I find it interesting that the two legislation sources cited seem to be in
conflict. The FCC rule says "any other aircraft" which would include
experimentals and ultralights. The FAA rule, on the other hand, specifies
only those aircraft operated under certain registration categories or while
flying IFR. With the rare exception of an experimental with full IFR
capability it would seem that it does -not- apply to us. I'm not sure we're
any closer to an answer to Can I or Can't I? However, there's absolutely NO
WAY I can hear over a cell phone while flying my airplane so it's a moot
point, and I'd be surprised if anyone else flying our type of aircraft can.
What's all the fuss about?

I am beginning to get a little nervous about the cruise speed of my modified
Ultrastar . I now have a total of 20 hours and have confirmed all my numbers
many times....5200 RPM yields 75MPH and 2 gallons per hour....5400 gets 80MPH
(GPS calm air confirmed multiple times)....this is not suppose to happen on
a 35 HP Cuyuna with a single Mikuni carb. I feel uncomfortable making claims
like this but they are accurate ...it does stall faster (35mph) than the previous
machine...
The reason this may be happening is the weight and balance is forward of
my last machine. The fuel is now in a seat tank but the engine was moved to
the rear by one inch....Will this airframe take this airspeed over time....in
a shallow dive and more RPM I can get 100 mph .....
The wings have been modified (advice gleaned from the list ) with the steel
ring at the butt of each wing , reinforced drag strut ,and beefed up ribs
with aluminum sheet over the last rib for twist at tips. Ailerons (full span
original) are very responsive at 60Mph but become heavy at cruise. I know the
answer is just run the engine slower but the Rpm fluctuates from 4800 to 5100
. I believe this is a carburetor transition area between the needle and the main
jet. I have tried repitching the ground adjustable 3 blade Ivoprop but always
come back to 6200Rpm at 55Mph on climbout..The engine runs smoother above 5200
but airspeed gets too high....I know some of you are saying what is the problem
with high cruise speeds but I am no aeronautical engineer and need some
more advice from some of you experienced Ultrastar guys.....
To sum up my question...Do I have anything to worry about pushing this
airframe at this speed...originally suppose to fly at 60mph.

Funny the headphone makers seem not to know of the law, I was looking for
Headphones at Oshkosh this year and all the talk was about how you can NOW
hook up your cell phone to their new models and how to retro fit headphone
to cell use. I guess they where only thinking we would use our phone on the

After stopping to chat with some fellow flyers at
another strip, as I made my take off and pushed the
throttle forward, I felt something give. I was
climbing out at about 6000 rpm, not the usual 6500.
After I was at a safe altitude where I could look for
the cause and make a landing if necessary, I found
that the throttle handle had broke where it meets the
flat piece that fastens to the cage. I could pull it
back but not push it forward. It was still attached
but just barely, so I flew back to our home stip and
made my best landing yet. I am in the process of
shortening it up and hope that it will hold up better.
I have noticed that others have done similar changes
when veiwing photos of their planes. I just wondered
if any one else had the same problem ?

Since the FCC rules says "any other aircraft" a legally Part 103 flyer is
excluded. A Part 103 legal ultralight is not an aircraft, it is a vehicle,
the FAA says so. A technicality, but legal enforcement stands and falls on
technicalities. And that is also the reason that some approach control
facilities will not give radar service to ultralights: the FAR's make no
provision for dealing with vehicles, only aircraft. Which means that the
controller who treats an u/l like an aircraft is sticking his/her neck out
somewhat. On the other hand, failing to provide service to an u/l that asks
for it- and then having something bad happen because you didn't- is also
sticking yer neck out.

I have recently joined this group, being one of a syndicate of three which
has bought a flying Kolb Mk.III. This aircraft has the short wings and is
classed as a Group A aircraft in the UK (ie. not a microlight)>>
Hi Martin,
Welcome to the list from one of the few Limeys here. I live near Bath and I
am waiting for the delivery of 111 Extra Kit. What made you go for the `A`
cat? I am hoping to install a Jabi on mine which will be a microlight cat. I
have been flying a Eurostar with the 912 for the last year and liked it but
the 912 takes the Extra into Class`A`. Being unwilling to give up the
foustroke advantages the Jabiru it has to be.
Have you had much experience with the 111. What sort of performance?
Contact me off line if you like

Guys
I would like to use X-planes to do an analysis of the Kolb Firefly.
Just for a better understanding. Has anyone done this? Or done any
other analysis of the Kolb wing, thrust line, drag etc? Do we have a lot
of trim drag on Kolbs ?
A quick study of the airfoil on the Ultrastar(assuming it to be the
same as the Firefly and Firestar?) shows a max thickness at 21-22 %.

ps does anyone know if X-planes is capable of doing such an analysis?

Hi Paul,
My wife hears from me all the time, but she really has no choice :-)
As I posted before, the hanger was damaged, along with my RV-3 and the SS.
I hope to have the RV-3 flying again by this weekend, since it only needed a
new rudder and left aileron.
The SS needed a new nose, canopy, and fuselage fabric, as well as some
internal repairs to some wing ribs, and maybe a new fuselage tube. Since
the 6 color paint job is history, and since there are so many things I
wanted to change anyway, I surrendered the data plate, airworthiness
certificate, and registration to the FAA. I'll make the repairs, inspect
all the wing internal construction, make the changes I wanted, and recover
and paint. When complete, it will truly be a new plane, and I'll have plenty
of hours logged to reregister it. I can't see that happening before next
Summer though.
Cheers,
Rusty

Thanks Howard, Lightspeed has a great product, we plan on selling it to our
industrial customers. Sorry to All for bringing up the whole stupid cell phone
thing, But It would be nice to have an answer by the regs on UL use.
Remember, those annoying devices have an OFF switch. Use them when it suits your

Hi John Williams,
I tried to send this to you off list but my post was returned
,
I had heard that there was an overheating problem with the Jabi on the ground.
Your experience seems to confirm this.
Do you think some sort of fairing to duct some more air over the engine would help,
or is the problem not serious enough to bother with.
It doesn`t sound good practice to be running hot all the time but with the 111
extra that I am hoping to build 90 knots will be over the Vne.

The Jabiru is a fairly high RPM engine with out a reduction drive and as
such has to turn a small inefficient prop. You are right 85HP is plenty of
horsepower but it is thrust that makes a airplane fly. I don't have any
experience with the engine other than seeing it fly on John W's Kolbra. What
I do have experience with is VW engines. The direct drive VW that I flew for
a few years operated at the same RPMs and also requited a small inefficient
prop. Granted my VW weighted app. 20 lbs more than the Jabiru and as
configured produced 3-4 less HP but that engine was unsuitable for a MKIIIc.
My reduction drive VW weighs 8 lbs more than my direct drive VW but produces
twice the thrust, climbs twice as well, flies faster, and uses less fuel
while turning the same RPMs and about the same HP. The key here, at least
for the Kolb MKIIIc, is that you need a large slow turning prop to get good
performance. I'm sure if you had a great increase in power you might get
sufficient thrust out of a small inefficient prop but you would pay with
high fuel burn and likely a heavy airplane.
Sounds like another great TNK Home Coming.
Another 2-3 weeks and I should be back in the air with a rebuilt engine,
redrive bracket, and new lower engine mount.

Well, it's under the weight limit, doesn't have retractable gear or a
controllable prop. What about the speed?

Bob,
This reminds me of our trip to the Wellsville Fly-In Fathers Day weekend.
My first trip across the local mountains in a 2 stroke powered bird, low
ceilings, 40 mph tailwind, occasional light mist, minimum VFR.
At some point I was feeling a LITTLE concerned, than Linda fires up a
ZZ-Topp Blues CD in her player plugged into the intercom, it turned a nail
biting affair into a mountain surfing adventure.
Now everytime I hear "She don't love me she loves my AEROPLANE"
(automobile), I am back over PA's mountains, riding the wave, Homer style.
:-)

He's fine; he said that he's surrendered the Kolb's a/w & will rebuild
it with his name on the new a/w cert. He had minor damage to his RV-3 &
some damage to his hangar, & a lot to his house.

Hi Kolbers,
I'm headed off to the shop but before going I thought I would send this out. I
know how many feel about the fergys but this photo of a fergy departing our field
just happened to turn out real good so I thought I would share it.
Thanks for the update on Wayne Woody hope he recovers soon and thanks for the report
Rusty I guess I missed the first post.
After the Kolb fly in I am excited about finishing our Kolbra!
Hope yall enjoy the snapshot and forgive me that it's a Fergy. And a dang fine
one at that I might add. I love all these little airplanes.....

Hi Pat and all prospective Jabiru fliers,
You have about 5 minutes of ground run time before the CHT's hit their
limits.
In the air, you have to use the company furnished air cowlings for proper
cooling. At speeds below 90 knots you can only run at 2800 rpm or higher for
short lengths of time before the CHT's again exceed their limits.
You will most likely not be satisfied with the climb and cruise performance
you get from the Jabiru when installed on a Kolb MarkIII Xtra, Classic or a
Kolbra. These airframes just can't sustain the speed needed to keep the
CHT's down.
If you use a Jabiru engine and it isn't what you expected, please don't
blame it on the airframe you put it on.

Hi out there I'm new to the list,
I would like to get a fat ultra lite or a plane that will qualify as a sport
plane
Is a good twinstar with a 503 single carb a good choice for a starter
plane.
What kind of cruse speed can I expect, I will usually be flying by myself.
I have followed klob over the years and have looked at many others. I'm also
looking at a challanger but the twinstar looks better to me.
Please educate me on the pros and cons of the Klob twinstar.
Thanks
Tom Yilk

Fellow Kolbers,
I just finished a webpage on this recent trip to include some photos taken
at the Homecoming.
Use this link and go to the "Flights in 2004" hyperlink.
http://home.comcast.net/~kolbrapilot
I know of one broken link and will fix it tomorrow.
