I am hoping the same shutter bug will inspire you to click away at this upcoming KOLB Fly-In. It sure inspires us Kolbers that are still in the building mode to finish up and start making it to some of these great events. Take care, Tim Gherkins Firestar II w/ 503 DCDI, 3blade Powerfin, ready to paint. -----Original Message----- From: John Williamson [mailto:kolbrapilot@comcast.net] Subject: Kolb-List: Octoberlite fly-in --> Kolb-List message posted by: "John Williamson" <kolbrapilot@comcast.net> I understand the annual Shane Smith Memorial Octoberlite fly-in will be the weekend of Oct. 17,18 and 19.

    Subject: Rotax 503 Intake Manifold for single carb wanted
    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Bruce Harrison" <firestarii@hotmail.com> Hello listers: I've tried trolling for an intake manifold for Rotax 503 Single Carb on various sites on the Internet and have come up mostly empty. Just thought I'd try a shot at our list of "experimenters." I have a late model 503 DCDCDI and after comparing experiences with flying a single-carb 377 and then this engine for the last 50 hours, I have decided I prefer the single carb. My feeling is that I don't need the extra 4 horsepower as much as I'd like to have the lighter feel on the throttle, a single throttle and choke cable instead of all the splitters, the slightly improved fuel economy, and the ability to switch jets in half the time. Anybody go the other way on this experiment (single carb to dual) and have the single manifold available? Email me description and price off list please. Thanks.

    Subject: Lithium vs dielectric grease
    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Jon Croke" <jon@joncroke.com> I checked the archives and couldn't find any info on the following : The Rotax 912 service manual talks about making good electrical connections on its electronic module and to avoid leakage currents by using LITHIUM grease on all wire connections. I can find DIELECTRIC grease at the automotive store described to be used for about the same purpose..but not LITHIUM grease. Are these two greases the same thing or related? Scanning at the internet I see that lithium grease comes in a lot of flavors and uses beyond electrical connections... Are both of these greases good conductors, esp at very low voltages?? (CHT/EGT pin connections) Thanks for any info on this confusion. Jon near Green Bay CH 701 ready for inspection Firestar II www.joncroke.com

    Subject: Fiberglass work
    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "John Cooley" <johnc@datasync.com> Hi Gang, Would like some advice from some of the list members who have experience in working with fiberglass. The nose cone of my MK III has a slight dished in area in the most obvious place, right on top and in the center of the nose pod. The depression is about 12 inches long and maybe 4 inches or so wide. What would be the best way to build this area up and get a good round contour to match the rest of the nose pod? Thanks, John Cooley

    Subject: TCP
    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Duncan McBride" <duncanmcbride@comcast.net> John H has mentioned using Alcor TCP in 100LL to reduce lead fouling. I'm faced with having to buy 100LL on the way up to the fly-in and was just wondering, am I going to find that in any autoparts store? I can't remember seeing it anywhere, but then I haven't been looking either. Looking forward to seeing everybody - Duncan McBride Mark III, 319DM

    Subject: Re: Fiberglass work
    --> Kolb-List message posted by: RFG842@aol.com John Any depression more than 1/8" deep should be filled with glas cloth & resin to bring it up to the desired contour. Sand the area with 60 or 80 grit down to clean structure and build the area with cloth & Aeropoxy resin. After cure I sand & finish with an automotive 3M finishing putty and their high fill primer. Sanding with 180, 220 & 350 wet and it's ready for the finish paint. PS If there is any structural integrity involved, be sure to overlap to good structure by two inches in all directions. Small depressions can be filled with a mixture of resin and micro beads (glas beads). No strength to this mixture. Remember even epoxy will peel of a smooth surface. Roughen it up so the epoxy has a chance to grab the surface it's attached to. Good luck Bob, Wichita
