--> Kolb-List message posted by: snuffy@usol.com
Captain Ron,
I've known just a few captains in my life but one in
particular sticks in my mind. Captain Schumaker He was my company
commander when I was in A-company, 1/12 , 4th infantry division, RVN,
1969. We were a rifle company located in the Central Highlands, near
Kontum, South Vietnam. May 31, 1969 we were on a battalion sweep through
the Plei Trap Valley. B company had walked into an ambush by a
battalion sized force of NVA and were sustaining heavy casualties. My
company was ordered to maintain our position approximately 1 click away.
So we sat in the jungle listening to all hell break loose when the air
support got there. An order finally came down for us to move in as a
blocking force to catch the NVA on their escape route. In order for us
to to be manuevered in to the correct position a Slick was used to guide
us. He hovered at the rear of the twin columns and maintained radio
contact with our CP as we proceeded towards our objective. This proved
to be a fatal mistake as the NVA figured out what was going on and
outmanuevered us. They could also hear the chopper slowly approaching
and set up another ambush. When captain Shoe came over to check on what
was left of my squad that night I could see the angony written all
over the man. He'd made a tactical error he'd live with the rest of his
life. He got tougher and more demanding after that , completely
intolerant of mistakes that could cost lives. The FNG's coming into the
company after that thought he was a real B-----d but they didn't know
him or what was going on in his mind. Then there was the Captain of B
company. If you are interested, it's all in a book called " Time Heals
No Wounds" by my friend Jack Lenninger.

I got the Rotax 447 with Ivo 66" prop with prop extension on our

clearance when I go to the aeroport.

Terry, so far you're the only one even mentioned MR10. No problem with
the flexibility,
it is a bit heavier but then it might provide more protection going into
some branches :)
I'm very happy with it as you don't get any little haze marks or
dullness from cleaning.
Don't try the sheet metal snips method of cutting it though......a good
(orbital stroke)
hand jig saw does the job in a jiffy. Natcherly leave the protective
paper on when
cutting. Clean up the edge with a hand file. Of course I had to slip
once and put in
the one mandatory gouge. Holes drill easy, make them just a skosh
bigger than the
rivets or screws ...I saw no problems with expansion, but then it
doesn't get very
warm in these parts. -BB, MkIII, I think I saw it back in a corner a

Terry,
I'm working on a full enclosure of my own design for my Firestar II. .118 is almost
1//8 inch thick. I think that is over kill for such a small windshield
of the Firestar and Firefly. I'm using 1/16 Lexan for my full enclosure. The
bend radius of the 1/16 material on a firestar will give it plenty of rigidity
against the full speed of the firestar. Lexan does scratch easily but is gauranteed
not to shatter for up to three years after installation. We shopped
around local and found a place that will sell 1/16 lexan for 64.00 a sheet. That
figures out to be roughly five sheets to your one piece of MR10 for 300.00?
That seems very steep to me. I'm not sure how flexible MR10 is, but Lexan
of .118 will not make the bend radius of the nose of a firestar--too rigid.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Tim

Quite well, Brother Possum....

IMHO This list has definite technical and social value... it should, and
doubtless will, continue to serve its membership well once it passes this
little "stone" and recenters itself... I hope it hurries... this entire
drill is getting boring and now threatens to surpass even the legendary and
highly painful KolbList Seafoam discussions to become the new dead-horse
flogging exemplar ...
Doesn't someone want to talk about vortex generators or something....?

The internet is still in it's infancy, a new communication tool, with
growing problems; as humans we still have some weakness on how to handle
this new tool.
The purpose of "shared" web sites is to disseminate information to
individuals that have a common interest. Information sharing is just
that...one can choose to use the information or discard it, but there is
never a time when too much information is a "bad" thing. This is what
is great about lists such as the Kolb List...the sharing of information
and the opportunity to utilize it or discard it.
Thank you John Hauck and others for sharing your expertise.

Try using RealPlayer, it worked for me. The latest Windows media player did
too.

Fun video. Glad I have cable. Would take my brother-in-law about an hour to
down load on his dial up. I was D/L at 190 kb/sec which makes it quick.

Earl,
I have placed a Balance Master behind my prop and also one on the magneto end
of the engine ( it replaces the fan pulley). I can't quantify any major
improvements, but I think they have smoothed out my vibration considerably.
The science behind them is solid!
I don't think Rotax would suggest these if there was good data behind it.

Thanks Don,
That is a neat idea, I really enjoyed the"ride". Having never found a
modern Kolb close enough to me, to try to stuff my 6' 7" frame into, I
really appreciate what you've done. I have a friend in northern MN with a
early firestar II, but he bought it used and it had some problems, so they
tore it down to do a rebuild and he (they) haven't got it back in the air,
but I did sit in the airframe. He sent me the first Kolb video 6 or 7 years
ago, I still have it, I think Dennis Souder in the Ultrstar. Its crazy, I
know what John H means when he says in the early days they pushed the
envelope a bit. Then the later tape of the early Mark III. Really good
stuff. Thanks too for your engineering and innovation, and that goes for all
of you.
I will be taking a business trip, (repairing Unimogs) to the east coast
in the next month. Will follow I-70 I think, so if there are Kolbers
reasonably close along that route, and care to, I sure would like to stop a
couple of places and meet you guys and glean some ideas. We will do it Big
Lar style, pickup camper and equipment trailer, so we will be flexible to
stop and sleep about anywhere. I plan to bring my 12 year old Kye with me
and he is Kolb nuts too. (wonder why)
Thank again for all the info.

John H.,
Wanted to thank you for your heads up at London, KY about the spacer
blocks on the horizontal stabilizers. I have installed them on my
FireFly and they work great. Won't be wearing the hinges from the
pressure of the cable braces and also the tension on the cables will
remain constant.
I also raised the leading edge of my horizontal stab's an inch and have
improved the performance at cruise. Was able to remove the 8 lb.'s of
lead shot from the nose and no longer hold forward stick to fly clean.
Was able to fly hands off before changing them! I had noticed that in
level flight if I pushed slightly forward on the stick it wouldn't
descend, but instead would fly cleaner and faster. Therefore the
experiment with raising the leading edge. My horizontal stab's are now
at the same angle as my motor mount plate. Not suggesting anyone else do
this, just sharing!
Thanks again John,
Terry - FireFly #95

I have a couple of the old ones made of plastic that have not held up very
well (I think they are made of metal now), and have been told that you have to
check them periodically to make sure they have not somehow solidified. If they
do, they will imbalance instead of helping to balance. A BFI I know said
several of his friends stopped using them because of this problem.

Dang Larry, I really dont know much about that video stuff...as I mentioned
my brothers camera and he figgered out how to load it on that website.
I did download it and noticed it was not near the quality of the original.
Brother told me the origional was alot bigger that the 8 meg or so and he
did something to make the file smaller..which degrads the video.
Nevertheless I just clicked on it and it played for me...I also made it full
screen ..the windsock shows up better.
I will ad this little story..I know some of you have heard it already..but
whilst we are hangar fly'in....
There I was......at the airpark..winds were high enough to keep most of the
"fairweather flyers" grounded tellin lies an braggin on their birds. You
Pilots know them days..we all were waiting around for late afternoon for the
wind to lie down a bit..But it just wont slow up... Now I dont want any of
my aviatin bros thinking that I am reckless..or a daredevil or anything..so
I was standing around also. Just about to bust wanting to fly. As the
conversation continue'd, someone said to me" You were at Spartan in the 70's
right?..is that where you learned to fly?" " I bet it is a real pain out
there the way the wind blows all the time in Tulsa." I responded that it was
and many a day was spent standing around just like we are doing today
waiting for the wind to get down below 30 knots..for that was the rules for
the flight school's aircraft. Someone said "30 knots!..jeez"...(in
disbelief) I did not respond.
anyway...I should mention that where I keep my bird...there are several
Challengers..a couple of Team airbikes, several Team wood
birds...Z-Max's..Mini max's..Eros...the usual gaggle of Quicksilvers and
clones...lots of different birds...but..no other Kolbs. I have the First one
to reside there.
Also I should mention that I donot consider myself the most skilled pilot
there either...several fellas I believe are alot better than me..
So...after realizing that the wind was not going to let up..I prepared for a
flight.
When I rolled the FlagFly out and started preflight..I got alot of
looks...Nobody came out and said I was plum crazy...but a few looks told
their thoughts. I was NEVER worried about bending my bird men....I dont fly
in those conditions regularly only because the winds make it
uncomfortable..NOT Unmanageable for a kolb. I was tired of the hangar flyin
and wanted to get in a little bit of stick time and try this thing with
Daves camera.
Well it took me a couple a time around the patch to figger out Brother Daves
camera...I would go around and land..we would look at the camera..no
vid...and he would instruct me somemore...all the time im crabbing in dandy
landings and all the hangar rats are just standing over there watching. With
the wind finally down to 20k @ 90 deg from runway heading....I was having a
ball! the gap you see in the video is because I had to restart the camera
once.
When my wife saw it and the part where I let go of the stick to switch the
camera on again.....she freaked...But you Kolb Pilots know...just cause you
let go of the stick does not mean the Fly is going to stray..it just does
not!..
So after I am done I land and Taxi over to the pumps by the main hangar
where all the boys had been watching....only 2 guys left..one the owner of
the park..I asked..."where did everbody go Tom?"
He replied." Well....after seeing that...about half of them left pissed off
cause their birds wont handle that well ,,and the other half went to go
look for a Kolb to buy!"
Viva La Kolb!
P.S.. now that I know brother dave can do that..I will be attermpting to
make a better Vid on a smoother day....Just to help us get thru those
snowbound weeks of winter that are coming!

I needed my "Kolb fix" today so I jumped into the 'ol Firestar in spite
of some gusty winds aloft. This was the first time flying it since the
new gear legs were installed. The ceiling was 1000' with fog, but 3 of us
Kolb guys came out to the strip and shot some touch-n-goes for a few
hours. The winds were getting strong before we called it a day, but this
gave us all a chance to practice those direct crosswind landings with a
lot of mechanical turbs throwing us around. (hey, the worst day flying is
better than the best day at work). The strip was covered with 1-1/2" of
snow, but wheels were fine. We were treated to a viewing of a brand new
CT2K that was hangered there. This is the light plane of the future and
and there is a flight report in this month's issue of ULTRALIGHT FLYING
magazine. http://www.skyrideaviation.com/products/flightdesign/
We are all Kolb brothers, so let's be good to one another. We have a lot
to be grateful for, especially this time of year.
Not everyone can fly like us.

I made a heater that attaches to the cowl. It is only aluminum flashing wrapped
around two 4" platic dryer hose couplers. Then a 3" dryer hose runs into the
cockpit. This provides just enough heat to keep my feet warm. I'd say it will
raise the temperature 10 -20 degrees especially near the feet.
I'm going to try a heater cuff that goes around the muffler next time and see how
that works.

--> Kolb-List message posted by: "James and Cathy Tripp" <jtripp@elmore.rr.com>
Kolb Friends,
I've got to add my 2 cents worth and my own story about John Hauck and what
he's done to promote my interest in ultralights. I met John's famous
airplane 7 years before I met him. Here's how the story goes:
10 years ago, while I was stationed at Maxwell AFB in Montgomery, Alabama, I
saw my first ultralight. My introduction to ultralights came by way of a
group of fliers as they flew in small groups over my house on lazy Sunday
afternoons apparently going nowhere fast or anywhere in particular or so it
seemed. The weeks and months passed as they often do when you're busy with
other more pressing priorities and my only reminder of the ultralights was
an occasional sighting as they made their distinct sound while passing
overhead. Like any person who loves airplanes, one can't fly over without
me looking up to see it.
On one of those lazy Sunday afternoons when nothing else was going on, my
family and I went for a little Sunday joy ride in the country. We hadn't
traveled more than 5 miles from home when we passed the Wetumpka
International Airport (actually its just a little place). To my surprise,
as we drove passed the airport, I noticed one of those small airplanes
parked right out front. I braked quickly and turned onto the dirt entrance
to check things out. I knew what my wife was thinking (oh no, more
airplanes) so I kind of downplayed the whole thing and told her I just
wanted to check it out and I wouldn't be long. Sitting there right in front
of me was the most beautiful flying machine I have seen. Well not better
than AF jet fighters and such but for an ultralight it was impressive.
Painted red with yellow sunbursts on the wings, it was magnificently built.
I just stared at it for a while, walked all around it, looked in the
cockpit, admired the design, and hoped the owner would come by. It was
parked out in the open and not in a storage area so I knew it was there
temporarily. The owner was around somewhere but where?
As my wife's patients began to diminish with each pass I took around the
ultralight, I figured I had stalled longer than I should and went back to
the car to continue our Sunday drive. The rest of the joyride was
overshadowed, at least within my own mind, by continuous thoughts of
ultralights. Wish I could have talked to the pilot. Before I got a chance
to pursue ultralighting further, I got transferred out of the Montgomery
area.
Once settled into my new assignment, I did a search for ultralights on the
internet and boom, more information than you could shake a stick at. I read
with interest everything I could on the subject and ordered a subscription
to UF! plus 3 years of back issues.
As I eagerly looked forward to each month's issue of UF!, and read it from
cover to cover, I've learned an awful lot about the ultralight business.
One thing I learned was that first ultralight I saw parked at the Wetumpka
Airport was a Kolb Mark III owned by a guy named John Hauck who evidently
has made quite a name for himself in the ultralight world. And to think, for
3 years, I lived within 25 miles of this guy and never knew it. I also
decided that if I ever got an ultralight, it would definitely be a Kolb.
I wish I had taken action sooner when the opportunity to get more involved
with ultralights was readily available to me in the Montgomery area. After
3 years of reading just about anything and everything on the subject, I got
yet another transfer. This time to Korea and well away from the ultralight
flying world and away from the family. I had plenty of time to read and
study ultralights.
I'm a lucky guy. My assignment leaving Korea was back to Maxwell AFB, near
JH, and since Kolb became TNK, pretty close to them also. To make this long
story a little shorter, when I got back to Montgomery, I gave John a call.
He very happily flew his airplane from Titus to Wetumpka and took me up for
an hour and a half joy ride. What a joy it was too. He told me everything I
needed to know about Kolbs and encouraged me to attend the Kolb fly-in. I've
been to the last 3. I purchased my FS at the second fly-in and I'm almost
75% done with the building.
For those of you trying to build a Kolb, there's nothing like having an
expert like JH give you advise. It's an even greater blessing to actually
have him look at your work and show you how to do things.
When I think back on the past 10 years, I know I have John Hauck to thank
for turning me on to Kolb aircraft. I know there are plenty of Kolb flyers
and builders out there who, just like me, can relate similar stories about
John.
Here's to you John Hauck! A toast to a respected friend and mentor. May you
always have blue skies and tailwinds.
Sorry for being so long winded. You could have hit the delete key after the
first paragraph.

Hi John,
I'm working on a Firestar II , My Question was about the
Gap seal between the wing & aileron...
I figured that I would only fill the gap that is between the hinges...The lenght
of the aileron.
Is that Right ? Or do they run the gap seal down the entire lenght of the wing...?
another question just popped up...I'm setting my wings on horses
in the garage so I can paint my trim colors....My aileron counter
weights are alittle "light" in that position ,Just Slightly......
( I balanced them while they were in my "wing rack" in a vertical position....)
So my 2nd question is:
Which way is it better...
Slightly Light or Slightly Heavy counter weight...
Or should I just balance them exactly...?
Glad to hear the message return was just a glitch,
Myself, I wouldn't mind it if Matt gave the list a weeks "Time Out"
Thanks for takin the time...

takeoffs and landings with your video full screen, with the sound, BOY!
brings that great feeling back. Thanks Again.
Thats whats so great about this list something for everyone. I'm just
a luker and read the list every evening, makes me feel like i'm part of

Hey John H.,
Did you get a chance to try your new prop? I couldn't tell from the
pictures which blade design that is. Do you use the standard blade or
the taper tip? In your experience is there much difference in
performance? I'm looking for any input that I can get. I'm trying to
decide on a new prop. Thanks! -- Earl

Airborne Dramas
---------------
A military pilot calling urgently called Air Traffic Control for a
priority landing because his single-engine jet fighter was running 'a
bit peaked'. His one engine was shutting down.
Air Traffic Control told the fighter jock that he was number two behind
a B-52 bomber that had one of his eight engines shut down.
"Ah," the pilot remarked, "the dreaded seven-engine approach!"

Steve,
Yes they are made out of steel now with mercury encapsulated in plastic tubing
wrapped by the steel. I have had good success with them, but will keep an eye
out
for the problem of solidifying. Don't know how mercury can do that if not exposed
to other metal. Not trying to sell Balance Masters, just sharing info!

Earl...I have always wondered about that system...but I have never seen one
in the flesh...
I have never seen a hollow shaft gearbox for any of the engines we typically
use either. some belt type re-drives have hollow shafts that might
accomidate the pushrod... but does anybody know of a hollow shaft gearbox
that might?
