Jack, Richard, All,
I took another step in the reduction of noise on my FireFly and thought I would
share. As most of you know, I made a big improvement in the sound level by
cutting my prop tips to the Top Flight configuration. After doing that, it
became clear that most of the noise I was hearing was from the carburetor
intake. So, I decided to pursue that. After looking around at ideas and asking
for information to build my own silencer, I finally conceded to purchase the one
made by Rotax. Was able to purchase one at a reduced price and thought it would
be worth the experiment.
Richard, I was surprised when I got the silencer that the two ports that are
inserted into the plastic chamber are of the same length which goes counter to
what I was told is the science of sound wave cancellation. The good news is
that it works!! I guess who ever engineered this for Rotax must know
something. I did have to mount the silencer upside down to allow my being able
to fold the wings, but this turned into an advantage in that the air filter is
facing rearward now and not taking the blast of the air stream head on. This
also made it easier to make the mounting brackets which I attached to the engine
cowling.
I changed the main jet to #155 as recommended by Rotax for a 447 and had
expected some loss of performance or having to mess with needle position, etc.
To my great surprise and pleasure, everything stayed the same. EG temps, CH
temps, RPM and performance were the same!!! Wonder if my fuel use will change
because of the smaller main? Will have to fly some more to determine that.
Anyway, I'm pleased with the further reduction in noise. With my standard
passive headset on, I have less noise then driving down the highway with the
windows open. Don't have a DB meter to give any definitive numbers.
Now , I'm hearing the prop chopping because of it's close clearance to the
aileron tube. Having a wood prop keeps me from putting a spacer on. So I'm
looking at Jack's idea of fairing the aileron tube to cut turbulence. Think I
will make up some temporary fairings and tape them on to evaluate.
Sorry for the long post, hope it's of some value to the list,
Terry - Firefly #95

I have seen about eight responses re my question on how to get the sticky-back
Velcro off after it wears out. You folks are the kind that makes this list worthwhile.
The use of solvents (gasoline, Goo-getter, mineral spirits etc) all require soaking
to the adhesive through the Velcro strip. I found that the backing for this
material was sealed air tight and would not allow the solvent to penetrate
to the adhesive. The solvent would have to be worked in around the edges to do
it's work.
After an appropriate amount of agonizing I decided to try the heat gun first because
it was the easiest. The heat was applied with a hair blower type gun, set
at "lo" heat, with great care to keep it on the Velcro and away from the adjacent
fabric. I could only do about four inches at a time but it worked and I
had it all off in about 15 minutes. Whew!
I re-activated the adhesive that remained on the fabric with a quick wipe of ascetone
and applied the new "Industrial Strength" Velcro. It went on beautifully
and looks like it will be plenty tight.
One note of caution: The leading edge of the forward panel of my wing gap cover
is mechanically locked in place but the back part has to be Velcroed so that
the ballistic chute can blow the whole panel open if it is ever fired. The aft
panel is locked in place by straps. I would not feel safe if the Velcro was the
only thing holding the wing gap cover in place because I have learned that
it does loose it's grip over time.
Thanks for the help guys,
Duane Mitchell, Tallahassee, FL

I use Microsoft Works Calendar with great satisfaction. I think it is included
in many computer software packages when sold by the retailer. If your PC did not
have it I think you can buy a new version pretty cheap or find an older version
free for download. I don't know where though.

W_A_R_N_I_N_G____:
Ron;
I would be very suspect of the link to a free
Date Manager program that you were told
to visit ....... the primary concern is that it is
another part of a T_E_R_R_I_B_L_E kind
of company called GAIN.
This company is responsible for MANY,
MANY TRACKING PROGRAMS that are
installed into unsuspecting users' machines
when they think all they are doing is getting
a nice little benign tool to assist in their
daily, simple, tasks. It is far more of a
SPYWARE program than anything that you
will benefit from.
NOT RECOMMENDED.

George, Ron, All
George your right, it is GAIN backed. I forgot and should have mentioned
this, "I'm sorry all". I have had this on our pc's for two years plus and
it seems to be not intrusive at all, besides a Pop-up every now and then. I
do use and enjoy the ease of this program though. But you are right noth'in
is free anymore. Thank's for you input!

--> Kolb-List message posted by: "Rick Pearce" <rap@isp.com>
I recently purchased the wing kit for a Kolb Classic 3 from a fellow
worker. As I under stand it I can still buy the classic or the xtra. How cramped
is the classic? I keep hearing talk about how much more leg room the xtra
has. I'm 6foot 3inches tall and weight 310. I'm planning on flying the plane
as a single. I have never sat in a Kolb classic to see how cramped it is.
Also is anyone flying the Kolb 3 with HKS700E engine? I would like
a preformance report.

Welcome to the Kolb list.
I figured I would go ahead and put my three cents worth in and we'll see
what others think.
I fly a Classic with a little narrower enclosure than stock, I am 6' tall
and 190#, plenty of room. I can take up to a 260 # passenger and stay
within the weight and balance envelope but things get real cozy.
I let a 300 + # fellow sit in my bird one day to see if he fit and the
answer was a definite no. It was a width problem mostly, I don't think the
door would even have shut. The Classic is not a smallish two seater, but it
has its limitations. If you can, I suggest taking a trip down to TNK and try
both on for size, I think you will find the Extra a better fit.
On the subject of the HKS, it is on the under powered side for a Mk-3, it
would perform similar to a Rotax 503 with a 3.47 to 1 gearbox and a large
prop. This is not quite enough umph for either Mk-3 models "in my opinion".
Homer and gang tried an HKS on a Slingshot some years back and thought it
was under powered, I understand that HKS has made some improvements since
these tests, but the Mk-3 is a lot more of a load than a Slingshot so I am
sure it still would be marginal. Maybe someone else has first hand
experience, also give Tom Olenik at Olenik Aviation a call, he sells the HKS
and Rotax and could give you good info about it.
Good Luck, and again welcome aboard.
Denny Rowe, Mk-3, Leechburg, PA
