John,
Perfect! We appreciate those numbers. That will give us a good base to work off
of.
Thanks,

Subject: Kolb-List: Prop Pitch
--> Kolb-List message posted by: "John Hauck" <jhauck@elmore.rr.com>
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

Flycrazy,
Just when we think we are on top of things... we get surprised.
Your experience is a good wake up call for those of us prone to changing
things. I'm sure there's a reason for the negative results of your
modification, & I'm sure it fixable. I & others have had pods & windshields
on UltraStars without any unwanted effects. It can be done, but as you have
just shown us, it can also bite you. Thank God you made it down.

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.

Herb,
Don't have pics or the plane anymore. I raised the front of the
cage 11" by taking out a piece of the top longeron. Made a aluminum tube
frame with stitz fabric & clamped it to cage. Ran 2 parallel tubes up along
sides & back to top of leading edge & left enough room to get my legs in &
out, then put lexon over the two tubes. Pod covered legs to about the knees
& had full length windshield with open sides, no wind on face or body, no
destabilizing effects. ...Richard Swiderski

That sounds like what I am building. I made a small pod that comes
about a foot and a half beyond the rudder pedals. My cage is std.
Given the side stick and throttle location; it is the only easy solution.
Good to hear. Thanks!! Herb

Herb in KY;
Dave Pelletier (in AZ) had a very nice Firestar, that
he had obtained from another flyer, & this Firestar
had a full windscreen attached. The reason I bring
it up now is that I had flown it a couple times & I
was very impressed with how nicely it handled &
how protected the pilot was from any 'incoming'
wind, or buffet, etc. (No bad habits.!!)
It was a little tight to get into, but, very effective.
Perhaps Dave could offer a pic or two of the plane,
before he sold it, & of the windscreen on it. I was
under the impression that I had a couple, but can't
seem to find them here.
Or perhaps the new owner could be on here.

| Subject: | Open Cockpit Flying, Radio, and Wind Noise |
--> Kolb-List message posted by: Jack & Louise Hart <jbhart@ldd.net>
FireFlyers and Kolbers,
I use a hand held radio so that I can listen in for other traffic as I fly
around, approach or leave an airport. When I did not have a radio
available, I have been surprised by faster aircraft making straight in
and/or down wind final approaches. To prevent some of this, I installed a
nose light, and I use a parallel to the runway taxiway as my runway. This
seems much safer, but some do not announce their intentions or they are like
me and cannot announce their intentions. It would be nice to announce to
local traffic that I am here and to please watch out for me.
A couple times a year, I fly into airports with control towers. I have to
call first and let them know I am coming and to tell them that I can hear
but not respond. It has worked quite well, but I have to push the mic
switch, bank this way and that and waggle my wings a lot before I get
permission to land. It is much more difficult to get out of the controlled
airport. I have to find a buddy to help me contact ground control etc, or
to call them on a cell telephone. It would be so much easier if I could
just talk to them.
I have been experimenting with electret noise cancelling microphone elements
and recording the output on a digital voice recorder. After several months,
I discovered that if I moved the boom around to the side of my mouth and
about an inch away, it would record well enough that I could pick out what
was said through the wind noise. I tried all kinds of foam muffs and
leather boots etc but with inconsistent results. One cold day when I was
wearing a throat sock, I moved the microphone down under my chin and covered
it and my lower face with the throat sock. It was the most clear recording
up to that time. This made me think of trying to make noise canceling
throat microphone. I got on Google and started searching the web. I found
a neat one made by Pryme for people who hunt and shoot each other with paint
ball guns.
Over the last week I have been experimenting with this microphone on the
digital voice recorder. The results have been outstanding. The wind noise
is gone and noise canceling is excellent too. This performance encouraged
me to adapt it to my Yaesu radio. The way it was done can be found
on:
http://www.thirdshift.com/jack/firefly/firefly110.html
This is a fairly long html, but if you have radio wind noise problems, you
may want to check it out.

I hope to be making small repairs and mods. to my wings in preparation for
covering soon. Since the Firestar lives in a trailer I would like to install hand
holds in wing tips. If you have done this I would like to know how you framed

I think that a wind screen similar to what you describe is what I will
go with. I plan to make a bow under the wing and attach the lexan and
the support tubes to it. The other ends will attach to the nose pod.
Still not sure where the instrument pod will go?? I will likely attach
it to the wind screen. Herb

Herb;
I'm sorry that I didn't have enough info to
send to you on my last msg, but, I'm doing
some research to locate a pic or 2 of the
plane I mentioned, & will offer all I find
as it comes to me.
As I recall (often proven wrong) this one
had the clear plastic/lexan-type windscreen
attached to the lip of the pod & it ran clear
up to the wing leading edge. However, the
most unique feature was that the sides of it
were bowed outward, providing even more
protection from the elements. Not very
much, but, very effective.
Will send you more later,
George

I put hand holds in my new wings and they are great. I got some formed
ones that were test samples from Kolb, but you might call Light Speed
and see if they have some already formed. Otherwise, take 2 pieces of
tube, form a top and bottom "hoop" shape, add a strip of aluminum to
connect the top and bottom hoops and cover with plenty of anti-chafe
tape and add lots of poly-tac and fabric.
You could also use a large, flat garage door handle and fabric right to it.
I don't have time to look for the pictures tonight, but send me a
reminder off list and I'll send you 5 or 10 shots of my hand holds and
the fabric work to it. I'll drop all the pictures of my wing build on
a CD and send it to you if you want.

hand holds in wing tips. If you have done this I would like to know how you framed
for the covering and any pics. you may have.

Hey fellers, this request is pretty insignificant but anyway......I'm
short one of those little spring safety pins for the wing strut and
control do-hickeys. Do they have another application so I could
find one locally. -like at home depot or lowes or a fabric and
sewing store. Hate to bother TNK. Thanks, BB do not archive

Larry and Others;
If my engine was near run out I might want to take Rotax in on the exchange
but my 503 has only 55 hours on it. It doesn't sound like a bargin for me
to trade in my engine but is there something wrong with the engine that
makes Rotax want them back?

Vic/Kolbers,
(Subject has been changed to reflect post).
I'm also curious about the exchange offered by Rotax on the 503's. Does
the new version come with oil
injection? Not a plus IMO if so, I'd rather premix. I doubt there's a 'problem'
after so long and with so many units
in use. Perhaps a bid at standardizing (no more SCSI's like mine) and keep the
plant busy?
