    Subject: Homer Kolb
    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "John Hauck" <jhauck@elmore.rr.com> Good Morning Folks: Just got off the phone with Clara Kolb. Homer is up in the tractor shed building himself a new shop. Marcus, his son, is taking over the barn for a company he has started. Everyone is doing OK in Pennsylvania. The reason for my call was to find out if Homer and Clara were coming to Sun and Fun this year. Sorry to say, they will be missing the first Lakeland flyin since its inception, back in the 70's. The other reason I called was to invite Homer and Clara to attend our 2d Annual Unorganized Kolb Flyin at Mounument Valley, Utah. We'll have to wait on that answer until Homer "comes down to feed", as Clara put it. Says when he gets started on a project, that is the only time he comes home. It would be great if they can make it. I have my fingers crossed. Take care, john h DO NOT ARCHIVE

    Subject: Conversion of 447 to oil injection
    --> Kolb-List message posted by: jerb <ulflyer@verizon.net> Ok Rotax experts - what would it take and estimated cost to convert my Rotax 447 to oil injection. Particulars regarding the Engine: The engine is a Rotax 447 purchased with the kit in 1997. Question is can the oil injection pump be installed on my engine as it is configured or what may need to be changed. The engine has a Rotax starter that mounts to the side of the engine crank case towards the recoil end parallel to the direction of the crank case. The kits previous owner pulled the recoil off - can't recall for sure but I believe the recoil can be put back on without deleting the starter if needed, just saves weight (###) leaving it off. I don't care about the recoil as I can hand prop it easier. Would like to keep the electric starter. I wouldn't mind having a 503 for the oil injection and wouldn't need to run the engine quite as hard. Would it be cheaper - better to purchase a used 503 and exhaust system and sell the 447 or is conversion the most cost effective. jerb
