    Subject: Re: XTRA
    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "John Abbott" <jrabbott@chartermi.net> It is reassuring to be among those who have walked the "Xtra" way before me. I'm from Midland, MI, built a Challenger II ( few it 74 hrs) and sold it to a guy that had more money then brains. I decided to join a Piper Warrior Club, looking for a new experience, but 200+ hours later I must confess that I missed the true romance of flight. There is just something indescribably special about flight in a light aircraft. After a year of researching the market and sorting out my "needs and desires", the Kolb Xtra was the only aircraft that met or exceeded all of the 14 criteria that were essential to me. A trip to London, KY to evaluate the company and its personnel confirmed my decision. Frankly, I've been a "silent" reader of the Kolb-list emails for the last 2 months.... I sense a very positive, respectful and supportive spirit among the members. It is great to be among you. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Hauck" <jhauck@elmore.rr.com> Subject: Re: Kolb-List: XTRA > --> Kolb-List message posted by: "John Hauck" <jhauck@elmore.rr.com> > > Kolb-List > have > > Hi John A/All: > > Welcome to the Kolb Builders List.

    Subject: XTRA
    --> Kolb-List message posted by: Jim Clayton <jspc78@yahoo.com> John/everyone: Welcome John. There are a bunch of us building Xtras, and a number of finshed planes. You might also find many similarites with the Mark 3 Classic (particularly if you build the Xtra with flaps). There is a huge wealth of experience with all these folks, so feel free to ask. BTW, I've finally put some of my construction photos up on my website: www.quantumwrench.com/Kolb.htm It's far from finished so please bear with me. Comments welcome....I hope ;-) Jim Clayton California Mark-3X, 912ULS.....Building www.quantumwrench.com/Kolb.htm -----Original Message----- From: owner-kolb-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-kolb-list-server@matronics.com]On Behalf Of John Abbott Subject: Re: Kolb-List: XTRA --> Kolb-List message posted by: "John Abbott" <jrabbott@chartermi.net> It is reassuring to be among those who have walked the "Xtra" way before me.

    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Richard & Martha Neilsen" <NeilsenRM@comcast.net> Welcome John Abbott Always makes me sit up and take notice when another one from Michigan is building a Kolb. I'm from Grand Ledge MI. I built a MKIIIc and would enjoy having another pilot to fly to Oshkosh with so get building. If you have any questions just ask and likely you will get many that are happy to answer. Most of us have been there. Keep us up to date on your progress.

    Subject: Re: Primer
    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Richard & Martha Neilsen" <NeilsenRM@comcast.net> Herb I don't know any thing about this product. Have you tested it with MEK? The reports are that anything sort of epoxy based primer kind of melts when Poly Fiber products are applied over regular primer. Some day if I can ever find a welder I will need to prime my rebuilt motor mount. I recently priced the Poly Fiber Primer and wow it has gone up since the last time I bought Rick Neilsen Redrive VW powered MKIIIc ----- Original Message ----- From: <herbgh@juno.com> Subject: Kolb-List: Primer > --> Kolb-List message posted by: herbgh@juno.com > > Hey Fellows > > Just bought my second can of Etching Primer at Advanced Auto. $4.99 > each.

    Subject: Re: Primer
    From: herbgh@juno.com
    --> Kolb-List message posted by: herbgh@juno.com Rick Nope. I know that it will soften or melt. It is a single part primer. About the same as the spray cans that are sold by Aircraft Spruce. Handy for small parts. Not for use where Poly Tack,Spray ,Brush or Poly Tone are to be used. Or Mek or acetone. Joy stick, gear legs, lift struts--things like that. I used a two part primer on the cro molly airframe, root ribs, lift strut attach tabs(firefly).
