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.

We are RVing it. Not sure whether I will bring the firestar or not. Havent decided. This is more of a lookie lu flyin for me. Gonna get some imput for possible use on my new slingshot. almost finished building the instrument panel today. only took about fifteen hours! real nice and functional. still needs some work but what the heck - more fun, right? Just wish I would quit waking up at three in the morning wide awake although I get a lot of work done in the cool of the morning. makes a long day though. glad I dont have to work for a living. will see ya all there.

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. ________________________________ Message 9 _____________________________________ Time: 01:59:57 PM PST US From: "Jon Croke" Subject: Kolb-List: Lithium vs dielectric grease --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Jon Croke" 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.

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 ________________________________ Message 11 ____________________________________ Time: 02:30:47 PM PST US From: "Paul Petty" Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Lithium vs dielectric grease --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Paul Petty" Jon, There is a lithium grease that auto mfg. uses in the lamp socket to seal out moisture. I will look into my inventory to see what's available.

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 ________________________________ Message 14 ____________________________________ Time: 03:15:03 PM PST US From: RFG842@aol.com Subject: Re: Kolb-List: 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.
