You do nice work, Mike. I bought mine (Narco AT 150) from an aircraft radio
shop in Port Angeles, WA, and he completely pre-wired it for me. I had to
cut the harness to get it thru some of the tight spots when installing, and
crossed 2 wires when re-connecting it. Found out then that the Narco tech
department is good, pleasant, and easy to work with. And yes, the
digital cameras are a joy to work with...........I sure enjoy mine.

Morning All:
Sitting here in Fort Nelson, British Columbia, twitling my thumbs. Arrived here
last night. Got fuel and lucked out to be the first to arrive, so..........I
got the "crash pad" (free bed and bath). Only one available. Last time I came
through here I missed it and slept on an old couch.
Was getting my gear out of the airplane and noticed a distinct absence of air in
the left main. Same tire I replaced the tube in at Knik River, early on in
my flight.
Long story short. Finally, got the wheel off with some borrowed tools, got the
tube to town, and got a patch on it. Some friendly Canadians need several pats
on the back for helping out a stranded Alabamian. Worked in their shop, at
the airport, until very late, then surrendered to fatigue and anxiety, and called
it a night. Had trouble getting the split rim, with spacer, reassembled.
Waiting now for the gents from Ft Nelson to return to the airport this morning
to finish getting the wheel and tire back together to continue flying back
south and home to Alabama.
Been a while since I had access to a computer. Since the last time, I have flown
to Dawson City, Yukon Territory, Eagle Plains, YT, Fort McPherson, Northwest
Territory, Inuvik, NT, Tuktoyaktuk, NT. Then.......back tracked to Dawson City
and south to Whitehorse. RON'd Whitehorse and arrived here last night. Was
a good flight yesterday, but alas, I am here until I can get the tire and wheel
fixed and continue my flight.
This flat could have happened at some lesser desireable places, i.e., sand and
gravel bars, remote gravel strips, remote villages at near freezing temps. I
am very grateful to be where I am in moderate temps, need a jacket on this morning.
If I can get out of here by noon, I can be well into Alberta or maybe even Saskatchewan
tonight. I plan to enter the States at Minot, ND, with a direct flight
to Titus, Alabama. Today is Day 44. I am ready to head for the house.
Take care,

| Subject: | Wing Folding SlingShot |
--> Kolb-List message posted by: "Richard Swiderski" <swiderski@isp.com>
Rusty,
I stumbled upon an easy way to fold the SS wings, with no help. You
use a telescoping tent pole modified so the top tip will fit into the tube
that hangs down out of the bottom of the wing, the one that is used to hold
the wing during transport. First, chock the wheels. Then, lay out the wing
struts & put in the cage-side pins & gently allow the outside ends to hang
down. Next, walk the wing out & swivel it into place as usual. Then pick up
the tent pole & insert its tip into the support tube. The pole is adjusted
to the height that will keep the wing at just below its normal height.
Position the bottom of the pole so that it is about 10" behind the wing
support tube & about 10" outside the wing support tube. This causes the
wing to fall forward which of course it can't because its bottoming out on
the cage. At this point, if you let go, the wing tip cannot fall down
because the pole is holding it up, the wing can't fall forward, because the
cage is holding it & the chocked wheels are holding the cage. Now you walk
in front of wing & around pod & put the front pin in place. Then go back &
finish by putting in the outside pin of the wing strut, by lifting the wing
up a coupe inches, allowing the tent pole to fall out, & guide strut end
into wing receiver & you are done! The one caveat here is that this
doesn't work if wind conditions are such that the wing can lift up.

Greetings,
(snip)
Also, can anyone confirm how the wing folding works. On the SS, you had to
support the wing, while disconnecting the strut. In other words, you
couldn't allow the wingtip to be lowered to the ground like you can on the
FS and FF. Is the Kolbra like this to?
Thanks,
Rusty (getting in deep now)

--> Kolb-List message posted by: "woody" <duesouth@govital.net>
Finally after a couple years I am back flying the Thunderbird (modified
Mk 111). I did the last of the small details today and ran out of excuses
not to fly. I adjusted the idle a bit and cursed the guy (and questioned the
marital status of his parents) who designed the location of the idle adjust
screw. A couple taxis down my strip showed everything running as it should
with a little variation in the cht. Takeoff was uneventfull with me holding
back a bit and climbing out at 600 fpm at 50 mph. I did not try for a full
speed run yet as in my excitement I forgot to check what the operating
numbers were for the engine. I found at 1800 rpm I could maintain 50/55
mph easily. However my cht readings were 100* apart. I flew around trying
different speeds and directions to see if I could alter the situation. I
could but not enough. Then I noticed the tach was reading lower than I had
set it. Then it went to zero then it went back to normal then zero and so on
for the remaining few minutes of flight. Landing was uneventfull. Reviewing
the situation I made jumper cables so I could swap my cht gauges at the
wiring harness. A few runs up and down the runway confirmed the sensors are
at fault. Any ideas to find out which one is right?
All flight numbers taken from standard gauges not vented to a static
port. Engine numbers from an EIS unit.

The 1941 Piper Coupe came completely equipped with muffler, clock,
wind-driven generator AND a mechanical self starter. Let me describe
this wonder. The power driving the starter is secured from a shock cord
extending the length of the fuselage to the rudder post. A wire connects
the forward end of the shock cord with the gear mechanism attached to
the crankshaft. By means of a handle in the cockpit end of this
mechanism, the wire is wound up by the pilot on a drum by some 20 to 30 turns.
When this is released, by pushing the hub of the crank handle forward,
the shock cord pulls the wire, unwinding it from the drum, and turns the
engine over twice, more than was possible by manual propping. This
little gem weighed less than 10 pounds.
Piper surely stole this idea from all those little rubber band balsa
wood models we used to make. If only they had gone on to really perfect
this scheme we could have had the answer to high fuel costs. My slide
rule (yes, there was a thing called a slide rule) about caught afire in
trying to compute the length, number of strands, and number of turns
needed to get a 2500 pound plane off the sod. First approximations yield
a bungee cord about 4 in diameter and 20 long, taking two weeks to
wind. This will get you to maybe 500, more if you get all three pax to
wind while in flight.

When I got my Experimental N-number registration and inspection prior to the
30 hr testflight stage as an amphib in 1991,
the FAA inspector had checked my ratings and carried a print out to make
sure that I had both
the Land and Sea ratings before cutting me loose.So don't be to sure about
this.

That's why I said "might" ... With the FAA, as with the IRS, you can never
be sure of anything, but you can usually be sure they'll "stick it to ya"
if given half a chance.

Hi Richard. I used to use a modified saw horse, but it would have been a
lot harder to take with you in the plane :-)
BTW, you're probably going to have to re-cover the plane due to old age
before you get that Geo running :-)
Cheers,
Rusty (may just finish the Airbike)

I have my tail finished (1995 kit)except for the
rudder stop. I believe the one that came with the kit
rivits to the vert. stab. post and has a two inch pc.
of 1/4 inch tubing sticking out on each side. I can't
find anything in the plans that says or shows a rudder
stop so I'm assuming that is what it is for. Does
anyone have this on their Firestar? Was this an add

this or something better?

Kolbers,
Anyone know of an electric high pressure fuel pump that does not
require a return fuel line? Typically that is how they cool themselves. I
thought maybe there's one that starts & stops on demand. The reason I am
asking is that I want to install a fuel monitoring gauge but they require an
extra flow sensor for the return fuel flow & that adds $300 to the cost.
Thanks, Richard Swiderski

Al, there's one like that on the mkIII. One side of mine had been cut
too short and
the FAA insp. caught it, it rubbed on the elevator. The easy fix is to
push a piece
of vinyl tubing over the stub and cut to the desired length. -nice
cushion effect too.

That would be okay but will be a pain in the butt trying to keep it wired to
the EIS. Went flying again and I determined one sender is reading low. I had
to have more than 100* on the cht. I checked and tightened all the EIS wires
but still have the tach dying on me. I also can't get more than 2300 RPM
reading on the tach on full power take off.. Should be 3300. I also climbed
out at 900 fpm Still not pushing it.

John,
Good to hear things are going as well as they are. Sounds like you've had
yet another adventure of a life time that you'll be telling stories about
for the rest of your life. I'm looking forward to seeing you get back home.
BTW John and the rest of the list, I took my FS to the airport Friday and
did some taxi test. I can't believe how well behaved this thing taxies (at
least on grass). I did some high speed taxi test also (up to 40 mph). I must
have gone up and down the runway 30 times, logged an hour of non-flight
flight time before it got dark and I had to quit. The tail comes up right
around 20 to 25 mph and then I was able to hold it up the length of the
runway as I increased speed. It handled very well at whatever speed I choose
to use. I went back Saturday morning to do the first flight but the wind was
blowing at 10 mph at a direct cross wind so I just went home. I plan to try
it again Monday.

Arrived here last night. Got fuel and lucked out to be the first to arrive,
so..........I got the "crash pad" (free bed and bath). Only one available.
Last time I came through here I missed it and slept on an old couch.

CHT probes - try putting them in boiling water (212 degrees F).

Ouch, you didn't check your RPM at full power before doing a first
flight. If it is as low as you have indicated, you may have just lucked
out to make it around the field - same to make sure you wouldn't have over
revved the engine just to make it around the field.
Do you have an EIS that matching the "type" of engine your running and type
and number of pulses it produces per revolution. Assuming you have one
that will work for the Jabiru, you may need to set the number of pulses per
revolution in the setup screen for it to read properly.

Looks like we use type K thermocouples in our EGTS? The two bayonet
types that I have on hand use a red and a yellow wire. The chart on the
following web page indicates this to be a K type. Herb, taking a break
from the firefly today.
