Dave. do not archive -----Original Message----- From: Earl & Mim Zimmerman [SMTP:emzi@supernet.com] Subject: Kolb-List: Radio Interference Fixes? --> Kolb-List message posted by: Earl & Mim Zimmerman <emzi@supernet.com> Fellow Flyers, I am in the process of installing an Icom A-21 radio in my plane with a 582 and need to do something about the radio interference from the engine. I was wondering what kind of wire can or should be used for shielded kill switch wires? I have some 18 gauge shielded "security system" wire. Would that work ok for the kill wires? Is there anything else that I should be doing? Do you just shield the kill wires or must I shield the a/c alternator wires going to the rectifier / regulator? I have installed the resister spark plugs but have not installed the shielded caps or ign. wires. I have not had a chance to recheck it since replacing the plugs. Thanks, Earl Z.

Earl, I always run the kill wires in shielded two conductor 16-18 awg Beldon, I use the NGK resistive plugs and caps like Tom Olenik sales. My radio is the A-21 and in three differant aircraft, I have never had ignition interference. No need for the metal spark plug caps or shielded plug wires as far as I've seen.

    Subject: Revised Recomendation On MicroAir 760
    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Doug Lawton" <skyrider2@earthlink.net> John, First let me say, I've not started purchasing any radio or electronic gear for my current project yet, (still sanding and filling, etc.) so virtually everything I say is third hand experience (So much for my CMA disclaimer). Your additional questions got me to wondering about the radio and built in intercom, so I called my Bro' up in TN to get an update. Well, the guy on our field who was having the intermittent problems, is still having them. Said it cleared up for about 2 months when he found the wiring problem, and then started doing it again. After extensive additional searching, he pulled the instrument and sent it back to the factory. So far, he hasn't gotten it back. I guess dealing with a company as far away as Australia can be a pain. He did mention that his first impression of the folks he'd dealt with at MicroAir wasn't positive. They were very defensive and arrogant regarding their product and whether or not it could have possibly have been their fault for the problems he was having. Time will tell but that's not usually a good sign. He was quoted something like $400.00 bucks to service the radio plus shipping. Sounds kinda high for a $700.00 retail radio. Also, Brother John has one of these radios in his single place sailplane, it came with the plane when he bought it. Obviously, he's not using the intercom function in a single place, but he said that he's had problems with the radio also. He didn't go into much detail other than to say he'd never by another one. He went with a Garmin 250 XL GPS/COM in his current project. And, he said that most of the guys on the field are using the "Becker" AR 4201 which is a bit more expensive, but fits the same size hole, has intercom, internal lighting among other features. Spruce lists it at $1095.00. Anyhow, I thought that since I had given the apparent wrong impression in my earlier response, that I'd clear that up. I'll just shut up now and stop giving out advice on things I have no "first hand" experience with..........; ) Come see us when you get the chance! Fly Safely, Doug NE Georgia & Whitwell TN Doug/All: Mine too, Doug. How well does the intercom work? Was not clear whether it had a PTT capability for intercom or "turn on, leave on" as I understood from all the searches I did for info last night. Sky Sports sells a wiring harness for $190.00, which is way too much for that. Are you familiar with the requirements for wiring the radio? I wonder if the plug on the wiring harness comes with the radio? If so, it probably will not be that difficult to do my own wiring. Most of my intercom/VHF comm problems have been traced to wiring damage caused by the infamous rats a couple years ago. Every once in a while more damage in the form of chewed wires and cut wire insulation appears. They can do a lot of damage and in places one can not see. Thanks for the info, john h

Do I need to install an additional hinge a little closer to the wing tip? I know that with an extra hinge there may be some binding as the aileron is moving while the wing is flexing and the hinges are out of line. No plans to do it right now.

I may have to head down to Panacea for my regular seafood fix at any moment. If I need numbers and engineering, I can always count on Duane to help me out. He is definitely an engineer. I would like to see him and Jack Hart get together. Wouldn't matter if anyone else was around or not. These two guys would be locked up in numbers and engineer stuff. The wings built to Kolb specs with counterbalance weights get the job done for me. I used more hinge, but not necessary. My personal choice to do so. john h

Because it was exactly this "training hoop" (referred to by the Kolb Factory as a "noseover hoop") that saved my nose fairing from incurring damage when I did my first-ever "landing" in my Mark-3. Got too slow while still 8 feet up and pancaked it onto the asphalt. Bent both gear legs AND the nose hoop, but no other damage (other than my pride). I installed a new hoop, and now that I've learned how to land my Kolb, I probably do not need that nose hoop. But I'm gonna leave it there just in case!

I can get down to some serious prop calibration when it gets here. Then on to other maintenance and repairs for the trip to MV and AK. Times a wasting. I too have put the MKIII on its nose. With a "large" gent in the right seat of "Fat Albert", I turned the tail to the wind at S&F. Forgot to shove the stick forward and she was on her nose. Helpless feeling sitting like that at the fence with all those spectators staring at us. hehehe Also put the Fire Fly on its nost a couple years ago, at S&F. Same thing minus the passenger. Fast taxi downwind. Oops! Big problem was the 447 was set to idle too fast, dry grass, good tail wind, and little brakes. Had a hard time getting the little bugger stopped so I could get it back on its tail wheel. The above explains why Miss P'fer looks and sits a little different from stock Kolbs. She had never been on her nose because of balanced weight on the mains. As long as the Kolbs are balanced so close to the cg on the mains, they are going to be prone to getting up on their snouts. :-) Its either the training hoop or a hole in the nose pod to get you foot down on the ground to stop it from tipping up. john h DO NOT ARCHIVE

    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "boyd young" <by0ung@brigham.net> The intercomm is not voice operated - you turn it on with a switch. You can make it a momentary contact switch like a PTT or a panel switch to leave it on all the time. The Sigtronics intercomm was very easy to hook up just the mic and headphone line to the pilot's side of the Microair. The intercom delivers sound to both. I didn't use the PTT wiring of the intercom, I just wired the switch directly to the Microair. Works like a champ. when i first got my sigtronics spo22n i used a ptt that was between the intercom and the radio... was always told the audio was poor.... started using the ptt functon of the intercom and was told that things were a lot more clear. boyd

    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Christopher Armstrong" <tophera@centurytel.net> Especially after hearing the blazing discription of it from someone who seemed not to know what he was talking about. If you're talking about me, I knew what I was talking about ( I have that plans sheet in my workshop with the plane) and I still don't think that adding the mod on every rib on the plane is an efficient way to increase the strength of the wing for flight loads. Putting it on the outboard rib to handle ground handling or wing tip strike loads makes sense. Adding it to every rib in the plane to handle airloads is not the most efficient use of material. Dennis S. designed the mod, and I think he agreed with me. I don't think it is a bad thing to do, it will indeed stiffen up the ribs and it doesn't weight much. I didn't want to sound "blazing" about it, but it didn't make sense to me to take a truss wing rib structure and add a cantilevered wing rib structure on top of it. Adding triangulation out of the plane of the rib will stiffen it up much more for a given amount of weight. (adding 2 tubes at +-45 degrees from the leading edge tube to the main spar stiffens up the front of the wing very well.) The ribs on the Kolb's are held in column by the fabric. On their own they have very little strength (almost none) out of plane. The angle mod does a great job of stiffening this up, but out of plane triangulation does the job using less material. If you are not talking about me then never mind Topher Do not archive

    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Guy Morgan" <morganguy@hotmail.com> Hey Guys. We always use MIL-DTL-27500-22SB1T23 shielded wire for avionics installs. The -22 is the guage, the SB is shielded/braided, the # following SB 1/2/ or 3 etc. is the # of strands. When you install comm wires, be sure to only ground one end of the shield. Otherwise, you'll set up a ground loop and cause all kinds of noise and poor performance. Lemme know if I can be of further assistance. Guy Morgan ( Galveston Kolber wanna-be) -- Kolb-List message posted by: Earl Mim Zimmerman emzi@supernet.com Fellow Flyers, I am in the process of installing an Icom A-21 radio in my plane with a 582 and need to do something about the radio interference from the engine. I was wondering what kind of wire can or should be used for shielded kill switch wires? I have some 18 gauge shielded "security system" wire. Would that work ok for the kill wires? Is there anything else that I should be doing? Do you just shield the kill wires or must I shield the a/c alternator wires going to the rectifier / regulator? I have installed the resister spark plugs but have not installed the shielded caps or ign. wires. I have not had a chance to recheck it since & gt; replacing the plugs. Thanks, Earl Z. Earl, I always run the kill wires in shielded two conductor 16-18 awg Beldon, I use the NGK resistive plugs and caps like Tom Olenik sales. My radio is the A-21 and in three differant aircraft, I have never had ignition interference. No need for the metal spark plug caps or shielded plug wires as far as I've seen.

JUST KIDDING. :-) The mod has worked for me and continues to work. It may not be the best in the world for you or anyone else. At the time, it solved a requirement, and keeps on doing just that. Thank goodness I don't have to explain how it works, but I'm happy. My mod and I like it. Yes, I agree, the fabric also assist keeping the rib noses in column, but the leading edge has a critical roll. If the leading edge is not properly braced, fails laterally, the rib noses also fail. I saw that happen on my Firestar. Thus, a primary reason for me to try to get a little more mileage out of my wings. I probably should hire you on as my resident engineer, but we would both starve to death. Take care and no hard feelings, john h DO NOT ARCHIVE

Your explanation was good enough for me but I may download the service manual anyway since I am a glutton for data...it gives me the illusion that I actually understand some of this stuff. The most valuable information was that it works to 12,000 ft and beyond and that is good enough for me. As Tom Olenik said, the convenience of not having to manually change the retainer position periodically makes it all worth while. When I had the HAC on my old 582 powered Zenith 701, I adjusted the HAC twice a year, in late fall, and late spring just to make sure all was up to snuff. Thom in Buffalo
