--> Kolb-List message posted by: N27SB@aol.com
Hi to All,
The reason that I switched my Dual Mikuni fuel pump on the FireFly to a
single pump was because of poor clearance between the right aileron control horn
and the pump fittings. I noticed this prior to a flight by seeing a mist of fuel
while pumping up the carb. The control horn had pinched the new tygon fuel
line at the output fitting and made a tiny hole. This could have been a real
problem. My configuration makes this possible because of the floats that are
installed. However if it is possible for your control horn to contact your pump
and you fold your plane this could happen. I think TNK ships the dual pump on
the new Firefly kits in order to stock just one pump. I will call Travis this
morning and mention this to him.
Also, Duane tells me that he switched to the dual pump because CPA told him
that it had better guts. Can anyone verify this?

Steve,
Can't verify that the dual pump is better, but I can say that I have 169
hours on a small one. I expect to rebuild it at 200 hours.

Thanks Jack,
I talked to Travis this morning and he says that Kodiak quit supplying the
single pump with the engine kits. He will see about stocking it for those who
want an option. That may be better than modifying each new cage. The single
pump is still available from CPA, Leading edge and Aircraft Spruce for about
$20.00.

Kolbers,
Since everyone here seems to have more experience than I do. Can I bundle the
thermocouple wires for the EIS with the wires from the alternator on my 503?
I'm wondering if the AC in the alt wires would interfere with the tiny current
in the thermocouple wires Is this a problem?. Mag kill wires should be no problem
since they are shielded. I would like to make everything nice and neat
in one bundle.

Hi John,
dunno! Haven`t looked that up yet.
No doubt Kiwimick will tell us as he is about at that point with his wing

Looks as though the PFA engineering dept and you are on the same wavelength.
That gives me comfidence.

A little additional on this kind of BMW engine (I do not know anything about
this particular engine). It is a later model BMW with oil cooled heads.
The engine is throttle body fuel injected and would need an oil cooler. It
should put out between 80 and 85 HP (it does not say on ebay what the
displacement is). Parts for this are readily available and there are people
who can make it a dual plug engine. I believe the drive is out of Germany
and it costs about $1700 when fully configured. The drive incorporates a
centrifugal clutch. The entire package should weigh around 170# when
installed. I don't believe the drive can be rotated to the down position
(but my "C" box is in the up position on my MKIII BMW). All of us on the
list (that I know of) are using an older model of BMW that is carbureted and
totally air cooled. The engine on e-bay seems like it would be a good deal
(if its actually in good shape) if it goes for around $2500, a person could
have it flying for an additional $500 to $700. This information is based on
me having no experience with this particular type of engine and redrive, but
I have been researching BMW's for a long time. It is up to the potential
purchaser to cover their own rear end.

Hey I was looking thru E-bay and ran accross a BMW engine with reduction
drive for sale. It is up to $1500.00 but will likely go for more. The
reduction drive looks like it can be mount in the down position so that the
thrust line will be lower. Check it out at

I think the round pump has a mylar diaphram which is pretty much
indestructable. the square one has a rubber diaphram which has all of the
attributes of rubber. Cracking and drying! Herb

Actually the web site that the add. directs you to shows that the reduction
drive can be mounted up or down.
This version of the BMW engine is offered new in 80, 90, and 100HP versions
were the only differences are in the RPMs that the engine runs. It looks
like quite a deal depending on the bidding.

John/all.
The hinges on the UK models has to be changed from the origional rolled type
to extruded, this is to eliminate the possibility of the hinge un rolling in
the event of flutter or wear.
We have TNK supply all this in the kits now, including the roll control
stops which are wilded to the aileron torque tube.
These are all mods which I had to devise to gain compliance of the BCAR
section S requirements.

Hi Mike/Gang:
That's what I figured. However, based on punishment, i.e., crashes,
horsing controls, etc., one will not unroll the normal piano hinge we
have been using since day one. All my airplanes were tested,
inadvertently, in slight to full flutter of the ailerons. No problems
with hinges. I have never been able to get a Kolb to flutter the
elevators, however, some pretty severe occillations could be gotten
into if half asleep at the controls and too little pressure was kept
on the rudder pedals to prevent inadvertent rudder flutter.
We put aileron stops on my MKIII.
Elevator stops were built into the elevator control mechanism when it
hits the tailpost ring, top and bottom.
Take care,
john h
PS: Thanks for the info.

"Can you demonstrate that this engine runs to the winning bidder? Thanks!!
Kirk Smith, in Michigan"
I sent the above question to the seller of this BMW engine on ebay and below
is his response.
"the engine came off 1995 r1100rs runing, but wrecked. it comes with the
wire harness for the ultralight, throthle bodies, injectors, starter,
generator. we have a customer that will sell his computer for 450.00. the
engine is the best engine bmw every built"
I wasn't sure whether the engine was running after the wreck from his
response so I sent him another question asking if it was indeed running
after the wreck and what he meant by ultralight harness. I have yet to
recieve a reply. Maybe I'm asking to many questions?

The pics you see are without the chute and no full inclosure as these were
taken a coulpe of years ago. this plane has only been outside for flying time
only (90 hours) and i was finished with the build process in 2001 and plane has
been flown for only 4 years. i will post more pics with the chute on and full
enclosure when the weather warms up.

Dear kolb list...the past 4 years has been a pleasure to know you fellows and many
of you have given me a wealth of information and I can't even begin to mention
all the names with the fact that I might miss some names. Ok john h. on planes
and big lar on some antique gas engines and I can't forget my flying buddies
ralph b. jon l. and turk. First of all I know i'am going to be asked why
i'am leaving this sport for now and there are several reasons why. First of all
I just plain have too many hobbies and i'am spreading myself too thin. I love
my john deere tractors and miss restoring them as I have no time anymore. Also
I will be getting a new hunting dog this spring and want to spend more time
with it this fall for hunting. Land will be coming up for sale next to our cabin
up north and I want to get enough cash together to purchase it for my later
years in life to enjoy and work on tractors. (homer would be proud) I have always
wanted to fly ultralights in the mid seventies but never had the money and
now that I have flown them i'am satisfied.
Here is what i'am selling.....
1993 ? Kolb kxp firestar w/447 rotax point ign. 5 gal. gas tank,7 rib wing
Hours on airframe and engine.....87
90% full enclosure w/right side door
Gauges on panel are:
ball and slip
compass card
3" asi
alt. 1,000 - 10,000...20' inc.
cht
egt
combo rpm & hour meter
discs brakes
tennessee prop is 66" x 32
kuntzleman dual flash streamlined wing tip strobes...(280.00)
I bought this plane in the spring of 2000(yes he was still working on it after
7 years because he would only work in the summer months when it was warm because
he had no heat in the shop for winter) 80% finished from an engineer who bought
it brand new. He has done all the fabric work on it and he was as engineers
are very meticulous. All I had to do is buy gauges and install the engine and
gas lines and put a brand new BRS in 2001 of aug. on it. Repack is due aug.
of 2007 and rocket is due 2012 of aug. so you see you can fly awhile without
spending a lot of money right away. Gauges alone were over 700.00 and I did not
buy the cheap ones. The plane has been painted in insignia white and is in very
nice cond. It could use another coat on the boom tube in some spots as it
was sprayed on light in some areas. The plane has never been wrecked and I have
never even had a hard landing with it nor has the legs ever been bent. It flies
just as a kolb should with no surprises. Cruises at 60 with the 66" x 32 prop.
If you put a IVO prop on this I know you will get 70mph out of her because
I have streamlined the full enclosure. As you can see by the hours on this low
time kolb I did not fly as much as I would have liked to. It seemed liked when
I worked it was always calm outside and when I was off it was lousy weather.
Also trying to take care of 200 acres and a cabin was not easy. This will make
someone a very nice aircraft and if they want to paint it I have 3 gal. of
cub yellow paint #143,1 gal.paint cleaner, 2 gal. reducer, 1 qt. reducer, 1 qt.
rejuvenator, 1 qt. polybrush, 1 qt. poly spray. I just bought all these items
last year and it came to over 460.00 for it all and if the person who buys
the plane wants it he has first choice at that time to buy it for 325.00 otherwise
I will sell it to someone on the list if they are interested. I have receipts
for any item you wish to look at. I will try and get as many pics of the
plane and at any angle you want. I also have a 2000 24' enclosed haulmark tandem
dual electric brakes. 3500 lb. Per Axel haulmark. 4' beavertail inside. Curb
side door and rear folding ramp door. I'am asking 10,700 for the plane and 9800.00
with out the BRS.
If you wish to buy the plane and trailer add 4300.00 or 14,100 with out the B.S.
If you wish to purchase just the trailer that is 4500.00 I will deliver this
plane with or without trailer purchase for 1.50 a loaded mile up to 500 miles
from mpls. I will not sell the trailer before the plane as I have no room to
store it as it is my hanger. If you want me to demo the plane for you and you
are close to mpls. Please let me know and we can make arrangements. I may put
a couple more hours on it as the snow is here and I have my skiis on it right
now. If I don't sell it on the list I will then list it on barnstormers and at
that point if it still does not sell I will list it on ebay and I plan on not
to give it away but I 'am confident someone will buy it on the kolb list or they
may know someone who would like a nice kolb kxp model. There may be some of
you who are not familiar with the kolb product and if you call me I will tell
you more about the features of this ultralight. Please, please, please, if you
have any questions about this unit please contact me by phone or email @ johndeereantique@qwest.net
Thanks,
Gary r. voigt

Dear kolb list...the past 4 years has been a pleasure to know you fellows and many
of you have given me a wealth of information and I can't even begin to mention
all the names with the fact that I might miss some names. Ok john h. on planes
and big lar on some antique gas engines and I can't forget my flying buddies
ralph b. jon l. and turk. First of all I know i'am going to be asked why
i'am leaving this sport for now and there are several reasons why. First of all
I just plain have too many hobbies and i'am spreading myself too thin. I love
my john deere tractors and miss restoring them as I have no time anymore. Also
I will be getting a new hunting dog this spring and want to spend more time
with it this fall for hunting. Land will be coming up for sale next to our cabin
up north and I want to get enough cash together to purchase it for my later
years in life to enjoy and work on tractors. (homer would be proud) I have always
wanted to fly ultralights in the mid seventies but never had the money and
now that I have flown them i'am satisfied.
Here is what i'am selling.....
1993 ? Kolb kxp firestar w/447 rotax point ign. 5 gal. gas tank,7 rib wing
Hours on airframe and engine.....87
90% full enclosure w/right side door
Gauges on panel are:
ball and slip
compass card
3" asi
alt. 1,000 - 10,000...20' inc.
cht
egt
combo rpm & hour meter
discs brakes
tennessee prop is 66" x 32
kuntzleman dual flash streamlined wing tip strobes...(280.00)
I bought this plane in the spring of 2000(yes he was still working on it after
7 years because he would only work in the summer months when it was warm because
he had no heat in the shop for winter) 80% finished from an engineer who bought
it brand new. He has done all the fabric work on it and he was as engineers
are very meticulous. All I had to do is buy gauges and install the engine and
gas lines and put a brand new BRS in 2001 of aug. on it. Repack is due aug.
of 2007 and rocket is due 2012 of aug. so you see you can fly awhile without
spending a lot of money right away. Gauges alone were over 700.00 and I did not
buy the cheap ones. The plane has been painted in insignia white and is in very
nice cond. It could use another coat on the boom tube in some spots as it
was sprayed on light in some areas. The plane has never been wrecked and I have
never even had a hard landing with it nor has the legs ever been bent. It flies
just as a kolb should with no surprises. Cruises at 60 with the 66" x 32 prop.
If you put a IVO prop on this I know you will get 70mph out of her because
I have streamlined the full enclosure. As you can see by the hours on this low
time kolb I did not fly as much as I would have liked to. It seemed liked when
I worked it was always calm outside and when I was off it was lousy weather.
Also trying to take care of 200 acres and a cabin was not easy. This will make
someone a very nice aircraft and if they want to paint it I have 3 gal. of
cub yellow paint #143,1 gal.paint cleaner, 2 gal. reducer, 1 qt. reducer, 1 qt.
rejuvenator, 1 qt. polybrush, 1 qt. poly spray. I just bought all these items
last year and it came to over 460.00 for it all and if the person who buys
the plane wants it he has first choice at that time to buy it for 325.00 otherwise
I will sell it to someone on the list if they are interested. I have receipts
for any item you wish to look at. I will try and get as many pics of the
plane and at any angle you want. I also have a 2000 24' enclosed haulmark tandem
dual electric brakes. 3500 lb. Per Axel haulmark. 4' beavertail inside. Curb
side door and rear folding ramp door. I'am asking 10,700 for the plane and 9800.00
with out the BRS.
If you wish to buy the plane and trailer add 4300.00 or 14,100 with out the B.S.
If you wish to purchase just the trailer that is 4500.00 I will deliver this
plane with or without trailer purchase for 1.50 a loaded mile up to 500 miles
from mpls. I will not sell the trailer before the plane as I have no room to
store it as it is my hanger. If you want me to demo the plane for you and you
are close to mpls. Please let me know and we can make arrangements. I may put
a couple more hours on it as the snow is here and I have my skiis on it right
now. If I don't sell it on the list I will then list it on barnstormers and at
that point if it still does not sell I will list it on ebay and I plan on not
to give it away but I 'am confident someone will buy it on the kolb list or they
may know someone who would like a nice kolb kxp model. There may be some of
you who are not familiar with the kolb product and if you call me I will tell
you more about the features of this ultralight. Please, please, please, if you
have any questions about this unit please contact me by phone or email @ johndeereantique@qwest.net
Thanks,
Gary r. voigt

If nobody else is interested in this engine I will bid on it. If somebody
wants it let me know and I will back off. No point of us upping the purchase
price needlessly.

Dennis,
Thank you for the compliment. The shop I have the luxury of working in
belongs to my father-n-law. He built it mainly for the purpose of building
and storing airplanes.As for making every jealous..well that was not my
intent. But while were at it I might as well go ahead and rub in the fact it
has central heating and air conditioning, carpeted office with internet,
full bath and the whole shop cleans it's self! Just kidding.
Hope to get the wings in their final position soon so I can assemble the
lift struts and set her on the ground. Measured the distance from the prop
to the ailerons and I have enough to make standard Mark III flaps! The
torque tubes will have to me longer so they will reach the narrow fuselage
where a Cessna flap motor will do it's thing. Thanks to all for the help
could not have done this without this list. Should be covering soon!
Paul Petty

Thanks for the info. I have rebuilt several chainsaw carbs, and in the last 2
years most have changed to mylar. But the funny thing is that the mylar does
not last much longer than rubber. It appears that it is the little flappers
that fatigue and fail.
The real questions is what is supplied now.

Herb,
I guess I slightly misspoke. Actually my Mikuni pump is more rectangular
than square.
