Ultralights do not have to be certified in Canada. You can build anything
you want and call it a basic ultralight. The liciensing requirements are 10
hrs of instruction. Of which 5 hrs are dual, 3 hrs. solo, 1 cross country
and grouncd school. And a self declared medical. Then you can fly
canything up to 1232 lbs. and stalls below 45 mph. with any amount of fuel
and no restrictions on top speed.

John,
I agree. I was on a long xc in a Mooney many years ago (early 70's) and had
a fuel leak in the cockpit. Scared the bejeezus out of me. Can't remember
now just why it happened, some line to a guage or something. But I do
remember fuel in the floorboard on the passenger side, being at altitude
when it happened, and landing in Daytona because of it.
Cockpits are not a good place for fuel.
Fly Safely,
Doug

Sandy, you are essentially correct, however ultralights do have to be
registered in Canada.
That means recording basic information, such as weight, #seats, engine type
and horsepower, and wing area. Transport Canada does have the option of
rejecting your application if it decides that your airplane doesn't meet
minimum specifications, such as wing loading, or power/weight ratio.
Inspection by TC is not required. (however you are responsible for the
airworthiness of the airplane).
regards,
Daryl.

RCVD_IN_DYNABLOCK 2.60, RCVD_IN_SORBS 0.10)
--> Kolb-List message posted by: "Paul Petty" <ppetty@c-gate.net>
Good evening fellow Kolbers,
This week has been a blast, Kolb wise, first, Monday, the postman delivered the
CD that Mark German was so kind to take the time to comprise. Also, John Hauck
flew in and brought me the Warp prop I purchased from Daryl. As he handed it
to me he almost didn't want to let go as it has so much history. That prop has
been to Barron Alaska and God knows where else.He also took the time to look
over my work and give me some super ideas to make my bird a stronger airplane.
And of course ate my butt out for the things I had screwed up and I gladly accepted....
with a :-) then a .I. when I got home... just kidding...Major....
Any way the main reason for this thread is to brag on Mark's Kolbra. Gezzzzz what
a work of art. This man build the entire airplane before squirting the first
drop of paint!!!! Disassembled the whole thing and rebuilt... dang...folks that's
a lot of work. But the results speak for themselves. His work is digital.
One big thing he did was to TIG weld in 4130 tabs to the airframe and use Rivnuts
so the panels could be removed for inspection. Another was the nose cone.
He can remove his and work on the panel or brakes in seconds!!! He also has
no rivets in the airframe . All aircraft quality screws. I phoned him this evening
and talked about his first flight in her and I can tell from the sound in
his voice that he had to be transported to the local hospital to have the smile
removed from his face... That was a quote..... One thing that we talked about
was the way in which a Kolb, or at least the bigger ones, need to have a way
to trim for different loads. In the case of the Kolbra, TNK supplies a cheesey
knob that came off something.. not sure what, that has to be drilled out and
fitted to the tension mechanism. Mark has a real nice trim wheel that is not
hooked up yet but wishes he had installed a electric servo trim on the right
elevator with power supplied via 20 gage wire through 5/32" tubing through the
tail boom. Sounds like a good idea to me and may go for it. One thing I noticed
at the TNK fly in and flying the demo with Bryan was that the trim wheel is
so hard to get to and adjust that they don't bother to trim for different passengers.
One would have to release the seat belt to do so. This brings to mind
another issue. Mark and I agree that TNK want to keep these airplanes simple,
easy and affordable to build. Figure that's what Homer had in mind from the get
go. However, for those of us that wish to build a more complex and not a faster
or better aircraft, but a way more flyer friendly top end model, these options
could be offered by the factory as a profit for the company rather than
an us out here doing mods.
Another thing is sharing. Photos that is. I have learned more from looking at the
other builders of Kolb's than the plans could ever offer. Have hear the phrase
"Don't try and reinvent the wheel". And I am not trying to do that. However,
I feel that these special little aircraft that we love so much are like the
custom Harley Davidson motorcycles that I have built so many of and it's the
personal touches that makes one proud after leaving mother earth in something
you have built in your basement/shop or back porch of a mobile home... Lar....
just picking... but still trying to figure out how you did that!
Well folks for those that didn't hit the delete key and made it this far in to
my excitement, hope everyone is doing fine and all is well. Sure has been a great
year thus far. Headed to the shop to map out secret Hauck wing mod's and take
measurements.
If any want a copy of Mark's CD request to lynnp@c-gate.net will be happy to send
Paul Petty

My Bride is the hold up....love her dearly, but this move was her idea and I
caved in to her .....only because I love her...no other reason. ie, I'm doin
