It somewhat erks me to read all the mis-information on this list
about in - flight ajustable props
on two strokes . There was a PROFFESIONAL article in Ultralight Flying just
a few months back
about how well suited in-flight ajustables ARE for two strokes .
I think that it is more of a preference thing or more so a
capability issue than suitablity .
ps: Don't go to a dentist for a heart problem.

Richard,
How do these figures compare to before the mods? How much speed do you
figure making it a full parasol gave you? Did making it a parasol cut down
on prop noise? Thanks! Kirk

--> Kolb-List message posted by: Ben Ransom <bwr000@yahoo.com>
I forgot to mention the benefit of power on soft field landings per se.
(The other posts on this thread mention the benefit of power on
approach in general.) Anyway, keeping a little power all the way till
you want to stop is a good idea in soft field work. This keeps some
air across the tail, helping you keep the tail down, opposing the nose
over force of wheels going thru the mud.

Richard, thanks for the information. I am planning on using the flaps from
the mark 3 model. The Kolbra and the mark3 use the same wing. John H told me
that it is more difficult than just building them and hanging them on the
back of the wing. Says his brother Jim could help me there.

Kolbers,
After discovering that I had misplaced the "B" rib on the spar I had to remove
them all and put the "B" rib inboard, I also noticed that there had been a lot
of scratching going on in the process. I removed the ribs, polished the insides
of the stamped sections that go around the spar, and polished the spar to be
smooth of any scratches. I have for years used a product called "TRI-FLOW" with
Teflon on aluminum sliding windows. When polished the ribs slide over the
spar really smooth with no scratching. The lubricant makes them slide into position
with no effort or scratching. Looking at the finished product, I would like
the ribs to look as clean as the rest of the parts. What method of cleaning
would get the parts that turn dark from handling bright again? I like things
to look good even though they will ever be seen. Just a piece of mind thing.
I will post some photos in photoshare later.

You got it, Bryan ! ! ! This is the one I was talking about. People
who've used it are real enthusiastic about it. Gives the silver coats,
etc., just like poly tone, but without the MEK fumes. Lar.

them all and put the "B" rib inboard, I also noticed that there had been a lot
of scratching going on in the process. I removed the ribs, polished the insides
of the stamped sections that go around the spar, and polished the spar to
be smooth of any scratches. I have for years used a product called "TRI-FLOW"
with Teflon on aluminum sliding windows. When polished the ribs slide over the
spar really smooth with no scratching. The lubricant makes them slide into position
with no effort or scratching. Looking at the finished product, I would
like the ribs to look as clean as the rest of the parts. What method of cleaning
would get the parts that turn dark from handling bright again? I like things
to look good even though they will ever be seen. Just a piece of mind thing.
I will post some photos in photoshare later.

Paul,
Where are you purchasing the Tri-flow? Sounds like a good product to get to know!
Wish I had known about it, used WD-40 on mine with OK results.
Been fighting with my aluminum storm windows for years now!!!

| Subject: | Quieter prop, etc. |
--> Kolb-List message posted by: Richard Pike <rwpike@charter.net>
Have spent the last three days modifying and testing the Ivoprop. Got some
really thick gen-u-wine prop tape and pinked one edge of it, installed it
full length on the Ivo. Can't tell that it improves the performance, but it
is quieter.
Details at

Last month someone on the list - can't remember who - said that my web page
detailing the relocation of the MKIII flap control mechanism was unclear.
They were right, it was, and that page has been redone, hopefully better.
It is at

Thanks for the reminder Richard,
I have maintained a link to Kolb flyers and their photos on one of my
webpages that can get overlooked very easily.
There are a lot of great photos taken from or about a Kolb by these fine
folks: Will Uribe, John Hauck, Jim Hefner, Larry Bourne, Erich Weaver, Roger
Hankins, Kip Laurie, Frank Reynen, Johann Johannsson, Boyd Young, Scott
Olendorf, Ben Ransom, Lajos Jozsa.
