| Subject: | Sending unit for egt's |
--> Kolb-List message posted by: Airgriff2@aol.com
This past fall, one side of my dual egt guage went to 0. I flew with it that
way for a month and the second side went to 0. I checked the guage , as per
instructions, with a meter, and it said it was bad. Ordered a new one from
sky sports and installed it ,using my old sending units. At that point I was
back to having a reading on one side. I still need to check out ,or run new
wiring, but I was wonder from you guys, how often do the sending units really go
bad? Is that a common problem to cause no reading at the guage or is it
usually found to be a wiring problem? The guage is ok as when I switch wires on
the
back, the sides that read and dont read , reverse. That leaves it to either
wiring or probe. Still need to run more tests to find the problem but as I
asked ,I was wondering how many of you have had to replace sending units?
Thanks

Subject: FW: Kolb-List: Prop tips
The Ivo is not the best choice to do this on because of the sandwich
structure, but if you take as little of the skins off as possible during
the shaping process and then put two layers of a very fine glass cloth
back on covering over the new leading edge and overlapping the existing
skins you will be able to make a structurally sound new tip. The real
problem is that now you are going to have to rebalance them and hope
that your added weight is lighter then what you cut off so your not
overstreesing the roots of the blades.
John H: I believe that the foam inside the Ivo is Clark foam, a closed
cell foam with very high density. It is impervious to pretty much
anything so you probably don't have to cover the ends, though I always
thought it would look better. It is nothing like Styrofoam.
The warp drive with its solid carbon construction would seem an ideal
blade for this kind of shaping... although it probably isn't easy to
grind carbon fibers

Topher/All:
No problem working with carbon fiber Warp Drive blades.
I have cut them with a band saw, repaired dings with JB Weld (the JB Weld
was much harder to sand than the carbon fiber).
Don't think I will modify my new prop tips though.

A suggestion -- at least one member of a group XC flight might carry a roll
of fabric-repair tape. This is lightweight ripstop nylon, 2" wide with a
good adhesive on the back. I used it on a parachute for a couple years
without any sign of it's coming off.
May also be called "sail repair tape", comes in red, white or blue, find it
in boating stores or sport-parachuting centers. Cut off the corners
-'coffin-corner' it - so it won't start to peel up.
And I hope you never need it!

Russ and all,
I carry a roll of fabric and structural repair tape on all my overnight
trips. It comes in several colors and is fairly cheap. It can be bought at
most hardware and some grocery stores and is sold as "Duct Tape".
I have been using it the last 400 hours as the inboard two feet of my
aileron gap seal. The heat can get to it in the summer but replacing it
only takes a couple of minutes.

There are tapes and tapes -- duct tape is OK for light use and comes in
sevaral colors.
The military has "90-mile an hour tape", sort of duct tape on steroids;
about twice as strong, and OD in color; available in surplus sources. For
fabric repairs Spinnaker tape would be much better, even tho it's too light
for many other uses.

What is the thickness of the Lexan used on Kolb enclosures? Does anyone have
a source for it?
Thanks

It's been a while since I mentioned it on the list but to those that are not aware,
you will find the best of the Kolb-type people in the database found here...

Hey Guys,
Does anyone have any experience with the exhaust cabin heater system
that LEAF sells part # H7311? How does it work on a 582? What kind of
heating systems are you using? I was thinking of using a water heating
system. But I'm not sure how well that would work without using a
thermostat in the cooling system,and I don't like doing that on a model
90 582 (non bluehead). I'm open to any ideas. -- Earl
