--> Kolb-List message posted by: BICUM@aol.com
Merry Christmas to Most!
Santa Claus came Thursday. He was dressed like the UPS man. Delivered my
new 72" Taper tip Warp Drive prop. That hub is a CNC work of art. Anyway,
Could somebody recommend a starting pitch setting?
My Mark III has the 912 no S. John H started with 11.5 - 2 -.5 to end with 9
degrees it looks like. With 20 hp less, looks like I should start at 8
degrees and go from there. Any suggestions appreciated.
Real interested to see the difference in performance between the IVO and the
Warp.
Getting ready for MAY.
Thanks & be careful,

Hi all,
Hope every one has a great Christmas and new year. Didn't make the dec 17 date
for the first flight getting real close.
I have a few friends that fly kitfox and there are two that fly the 912uls that
have experienced oil ascending unit failure. their fix seems radical to me but
they have elected to use a remote ascending unit plumed into the same pressure
pick up point with a piece of hose and mounting the ascending unit to the air
frame. John what did your gage do when you had the failure?

Craig/All:
I didn't have an oil pressure gauge failure, but a problem
with panel lights robbing power from the oil pressure gauge
causing a needle indication of dropping oil pressure.
Oil pressure gauge works great until I turn the panel light
switch on. Will have to pull the panel and do some trouble
shooting until I find out where it is being grounded, or
what ever it is that is stealing 12VDC power from my gauge.
A problem with losing ground on an electric pressure or temp
gauge usually gives an indication of full needle swing to
the highest indication.
Take care,
john h

I created a simple spreadsheet for calculating prop efficiency given Engine RPM,
TAS, and Prop Pitch which is primarily useful for fixed pitch props. It also
has another worksheet that might help you with setting the blades on your adjustable
pitch prop. It calculates prop efficiency and pitch from blade setting
angles and resulting engine RPM and TAS. If anyone is interested in this spreadsheet,
contact me off-line and I'll send it to you. I am leaving town on the
26th for ten days so if you want it soon, contact me before then.

Well I had a great day of flying today. I got to the field about 8:00am. The air
temp was 17degrees but got up to around 30 by the time I went up. I threw
on the skiis and went flying for almost an hour. The lakes around here are mostly
frozen and I saw some folks out ice fishing. I didn't see any snowmobiles
or atvs so I didn't land. I intend on landing on as many lakes as I can this
winter. That's my new goal. My last goal was to fly at least once every month
this year and I completed that today!
Now I've got to get some of those nice disc brakes like Scott Trask has on his
skiis. ; )

You guys are really confusing this Southern boy, We don't freeze over our
lakes down here, and never enough snow to land on, but still I can not
understand how disc , or any kind of brakes would work on SKIIS!! There
has been a time or too that I could have used some brakes on WATER skiis,
but thats when I was younger and dumber..

Ronnie,
I don't know what to do relative to outlook express.
But the following may work:
1. Highlight the web address in the email
2. Press CTRL C for copy.
3. Start or move to your web browser, Netscape or Internet Explorer.
4. Place the cursor in the location/address box.
5. Press CTRL W for write or paste.
6. Press ENTER to ask the browser to access the site.
I hope this helps.

Gary,
Morgantown PA has an airport where I have seen ultralights. You would
probably be about an hour away though.
Gary it seems I remember your name from a long time ago that I associate
with some pretty spectacular pictures in an Ultra Star. Right? :)

Well yes and no. You may remember me from a while back but not the Ultra
Star. I at one time was looking for one but got the Firestar instead.
I would like to get a field closer to home. One of the reasons I haven't
been flying as much as I would like is the time factor to get to the field.
There is a field pretty close but I think it may be closed. I haven't
seen much activity for a while. I may just be there at the wrong times
though.
Still lookin a hopein
Gary
Souderton,Pa.
