It does sound good. To bad the exhaust system needs to be
improved/modified. Keep us informed of your progress with the 133M.

John W,
Well monday morn..back at work!...Logged over 5 hours this weekend in the
FireFly,,,beautiful Flying weather in the midwest!
That mov downloaded all right for me also...jeez...that V133 is a big puppy!
Anyway..I dont know if you are going to build the exhaust youself or have it
done. But I want to say that on a 2 cyl 4 stroke...your exhaust system makes
a world of difference in preformance....particularly in the torque. A 2 in
to 1 is generally the most desirable design for the rpms ranges that the
V133 operates at. You may already know all this, But there is a wealth of
info at the Headers by Ed website that might be really worth you looking at,
not to mention he is a great source for mandrel bent tubing and flanges and
such...
here is his link....... http://www.headersbyed.com/
Good luck.

Mine is also higher, but I did not notice any significant change in
pitch/power coupling. A favorable aspect of the higher thrust line is less
prop swirl blast on the vertical stab.
With the 582 and a strong right crosswind it was possible to run out of left
rudder early in the takeoff roll. This effect is markedly reduced with the
Verner higher thrust line.

Yah, now I know how Michiganders are ( and Woody, too, by association)
Issue me an invitation, then all go hide while I'm in the area. Gave me a
complex, it did. Woody even turned his answering machine off, and hid in
his shop. Then he'd have expected me to EAT there ?? Uh-uh...........I
heard about him. Fortunately, many to the east and south were much more
welcoming, and restored my confidence. Some even tolerated me for 2 days !

John,
That's a nice sounding engine. Sounds a lot like my HD.
Do you have any close up's of the mount?

Kolbers,
Can anyone confirm the part number from aircraft spruce for the Lord mounts used
on Kolb's? I have it at LMT01 or LMT02 on page 267. I ordered the engine mount
section of the airframe to make engine mounts for the HD. I plan to weld the
engine mount section to the test stand. Also need to know the angle of the engine
mount in reference to the ground.
Thanks

Paul P,
Since I just recently measured all the angles associated with the airframe,
wing and engine mount, here they are for the Kolbra:
Bottom of wing - 11.5 degrees nose up
Engine mount center tube: 11.5 degrees nose up
These measurements are with the gear legs as far up in the fuselage tube as
they can go.

--> Kolb-List message posted by: "Chuck Davis - Comcast" <davis207@comcast.net>
This weekend the Mid-Atlantic had perfect "Kolb weather" which coincided with the
EAA Chapter 240 fly-in at New Garden (N57). Climbing out due east, I was looking
directly into the morning glare off the Atlantic Ocean across most of the
width of New Jersey.
It was 1hour 25 minute flight from the Princeton, NJ area (N75) to Spitfire Airdrone
(7N7) in South Jersey. Spitefire is so overgrown I wasn't sure the airport
wasn't abandoned until a saw a small line of parked aircraft. There were
even a few souls about. A quick fill up from a 2 gallon can and I was ready to
leave. However, the owner of a RV6 appraoched to inquire about ultralights.
He's worried about the medical and thinking about what he could still fly. After
a 20 minute discussion, I taxied down to see his RV on the way out. Unfortunately,
hidden in some grass was the mother of all ruts. It was the perfect
tank ditch for Kolbs, about 1 foot wide, 8 in deep and perpendicular to the
taxi way. At a 6 mph taxi, It just went over on it's nose with no warning. I'll
be doing some fiberglass work in the future...
Spitfire is right by the Delaware river across from Wilmington, DE. Crossing the
Delaware was beautiful, if a little daunting. Downtown Wilmington on the left,
with the Delaware Memorial Bridge beyond that, and Philadelphia on the right.
A large airport on either side as well: Wilmington County and Philly International.
Fortunately, the restricted airspace lifts to 2500 just prior to
the crossing point so there was comfort in not having any mid-crossing "no option"
zone.
After 25 minutes across DE and into PA, N57 is hidden almost along a ridgeline.
After landing I was directed onto the greass glider strip perpendicular to the
main runway and parked next to 2 Original Firestars owned by Bill Varnes and
his friend Al. Almost immediately they were down to checkout the firefly.
Bill and Al turne out to be great guys, very friendly. Their planes both had
several clever custom mods and they were eager to talk "shop".
After a pleasnt day, we lined up together and left together, each demonstrating
a "Kolb Climbout". Bill and Al stayed with me back across the Delaware then
I headed north and they turned south.
FF 028, now fitted with either a tab or adjustable trim on all three axis, flies
hands and feet off. I was even able to do some 30 degree "S" turns by alternating
leaning and sticking a arm out the cockpit.
The perfect Kolb day.
Total distance: 160nm
Total time: 3 h 40m

Hi Paul
I went throught the plant last Tuesday(I drive by there 3 or 4 times a
year and always stop) and saw that your kit was nearing the shipping
stage. That is good news!
The other good news is that TNK is doing a brisk business! Last fall
at the Fly in Bruce told us that business was the pits!
The bad news is that I still haven't found a Firestar
project/rebuilder!:-( Frugal Herb in Ky(still flying a Zmax; which
ain't all bad!)
