Hey Guys / Paul,
What's up with the 4-5 ribs on your wing ?
Does the print call for that many of them to be reinforced with extra angles?
If it doesn't you might be making a STRESS POINT...Seems like you might be BOXING
it and forcing the stress at the lift strut.
Just curious...maybe it's suppose to be that way....

Tim and all,
Indeed there is plenty of length at Wellsville. My concern was if it is soggy like
I hear it was last year, then I can't land there and will have to use a paved
runway, 'cuz Tundra tires won't fit inside my wheelpants :-) nor do they fit
my flying partners' idea of a sleek "fast" aeroplane. If it is dry then absolutely
no problem at all.

--> Kolb-List message posted by: "Thom Riddle" <jtriddle@adelphia.net>
I am looking for a 2-seat TANDEM trainer to teach my son-in-law to fly in and need
to know wt. & balance data for Kolbras with the heavy engines such as the
912. If anyone has a spreadsheet with their particular information I would appreciate
getting a copy of it. If not in a spreadsheet format, that is okay...just
need the datum locations of front and back seats, fuel, main gear, tail gear
wts. and datum locations. I can forsee a situation where a heavy instructor(me)
in the back with a light weight student in the front exceeding the aft CG
limit.
Thanks for your input.

Paul,
I agree with Mike, if your not building it to plans and adding
reinforcements thinking your strengthening the wing you would be changing
the stress points and could introduce failure. The wings have been
analyzed as designed - alternating them could prove to be fatal.

I think I am going to ask the owner a bunch of questions, which I will post
to the list. I have thought about a BMW for some time, and that one looks
worth a second look.
The engine in question is at

I would also appreciate input pro/con from the list.

won't bid on it)

Dear Paul Petty, John Hauck and others,
Paul, nice work on the wings. What is the rationale for the added angle on the
ribs? What type aluminum and thickness was used for the 3/4 and 1/2" angle?
I don't plan to fold my wings, but my Xtra will probably be heavy, so I may need
the mods too.
Thanks,
Clay Stuart

Looks like an interesting project to experiment with.
I would question the weight. The belt reduction looks a bit wimpy for
75HP to me in the pictures. It would be helpful if there were more
picts from different angles.

The reduction ratio looks allot higher than 2.58 to one, closer to 4 to one
with that double reduction. First question would be why so much reduction
with a gyro copter? Why would they sell it so quick? The double reduction
seems to be prone to problems and weight. The thrust line would be kind of
high for a kolb with the double reduction. If you are really considering a
BMW why not go with a German conversion that is being offered with a larger
CC engine, gear reduction and a clutch?

Dear Lister,
Please read over the Kolb-List Usage Guidelines below. The complete
Kolb-List FAQ including these Usage Guidelines can be found at the
following URL:
http://www.matronics.com/FAQs/Kolb-List.FAQ.html
Thank you,
Matt Dralle
Matronics Email List Administrator
******************************************************************************
Kolb-List Usage Guidelines
******************************************************************************
The following details the official Usage Guidelines for the Kolb-List.
You are encouraged to read it carefully, and to abide by the rules therein.
Failure to use the Kolb-List in the manner described below may result
in the removal of the subscribers from the List.
Kolb-List Policy Statement
The purpose of the Kolb-List is to provide a forum of discussion for
things related to this particular discussion group. The List's goals
are to serve as an information resource to its members; to deliver
high-quality content; to provide moral support; to foster camaraderie
among its members; and to support safe operation. Reaching these goals
requires the participation and cooperation of each and every member of
the List. To this end, the following guidelines have been established:
- Please keep all posts related to the List at some level. Do not submit
posts concerning computer viruses, urban legends, random humor, long
lost buddies' phone numbers, etc. etc.
- THINK carefully before you write. Ask yourself if your post will be
relevant to everyone. If you have to wonder about that, DON'T send it.
- Remember that your post will be included for posterity in an archive
that is growing in size at an extraordinary rate. Try to be concise and
terse in your posts. Avoid overly wordy and lengthy posts and
responses.
- Keep your signature brief. Please include your name, email address,
aircraft type/tail number, and geographic location. A short line
about where you are in the building process is also nice. Avoid
bulky signatures with character graphics; they consume unnecessary
space in the archive.
- DON'T post requests to the List for information when that info is
easily obtainable from other widely available sources. Consult the
web page or FAQ first.
- If you want to respond to a post, DO keep the "Subject:" line of
your response the same as that of the original post. This makes it
easy to find threads in the archive.
- When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in your
response. DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in" the
reader to the topic at hand, but be selective. The impact that
quoting the entire original post has on the size of the archive
can not be overstated!
- When the poster asks you to respond to him/her personally, DO NOT
then go ahead and reply to the List. Be aware that clicking the
"reply" button on your mail package does not necessarily send your
response to the original poster. You might have to actively address
your response with the original poster's email address.
- DO NOT use the List to respond to a post unless you have something
to add that is relevant and has a broad appeal. "Way to go!", "I
agree", and "Congratulations" are all responses that are better sent
to the original poster directly, rather than to the List at large.
- When responding to others' posts, avoid the feeling that you need to
comment on every last point in their posts, unless you can truly
contribute something valuable.
- Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your tone
polite and respectful. Don't make snide comments, personally attack
other listers, or take the moral high ground on an obviously
controversial issue. This will only cause a pointless debate that
will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing.
