That is just great John W.
Now I'm back in your wake turbulence. I am putting the final pitch
adjustment on my new Warp. I was walking around with my chest poked out thinking
"
man, with this new prop I'll be able to hang with the other John's now". Then
you go and post numbers like that. I was really seeing some improvement with my
new prop but nothing like those numbers. Because of the Evil twin's (Work &
Weather), I haven't had a chance to fly enough to do a thorough job of testing
and checking of numbers. It has improved my TO, climb, and cruise. Just a
rough measure, but my airspeeds are 8 - 10 knots ( 9 - 12 MPH) faster at the
same RPM settings as with the IVO. That is compared to similar winter
performance. I still have a 1/2 degree pitch adjustment to go. I'm about 5000
rpm
static and only 5200 WOT level cruise.
On our next trip, would you be willing to carry my tent? That would give you
something to do while you are waiting on me to land!!!! Now that I think
about it, this could work out OK.
Come on MAY!

Check out Footlight Ranch on line to get all the info on the Fathers Day
Fly-in, seems like meeting up there, and taking a mass side trip to see Mr
Kolb would be a mighty fine way to salute the father of these Great machines
we are so proud of.

Eugene, Bob, Eugene, Richard, Denny and all others,
I will act as the contact person if that's what the gang wants. The
Wellsville Fathers Day Fly-In is a long established event that runs the
whole weekend. We could meet there and then if possible make at journey
to Homer's. There is a good stop off airport on the way at Smoketown,
Lancaster County that is UL friendly.
If you want more information on Wellsville go to their web page at
footlightranch.com and hit Mason-Dixion Ultralight Fly-in or the
others. The information is for last years fly-in which was canceled
because of weather, but you can explore the facilities available and get
the data about the airstrip there.
I know they would welcome a good group of new Kolb's arriving there!

Richard and all,
I have a new I-net provider and my new address in kolbdriver@bellsouth.net
I have been following the talk about a trip to Homer's place with great
inertest. Last year I started a trip to the sentimental journey fly-in with
a return trip by Homer's but the weather didn,t cooperate and KY is as far
as I got. I am having a personal problem with priorities and time
management, I have only flown 5.4 hours since the Kolb homecoming/ Kittyhawk
trip. Building a house should not interfer with flying. Oh well wishfull
thinking. I hope to be moved in by May at the latest and resume the more
important activities in life FLYING.
Steven

Hi Bill,
I'm in lurking mode, got out of the hospital on Monday. The good news is the
tumor the doctors removed was not cancer. Eating with no problem but in very
small quantities. If I keep loosing weight I'm will need to add counter
weights on the nose of my FireStar.
I will be on sick leave for about 6 weeks. My next assignment will be in
Miami, Florida for 4 weeks. If there are any Kolb owners in the area let me know
and we'll try to meet up.
Thanks for asking

Now that John W. has a really fast airplane I was wondering if you guys would mind
if I came to the Wellsville Fly-in in my Cherokee. It is not much faster than
John's Super Kolbra now. I've already got other plans for that weekend which
would prevent me from making that long round-trip in the early FS/377 but would
allow me to come in the Cherokee. Both Wellsville and Kolb's place would
accommodate a LTOL airplane like the Cherokee.

I think I flooded my 618 today. I recall the previous owner warning me not to prime
it or only once when the weather is warmer (like today)... of course I forgot
and gave it a good 3 pushes of the primer. Now trying to recover from flooding
it, I was unable :/
I first pulled the back plug in each cylinder. They were a little wet, but not
dripping. I blew them off with my air compressor and put them back in. About 10-15
minutes had passed by this point. I tried again, no go.... So I did the same
to the front plug in each, tried again... no go. Next I called up the previous
owner... got a couple tips to try; pulled all four, opened full throttle
and while plugs are out cranked it over 10-15 times. Blew off all four plugs.
Put em back in.. tried again... no go.
during this whole time the engine never even started to crank over. Plenty of amps
on battery (12.9 and even hooked up to charger for last few tests). The starter
motor did great... just as fast as it always is when it starts up. Now,
I am pretty sure that I did flood it... but logic is telling me that I should
have been able to recover without letting it sit overnight? Hopefully it will
start up tomorrow without issue. this is the first time it hasn't started in 4-5
turns. Any suggestions on how to recover should I flood it again int the future?

Any of you ever hear of a fella named Art from FL that has a Kolbra and a Firestar
up north? I met a Ran's pilot in the yahoo hanger that knows this gent. With
only 12 Kolbra's out there, mine being number 12 sure would like to learn of
the other 7 that are either in the building stage or collecting dust...

I've had success in clearing flooded engines by doing most of the things you mentioned,
Aaron, plus burn out the rich fuel mixture in the cylinder with a long
reach lighter; the kind that has a trigger and long skinny tube where the flame
comes out of the end of the tube. One difference in your procedure though.
Crank the engine w/o plugs and throttle completely closed, not open.

Hi Aaron,
Is there spark? Sounds like it's not even trying, did you get any indication
it
wanted to fire? Pull 1 plug from each cylinder, connect to the plug wire, crank
the
engine with the base of the plug in contact with the engine to create the ground
path.
Best done with as little light as possible, close the hangar door. Spark should
be strong
and blue. If not, suspect the ignition circuit. Good luck with it.

Hey Guys,
My Web site is on the Kolb web page now...
In the "Builders Sites"
I thought they would have slipped it in with the Firestar section....
I also thought they were going to remove some of the sites that are dead ends...maybe
they don't know about them...

Thom....Aaron...
AS far as the cranking on a flooded engine....with a slide carb....when the
slide is down at the idle position ..or close...the manifold vaccuum willbe
high at slow cranking speed...and the carbs will flow more fuel than they
will when the slide is up...WOT..at slow cranking speed. When the slide is
up the Manifold vaccuum is very low...and very little fuel will be pulled
thru the jets.
I would change the plugs...as already recommended.

I am definately in for a Wellsville / Homer fly-in. It's already been
cleared with the "boss". I now commute over from Princeton, NJ to the next
town over from Phoenixville. Every morning I see the cooling tower from the
Nuke plant that some one mentioned is just across the river from "the farm."
The tower and the column of steam certainly will make it easy to find!
Regarding fuel, being one of the "locals" I guess I'll volunteer to have a
few gallons cached in advance if the "planning staff" receives some requests
and can secure permission from Homer. I'm already looking forward to seeing
Richard, Bob, Denny, Gene, Earl, Russel and anyone else.

Gene and gang, Checking on Airnav,, the flight from Wellsville to Homers is
roughly 67 NM. Around 1hr. 15 min. one way , for Kolbs cruising around 65
MPH.
Sounds like that could work out. Depending on some planes fuel capicity,
wind
conditions, and reserve, arrangements may need to be made for fuel at
Homers.

Hi Gang:
Well, ............ here's the way I do it, four stroke or two stroke, real
airplane engine or not.
There is a little different procedure for electric and manual start.
Manual Start:
1. Switch off.
2. Throttle full.
3. Pull it through vigorously three or four or five times.
4. Throttle closed.
5. Switch on.
6. Pull it through and start.
7. If it doesn't start because the engine is cold, then open enricher,
leave throttle shut, switch on, and pull it through to start.
Electric Start:
1. Full throttle.
2. Be sure the pilot is in the seat.
3. Hit the starter until it starts firing, reducing power as the engine
clears itself.
Doesn't normally require removing plugs, replacing plugs, unless you really
screwed them up.
Take care,
john h

Will,
If you make it back to Pittsburgh this summer, we'll do our best to put some
meat back on your bones, I can taste the burgers tomatoes and sweet corn
now. :-)
Take Care ,
Denny
PS: I'll even throw in a Mk-3 ride.

Kolbers,
I got this from the Sonex list, thought you folks would enjoy it too.

I thought I'd send this on for all the newbies to warn them about what tools
are really for. Matt

> Now that John W. has a really fast airplane I was wondering if you guys
would mind if I came to the Wellsville Fly-in in my Cherokee. It is not much
faster than John's Super Kolbra now. I've already got other plans for that
weekend which would prevent me from making that long round-trip in the early
FS/377 but would allow me to come in the Cherokee. Both Wellsville and
Kolb's place would accommodate a LTOL airplane like the Cherokee.

I Don't mind at all Thom, I earned my private in a PA 28, I'll even take
you for a Mk-3 ride to ease your pain if time allows.
I just hope that we get dry weather, last summer was as soggy as I have ever
seen it around here.
