Just saw Discovery Channel's coverage on Osh 2004. They focused on Jets and
other aircraft that none of us can afford.The only small ac that they featured
was an imported complete LSPA.What happened to made in the USA? They did start
off with a quick 60 second comment from Homer. I thought that EAA was about
airplanes that you and I can build and innovations that we come up with. I
thought that they missed the point and also lost the opportunity to inspire new
individuals to our sport. No wonder participation in these events is dwindling.
this is just my opinion.

I sent an email to Discovery channel with my sentiments, I am also sending
one to EAA. I suspect that the EAA was probably the cause of the choices. That
is because the main focus at Airventure2004 was on things that we as
individuals
cannot afford nor did we build. Maybe the EAA is now only interested in
fiiling their pocket with money from gate addmission and sales of EAA gifts to
non
airplane people and you have to have the big fancy stuff to create that draw.
OK, I will get off the soapbox now and go back to building my little Firefly
and designing floats and landing gear that the average guy can build.

--> Kolb-List message posted by: "woody" <duesouth@govital.net>
I enjoy my twinstar. It is powered by the 55 h p Hirth. Expect a cruise of
60-65. I would not take a Challenger. I flew 2 of them last winter and they
scared me to death. The Kolb is gentle and a high performer a very unusual
combination. The Challenger is aptly named and you will constantly be
chasing the wandering front nose all the time. Ignore the comments pointing
out that Kolb is a tail dragger. That is only true for the first 50 feet
while the tail is down. After that it is a non issue. Kolbs are the most
forgiving tail draggers out there. Buy the Twinstar and have a great time.
Lets not forget the quick folding of the Kolb. I can do my Twinstar in under
15 minutes. One more unmentioned point about the Twinstar is it's easy
entry. Just walk into the frame and sit down. No crawling around and pulling
you feet in or any of the other contortions getting into any other aircraft.
It is also the best camera plane out there.

John,
I just started building a Mark III Xtra ( a new subscriber) and planned to
utilize a Jabiru 2200 with a three blade nickel edged Warp Drive prop for
the power configuration. There are 3 Jabiru powered homebuilt aircraft on
our field and all are meeting or exceeding the builder's performance
expectations. There is only one basic difference in application, they are
"pulling" the aircraft instead of "pushing" it.
Do you believe that there might be a causal relationship between the rapid
rise of CHT's and the push configuration or is the problem generic to
Jabiru's ?
I am about to place a hold payment on a 2200 Jabiru so I need your good
counsel and the collective wisdom of the subscribers. Thanks for your help.

The big four have come and gone and we were lucky here in Tallahassee.
Jeanne passed through as a windy rain storm. My Mk3 sat snug in her hangar
and we didn't loose a single shingle from our house. Sure hope you boys down
south and west did as well and that the balance of this season is more
gentle to us all.
I am planning to go to my hangar on Wednesday morning for more stall testing

John, Thanks for the insight on the Jabiru engines. It's info like this that
I was hoping to really get into at the fly in but this is just as good. You
say that the 100hp is a little overkill. Will the 80hp do as well with a cs
prop? Craig Nelson has designed a beautiful cowl for the 912 and it sure
cleans up the plane a bunch. Hope to talk to you again soon. Would it be ok
to call? Thanks again, Jerry

I've recently moved, and am looking for a new home for the Firefly.
While it can stay put, I'd rather not have to drive 60 miles each way.
I've started checking local airports arounf here (Phoenixville, PA).
Perkiomen (N10) looked very promising; close, small and friendly.
Today, I called and spoke with the manager, who was real nice untill I
said "ultralight". The response was "we don't allow ultralights". If I
N-numbered it, he did allow that he'd be willing to "take a look at it."
I understand you attract more flies with honey then vineger, and was
very polite with him. He said he'd had ultralights crash and people get
killed, and he's fielded calls from an angry wife accusing him of having
"killed my husband." Also, he says, no matter what happened, even away
from the airport, the airport's name "gets dragged into it." I told him
I understood, and did not press the issue. He says he just doesn't want
any more of "those calls."
While I can hardly force him to rent me a hanger, I'd like to know the
rules regarding access. My understanding from a scan of the archives is
that public airports (registered, not owned...this is a privately owned,
public use airport) can not prohibit legal activity. A few questions if
any one can direct me:
1. Is there a regulation that is explicit about this?
2. Is it dependent upon them ever receiving federal money?
3. How can I find out if they have received federal monay?
Thanks,
Chuck

Hi,
Just got back from a recent trip to the desert, and thought that I might add
a cheap and easy way to support the wings of a trailered Kolb. I made the trip
to Monument Valley, pulling my Firestar II about 2600 or more miles with the
wings hanging off the tail boom. I support the tail boom, but not the wings.
Of course the roads were rough and one worries about the wear of all the bumps
on the attach points. This time I went to the tire store and got a discarded
inner tube. After I had the plane loaded in the trailer I slid the deflated tire
under the wings and simply inflated it until I got the support that I wanted.
(My lifting device raises the tail wheel off the floor about three inches.)
When I got there I took out the valve stem, took the deflated tube out, unloaded
my plane and that was that. Cheap and simple. Some of the metal valve caps
have the little gismos on them to remove the stem, making it easy to use.
regards
Larry, Oregon

--> Kolb-List message posted by: "Carl Trollope" <flash_too@yahoo.co.uk>
Hi,
from another Brit on the list....
I have just acquired a Mk111 after having thoroughly looked at all other
options...in the price category...
I chose the Kolb because of its' tremendous view..... short field
capacity..... and because it is supposed to be the easiest tail dragger out
there
I am in the process of converting to 3 axis from flexwing and only have a
few hours at the moment but am already impressed with its flying
Mine has a second throttle fitted to the centre tube which means the right
seat occupant has to fly left hand on stick and reach across with the right
to use the throttle.... not to good an idea.... oh and mine is a microlight
with a 582...
The only other comment concerns the landing which seems to elude its
previous owner as it appears to blow through the flare every
time...approaching at 55mph half flap glide approach....??

I have recently joined this group, being one of a syndicate of three which

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?
