Kolbers,
I was at a local Sea Doo dealer recently and checked out the engine in a showroom
Sea Doo.
A 1500cc inline triple 4 stroke available normally aspirated in 155hp, supercharged
at 185hp, or intercooled & supercharged at 215hp. They also now use a clsed
loop cooling system like sleds or our aircraft.
All I can say is Wow!
Seems the four stroke revolution is in high gear and the future looks bright for
lighter weight high performance engines.

If you look at these and some of the newer 1000cc sportbike engines,
there is some very impressive stuff out there. Would be great for
someone to start adapting one to a gearbox to use on a plane...

Hi Ken,
Welcome to the list. I'm sure you already know to be careful with the
sandblasting due to the thin wall of the 4130. I wouldn't consider using
a "big dog" sandblasting outfit with sand in it. I have had a couple of
cages blasted by a guy that specializes in old cars and he uses plastic
media.
On the ribs you may want to consider buying the 5/16 x .035 tubing and
trying to rebuild the rib around the spar if they are not messed up too
bad.
How many hours on the 377? Rotax recommends replacing the crank on them
at the 300 hour rebuild time. Good luck and you should be able to find
lots of help on the list with your project.

--> Kolb-List message posted by: "Ken Harrison"
--> <kenharrison@onlinexpress.net>
Hello all,
I am new to the list and have started to rebuild an original Firestar.
Several of the ribs will need to be replaced, and I understand you can't
buy rib components anymore. What current production Kolb has a rib most
similar to the original Firestar's. I think this plane was built in the
early 90s.
Also, I am considering rebuilding the Rotax 377 on this plane. It has
never been rebuilt and I'm wondering mostly about the crank. Is it like
a certificated aircraft crank that can be reused as long as it's within
the wear limits? What is the best course of action here? (Short of
buying a new
503.)
Thanks for any help.
Ken Harrison

Good Morning Gang:
Finally got around to reading and catching up on the FAA Preliminary

In the 19 Apr reports was the following accident:

***************************************************
As soon as I saw Prospector, I became alarmed. There were only two
built. Tom and Betty Kuffel, Whitefish, MT, own one. Tom is a long
time member of the Kolb List. They were both at our First Annual
Unorganized/Unplanned Kolb Flyin at Monument Valley.
After a quick search of the FAA Aircraft Data Base I learned this is
Tom and Betty's Prospector. I will do what I can to find out where
they are located. Seems both are in serious condition. If anyone
else would like to help out in locating them, please join in and lets
see what we can do. I would like very much to find out their
condition and perhaps give them a call.
This is not a good way to start the day. Tom and Betty were to be a
part of our flight to Alaska. We were to depart from their home in
Whitefish, MT, 1 July 2004.
Take care,
john h

Hi guys,
Well, it's official. There have been enough engines in the field getting
high hours and be inspected for HKS to raise the TBO of the 700-E to 800
hours. A valid TBO. So just change the oil and 3 spark plug changes before
then. If you would rather fly than work on the engine, it's so nice.

Hi Gang:
Excellent news.
I finally located Tom and Betty Kuffel. Just got off the phone with
Betty. She sounded 100%, which is her normal status.
They were over very rugged terrain, the Prospector developed carb ice.
Tom did not detect it in time due to the constant speed prop. They
went into 80 to 100 ft trees on a very steep slope after the
Prospector stalled. Betty thinks after the wings were torn off, the
fuselage slid down the tree trunks, and landed inverted.
It took six hours to find and winch them out of the mountains. Betty
said the ELT went off and thanks to her Verizon cell phone, they were
located and evacuated to St Patrick Hospital in Missoula, MT.
She told me to tell the Kolb List that they both were in good spirits.
Betty has an open trauma wound on her leg as the result of a leg
fracture. Tom got a bit more damage, but is in good shape considering
the landing. Betty will be out of the hospital in a few days, Tom a
little longer.
They had their little dog with them and some how the dog wondered off
and did not get picked up when Tom and Betty were extracted from the
crash site. Hopefully, the little fella will turn up. Our dogs are
like our children to some of us.
She hopes we will still come by on our way to Alaska, but said they're
plans to go had definitely changed.
I am so grateful they are both going to be ok. We will miss them at
MV and on our flight to Alaska. They are great people.
Take care,
john h
PS: If anyone wants to call Betty, she is in Rm 425. The operator
number is 1-406-543-7271.

Got me back.
That one was taken right after I landed, by Issac, with my camera.
My teeth were chattering and I was looking for more clothes to put on

Good thing I only flew half as far as John W, or I really would have

John,
Thank you so much for researching this and getting the good news. Betty
sounds cheerful and says their injuries are "orthopedic" mostly. Expect Tom
to be in a wheel chair for about 3 months, but all in all they are in very
good spirits. Again, thanks for doing the leg work.

Hi Guys,
Mike Pierzina and I were comapring ways we have come up with to insert and
retain the wing fold pins. He sent me pics of his and here are pics of mine.
You ought to put yours on the web, Mike, so the guys can see two ways of attacking
the same problem. My wings are presently being re-covered so I took the
pic with the wing off the aircraft. The end of the pin is bent 90 degrees to
go into a small hole I drilled into the side of the dowell. The tape holds the
pin into the hole. The "Keeper" bungee is attached the same way. Just aft
of the spot where the bungee attaches to the dowell, you can see some black tape.
This tape has a piece of foam rubber inside to act as a pad for when the
dowell comes up against the rudder. Been using this for a year or so with no
problems.

Thanks John, I just talked to Betty also, took a bit of investigating, and a
couple of good hearted people at the area hospitals, but finally found them
at St Pats Hospital in Missoula MT. The address there is
St Patrick's Hospital 500 West Broadway Missoula, MT 59802
Betty is in Room 425 with a phone Tom is in a intensive care Room 354 with
no phone, yet.
They treated me like Grandparents last summer when I visited other
friends in there area and Tom took me for a days flying in the Prospector,
to view the valley and the forest fires, that were raging at that time. We
landed at several remote mountain strips and saw that beautiful area for the
first time from the air, after regular visits there for 25 years.
As John said, they seem in good spirits, and they should recover very
well, in time. I wish them the best, as I'm sure we all do.

Fellow Kolb Enthusiasts,
The Monument Valley Kolb Gathering is only 23 days away.
It is time for some serious planning (or as serious as we can get).
For logistics reasons, we need to know who is planning on attending and how
many friends or family will be with you.
For the folks that are driving to the Gathering, we need to know who will
bring some extra 5 gallon fuel containers for use by the ones that will be
plane bound.
Please respond to this email by using this email link:
kolbrapilot@comcast.net with "Monument Valley 2004 Kolb Gathering" in the
Subject line.

--> Kolb-List message posted by: lgreen1@sc.rr.com
Hi Ken, I agree with Denny and John. I am rebuilding my Firestar which has one
damaged rib from trailer rash (flew it all last summer like this)the ribs are
riveted together and easy to take apart.
The cranks are no longer availible for the 377 (if I'm wrong maybe Tom will correct
me ) ,so I'd go with Denney's recommendation on that.
If you need any photos or something off the plans let me know.

--> Kolb-List message posted by: "Fackler, Ken" <kfackler@ameritech.net>
Fellow Kolbers:
If you live in or near SE Michigan and the so-called Michigan Thumb, please consider
joining the Greater Thumb Ultralight Flyers (GTUF) on a Round the Thumb
flight on Saturday, June 12, 2004.
Additional information and a reservation form are available at this web site:
www.staliteaviation.com
Click on the June Thumb Trip link on the toolbar.
I realize it's no Monument Valley or Alaska trip, but not all of us are ready for
or interested in flying such an ambitious type of journey. For something a
little shorter, and a little more affordable, our one-day trip might be just the
ticket. If the weather permits us to fly, I can guarantee you'll see some beautiful
countryside and shoreline.

Hello Richard,
Thanks for the hospitality Friday night. It was really a pleasure to get together
with the group and talk with them face to face. You and George made us feel
right at home.
Gene and I appreciate your effort,

I read somewhere that new carb boots should be cleaned before installing and
then someone at Sun in fun said to coat them with lithium grease, anybody know
the correct procedures for these new boots?
Thanks

Lar being wordy ol' Lar, I hadta build another web page, so's I could yak to
my heart's content about how Vamoose is locked down into its' trailer. I'm
actually quite pleased with how it's all worked out.........the plane is
absolutely solid in the trailer. Ohhhhh, Murphy - I didn't say
that............. :-) When I get the trailer up here next week, I'll take
some more pictures, consolidate a couple of pages and publish the whole
mess. Take a look at:
