Got a suggestion, guys....maybe an answer to two recent lines.
Pick your favorite filter and cut it apart. Next time, pick another
brand and do the same thing, new or used..doesn't matter.
Now, based on what you see as to filter medium and interior
construction, pick the one you want to trust your engine to.
When we bought our new Suby a couple years back, I went to the
dealer to buy a supply of OEM filters. Right on the filter
canniser..."Purolator, made in USA"
I bought ONE and took it home and cut it apart.
Looked pretty good inside. Bought a Pure One (Purolator) and cut it
apart...much more filter medium, denser, and better made inside....worth
the extra three bucks a pop...IMHO anyways. A good filter and frequent
oil changes is the life of any engine.

Right! As I recall, we had to insert ourselves into the traffic, and then
taxi through the jet traffic to parking. Must be the tourist coming/going
to Lake Powell. I vote MV also, was quiet with good facilities.

Kolbers,
Last night while preparing to start wing construction a thought hit me. (scary
concept I know) However here it goes.... During my control surface construction
I chose the "radius" method to eliminate the bumps on the trailing edges. Why
not use small square gussets on the leading edges instead of the way the plans
call for. I made up one out of scrap and used four rivets. Two on the leading
edge and two on the rib. Looks real nice! But is it as strong? Looks stronger.
More work but hey, whole lot cleaner looking.
It's a wet and soggy Thanksgiving day here in swap land. Chief cook and bottle
washer is in Florida.So I guess it's off to the shop for a whole day of building!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

I used gussets at the trailing edge of the surfaces. If I was doing it
again I'd do it as in the original plans. It's plenty strong, light, and
the bumps are distinctive. Ain't nothing going to turn it into a
Lancair....

Obviously still not flying enough John.
In the 912 do you use synthetic oil? A motor glider who has a 912
commented that he runs auto gas as much as possible but if he has to use av
gas as there is a problem where the synthetic will not suspend the lead
like normal oil? Know anything about this?

Paul;
This is the fun of building a kit airplane, you can put a little of yourself into
the project. Milow Tim and I did away with the Holmer bumps altogether. we
made formed ribs with a brake of 2024 sheet like conventional aircraft. they are
lighter no bumps and stronger.
Happy TTTTT!!! day!

My 2 cents worth:
Last year I bought a 1987 Toyota, it had 28,000 miles.
I was in the process of changing my oil and filter when my neighbor, who
has been a Toyota mechanic for 35 years, stopped over. He advised me
that I should either us the "original" Toyota brand filter or a Wix
filter because they have an anti-drainback valve; he said over the the
years he has seen too many engines damaged from people using cheap
filters.
I think the NAPA Gold filter may be a Wix brand.

Probably not. Don't have time to fly all the time.

I have used Mobil I exclusively in 912/912S, except the last
100 hours on the 912S ran Shell Rotella T full synthetic.

The 912/912S were designed to run on auto fuel and auto oil.
I do the same thing, however, on cross country flights it
is difficult to get auto fuel and I run 100LL. Eric Tucker
told me to run Alcor TCP when I run 100LL. I do. Change
oil often cause the synthetic does not hold the lead in
suspension like dino oil does.
Inspection of valve covers, rocker arms, oil tank, and gear
box indicted no lead deposits or contamination in my 912 or
912S.

The Fram "DG" filters have silicone seals and anti-siphon
valve. I could tell the difference between the two. The DG
keeps the oil in the tank from leaking down into the
crankcase during prolonged shutdown.

Chatting with a trike flyer in Ky this past season; He told me that
when they(HKS) had early teething problems, they gave loaner engines to
those affected. I think that he was still flying on the loaner even
though the problem was fixed. Now--what other company would do that??

I agree there hasn't been much dialog this year by list members encouraging
contributions to Matt to help offset the cost of operating the list. This
is one place you get and see some benefit for your donation. Even though
times have been hard for me the last two years, I again this year managed
to scrap up some cash to help support the list. I challenge others to do
the same. I hear people on yahoo group list complain about pop adds and
viruses. How can Matt provide the quality service he does without selling
to advertisers. He can't, it's only through our contributions that help
offset the cost for the internet connectivity and computer equipment and
hopefully, a little left over for him as a reward for his effort. Let's
all do the right thing and support this very valuable resource. Make that
contribution today. Thanks

Geez of all the places I have been to I gotta be

Looking at the map it looks good to me. I will make it
with the Sierra if the M3X isn't done. Looks pretty
nice on the map. But off hand I don't remember being

I can add that I like water (who wouldn't after 20

Ron/All:
I think there is a little more to site selection than a
cursory look at a map. :-(

| Subject: | Spring Steel Gear Legs |
--> Kolb-List message posted by: "Richard & Martha Neilsen" <NeilsenRM@comcast.net>
I just got my new spring steel gear legs installed in my VW powered MKIII. These
are the optional gear legs that the New Kolb sells now for $400+. Thanks to
Bill George who sold them to me slightly used at a bargain price. My plane sits
approximately an inch higher and has a 4 inch wider track. I only have one flight
under my belt with the new gear but they give me a much smoother ride on
my sod strip with little of the cable slap that I normally hear and the landing
is much more cushioned. Bill seemed to think they were too springy but they
are like the gear that were on the Kolb demonstrator (Fat Albert) and they were
just right.
The gear are 2.5 inches longer outside the cage sockets than the aluminum legs
but 6 inches shorter inside the socket. The Old Kolb made the gear legs just like
these but then welded a 6 inch 4130 tube to the socket end to better spread
the landing loads.
I'm concerned that the landing loads are concentrated so much closer to the end
of the landing gear sockets. Yet it would take a really bad landing to transmit
as much stress on the gear sockets as the aluminum gear legs because the steel
gear are so springy. I wonder if it would be possible to weld a pipe on the
socket end like the Old Kolb did without effecting the spring in the steel.
I suppose I could put a sleeve inside the gear sockets and grind the knob on the
socket end so that it fits into the sleeve.
For now I'm happy with the gear but wouldn't recommend the gear at their full price.

Kolbers,
Perhaps it's just the Kolbra plans, but after a day of building and talking via
phone line to others, maybe we could create a thread about building tip's. One
where future builder's could search the archives buy typing "Tip's" if you will.
Not knocking Kolb, however, there is a lot of things that they left unmentioned........
Things like "dip them 3/16" rivets in oil before snapping, or like "Hey
that tail post may be a really tight fit and it may require machining" It's
the little thing's that I have to ask as a first time builder that would have
come in handy had I had this wonderful source of information....
Tip's like gluing the saw horses to the floor. The Laser Level was a sweet find...
This list has provided me with great info and the archives have been helpful but
building "tip's" from factory folks and you guy's are the only thing that has
kept me from bailing out and going "GA"
ben a long day...........
