Are you running fresh gas also I would put a set of new spark plugs in
it. For whatever reason I've found if 2-strokes set for long, the oil on
the plugs make them weak to cause hard starting. Note when you crank it
over does it pump fuel to the carbs, also is the engine fuel primer
working. Also if you have a squeeze bulb, does it pump fuel when you
squeeze it - that the one way valve is not stuck. If you squirt a little
fresh premix fuel into the carb throat, does it fire?

Hi all,
just thought I would gloat a little as I am on the good end of the exchange
rate and my 111Extra is at this moment in mid Atlantic on its way to
Liverpool on the 22nd. That is if a U boat doesn`t intercept.
The good price is of course considerably dented by the horrendous transport
and insurance charges.
Roll on Christmas.
Cheers
Pat

Hi everyone.
I have been a "lurker" on this list for over a year now so I
guess it's time to introduce myself. I first joined this list (and
several others) in the summer of 2003 as I was deciding what and if I
should build.
On Dec 2, 2003 I took delivery of Firefly kits 1 & 2 and started
in. As a first time builder I relied heavily on this list and the
archives for guidance and information. Every thing I needed was there; I
never had to post a question. Since I was inexperienced I built strictly
according to plan except that I moved the rudder and brake peddles aft 6
", put a 6" offset in the control stick, and installed the flaperon
handle backwards so that I could reach it; all this being necessary
because I'm only 5'4" tall. I completed my Firefly in August after 635
man-hours and, because I had never flown an ultralight, I started out by
doing crow hops. On September 4, 2004, after some 20-30 crow hops, I just
kept on going. First flight was totally uneventful. The only problem I've
had occurred the first time I took off in the grass which was a little
high: she went up on her nose, destroying the pitot tube and badly
damaging the pilot's ego. I was well aware of the potential- it's been
covered here more than once- but I managed to do it anyway.
I flew a total of 32 hours before putting it away for the winter
in mid-November. It's a beautiful flying little machine and she's
everything I had hoped for when I started this project.
Please add my name to the Kolb owners list.
Regards,
Ed Harvey

I know of a few who run Cuyunas/2si. I run one on a UltraStar I rebuilt. I
would love to be able to have a Mark III Extra with a big 912 on it but I
can't afford it. I'm retired on a fixed income (Disability). I have
terminal cancer and more than all my extra dollars are already spoken for.
But this doesn't deminish my love of flying which I've been doing for 35
years or so. I have a pvt. ticket and have built three experimentals and do
love to fly and always will. But all I can do is the best I can do. I
suspect there are others that can't afford Rotax but feel embarassed to talk
about what they have. I'm proud of what I have and would like to talk to
others who are doing the best they can with what they can afford.
Just a thought.

Hi to all,
Yesterday Bryan Melborn successfully hopped the Firefly #007 on floats. After
that I jumped in and sped around doing step taxi turns but no hops. We had a
front moving in on us and a lake lacking generous size. With the recent loss
of our friend Norm we opted to wait for better weather and a larger lake.
Bryan and I both agreed that the "WetFly" handled like a pussycat We have been
successful in keeping Part 103 weight limitations.
My float experiance is limited to a cub with an 85hp cont. The firefly is
about 10 times easier.I will try to post some pictures later today

Well said Dale. After all that's what grass roots aviation is all about.
Having fun with what you got! Nothing wrong with a Cuyuna or an
Ultrastar! And I'm not embarrassed about the fact that I bought a
complete flying plane with a 582 for less than the price of a new 912.

Dale,
Welcome to the club of "low and slow" (and cheap). Built my first UltraStar
in 1980. Cuyuna never let me down. Many other airplanes through the years
(16). I'm 86 and learned to fly in 1935 (may be the oldest Kolb driver). Back
to a Cuyuna UltraStar at present (middle Tenn.) There are many UltraStars still
out there with Cuyunas. There's a list somewhere. Start a new list for us.
Something else in common. I'm fighting two big, fat melanomas. To you, no need
to say anything more. The old "Homer Kolb" really has very little in common
with the "New Kolbs". Don't tell the new, young whippersnappers, but the "Old
Kolbs" are a better airplane all around for fun, sport flying. Get the new list
started !!

>>> In the 70s I flew with a local crowd of taildragger owners. Everyone
started out with a basic no frills airplane. Then some gravitated to

faster, more expensive rides. Two reasons kept me from doing the same:
I was perfectly content with a bare bones chugger, and family
priorities.
It would have been selfish to beggar my clan so I could go 20 mph

As it turns out, those who bought the gee-whiz zoomers have dropped

--> Kolb-List message posted by: "boyd young" <by0ung@brigham.net>
On a different thread, there has been discussion of methods to extend the
instrument panel. Thats fine, but for me the only instrument I want to be
able to reach is my EIS. An alternative to extending the panel is to
install remote buttons for the EIS, which could be placed right below the
seat. I believe Grand Rapids Technologies can set you up with this system.
I personally have not yet done this, but I believe there are others that
have - perhaps someone could report back with a price and their level of
satisfaction
regards,
erich weaver
--------------------------------
the eis that i bought had the wires for the remote switches installed.... if
i remember there was no documentation for the wires but with a phone call i was
able to get an email with attachment with full instructions. i placed the
remote swithces directly overhead in a control box. the control box has my
kill swithces, fuel pump swithc, starter, eis power and remote buttons, master
switches, fuse pannel. it is all very handy.

so I did...
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KolbUltrastar
By starting this group, I have no intention to detract

the eis that i bought had the wires for the remote switches
installed.... if i remember there was no documentation for the wires
but with a phone call i was able to get an email with attachment with
full instructions. i placed the remote swithces directly overhead
in a control box. the control box has my kill swithces, fuel pump
swithc, starter, eis power and remote buttons, master switches, fuse
pannel. it is all very handy.

| Subject: | Humble Beginnings |
--> Kolb-List message posted by: "John Hauck" <jhauck@elmore.rr.com>
Good Morning All:
The Ultrastar was the first fixed wing airplane I ever flew, and I
built it in my shoe box sized basement. In fact, built all three of
my Kolbs in that shoe box.
Not a greater feeling than to build the first airplane and fly it for
the first time.
I flew my Ultrastar and my buddy's Ultrastar from 1984 to 1987, when I
completed my Firestar. Back then we did not call them "original"
Firestars.
I guess I would still be flying my Ultrastar if I had not accidently
destroyed it. Up until that time, I flew it ever chance I got, which
was every day, unless the weather was horrible. After I lost it, and
during the build time of my Firestar, I was fortunate to be able to
fly my buddy's Ultrastar to satisfy my appetite for flying these
little airplanes. If it had not been for Ed's Ultrastar, my Firestar
would have been completed much sooner. Many days, down in the
basement drilling holes and popping rivets, I would look outside,
decide it was a great day to fly a little, and be gone for cow pasture
and my little airstrip.
I flew my Firestar until it was also destroyed, or I would probably
still be flying it. Was a great little airplane.
Well, I finally got the Mark III built. Back then, 1991 and 1992, we
called them Mark III's. No requirement to put "classic" or "extra"
with the model. Must have finally got it right. I'm still flying my
MKIII, and have built quit a lot of time on it. I still love to fly
it. It satisfies all my aviation needs. That is why I am still
flying it after nearly 13 years and 2,257.4 hours as of day before
yesterday. I have no desire or needs to go any higher, faster, or
slower. Well, I take part of that back. I would like to have about
15 mph more cruise. That would put me at the magic number of 100 mph.
However, my MKIII is not comfortable to fly on cross countries above
90 mph. In fact, it is happiest at 85 mph. Done a lot of traveling
at 85.
Wonder how long one of these Rotax powered MKIII's will fly? Have no
idea. Hopefully, until I get my fill of flying, or until I can not
longer fly safely and comfortably.
There's more than enough room on the Kolb Builders List for everything
with a Kolb handle on it. Recently, there have been days on this List
with little or no traffic. There is not an overabundance of traffic
now.
Tomorrow I am going to fly 60 miles from Gantt IAP to Circle C
airstrip, meet up with Ted Cowan and his Sling Shot, and fly about 100
miles with him, south, to Doyle Langford's airstrip and flyin. We are
going to take our camping gear and sleep on the airstrip or in Doyle's
hanger or somebody's RV. We will be imersed in "little" airplanes for
two days and a night. These are great people who I have come to love
and respect for many years.
Dale Sellers, or anyone else reading this, if you can make it to
Doyle's flyin tomorrow, you should. It is 96.7 miles from the
Americus airport to Doyle's airstrip. That is probably about 90 miles
from your place on the west side of Americus. I would be proud to
share my old MKIII and take you flying. There are others that will be
there that would feel the same way. Like I said above, these are
great people who love to share their love of flying.
Guess I better get up and get busy if I am going to make a 0700 take
off in the morning.

If everyone would like, I would be more than happy to start up such a list
here on the Matronics servers. I have model-specific lists for all of the
RV-series of aircraft, for example. Please let me know if this is what the
Kolb Listers would like.
A couple of months back, there was a discussion on the Zenith List here
about a model-specfic lists. I created a web-based survey form to poll all
of the members of the Zenith-List to see what the consensus was on adding
model specific lists. For the Zenith-List, the over-whelming response from
the poll was to keep it a single list. Might be different for the Kolb-List.
If people are interested, I will setup a poll for the Kolb-List this weekend.
Please, let's not fracture the discussions across two different systems!
Please let me know how I can make this operation serve your needs better.

Thanks Matt:
Kolb people do not segregate themselves by model at our flyins,
especially the Kolb Homecoming the last weekend of September every
year.
In my last email I stated the Kolb List traffic had been slim to none
lately. On one occassion, a few days ago, I did not receive a msg
from the Kolb List for more than 24 hours. For a little while,
thought I had been ambushed.
I have no reason nor desire to stop anyone from starting up a new
List. That is each individual's choice. However, most of us on this
List have special experience with most of the models discussed here.
If I can be of assistance to anyone on the US, FS, and MKIII, or any
of the other remaining Kolb models I have had the opportunity to fly,
please let me know. One of the primary reasons for this List is to
help others before they experience the same mistakes of those who have
gone before them.
Take care,
john h

IF you are still fighting violent engine shake at startup (important:
assuming you have the HD starter and slipper clutch already), then try the
following: TURN OFF one of your Mag circuits instead of turning them both on
like you usually do. Once the engine starts, THEN turn it on!
(RD) Thanks for the comments Jon. I've got a lot to learn about the 912S
on the SS that I'm rebuilding. I do know that it's a violent beast if you
don't get the rpm up immediately on startup. I saw a service bulletin about
the HD starter option, but don't have any idea what a "slipper clutch" is at
the moment.
(RD) I still REALLY want to use a rotary engine on the SS, but can't bring
myself to abandon a 230 hour 912S engine that's already been mounted. Sure
hope no one makes me an offer I can't refuse for the engine :-)
Cheers,
Rusty (gotta go visit the local single rotor guru)

Just a second thought. How about going back to Dale's first thought?
Stay on the regular Kolb list with our UltraStars, but start the second group
for all Cuyuna users, Kolb or otherwise. We can harvest even more good information
by opening to other homebuilts that might be using a Cuyuna. Some, other
than Kolb, use them in tractor configuration which might reveal tricks we can
use with our UltraStars. What do you think?

My solution to the EIS switch location was to make a small console and panel located
on the floor board just ahead of the dual control linkage. I did not locate
the switches under the left seat because I wanted to be able to see them.
Also I did not want to extend the wires to another location because splicing just
adds to the number of connections in the system and reduces the overall reliability.
The master switch and Mag switch were also located on the new panel.
The photo below shows the new location.
The best part is that it works.

Rusty & Richard,
The difference in SS landing gear was the axle fitting. I put 2 calipers on
each side for added braking and the axle bolt was ripping the axle attach
tube. I showed this to TNK and they made me a special gear with thicker
bottoms. The first buyer of the SS was from Texas. He landed in strong winds
and let the right wing and stab contact the runway scraping the covering
away. I bought it back at a reduced price and recovered and repainted right
wing & stab to keep it from looking patched up. Yes it was a pain in the
rear to paint back all those colors but I couldn't have it looking patched
up. I never repaired anything in the tail but heard through the grapevine
that the second buyer ground looped it. I loved that little plane but was
starting to do aerobatics it wasn't designed for so sold it and bought a
Decathlon.
Bill Woods
P.S. I'll try to post a photo when it was new.

The difference in SS landing gear was the axle fitting. I put 2 calipers on
each side for added braking and the axle bolt was ripping the axle attach
tube. I showed this to TNK and they made me a special gear with thicker
bottoms.
(RD) One sign of a good company is that they learn, and improve their
products. I just received two new gear legs from TNK, and you'll be happy
to know that they seem to have adopted the heavy duty axle fitting as
standard. Richard, FYI, the axle fitting tube is 1" OD on the later gear.
The first buyer of the SS was from Texas. He landed in strong winds
and let the right wing and stab contact the runway scraping the covering
away. I bought it back at a reduced price and recovered and repainted right
wing & stab to keep it from looking patched up.
(RD) Thanks for the rest of the history Bill. Sounds like the plane's had a
hard life, and it makes me feel that much better about taking it all apart
to rebuild it. I've already found a couple broken welds in the fuselage
cage, so I'll get to play with my TIG welder some more :-)
I loved that little plane but was starting to do aerobatics it wasn't
designed for
(RD) Shame on you :-) Thanks for testing it so thoroughly. That's one of
the reasons I'm very comfortable removing the BRS.
(RD) Thanks again for the comments Bill. Always good to hear from you.
Cheers,
Rusty

I had the same thing happen, then I realized that

(it's all one line)...
You have to enter the 7 manually...

| Subject: | Fair price for used 912S? |
--> Kolb-List message posted by: "Rusty" <13brv3c@bellsouth.net>
Greetings,
As stupid as it sounds, I'm thinking seriously about selling the 912S that
came on the SS I bought, but I have no idea what a fair price would be. It's
about 5 years old, with about 230 hours on it, and would sell with the Titan
exhaust, oil tank, oil cooler, radiator, throttle and choke linkages, and
any hardware used to mount it on the SS. For now, let's assume there would
be no prop included, since the Warp Drive is already being listed on E-bay,
and I can exchange my new IVO if needed.
What would be a fair price to ask?
Thanks,
Rusty (yes, I may actually BE crazy)

Dale,
The idea you are referring to was someone elses, my only comment on this
thread is whats shown below. The other comments about switching around was
somehow tied to my name in some-body elses reply.
Sincerely,
