Vic and Others, I would also like to know the reason for the exchange
program . Is there a flawed part we don`t know about? My 503 purrs like a
kitten, at this point my feeling is, if it isn`t broke, don`t fix it. This
offer only seems to be a bargain if you are near the rebuild time. ( Or is
there is something wrong with the 503 we don`t know about.) My other
thought is that business is slow for the Rotax service centers. If anyone
knows anything for sure please let the list know. Thankx

Sport Pilot, the world's record for diddling.....yep, back at OMB, just
maybe? get back to FAA in time for publication this year???
What I can't figger is what Office for Management and Budget has to
be concerned about. That looks like a branch that could be pruned.
If I get this project legal before anything happens I'll begrudgingly
go get a flight physical...a waste of money for a misnamed procedure.
In the (long) past when you wanted to locate a "flight examiner" or
even an IA the FAA would act annoyed as if you were interrupting
their coffee break when you asked them for a local list. Everybody
went by someone that someone else knew. -and then when you asked
to use their archaic microfiche to look up ADs for a specific plane???
You'd think they were doing you a big favor....don't get me going.

Howdy,
There are several items I'd like to bring before the list.
#1 - Ive been flying an original TwinStar since 1986 with about 550 hours. It
is an oldie but a goodie. We just finished up a Mark III Classic last September
but my wife [Ella] doesnt want to part with the old TwinStar. (yes, she's
a Kolb enthusiast and has her private ticket as well) We just returned the
TwinStars 503 to participate in the Rotax exchange program. Now I have to prepare
for the new oil injected engine. I wanted to seek the prevailing wisdom on
the best set up for mounting an oil injection tank. There should be some good
options out there since so many of the Kolb builders with 503s have been there,
done that. Im interested in any help that can be given to keep the cost
down and airflow as undisturbed as possible. Please feel free to contact me
off-list if you have text and/or pictures that you can share.
#2 - Just prior to finding the Mark III project that we finished last fall,
I purchased a Mark III airframe kit #1 (wings and tail). All tail surfaces, ailerons
flaps and wing ribs had been completed. The wings are ready to be assembled.
The original owner had previous building experience and had done an excellent
job. He just got too busy with life to continue the project. This kit
is at the perfect point since it is very transportable and could be completed
with a minimum of effort. My wife is pro-aviation but not to the point for
us to complete another Mark III; so the kit is up for sale ($4800). If you
know of anyone who might be interested in this quick-build kit, please send them
my way.
#3 - Our new Mark III has been kept at a local airstrip [unfolded] until recently.
I have it at home now and have needed to fold it between flights. Sure
is a much heavier beast than Ive been used to for the past 16 years with the
old TwinStar. In order to save my aging back, I created a tail dolly for the
Mark III that has worked out beautifully for moving the folded bird easily around
on blacktop. Question is . . . . is there an interest in having me take
some pics of it to put out on photoshare? Please advise if so and Ill try
to accommodate.
Thanks, all.

How much of a savings is the exchange program?
If it only includes the engine w/o the redrive, it appears only the
difference between $3273 and $2500. What is a 503 core worth on the
market? Looks like a good way to update your engine to current level and
having a new engine rather than a over hauled/rebuilt engine.

Bob,
Seems things have changed. I purchased a fisher classic a few weeks
back. It was missing a BOS in the chain of ownership and the
airworthiness card in the plane. I called the FAA reg. Office and they
outlined exactly what to do, even sent me a CD with all the filed
paperwork for the plane. Trusted me to send them the $5 back they charge
for it. I called the FSDO today and they faxed a request form for the
Airworthiness cert. and said I should have the replacement in a week or
so. It was helpful that I had a PDF of the original from the CD to email
the guy at the FSDO office. Everyone was very nice. Maybe things have
changed or maybe I am the luckiest guy on the planet?

I would like to see pictures of the dolly. I have my MKIII in my garage and
have a hard time with the tail when I pull it out to the driveway to work on
it.

Hi All:
Craig Nelson and Tim Gherkins wanted to know what prop pitch I am
running:
Warp Drive Taper Tip, Nickel Leading Edges, 72" Diameter, 11.5 deg of
pitch.
This allows the engine to turn 5400 rpm static and 5300 climb. She
will just bump the redline 5,500 rpm WOT straight and level flight.
For my MKIII about 95 mph top end. 80 to 90 mph cruise at 5,000 to
5,200 rpm, depending on how I am loaded and temps.
Take care,
john h

Mike, browsing your website, the stick mechanism on your FSII is different
from mine, the one I am working on is about 6 or 7 years old, is yours
newer than that?

--> Kolb-List message posted by: Flycrazy8@aol.com
Hi Kolbers,
Was wanting anyone's experience with flying a Kolb UltraStar with a
windsheild.
I've had a fireStar pod on my Ultrastar for a year or more resulting with a
little faster ship and thought I would try adding a Lexan windsheild. This
turned out to be a life threating experience for me... WOW....what a Ride
!!...... Crow hopping was satisfactory but once I got airborne and put the nose
down
it was some kind of wild ride. The ship started yawing from left to right and
a lost of lift caused quite an increase in Pucker factor. Adding full power
added a grateful stabling effect with the nose up but deciding that I would
perfer to be on the ground I once again throttled back putting nose down in an
attempt to land. Once again I got a severe yawing effect. O my! this wasn't
good. ! GOD get me down safely and I'll.......... Looking for a soft place to
smash down in I spyed a freshly plowed feild where I finally bounced down hard
bending the left gear . One of those times I had a great inkling to kiss the
ground. Don't think I'll try that again........That windsheild will defintely
come off.
