Ron,
I have the rear windows on my MKII that I bought a few months ago. I would
be happy to send you a paper tracing of them, they are mirror images of each
other. There are bent metal brackets every 6" or so around the edge and some
rubber window trim like found on the windscreen over the curved section.
Because my plane is 13 years old, I can tell you that the metal brackets that
it connects with should be dip coated in some rubber material like they sell
for tool handles or maybe just wrapped in electrical tape before connecting
because they have eaten up the fabric where it connects. I have white duct tape
covering the abrasions until I do a new fabric job sometime in the future.
Not too pretty looking.
Let me know if you want a tracing, I have not found any plans for them.
Charlie Blackwell, MKII 503DCDI, IVO 3blade

Kolbers,
If you drill a hole in the wrong place in the horz stab tubing should you scrap
that piece and start over or will it be ok to leave the hole?

Hi fellow Kolbers; Well it is time to sell. All good things come to an end
some time. After 225 hours of great flying I now find my self with a bad back
and a boy who is grown and no longer has time to fly. I
I have made a little sales/spec. sheet with a picture on it and would like
any suggestions on how I should try and market this grate lil plane.
Is there a place to post it on this Forum? Would any one be interested?
Thanks so much for any information you may be able to give
Respectfully
Bill

PP, how big a hole? :) If it's only a 1/8 rivet hole don't worry about
it, especially
if you can locate it off the top or bottom where it won't affect
strength and show
a dimple through the fabric. The same can't be said for the rib tubing.

Al,
Regarding dihedral, Homer told me he put in the small amount of dihedral
just because people thought it looked better. From that, I would assume it
is not necessary.

Hi Paul,
It is the upward angle of the wings from horizontal usually expressed in
degrees. The more dihedral in the wings, the more the plane will try to
correct itself from a bank and fly in a natural or neutral attitude. I'm
sure some of the engineer types can explain it better.

Hi Gang,
Thanks for all the info on doing the fiberglass repairs. I will probably do
a combination of some of the recommendations. I'm thinking that I will put a
thin saw cut down the center of the low spot and then add more fiberglass
mat and resin on the underside to try and get it close to the original
contour lines and then finish on the top of the nose pod with the super fil.

Many Thanks,

Paul,
The non-technical definition of dihedral: if both wings are aligned flat
across the bottom with each other then they have no dihedral. If you lift
each wing tip up an equal amount (an inch or a foot or whatever), that's
dihedral. Dihedral adds stability to your airplane. Because of the dihedral,
the high wing, in a steep bank, will produce less lift than the down wing
which will therefore drop causing the airplane to stabilize back to level
flight. Kolbs only have and inch or so of dihedral and that's mainly to keep
the airplane from looking like the wings are drooped. That's the short
answer.

| Subject: | Rotax shutting down 2 cycle line? |
--> Kolb-List message posted by: Bill Vincent <emailbill@chartermi.net>
Hi Kolb Flyers
After reading the letters about 2 cycle engine oils, I would have to
agree that most of the modern oils that are rated for the air-cooled
engines ( not water cooled boat motors ) at the 50:1 mixtures are good.
I remember years ago when they mixed motor oil with the gas in boat
motors and you could see the oil slick going up the river.
I don't know how much longer the 2 cycle oil argument will go
on...because this summer at Oshkosh I visited the Rotax tent and the
gentleman working there told me Rotax is shutting down their 2 cycle
line in 4 - 5 years.

--> Kolb-List message posted by: <rowedl@highstream.net>
Kolbers
Just got back from two hours of Kolbing with my buddy Jay.
We tried out our new Rad Electronics intercom and headsets for the first time,
they worked great. Seemed to be darn near as good as the Lynx system that I have
tried in another friends Buckeye Dream machine. It sure is nice to fly without
all the static that you get with a Gen Av intercom and headsets.
So far the 2SI is running great, wound up with two size leaner pilot jets, and
one size leaner mains from stock. She pulls 6350 WOT at 80mph level flight, seems
a little slower than I thought it would be on the top end.
I only pull 5820 rpm at 50 mph climb so I am not going to add any pitch to the
prop to lower the level flight rpm.
Solo climb rate at 50 mph is 1100 fpm from 1000 ft msl field and around 800 fpm
dual.
5200 rpms gives 60mph cruise speed, again a little slower than expected. Fuel burn
seems to be on the low side of 4gph.
I have not installed the bookbinding tape gap seals on the flaps and ailerons,
do you guys think that will help the performance?
I kind of thought it would make a good place for dirt and water to settle so I
have left them off so far.
Anyway, that's how things are going in PA.

After using Pennzoil Aircooled pre-mixed in my 503 for 380 hours, I have
started using Pennzoil Full Synthetic for 2 stoke outboard engines. Costs about
$2 more per pint. I've only run about 2 hours so far on the synthetic, will
give a report when I get about 100 hrs. on it & look at the piston tops.

Denny/All:
You can put the aileron/flap gap seals on or an additional
2SI to get it to 85 mph.
Seriously, I would think the airplane would fly much better
and drag would be greatly reduced with the addition of gap
seals.
Or leave them off, fly cleaner and slower. :-)

Turn the question around and ask it another way:
"If I take a chain saw and cut a couple 3/8" wide slots across the back of
the wing ahead of the ailerons and flaps, do you guys think it will hurt my
performance?"
Sorry, couldn't resist...

OK, I should have known a question like that would bring out the real ball
busters on the list. :-)
But seriously, I have talked to a lister who built and flies a Firefly and
who will remain unnamed as to avoid collateral flamming who says he really
does not see a differance between tape and no tape, he has flown with tape
and without, with tape on one wing and not on the other and really did not
feel any differance. Maybe with the Mk-3 having two gaps instead of one
like the Fly it is more pronounced not having tapes?
Really, please let me know if you have flown both with and without the
tapes, what model you fly and what differance did you observe, I won't add
em unless I know they make a noticable differance in performance.
If it isn't on the plane, you don't have to maintain it. Keep it simple
(cause I'm) stupid, or somthing to that effect.

Boyd,
One way to keep engine ignition static down is to place the mag kill switches back
on the engine. If you do not run grounding wires to the cockpit, they can
not radiate the noise to the radio.
I used such a system on the Victor 1+ and the ignition noise in the radio disappeared.
I had a switch failure on the first thing I tried, but I have changed
to a more rugged switch. So far it is working well.
It can be seen on the bottom of:

| Subject: | [Please Read] SPAM Filter Could Be Causing Posting Problems |
For Some Members...?
--> Kolb-List message posted by: Matt Dralle <dralle@matronics.com>
Dear Listers,
Matronics is now utilizing a SPAM filter appliance to filter out the
excessive amounts of inappropriate email that bombards the Email List
Forums each day. The filter is reporting that over 66% of the email
messages sent to Matronics email destinations are of SPAM content and
reviewing the logfiles, it would appear to be true. That is indeed great!
While the Lists are enjoying the breath of fresh air afforded by the new
appliance, I am suspecting that a few legitimate email List posts are being
blocked as too, although I can't confirm this. It is difficult to churn
through the logfiles looking though thousands of blocked email messages
trying to determine if any legitimate List posts were blocked.
If you suspect that your posts are accidently being blocked by the SPAM
filter appliance, I have created a new Trouble Report web page that will
allow you to report your problems directly to me without having to use
email. If the SPAM filter is blocking your email address for some reason,
then its likely that I wouldn't be able to receive your direct email
regarding difficulty in posting. The web form bypasses the incoming email
and directs your message directly to me.
Please include as much information as possible regarding the problems you
are having including any bounced email or email error messages that you may
have received back in regard to your posts to the lists. The more
information I have about the email you are sending and what the errors you
are receiving, the better chance I'll have in hunting down the problem.
The Trouble Report Website URL is:
http://www.matronics.com/trouble-report/
I apologize for any inconvenience the SPAM filter may be causing you. I
will work toward resolving your issues as quickly as possible.
Best regards,
Matt Dralle

| Subject: | Re: Firestar II Questions - wheel alignment |
--> Kolb-List message posted by: Ben Ransom <bwr000@yahoo.com>
Regarding the wheel alignment...
I'm guessing 1" non-alignment measured 4 feet in front is borderline
acceptable, but not good over the long term. I feel that toe-in error
is worse than toe-out. The reasoning: If a plane lands touching one
main wheel first, it is generally associated with a little side drift
of the plane in the same direction -- i.e. right drift and bump the
right wheel down first. If that wheel is toed out, there would be a
little self correction. If toed in, there would be that tad bit
worsening effect of turning the plane to the left, i.e, inclination
toward ground loop. It is for this reason that I made my axle fittings
toe out -- not a lot, but enf to be sure I didn't leave them toed in.
Al, if you do feel inclined to change the alignment, you could do so by
welding the holes in the axle fittings closed, then align and redrill.
