do tomorrow is drill and install the EGT probes and attach the exhaust system. Hopefully I will fire it up just before lunch tomorrow. Over the weekend I will rework the gap seal to fit and put the wings back on and be ready to do a new weight and balance on Monday and be ready to fly. I will post an email with the results of the first few flights with the Verner engine.

    Subject: Alaska 2004
    --> Kolb-List message posted by: John Hauck <jhauck@elmore.rr.com> Hi Gang: Found out recently I have a free Summer next year which opens things up for a flight back to Alaska. What a way to celebrate your 65th year!!! John Williamson and I have been talking about making it a twosome. So John has to get busy and get the Verner flying and squared away for the long trek north. Just got off the phone with Tom Kuffel, Whitefish, MT. He and his wife Betty, were attendees at the Unplanned Kolb Flying 2003 last May at Monument Valley, UT. Anybody else want to tag along? This will be an unofficial, relaxed, enjoyable, exciting, flight. Departing around 1 Jul 2004. Probably take a month or so. The nice thing about it is if you get bored, are too fast or too slow, you can always bail out and do your own thing and go your own way. This is a no strings attached adventure. Will be nice to have company along for a long flight. Of course Tom's Prospector flies much faster than John's Kolbra and my MK III. Sooooooooooo, Tom and Betty can get to the RON site first, set up our tents, and have a hot supper ready for us when we come dragging in. hehehe Plan to do some serious site seeing that I have not had the opportunity to do on my last two flights North. Included will be a flight back up to the North Slope, Dead Horse/Prudhoe Bay, a visit with the Helmericks at Colville Village, 48 miles NW of Dead Horse, and if we make it that far, it is only another 185 miles to Barrow, the top of the world. We are in the talking stage and next Summer will be here before we know it. Anybody else interested? john h Titus, Alabama MK III/912S N101AB
