Thanks for the input guys. One thing I hope to realize from the custom tank
and enclosing the cabin is a little more storage area, especially on top of
the tank. The top of the tank will be flush with top of the side covering
leaving the window area open, and will provide a shelf for stuff. The fewer
projections I have sticking out the top, the better, so the idea of a vented
filler cap that does triple duty (fill, fill vent, and drain vent) sounds
real good. I haven't started searching the marine supply houses yet, but if
you have the details on your cap, I'd appreciate it Rick. The tank is half
done and I got the wiring harness back in 319DM last night. Nice to see the
panel light up again. Looking forward to finishing up this project. I
used to think I might like building better than flying, but that was before
I had a Kolb.
Thanks,
Duncan McBride

I did find a local place that sells Bombardier Synthetic blend for $20 a

Good morning Aaron there was a big discussion on oil not too long ago, if
you will search the archives its all there. No one agrees on oil.

Aaron,
I am sure Bombardier would not sale junk oil under their name for their
engines, I know that they also endorse Pennzoil 2 cycle oils and that in the
618 which has (exhaust power valves) they want people to use the synthetics.
I am sure if you went with either the Bombardier or Pennzoil synthetics, you
would get great results.
My vote would be for the Pennzoil as it is less expensive and easier to
find.
I use the Pennzoil (Air cooled) 2 cycle oil in my Kolbs 2SI engine, my boys
Yamaha PW 80 minibike, two Husqvarna chain saws, Craftsmen brush cutter,
weedeaters, and Honda 250cc dune buggee, never had any problems or even had
to open the engines up. In my Yamaha YZ 125 dirt bike (exhaust power valve
engine) I use a synthetic racing oil, its a lot more expensive, but I figure
it's best to stick with a manufacturer recomended oil as each engine has
it's own requirements and who knows better than the manufacturer what will
make their engine last?
Sincerely,
Dennis Rowe

Folks I want to thank everyone that sent me pics of
their gap sealer. I think now I have a good idea of
how it looks like, and I have enough to finish that. I
am sure there will be more things that will get me in
trouble with this project.
This list is the only way some of us out in the
boonies can build one of these projects from scratch,
and **by** the plans.

Kolb Mark III Classic - 912
The one question I'm not too sure about is should I get the standard blade or
the taper tip blade. My limited knowledge of this is that taper tips offer
more efficiency at higher cruise speeds. Not sure if that is accurate. Is 70
when I ordered my warp drive from the manufacture I had the same question and was
told " if you will be at high altitudes or plan on opperating on floats you
should use the standard tip. at sealevel and land only operations the taper
tip works great."

Lots of flex in the blade ends. If you mount it on an engine that jumps
around on start/shutdown be sure to have plenty of clearance.

| Subject: | tailwheel spring |
--> Kolb-List message posted by: Steve Kroll <muso2080@yahoo.com>
Kolbers,
A few weeks ago I posted a question about the removal of the original fiberglass
tailwheel spring in my Mk2 to be replaced by the newer solid aluminum spring
rod. Those of you that answered (thanks) suggested it was no big deal and so
I went back at the task with renewed vigor...but with the same results. Not
only could I still not get the fiberglass out of the tailpost assembly, but I
also left fragments of broken drill bits inside. My partner next to me in the
hangar who had been watching me struggle with this for awhile suggested we might
use a concrete bit since this stuff was at least as hard.
It worked great!!
So, for any of you with vintage Kolbs who are contemplating changing out your firberglass
tailwheel springs, I suggest cutting the rod off flush with the end
of the tailpost, drilling a small (1/8 inch) centering hole, and then wailing
away with a concrete bit. An 11/16 inch bit would be perfect for the 3/4 inch
inside diameter tailpost but your centering hole would have to be real accurate.
I used a 5/8 size as I had already goofed up any possibility of centering
the bit. I also raised the tail up and suspended it from the rafters so I could
get at it with some leverage. It still takes some considerable effort, but
it's doable.
I actually broke my fiberglass tailwheel spring (if you can believe that after
hearing how tough the material is) but that's a story for another time.

Yeah, I downloaded that picture back when I was asking how you connected the
stock tanks.. Thanks. The only thing I've come up with so far is
http://www.iboats.com/mall/index.cgi?prod_id=4648&cart_id=983214703
It has a separate fitting for a vent tube - is that how yours works?
Somehow I thought the thing accomodated a hose within a hose kind of
arrangement. Don't know why I thought it was that way. Anyway this one
looks like it would work ok. One thing I have going for me, the cap is
going to be positioned almost directly over the filler neck so incoming fuel
will have a straight shot into the tank. Might be less likely to burp.
Thanks again,

I think your larger reduction ratio has something to do with it
I fly a Firestar II with 3 blade taper-tip, 68" Warp on a 3.47:1 "C"
box. I
outclimb & outrun & outweigh most of the other Firestars at our field.
Use
less gas, too. The only exception is one that flies at a gross of
about 200
lbs less than me.
I don't know what the reason is; could be the Vortex Generators.

Hi Bruce
I will check with a friend of mine he has a rotax that he parted out {no
Pistons} He is out on a truck run now,he will be back middle of the week. I
will see if he has a lighting coil, I will let you know, a 447 503 532
all are the same

So the deal is that this prop only turns at .475 mach assuming
6200rpm and standard day temp/press. The recommended figure of
.88 mach would give boat loads more performance. I've got the
same problem only slightly better at .528 mach since the Hirth only
turns 5200 max with 2.54 ratio. With the same ratio on yours you'd
get .649 mach. You'd have to go to 3250rpm prop range to get up
into the .8 mach regime....
So the question is...just how much performance COULD be had if
prop diameter weren't the limiting factor (at least for the Kolb pusher
range).......

I've been using the MicroAir 760 for almost a year. It has been very
reliable. It mounts in a 2-1/4 round instrument hole so it doesn't take up
much panel space - it's about 8 inches deep. It comes with an intercom that
you can switch on or leave on, it is not voice activated. I have a
Sigtronics SPO-22N intercom hooked up to it and it works just fine. There
is a lot of noise in the Mark III, and the microphones in my headsets pick
it up pretty good, so when the squelch breaks or I hit the PTT switch, I
hear wind and engine noise. That's one reason I'm enclosing the cabin, to
see if that helps. People understand my transmissions ok, its just
annoying. I had the same problem with the handheld I used, a Yaesu VX120.
The handheld worked ok too, I just wanted something in the panel with the
ability to display two frequencies and toggle between them. Also with a
handheld you end up with a mess of cables and adapters. You can save a few
hundred bucks, too. I wouldn't get NAV capability, save the money and get a
decent GPS. I have a Garmin III+, now I wish I'd paid for the Pilot.

Go ahead Craig send them over, I would be interested
in a permanent gap sealer. Any ideas at this early
stage is good. Is your aircraft at home or do you have
it at an airport?
I could drop by and look Sunday, I have a flight up to
Sky Harbor, on the way back I can stop by with my
camera and take some pics.

Ok I'll give you a ring when I get to PHX. It looks
like we may not be timed well on this pass. I gotta
drop them at 10am. After that I usually head to Falcon
for some fuel.
I will have another run to PHX later this week it may
be better timing.

I am also interested in a panel mounted radio, are there any other (cheaper)
options than the M760? Cheapest I see it doing a quick web search is ~$900
Thanks,
Aaron
