I dont think anyone needs to worry about the fergy being a copy of the Kolb
anymore. From what I can see and tell, they have changed the fergy so much
it doesnt even resemble itself any more, let alone a Kolb except it has two
wings and a tail. they are working on a single place all beefed up to take
a 912. gonna be a hot rod but there is not much room in the pit for the
pilot and stuff, less than in the sling shot. everybody has their own
ideas. anyone out there who thinks a 503 is good enough for a fergy two
place, better check with a new widow out there. density altitute and weight
got it and killed the pilot and serious injured the son. bless them all.
hope he makes it. Accident took place in Northern Georgia two weeks ago I
believe. ted cowan

Terry,
Are there any more detailed plans for the Homer flight? What time do
you plan to get there? How long do you plan on staying, and will you be
going back to Shreveport from there? If the weather is real nice I don't
want to miss the activities at Shreveport. Who all is leaving from
Smoketown? ~ Earl

Ed,
So true! I never thought of the carburetors default to WOT in a hand start
configuration. New to aviation, I learn something every day, thank you. This
is interesting to me because as I have been around many ultralight aircraft
machines in the past year or so. I have often stood and watched folks hand
start their machines with a pull start and wondered how many folks have been
injured in this process. Hand propping a GA aircraft, I notice they
recommend one having a pilot at the controls, however I see folk's do alone
without chocks under the wheels all the time! I guess not even the best of
preflight inspections, even checking the throttle cable could prevent this
from becoming an issue. As a matter of fact, just this past weekend a friend
and me went to look at a Super Cat ultralight for sale and the owner started
the engine for us in his shop with the wings off and he did have good chocks
on the wheels. However this was a tractor configuration and the starter rope
was very close to the prop! When it came to life the owner had to rush to
the cockpit to gain control of the machine (a tail wheel aircraft) and he
barley got her slow enough to keep her from nosing over. Scary to think what
might of happened if the wings had been on her!
So I guess the default setting of the carburetor is a personal choice. For
me it's wide open baby! However I have an electric starter and dual disc
matco brakes. If I had to stand outside the cockpit and hand start the
machine I would have a helmet and a close call tether kill wire
attached...........

For what it's worth, Burt Rutan called for wot on cable failure on every
design I remember. Both the of the EZ designs were hand propped for weight
savings. The nose down pusher config was self-chocking and main gear chocks on
a
string were recommended for solo operation. With the original hp guidlines the
ac
would be stable on wot. Even though most of us doubled the hp and added
starters I flew with many of the guys that hand started. Maybe some of Rutan's
logic
can apply here. I found the following web page some time ago, if you go
to the last picture he talks about a remote release for hand starting.
http://users.erols.com/donreid/photos/Tailwheel/kr_tailwheel.htm
A cockpit tailwheel release and wot default might be a good balance of safety.
For what it's worth.

Robert,
Do Not use Aircraft Spruces inexpensive gascolator that is not compatable
with auto fuel, it's seal and bowl SUCK!
I am on my third modification trying to get a combo that seals and stays
sealed when a fuel sample is taken.
I have wound up with a bowl I machined out of 6061 with a groove for an 032
Viton o-ring on the sealing surface. If it leaks this time, I am going to
smash the entire thing with my biggest sledge hammer.

Earl others,
I plan on leaving Shreveport on Saturday morning and either flying to Homers
direct, or meeting Terry and others at Smoketown, depends on what others
making the trip are doing, and how the timing works out.
I will be returning to Shreveport in the afternoon and staying there till
Sunday.
Of course this all depends on the weather and the Good Lords will.

I'm using a gascolator I got from Great Plains Aircraft with a Curtis drain
valve. It seems like it was quite a bit less than they are charging now but
it works well with auto fuel and aviation fuel. It has been in service for
six years with no leaks. The gascolator is mounted at the low point of the
fuel system and the drain valve sticks out the side of the fuselage just
above and forward of the lift strut attachment. I drain and check the fuel
before every flight.

Guys,
I got a call yesterday evening from Wayland LaFont, VP at Gouldings. He
wants to get that "crashed plane" out of there. Heck, I thought the owner
was going to pick it up the following weekend. He's concerned because it
looks bad and doesn't know who the owner is. Neither do I. I talked to
them when they were going home with Uncle Craig's bunch, but didn't get any
names. If any of you know how to contact them, or names, or numbers, or
????, let me know off list. I promised to call Wayland back ASAP with info
and need help. My phone number is 928 771-2295.
Also, I don't know what's happening with the list. I sent this note out
yesterday evening and it hasn't appeared yet. I'm sending this one out as a
"reply" to see if it gets through.

Distance: 4,822 sm (Direct flight is only 3669.5 sm) (Straight line a
lot shorter, but not nearly as fun and interesting)
ETE: 65 hours
Fuel: 321 gal
Not hard to make a pretty good flight out of going and returning home:
9,644 sm
130 hours
642 gal
I hope the flight will be much longer than that though. I also plan
on a flight to Inuvik, North West Territory, Canada, the northernmost
point of the North American Continent in Canada, plus a lot of flying
in the Alaska region to places I did not have a chance to fly to on my
previous two Alaska flights.
The figures, above, are much the same as what I got on the flight to
Barrow, back to Oroville, WA, east to Oshkosh, WI, and south to Titus,
AL.
Wish you all could go with me. I'll take a lot of pictures and try to
keep you updated on the Internet by email.
Take care,
john h

Subject: | Trailering a Kolb FireFly - 2nd try |
--> Kolb-List message posted by: jerb <ulflyer@verizon.net>
Hey Folks,
The new owner of our Kolb FireFly has been fighting weather here in Texas
for several weekends and we have finely decided to transport it on a
trailer to get it home, about 275 miles.
I need some guidance on how to do this on an open trailer with a wood deck
and minimize any chance of damage. I found an old post by Ralph about
leaving the wings on and would prefer leaving the wings attached at the
folding mechanism. This all seems simple until your faced with actually
doing it.
Can it be transported with the tail folded up, and the wings (rotated to a
vertical position) and folded back along side the boom tube supported on
say a old couch cushion on the bed of the trailer and strapped down.
What I had in mind is we would strap the wheels down at the inside axle
with the boom tube tied down to a padded support with the tail wheel off
the deck. That will keep the tail wheel spring from bounding and prevent
side movement. The Horiz. stab tail surfaces would be folded up with foam
padding inserted in between them and held against the vertical stab by a
2x3" padded boards on each side held and snugged together by bolts with
wing nuts on each on each end. Note - the wings do not have the holes cut
out for the folded position storage bracket nor has the hole been drilled
in the boom tube for it. I thought the wings could be folded back along
side the boom tube with the leading edge in board of the tip supported on a
old couch cushion and then strapped down to prevent movement. The
flaperons would be held in a vertical position with a bungee cord between
the two - maybe a lock on each wing to hold them straight up. Planned to
cover the front and full enclosed cockpit with a light weight (blue) tarp
to protect it from rain and road debris.
Comments and suggestions welcomed. If you might have a few pictures of how
you successfully done this I would appreciate your emailing me a copy direct.
Thanks - the new owner have been very patient but we giving up on the
weekend weather.

Hi Guys,
John Woods called me and he will get in touch with Wayland at Gouldings
tomorrow. They've been waiting on parts. A friend (or someone) has parts
ordered and they were supposed to be in this week. That person then will
go to Gouldings and repair the plane and fly it out. I figure that John
talking to Wayland will take care of the problem, but I will call Wayland
tomorrow to make sure.
Thanks for all the help.

You can keep the wings from flapping when folded by connecting them with pvc
pipe with a couple of 90's. Secure it to the deck with plumbers tape and
screws. It worked when I hauled mine 330 miles. Do Not Archive

Hello Jerb, the only comment i can contribute is when i trailered mine
about 120 miles i used that shrink wrap stuff in a medium mill and started
at the nose and went all the way back to the tail in it's own little cacun
and she was tight as a drum and if it rained it was protected that way
too...i overlaped about 50% and it slipped through the air like nothing and
no noise...i think i paid about 20.00 for 1400' and it was 18" wide.
good luck.
thanks,
Gary r. voigt

Guys,
As some of you know, I am re covering my MK III Classic. Wings, elevators
and flaps are covered and now I'm starting on the tail feathers. When stripping
the old cover off the elevators I noticed a metal plate, 1" by 2", fastened
to the third rib from the end just aft of the tube on the top side of each elevator.
I can't figure out what its function is. Doesn't seem like anything
touches it or even comes close since the paint isn't scratched. It is riveted
into the rib by just one rivet and lays flat along the rib. Any ideas? Do I
need to put it back? If not, should I stick a rivet in the hole in the rib?

Subject: | FireFly Thrust Line and Cruise Speed Change |
--> Kolb-List message posted by: Jack & Louise Hart <jbhart@ldd.net>
FireFlyers and Kolbers,
Today, I ran a study to see what happens when one moves the thrust line up
about seven and three-quarters inches. The propeller was set to limit
engine speed to 6,000 rpm in level flight. Data was taken at cruise rpm of
5,200. Basically the move cost me 4.5 mph. The results can be seen on the
update attached to the bottom of:
http://www.thirdshift.com/jack/firefly/firefly56.html
I believe what it is telling me is that one must pay very close attention to
feeding clean air into the propeller that is pushing. My next effort will
be to clean up the center section under the wing and just aft of the engine.
