Howard and All;
Repairing the gear leg sockets isn't that big of a job. You don't have to
replace the entire socket.
Cut out the damaged area and leave enough of the original socket in place on
each end to allow for sliding a replacement tube on.
Use .058 tubing that will slip over the original stubs. Cut the replacement
tubing at 30 degree angles on both ends long enough to overlap the original
sockets stubs. Slide the tubing over one end of the stubs and then slide it
back over the other stub and weld it in.
I have done several this way.

When my left side collapsed, the gear leg was up at about a 90 degree angle;
many of the tubes going to the sockets are bent. Even the bracket that holds
the bottom of the lift strut is bent. Still, it looks doable.

Downwash refers to the downward component of the relative wind velocity
vector as it leaves the wing. Due to lift causing a change in momentum of
the relative wind, the wind is angled slightly down aft of the wing.
There's upwash outboard of the wingtips, which you're familiar with due to
the wingtip vortices. Not as commonly known is that the vortex (called
"circulation") extends spanwise the length of the wing, too. Looking at the
airplane form the top, the centerlines of the entire circulation system make
a huge "U" shape, with the two legs going aft until they dissipate and the
bottom of the "U" located right down the middle (more commonly taken as the
quarter-chord point, but I'm trying to paint with a broad brush here) of
the wing, from one wing-tip to the other. Within the "U", you've got
downwash. Outside the "U" there's upwash.
And yes, that means that there's upwash in front of the wing, too.
As you might expect, all this upwash and downwash varies greatly with
position and airplane lift, weight, altitude, etc. Also, this is for
subsonic flight. If you wish to take your Kolb supersonic, you'll need to
apply different rules.
These concepts are not generally taught to pilots. Look for something ever
so slightly more engineering-oriented.

Pat,
I have a 447 on my Firefly, and I've been having similarly high EGT's when
I come off of full throttle. I have experimented with main jets 165-180
and needle jets 2.70-2.74. EGT's still climbed out of range (above 1200)
with the richer jets, although maybe a little slower. I've enrichened the
mixture to the point of fouling plugs and still haven't found an acceptable
solution.
Here's some other symptoms I've been having. The front plug is showing a
lean burn (white color), and the rear is showing about right (brown
color). Also the engine seems to be lacking horsepower. Two days ago I
took a 2-blade Powerfin off my friends 447 and put it on my 447. He gets
about 6400 rpm. I only got about 5700 rpm with my engine. My engine is
about 4 yrs old with only about 30 hrs on it. I bought it about 3 months
ago with about 20 hrs on it.
Last night I checked head bolt torques and put on 4 new intake manifold
gaskets. I didn't find anything suspect during this process. I haven't
run the engine yet after this. I'll let you know if anything "magic" comes
from the torque checking and new gaskets.
Puzzled in Illinois,
Mark Anliker

I'd be doing a leakdown test on the cylinders and a pressure test for the
crankcase. Sounds like you might have leaky crankcase seals. Kirk

Hello all,
I am Wayne McCullough and I have purchased a Kolbra serial number 4. I am

I would like to know how to pull pictures of Kolbs (any) up on the e-mail

Welcome! I looked for photos of Kolbras in the photo share and didn't see
anything but there are many great ideas shown. The link to the photo share
is on the bottom of every Kolb message. John Williamson has a Kolbra and his
web site is http://home.comcast.net/~kolbrapilot/ You will want to check
out his fine well traveled bird. There are also photos at the NEW New Kolb
web site and hopefully they will get their web site sorted out shortly it is
at http://207.234.166.41/

Such as, say, Kutta-Jukowski and Prandtl's irrotational flow theory?
Free vortex sheet theory......
You know how long I've been waiting to use that one?

Wayne,
Welcome to the list.How long have you had your kit? How far along on it are you? I have Kolbra #12 and are finished with the tail and wings and starting work on the fuselage.I have started a website www.c-gate.net/~ppetty I also have a great CD of Mark Germans Kolbra. Lots of good ideas there. I had another Kolbra builder visit me yesterday.Kenneth Reeves from Alabama.

Trying to figure out the best way to install an Icom A21 handheld into a
FSII and maybe somebody on the list can answer a question for me:
It has a power input socket in it so it can be run off the airplane's power
supply. But when it is used in this mode, do you leave the battery pack on
it or take it off? Or does it matter?
Thanks

Not sure what an A-21 is, but here's the manual for the A-22:
http://www.icomamerica.com/support/manuals/ic-a22.pdf Battery subject
starts on page 7.
If you need the battery pack charged, leave it on. But, you risk setting
a
Memory Effect if it isn't discharged all the way, and you're not running the
plane for the 15 hours it takes to fully charge. :>)
Best to charge the battery pack from a wall socket, and then stow it away
for emergency use. Run the radio directly off the plane's power. That's
what I do with my A-3 and A-22. Takes up less room that way, too.

Richard/Gang:
I fly with an ICOM A3 mounted in the MKIII. I have flown with it with
and without the battery. It is cute when it its sitting there without
the battery because it is so tiny. However, I think it works better,
and gives one the choice of operating mobile should the aircraft go
down. It may also help filter out a little more RF noise associated
with little airplane flying.
I now fly with the battery attached. It gets recharged every time I
fly.
Take care,
john h

A while back there were comments on the List regarding nut-serts. Recently, I
was reminded of that conversation when I was called to work on a machine in one
of the hotel kitchens. A stainless steel panel was held on with 4 - 6 mm screws
driven into nutserts on the frame. 2 of them were tight, and despite trying
to ease them out, they spun, and then the fun started. Couldn't get at them
from behind, and the screws were a hard grade of stainless, so I had fits trying
to drill them out. Ruined several drill bits, but finally did get them,
of course, and now I'm more solidly convinced than ever that those things will
not ever find a place on anything I build or work on.
