OK, on the CAWSP test (Common Abbreviations for Wannabe Sport Pilots) I
score:
SP = Sport Pilot (I guess)
USUA BFI CFI FSDO FAA = Federal Aviation Authority (supposedly)
DPE
Which gives me a poor 29%.
Can anyone help me out?

Jim and Group,
If that happened to me, I would not fly again until I
checked the rings and pistons, like Richard Pike
suggested. This is from my experience of flying with 6
different 2 cycle engines over 17 years as well as
being a many year member of a large ultralight club.
I do not even like to fly with any two cycle, unless
it is new, or I have seen the pistons and rings with
my own eyes. It is one thing to run a motorcycle after
a seizure and quite another to fly after one.
While a number of problems could have caused your
engine out, it may have been a cold seizure.
John Jung

I have stated this in the past, and will do so in the future as well.
this is intended for new 2 cycle users,
a 2 cycle engine uses gas as part of the cooling process. if you run a 2
cycle engine lean
you can get a lot of power from it. BUT YOU WILL OVER HEAT AND SEIZE YOUR
ENGINE.
if you notice your egt's getting warm go to full throttle and watch the heat
go away. (if you have the right jet in the carb)
I have noticed the people who trash the engines are the ones who change the
jets the most.
just watch the egt's and make sure you are not close to the max temp. egt's
are not
real accurate as far as temps go. the accuracy will change with the temp out
side.

My Egts were near 1000 also when I had the piston siezeure on the G50
Zenoah. I think I went lean when I lowered the nose and set the rpms to
cruise power. The engine just gradually lost power and stopped. A real
hard climb out followed by a reduction in power. Likely I should have
reduced the power more slowly??
Bottom line: I did an in air restart and flew the plane 10 miles to
the next airport and did a cursory exam but did not look at the pistons.
Flew another 20 miles home and did the piston exam the next morning.
I found light scoring and one of the rings was stuck in a small area.
My take is that if the engine looses power gradually--you may have a
piston to change! Herb

John and others,
I used to start a 377 without a prop and it would idle at 4500. Didn't dare move
the throttle.

The engine will rev really fast and very high if not careful. This
standard operating procedure for testing newly overhauled 912's
Hi Paul/Gang:
Sounds good, but be extremely careful starting a 912 or 912S without a
prop. Like you said, it will overspeed in a wink. We had that
problem with the TH-55 helicopter trainers. Started them with the
main rotor disengaged. A little too much throttle and it was
overspeeded and in the red. This was a Red X condition and the
engines had to be torn down for inspection and repair. Got to be very
expensive at Fort Wolters, TX, in the late 60's.
I think I'll stick to the old way of doing it with a prop.
Take care,

H.L. Cooper, AZ Ultralights, is the guy who does all the work on my engine.
That is his full time job and he really knows his stuff. He advised me to
take the primer bulb off my airplane because he knows of at least two engine
outs directly related to them. This was on my 447 Firestar and we took it
off and put in a primer pump. Sold it about 100 hours later with no
problems. I did the same when I bought my MK III and have about 100 hours
on its primer pump with no problems.

[Comcast finally got their act together in my new neighborhood. Getting a
high-speed internet connection again was inspiring. Turns out they never
disabled my e-mail account, so there were 1200 messages in my inbox when I
signed back on. Nice to be back. The new wings are coming along, in
between bathroom renovation and painting. See ya, D]
Thunder boomed in the distant darkness, and many of the pilots gathered in
the decrepit cafe they used to relax in the evenings following a day's
mission thought hopefully that the weather just might give them a brief
respite from the war. The recent push had placed many demands on the
battered squadron, and all the pilots could use a rest.
The silence following the lightning's report went on for too long, and
Flight Leader Hawk broke the quiet in away his men had come to treasure.
"You know, I remember once in the Mexican war when we were flying against
Pancho Villa, we had to fly around a thunderstorm that was so big it sucked
the Padre's De Havilland up to thirty thousand feet before he could escape
out the side. He passed out, but regained consciousness around ten
thousand. The motor had died and he was in a spin, but he was able to
recover and land in the desert. It was a good thing, too, because he stuck
out like a beacon out there on the sand, and we spotted him from twenty
miles away the next day. Turns out he was out of gas so we siphoned some
from the rest of us, and .."
Hawk's reverie was interrupted by the raucous buzz of a powerful motor whose
approach grew so loud as to make everyone duck behind their tables! Which
was prudent as it turned out, when a clattering, smoking German motorcycle
and sidecar crashed through the door of caf and came to shattering smash
against the bar! Out of the steam and smoke a lanky figure in cap 'n'
goggles slowly extricated itself from the wreckage, and stretched to full
height. He shook his head, and took a step towards the bar. His form was
hauntingly familiar to the pilots as they peeked around the tables they'd
sheltered behind. A figure they'd long known but had put behind them, as
pilots had learned to do since the beginning of flight.
"Could it be?" wondered the astounded pilots. "That looks like..."
"Hello lads. Can you point me in the direction of the 96th Squadron?" The
tall man pulled off his cap, revealing a shock of white hair. "I crashed
behind enemy lines a while back, and I've just gotten back across no man's
land. I could use a bite to eat if you've anything handy, I'm not
particular." The figure's speech faltered as he focused through the smoke.
"Padre, is that you? Hawk? Can it be?"
A cheer erupted as the squadron together recognized Scotty, their fallen
comrade, thought lost to the enemy these past months, and now returned to
their midst as if by a miracle. That, and modern German motorcycle
engineering. Pity that, the machine was a total writeoff, and a few of the
pilots were heard to remark on Scotty's remarkable lack of ability with
regard to two-wheeled vehicles, especially for one so gifted with winged
ones.
"I suppose we're lucky he made it this far", ventured the chief mechanic,
"but it is too bad he couldn't keep from ruining both the front suspension
and the bar, too."
"No matter," cried the jubilant Scot, "look what I've recaptured!"
Returning to the mangled sidecar, the joyful Scotty pawed through the
wreckage and clambered out, holding before him the prize.
"I crashed right near the Circus aerodrome and while I was hiding out and
planning a way back across the lines I spied them prancing about. So I
crept in one night to see what all the fuss was about. Seems they were all
excited about some trophy they were going to use to bait a trap for the
Allied squadron across the lines. I waited until they were asleep and snuck
in to get it, and guess what I found? Lar's boots!" Scotty triumphantly
held the battered flying boots above his head to the resounding cheers of
the squadron. "Here you go lad!" cried the happy Scot.
Lar crawled out from under the table he'd leapt under when the motorcycle
crashed through the bar, and gratefully accepted the return of his precious
boots. All the squadron rejoiced, glad that they would no longer have to
bear the not-so-silent suffering of their barefoot comrade.
"Fantastic!" cried the irrepressible Lar. "I'll be flying soon, now. Just
wait and see!"
Overwhelmed to be back among his fellow airmen, the joyful Scotty settled
back to enjoy the camaraderie and fellowship he'd sorely missed on his
adventure. "So," he asked, clapping the Padre on the back, "Just what have
we to eat around here?"

Hey Beauford,
How about a story or details about how this noble band of brothers got
together?
Had to be a blast.

Hi All:
Spent the last two days, beautiful clear blue and sun shine, working
on and flying my MKIII. Had not been flying since 30 Dec 04. Always
a super good feeling to get in the old bird and take off for the first
time after a long dry spell on the ground.
Had to take the right seat out today to get to the radio and intercom
wiring. Just happened to have the digital camera with me. So....I
took several shots of the seat sitting on the ground in different
positions.
http://home.elmore.rr.com/jhauck/Seat,%20Kolb/Picture%20014.jpg
Back is to the right and front is to the left.
http://home.elmore.rr.com/jhauck/Seat,%20Kolb/Picture%20013.jpg
Front to rear.
http://home.elmore.rr.com/jhauck/Seat,%20Kolb/Picture%20015.jpg
Looking at the rear. BTW that is the original Ultrastar seat cover
that came with Kolb Kits back in 1984, made by Azusa of California.
http://home.elmore.rr.com/jhauck/Seat,%20Kolb/Picture%20017.jpg
Laying on its face. Notice the aluminum sheet riveted to the seat
frame to keep my boney ass from being sucked through the 4130 seat
frame in case of a hard flat landing (crash).

Hi Dale/Gang:
I don't know how much flying you have done with your Ultrastar. Have
you noticed anything unusual about the flight characteristics and
controls while flying? Any adverse control characteristics?
I built a 1984 Ultrastar which had the universal on the main spar. I
did not have to fold my wings because I kept it in the pasture with
the cows with a couple strands of barbed wire around it.
Trying to help you out a bit on deciding to do a very major change to
the structure of your older Ultrastar.
Take care,
john h

List,
Yesterday afternoon a two place Kolb crashed just northeast of Memphis, Tn..
It struck the ground nose first and caught fire killing the pilot. One TV
crew member reported it as a Kolb and by the photos of the boom tube and tail
section there is no doubt.
The site below gives more details.

If your EGT was 1000 then a seizure seems about impossible, although

--> Kolb-List message posted by: "John Hauck" <jhauck@elmore.rr.com>
Hi Kolbers:
Hard to believe it has been nearly 7 months since I was standing on
the down side of this morraine of the a glacier I can not remember.
But.........it was just south of the Knik Glacier out of Palmer,
Alaska.
http://home.elmore.rr.com/jhauck/Knik%20River%20Alaska/scan0002.jpg
This was taken on the other side of the glacier morraine which was
about 400 feet high. Was a good hike and warmed us up for the cold
wind that was blowing off the glacial lake in July 2004. That little
piece of ice I am holding is crystal clear. Could be several thousand
years old when it calved off the glacier in the background. Those are
huge ice bergs out there floating in the lake. The water temp is very
near freezing.
http://home.elmore.rr.com/jhauck/Knik%20River%20Alaska/scan0003.jpg
I was strapping in to depart from Jim Stocker's home on the Knik River
near Palmer, Alaska. Jim was a super host. Put me up for a week.
Showed me some of the most beautifully awesome terrain I have ever
seen, right up the Knik River from his place.
http://home.elmore.rr.com/jhauck/Knik%20River%20Alaska/scan0004.jpg
Heading down Jim's lane to the air strip on the Knik River.

Shoe horned through the gate.
http://home.elmore.rr.com/jhauck/Knik%20River%20Alaska/scan0014.jpg
Down on the gravel strip on the Knik River. Experiencing a flat tire
a long way from Alabama. Got to expect stuff like this to happen when
one decides to do some serious cross country travel in a little bitty
airplane.

Taxing down the lane from Jim's house past his neighbor's log cabin,
on the way to the gravel air strip on the Knik River:
http://home.elmore.rr.com/jhauck/Knik%20River%20Alaska/scan0006.jpg
This is Jim Stocker at the same place below the glacier morraine.
That is his restored PA-11 with Alaska tires. The tires sell for
$3,500.00 a pair and worth every penny of it based on their design,
innovation, reliability, and performance.
http://home.elmore.rr.com/jhauck/Knik%20River%20Alaska/scan0008.jpg
This is what my Kolb Mark III is all about. Up and off the gravel
strip on the Knik River, fully loaded, max gross weight near 1,200
lbs, off in a couple hundred feet and climbing out. I was on my way
to Talkeetna for fuel, then on to North Pole to get ready to head
north to the Arctic.
http://home.elmore.rr.com/jhauck/Knik%20River%20Alaska/scan0015.jpg
Heading that way.

|
| Dale
Dale/Gang:
I am assuming your Ultrastar is a first generation series with wing
folding universal joint on the main spar, just the opposite of the
second generation Ultrastar, Firestar, and the rest of the later Kolb
models.
Does it have a main spar ring on the inboard rib? Or, two 4130 tubes
welded to the inboard rib for main spar attachment, inserted into the
main spar, inside top and bottom?
There was an adverse characteristic of this wing that was very
noticeable. Later design improvements eliminated this problem.
Maybe, in 10 short hours, your flying style did not get you into that
area that would demonstrat that particular wing problem.
Another problem was aileron flutter, but not everyone gets into it.
Like the Firestar and MKIII, some do and some don't. The old Factory
MKIII never showed any sign of wanting to get into aileron flutter,
but mine, with a lot of dope and paint, would flutter at anything over
80 mph, until I got and installed the aileron counter balance weights.
I personally would not change the pivot point on the wing folding
mechanism if it flew great with no adverse flight characteristics.
Unless you had rather work on it than fly.
Take care,
john h

Not much to it... Dennis was in the area on business and was kind enough to
offer to meet me to talk to me about pros and cons of increasing the gross
weight of the Firefly when I license it experimental later this year.
Brothers Neilsen and Armstrong also live in the area... George keeps his
Kolb trailer on the tiedown adjacent to mine and they came out to the strip
to say hello to Dennis. We had an enjoyable afternoon.
Incidently, the dancing girls, jugglers and Budweiser truck had all departed

Hi Folks:
It has been pointed out to me that everyone is not as familar with the
geography of Alaska as I have been blessed with by having a chance to
fly my MKIII up there. For a point of clarification, North Pole,
Alaska, is a village just south of Fairbanks. Not the geographic
North Pole. When I took off from my buddy's gravel strip on the Knik
River I was headed for the village of North Pole. The geographic
north pole is 1,200 miles north of Point Barrow, AK. A little too far
for me to attempt on 4 hours fuel. Not even one way. ;-)

Same thought crossed my mind when I read Paul's comment. You need some
load to reduce the potential of over reving the engine - could end up being
a very expensive lesson not having it loaded.

Kolbers,
I've been in contact with Homer and Clara Kolb
regarding a repeat of
last year's
Fathers Day
Fly-in at their farm. They responded that they would
indeed like to
see this happen
again
this year....>>>>
good idea Terry but i vote for a different
weekend since the Father's Day fly-in at Wellsville
happpens at the same time. obviously this would create
some conflict since we couldn't enjoy both events at
the same time. your right about Wellsville being a
good place to assemble but i still cast my vote for
Homer's being on a different weekend then the fly-in
at Wellsville. .... tim (FireFly at Shoestring)

Something you only eat when you're drunk during Mardi Gras. OK, maybe that
was just my college years :-)
