Earl/All:
Well, I had not thought about keeping the passenger warm.
I figured if anyone was crazy enough to fly with me as cold as it was
yesterday, they would make arrangements to keep themselves warm. :-)
Seriously, I don't have anyone that flies with me on a regular or irregular
basis.
I think the beauty of the Chilli Vest is the simplicity of the system,
without hanging additional hardware on the aircraft, which equals weight, or
inviting another inflight hazzard by routing hot water into the cockpit.
For that matter, I don't like primers that route fuel into the cockpit
either.
To each his own,

Been watching the thread on heaters. I have a water/coolant heater in my
&%*#@ and it works fairly good. The real trick is having a reasonably well
sealed cockpit. I originally put in a valve so I could run all coolant
through the heat core, but later found a simple partial bypass was
sufficient. What I have been doing on cold mornings (25dg) is placing a
rag in the radiator intake to reduce airflow. I have a blue head 582 that
does a good job of maintaining temperature. Don't know about running an
earlier one without a thermostat, don't think it would be a good idea. The
nice thing about this set up is I can wear light clothing in cold weather.
The 582 make enough electrical power for the heater, transponder, and
radios with no problem.

Hello all,
I am the proud new owner of a MKIII it was started by an expert craftsman in
96 or so and was never finished due to health issues. I will be covering the
wings, installing electrical and motor. I also got a 24ft hallmark trailer
with it. I did not get a motor with it as my funds would not allow it at
this time.
He has a new in the crate 912 but is has been sitting in his living room as
an end table since 97. Would this motor be ok or need an over haul? It has
never been turned over. I may find the cash to buy it. What would it be
worth?
I also got all the dope, fabric and paint needed to finish it. It to have
been sitting, mostly un opened. What are the chances the unopened stuff
would be ok to use?
Where can I post photos?

Might not want to wear it on your next commercial flight:
"A DHS official said an individual was removed from the aircraft in France because
of wires sticking out of her jacket. It turns out the jacket was a heated
motorcycle jacket.
A Homeland Security official told Fox News that French officials were concerned
about the passenger and they detained her, not allowing her to board the plane."

Giovanni, Let me know if you decide to pass on the 912. I would buy it in a
heart beat. No expert on Rotax but it should be just fine. I bought a used
912 with 50 hrs and paid $6800.00 It came with a oil cooler and exhaust. I
sold the exhaust for $450.00 so counting the rest of the goodies I have
about $6100.00 in it. Not bad considering a new one is $11.500.00......

This sounds like it may be the MK III built by Bob Gratz in Paducah Ky. If
so let me know as I know Bob and am familiar with his workmanship. He is
definitely a master craftsman. If this is his plane, let me know

Giovanni,
Depending on what kind of dope/paint you have, you might have difficulty if
it is 97 vintage stuff also. The pigments have no doubt setteled out, and
become sludge in the bottom of the can. I know for instance that at Wicks
aircraft supply, they go thru all their Poly-Tone stock and use a shaker on
each can once a month. I would call the distributor of the brand and ask
their advice.
I believe I also would take it all to a paint store and have them use a
mechanical shaker on each can, then open and try a test on a small frame
covered with scraps of dacron or something.
AS far as that engine...it is really hard to say. Humidity conditions are
different everywhere and in everones home...If he had airconditioning it
would be a better chance all is ok. If no one spilled Coca-cola on the
"end-table" that leaked down onto the engine...if the engine was wrapped in
plastic...6 or 7 years is a long time.
If he had children like mine....an anvil might have a hard time surviving in
the living room as an end table for 7 years!
Good luck, and welcome to the wonderful world of Kolb ownership!

Congratulations, and Good Luck. About all you can really do is "look and
see." On the engine, possibly Tim Olenik can make some suggestions ??
From my own experience, I bought my kit in Nov. '96, and started to cover
the tail in about '00 or '01. (??) Several of the Poly-Fiber cans had lost
some of the solvent - even tho' never opened - and the products inside were
thickened, and 2 were like rubber. With the Poly-Brush and Poly-Tak, in the
ones that weren't TOO far gone, I added MEK and did some test pieces.
Worked fine on some of it, not on others, so you'll hafta try it and see.
(yes, you skeptics - I did cover most of Vamoose' tail myself......! ! !)
Possibly Jim & Dondi could comment on this ?? MEK hatin'

The Good News That Isn't In Print
The following is an email message sent to all First Marine Air Wing and
Marine Wing Support Squadron 171 from LtCol Scot S. Seitz, Commanding
Officer, on Monday, December 1, 2003. It's worth reading and sharing.
Marines and Sailors,
As we approach the end of the year, I think it is important to share a
few thoughts about what you've accomplished directly, in some cases, and
indirectly in many others. I am speaking about what the Bush
Administration and each of you has contributed by wearing the uniform,
because the fact that you wear the uniform contributes 100% to the
capability of the nation to send a few onto the field to execute
national
policy. As you read about these achievements you are a part of, I would
call your attention to two things:
1. This is good news that hasn't been fit to print or report on TV.
2. It is much easier to point out the errors a man makes when he makes
the tough decisions, rarely is the positive as aggressively pursued.
Since President Bush declared an end to major combat on May 1. . . . . .
the first battalion of the new Iraqi Army has graduated and is on active
duty. . . . over 60,000 Iraqis now provide security to their fellow
citizens. . . . nearly all of Iraq's 400 courts are functioning. . . .
the Iraqi judiciary is fully independent. . . . on Monday, October 6,
power
generation hit 4,518 megawatts-exceeding the prewar average. . . . all
22
universities and 43 technical institutes and colleges are open, as are
nearly all primary and secondary schools. . . . by October 1, Coalition
forces had rehab-ed over 1,500 schools-500 more than scheduled. . . .
teachers earn from 12 to 25 times their former salaries. . . . all 240
hospitals and more than 1,200 clinics are open. . . . doctors salaries
are at least eight times what they were under Saddam. . . .
pharmaceutical
distribution has gone from essentially nothing to 700 tons in May to a
current total of 12,000 tons. . . . the Coalition has!
helped administer over 22 million vaccinations to Iraq's children. . .
a Coalition program has cleared over 14,000 kilometers of Iraq's 27,000
kilometers of weed-choked canals which now irrigate tens of thousands of
farms. This project has created jobs for more than 100,000 Iraqi men
and
women. . . . we have restored over three-quarters of prewar telephone
services and over two-thirds of the potable water production. . . there
are 4,900 full-service telephone connections. We expect 50,000 by
year-end.
the wheels of commerce are turning. From bicycles to satellite
dishes to cars and trucks, businesses are coming to life in all major
cities and
towns. . . . 95 percent of all prewar bank customers have service and
first-time customers are opening accounts daily. . . . Iraqi banks are
making loans to finance businesses. . . . the central bank is fully
independent. . . . Iraq has one of the world's most growth-oriented
investment and banking laws. . . . Iraq has a single, unified currency
for the first time in 15 years. . . . satellite
TV dishes are legal. . . . foreign journalists aren't on 10-day visas
paying mandatory and extortionate fees to the Ministry of Information
for
"minders" and other government spies. . . . there is no Ministry of
Information. . . . there are more than 170 newspapers. . . . you can buy
satellite dishes on what seems like every street corner. . . . foreign
journalists (and everyone else) are free to come and go. . . a nation
that had not one single element-legislative, judicial or executive-of a
representative government, now does. . . . in Baghdad alone, residents
have selected 88 advisory councils. Baghdad's first democratic transfer
of
power in 35 years happened when the city council elected its new
chairman.
.
today in Iraq, chambers of commerce, business, school and professional
organizations are electing their leaders all over the country. . . . 25
ministers, selected by the most representative governing body in Iraq's
history, run the day-to-day business of government.
the Iraqi government regularly participates in international
events.
Since July, the Iraqi government has been represented in over two dozen
international meetings, including those of the UN General Assembly, the
Arab League, the World Bank and IMF and, today, the Islamic Conference
Summit. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs today announced that it is
reopening over 30 Iraqi embassies around the world. . . . Shia religious
festivals that were all but banned, aren't. . . for the first time in 35
years, in Karbala thousands of Shiites celebrate the pilgrimage of the
12th Imam. . . . the Coalition has completed over 13,000 reconstruction
projects, large and small, as part of a strategic plan for the
reconstruction of Iraq. . . . Uday and Qusay are dead-and no longer
feeding innocent Iraqis to the zoo lions, raping the young daughters of
local
leaders to force cooperation, torturing Iraq's soccer players for losing
games, or murdering critics. . . . children aren't imprisoned or
murdered
when their parents disagree with the government. . . . political
opponents aren't imprisoned, tortured, executed, maimed, or are forced
to
watch
their families die for disagreeing with Saddam. . . . millions of
longsuffering
Iraqis no longer live in perpetual terror. . . . Saudis will hold
municipal elections. . . . Qatar is reforming education to give more
choices to
parents. . . . Jordan is accelerating market economic reforms. . . . the
Nobel Peace Prize was awarded for the first time to an Iranian-a Muslim
woman who speaks out with courage for human rights, for democracy and
for
peace. . . . Saddam is gone. . . . Iraq is free. . . . President Bush
has
not faltered or failed. . . . Yet, little or none of this information
has
been published by the Press corps that prides itself on bringing you all
the news that's important.
Iraq under US-led control has come further in six months than Germany
did
in seven years or Japan did in nine years following WWII. Military
deaths from fanatic Nazi's and Japanese numbered in the thousands and
continued
for over three years after WWII victory was declared.
It took the US over four months to clear away the twin tower debris, let
alone attempt to build something else in its place.
Now, take into account that almost every Democrat leader in the House
and
Senate has fought President Bush on every aspect of his handling of this
country's war and the post-war reconstruction, and that they continue to
claim on a daily basis on national TV that this conflict has been a
failure.
Taking everything into consideration, event the unfortunate loss of our
brothers and sisters in this conflict, do you think anyone else in the
world could have accomplished as much as the United States and the Bush
administration in so short a period of time?
These are things worth writing about. Get the word out. Write to
someone you think may be able to influence our Congress or the press to
tell the
story.
Above all, be proud that you are a part of this historical precedent.
God bless you all. Have a great Holiday.
Semper Fidelis,
LtCol Scot S Seitz

Yes, thats wonderful. I am truly happy for those people over there and really
do wish them the best as time goes on. However, before you start campaigning
for the next election, perhaps you should compare what you have said to what
has happened in the good old U.S. (who is paying for all of this) on each of
the issues you commented on - 100,000 jobs lost per month for three years
straight so far, the patriot act, schools closing every day, schools that are open
are understaffed and so bad they should be condemned, students that are
functionally illiterate at graduation, health care that is unavailable to large
percentages of our population and ranked among the lowest overall quality in the
industrialized world (I am a doctor, these are not my personal surveys or
numbers), our water supplies are contaminated to the point you can't safely drink
from most ground water sources or eat the fish that come out of them or swim on
the coasts and contaminant levels that don't even meet our own minimum
standards anymore, open canals that we can't afford to cement in (ask Oregon about
this one), our industrial base first and now our high tech sector is leaving the
country and going under at record rates (India has now surpassed Silicon
Valley) which means "the wheels of commerce are turning all right, from satellite
dishes, cars and trucks to bicycles" here in the U.S., we have the largest
number of people in prison and in the penal system of any industrialized nation
in the world and spend more on prisons than education, our information is now
filtered through a very small handful of people and media companies and has
turned the "news" and thoughtful political discussion into nothing more than paid
for sound bites and trade offs of political correctness, a military budget
that takes up approx. half of our economic resources at a time when we should be
enjoying the "peace dividend" instead of declaring wars unending until all
boogie men and terrorist and countries that support them and every evildoer in
the world has been eliminated from every spot on the planet, etc. etc. etc.
Before you start calling me names, I am a Nam vet. and have earned the right
to comment and point out the statistics as they exist. Don't give me the
"love it or leave it" line - that is not what made this country great. I am not
anti government or anti military and I am proud of what our soldiers have
accomplished and their potential. I just think it is to bad we can't do here what
we are doing there. Maybe we should consider bringing the troops home and
having them do their good deeds here for a while so we can rebuild our
infrastructure enough to keep us strong enough to help the rest of the world before
it
is to late. If we go the way others have gone who did not take care of the home
front first, we may have to get Iraq to help us before to much longer.
Sorry for pointing out the obvious. Just couldn't let that go even though I
wanted to.
Steve

Here is an item that might be handy for the builder:
http://www.ishopwiz.com/4/4-1670.html
It is a set of retractable fine tip markers that can be used one-handed. Avery
Marks-A-Lot Retractable Fine Tip Marker. No top to lose. I got some at Office
Depot and I also saw some at Walmart. I was always misplacing tops before and
letting mine dry out.

--> Kolb-List message posted by: "John Cooley" <johnc@datasync.com>
Hi Giovanni and Gang,
My Firestar II is a 1994 model that I purchased as a kit in late 1999
from a guy in Pennsylvania. It was finished in early 2001. The covering
material was included with the kit along with the poly-brush, reducer
and poly-tak. I didn't get any poly-spray (silver uv paint) with the kit
or paint. I purchased it later when needed. I talked to Jim Miller at
that time and he said that the poly-brush should be ok as long as I
could get it all mixed up, it had settled and compacted in the bottom. I
did get it stirred up and it worked fine. The poly-tak was whiskey
colored and I purchased new glue just to be on the safe side. I have
since used some of the older poly-tak and believe it to be as strong as
the fresh stuff. One reason the poly stuff was still good in this case
was probably that it was stored in a garage in Pennsylvania. Doubt that
it would have lasted that long here in the deep south. I would be sure
and filter it before using it to brush on the initial filler coat or any
time as it seems to have some small chunks in it no matter how much you
stir and mix.

Hello all,
I am the proud new owner of a MKIII it was started by an expert
craftsman in 96 or so and was never finished due to health issues. I
will be covering the wings, installing electrical and motor. I also got
a 24ft hallmark trailer with it. I did not get a motor with it as my
funds would not allow it at this time.
He has a new in the crate 912 but is has been sitting in his living room
as an end table since 97. Would this motor be ok or need an over haul?
It has never been turned over. I may find the cash to buy it. What would
it be worth?
I also got all the dope, fabric and paint needed to finish it. It to
have been sitting, mostly un opened. What are the chances the unopened
stuff would be ok to use?
Where can I post photos?
Giovanni Day

Went to local RS--they didn't stock anything near the cap. needed. They
would drop ship a 2200mfd 35V for about $7.85--most of that for
shipping. Other RS may have it. Any help out there?

Bob,
Some times I use:
http://www.allelectronics.com/
If you put 2200mfd in the search window, it will show several priced from
$0.60 to $1.25 each depending on the voltage rating.
They have a toll free number 1-888-826-5432.

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.
------------------------
the egt probes are thermocouples simular to those used on water heaters and furnaces....
they produce up to 30 mv of power when heated..... i have seen
them last 15 - 20 years... and as little as a few months.... i would sugest
that you heat it up and test with a dc milivolt meter and check the output...
if it seems ok then check the wireing. to heat it up it could be removed and
heated with a match, candle, or a torch on low heat..
