After talking to you and making tentative arrangemnets on SnF I got ahold of
Rich Swiderski, who you said was a nice guy, and who I found out lives only
12.5 miles away from me on Rt 475. I found out as usual that you were totally
right, that he and Katy really are very nice people so we decided to go to the
SnF together CAMPING OUT IN HIS HANDBUILT TRAILOR!!
Now, I'm just a city boy who for many years as an engineer for GM learned how
to drink a lotta coffee, and......well, I guess that's it ....drink a lotta
coffee. Turns out that Rich is a do fella. Yup, he actually does things, like
build his plane, modify it, works on an engine dream of his (which he will show
at SnF) serves as model for upncomin Catholics through his church, and
.......camps out with great planning, in a trailer that can be home to his plane
or
variegated people.....(just made that word up, cause along with the coffee
ability, my imp thinks it has to be pretendin all the time).
I'm the cook at SnF in the campgrounds in Rich's trailer. You are most
welcome to come by with Johann and share whatever we have - I also bought a buncha
food...things like weiners, n lettuce,n perppers n stuff. We got chairs for
hangarflyin, food, juice, cots,some of my toys, and other amusements.Hope to see
you for the first time .... watch out, now, my face is kinda funny
lookin....and bring whomever you please...the more the merrier...singin isn't even

--> Kolb-List message posted by: "Fackler, Ken" <kfackler@ameritech.net>
Gentlemen:
Yesterday was the first flight of my Mark II with its new engine and miscellaneous
other mods and refits. I'm happy to report that it all went very well. As
one would expect, there's some slight tweaking needed in the carb setup as the
EGT temps were just a tad above nominal, but that's it. I can't believe how nervous
I was. I don't think I was that wired when I did my first solo over twenty
years ago. Of course, back then I didn't know squat about anything so I was
probably too dumb to be scared!
Summary:
New Rotax 503 DCDI with oil injection
New Bing 54 carbs
New panel and new, shielded wiring throughout
New EIS with ALT and VSI
New starboard fuel tank and new fuel hoses throughout
New fuel primer
New tailwheel
New fiberglass landing gear
New pitot tube and added a static port
New combo radio/GPS mount
On that last item, one note. I've always had airspeed read very high. While it
was tough to get an exact reading during the test flight yesterday because the
air was so choppy, I'm qualitatively sure that the airspeeds are now much closer
and may in fact be dead on.

Morning Gang:
This is one of my favorite flying pictures. I took this one 13 July
2001, while on approach, several miles south of Anaktuvuk Pass,
Alaska.
http://home.elmore.rr.com/jhauck/Barrow%202001/Anaktuvuk%20Pass,%20Alaska%202001
Anaktuvuk Pass (pronounced "anna two vuck") is 85 sm north of Bettles
and 60 sm west of Atigun Pass and the Dalton or Pipeline Haul Road.
During the Summer, Bettles is accessible only by air. There are no
roads from the Dalton Highway. I had been flying this route for the
first time, for about an hour through the unpopulated, rugged Brooks
Mountain Range, when the picture popped up in my windshield. It was a
welcome sight.
It would take the rest of the afternoon to fly from Anaktukvuk Pass to
Gailbraith Lake, 70 sm, then north 125 sm, along the Dalton Highway
(gravel road), to Dead Horse. At Dead Horse I am one flight away, 205
sm, from Point Barrow, northernmost point of the North American
Continent, and my turn around point.
Aren't these Kolb airplanes something!
Take care,

Hey John/Guys,
Those flights that you've taken (and still do) to me are Pretty Amazing,
But, I can imagine what some of the people in those VERY UNPOPULATED, in the
middle of nowhere towns think...when you come Buzzin in.... they probly look
to the left & right and ask "Where in the hell did you come from?"
I'll bet the stories going around up there are about a guy that Flew up
here in a ULTRALIGHT...
I know "I" always have to tell people " It's not an ultralight , It's a
LIGHT aircraft and you NEED a Pilots Cert. to fly it."...
Nice picture!

Hi Mike/Gang:
The friendly acceptance of my airplane, and me, was never in question
in Northern BC, YT, and Alaska. To those I met, I was just another
person traveling by light plane, a most common occurence up there.
Most of the "rude" comments come from folks in the "lower 48", usually
GA types that have never experienced the pleasure we do with our
little airplanes. I did have one guy, a "chichaco" as the Alaskans
call us rubber necking tourists, ask he, "What the Hell kind of
contraption", my airplane was. He did not get an answer from from me.
I was up on the tailboom refueling, just prior to departure from
Bettles for Anaktuvuk Pass. He had flown in to Bettles on one of the
tourists flights so they could say they had been north of the Arctic
Circle.
Take care,
john h

Boyd,
<<vertex standard vxa 700 .. antenna .. resonant from the bottom of the
fm broadcast band to 162 mhz .. multielement dipole or a traped dipole>>
The Vertex Standard (nee Yaesu) at $380 looks like a real value. For
the price of an aircraft handheld you get FM broadcast, aircraft
vor/localizer nav, aircraft com, ham 2 meters and weather. I'm looking
forward to seeing it as well as you and the gang at Monument Valley.
If you really needed resonance from 88-162 MHz, the only way to go would
be a log-periodic (that takes me back to the mid-60's with Hy-Gain
Electronics). Now that would be something to see mounted on top of a Kolb.
Of course, since you are only transmitting on 118-130(or so) and 144-148
then a multi-element flexible dipole might work quite well. The trapped
dipole is mechanically and electronically more complex and less
desirable since the critical application is the lower frequency. In
other words, aircraft com would suffer the losses and radiation
inefficiencies of the traps.
Perhaps a vertical X with about a 30 degrees included angle and the coax
running straight down from the intersection of the legs. Make the 4
legs out of coax braid (RG-11 braid even better) for slightly more
broadband performance. If you don't mind cable which is a few years
old, I can bring down enough RG-58 to really experiment. I'll bet the
receiver's performance can easily make up for any out of band
inefficiencies. We should set up an electronics seminar and charge
admission.
Take care,

Of course my antenna design/test days of late '40s are long past, but I
really doubt that any antenna known to man (?) can be
designed/constructed to be "resonate" over any band of frequencies. If
you define resonance at that frequency which delivers the maximum energy
to the receiver (or the maximum energy from the transmitter to the area
surrounding it), both actual and mathematical tests bring out the fact
that resonance occurs at one discreet frequency. If you are willing to
say that the circuit(antenna) will still deliver an output somewhat
diminished from the maximum, then you can say that at frequencies that
are different than the center(desired) frequencies, you will have less
gain. Many antennas are advertised as have a "bandwith" of x
frequencies, maybe meaning that the antenna has gain of 6db to 3db over
the band of 120-130 mHz. This means that the gain falls off from 125mHz
(6 db) to 3 db at the end frequencies. It's only resonate at 125 mHz.
While it's true that there exist several multi-element antennas that
exhibit a reasonable "flat" gain over a range of frequencies, these are
not practical for (small) aircraft. LogPeriodics and discones for instance.
Flame away!

I'm doing a bit of maintenance before starting my 2004 flying season so I
thought I'd replace some fuel line. I ordered it from Olenik and received
it very quickly. Thanx Tom. My question is this. Is there any "easy" way
to slip the line over the various connections? Dang that's hard to do
without removing things off the plane. Any suggestions would be
appreciated.

Hi Everyone:
I just got off the telephone with Homer Kolb. It was great to talk to
him again, as always. He is really busy, as he always is. However,
when I started telling him about the Unplanned 2d Annual Kolb Flyin at
Monument Valley, his ears perked up and I was able to get him to
commit to the trip unless something unforeseen comes up between now
and then. He sounded as excited about this flyin as the rest of us
who were there last year and all the new folks that are planning on
making the journey for the first time this year.
I am going to keep my fingers crossed and include Homer in my prayers.
Hopefully, a good word here and there may be of benefit to get Homer
and Clara Kolb out to our flyin.
Folks, everyone is invited to attend. Do not have to be a Kolber to
make the journey. However, we may convert ya if you are not careful.
Would also like to give Bruce Chesnut, owner of The New Kolb Aircraft
Company a personal invite to attend. I have not talked to him or any
of the other Kolb people except to let them know that we are going
back out this May.
I will try to depart for Sun and Fun in Miss P'fer in the morning.
Should be down there tomorrow evening. However, the weather is "iffy"
and I may not get out of here until Tuesday morning. Will play it by
ear and see you all down there when I get there.
Take care,
john h

Hi Bob,

mHz. .. It's only resonate at 125 mHz. .. multi-element antennas ..
"flat" .. over a range of frequencies, not practical for (small)
aircraft. LogPeriodics and discones for instance. .. Flame away! ..

Nothing to flame about. Of course, you are correct the narrow (pun
intended) definition of resonance is a discrete frequency (or discrete
set of frequencies for multiple radiating elements and 3 times these
frequencies and 5 times this set and 7 times etc., to be technical 8
).
No doubt you understood Boyd and I were using the term as shorthand for
"reasonably well matched for the range of frequencies" which is common
when discussing antennas. Boyd and I would probably agree "reasonably
well matched" means an impedance between 25 to 100 ohms for a 50 ohm
system such as aircraft radios. But nothing wrong with making sure
everyone else understands what we mean.
Forgot about discones, would like to see one of those on a Kolb even
more than a log-periodic!
