I dunno, Don. The 101 lbs sounds great if true, but 105 hp from 156 cubic
inches at only 3300 rpm.........?? With a 4 stroke ?? With a turbo, sure.
At higher rpm's, sure. I can't help being a little sceptical. You da Honda
man, what do you think ?? Lar. Do not Archive.

LArry.
well pard......I am very skeptical of those preformance claims, to say the
least. As Topher mentioned, it is an L-head design, which does not lead to
very good efficiency. At the RPm level mentioned, I dont really see how they
can get enough cylinder filling efficiency to get anywhere near 101 hp,
unless it is running on nitro! The highest hp L-heads I am aware of are
highly modified K-model Kohlers of 50 cubes running on alkey and they get
around 55 hp at 7500 and have a very short life (hot-rod tractor pullers),,
long strokes and unbelievable piston speeds.
However...all that being said....an L-head design really isnt so bad at low
rpms,as far as cylinder filling eff. goes and it does make for a very narrow
engine in the opposed configuration, and a 75 hp 100 lb engine would still
be a market success in my estimation.

Looks good but is it going to be on the market ever? My only concern if the
HP claims are accurate is the RPM (3300 RPM). This is the same RPM my direct
drive VW was tuned for rated power. The prop would need to be in the mid 50"
range at those RPMs and they just don't produce the kind of thrust we need
for our kolbs. Once again these engine designers don't understand props.

--> Kolb-List message posted by: "flykolb" <flykolb@carolina.rr.com>
Fellow Kolbers,
Bad news for me. After a short but great flight last weekend, I had to have two
stents in my heart on Monday. I understand that my medical is now void and it
will take a minimum of 9 months to get a new one.
Therefore I would like to sell my Mark III or trade it for a true ultralight -
preferably a Kolb.
My Mark III was built in 1991 by a machinist and flies great. It has a 532 engine,
hydraulic brakes,strobes, electric sart, ELT, a 3 blade PowerFin ground adjustable
composite prop, and a BRS chute. I just bought a RANS type heater to
keep the enclosure warm in the winter.
Pleae contact me off list if interested. I will take pictures as soon as I am allowed
to drive to the airport.

Jim/Gang:
Isn't this what Sport Pilot is for?
You haven't taken another Class III and failed it, so you should be
good to go with your PVT ticket and a valid drivers license.
I admit I know very little about Sport Pilot because I don't need it
yet.
Some of the guys on the List will know for sure.
Sure be nice to keep and fly your MKIII as a Sport Pilot.

John H. is correct about not needing the medical to fly the Mark III.
Since 1 Sep 2004 all you need is a valid driver's license and a airplane
that meets the criteria for Light Sport Aircraft, which all our Kolbs do
(except the Sport 600).

Why sell? Have you been denied for a medical? If not you can still fly
legally. You can get your sport pilot license without a medical if you don't
have one or if you have a regular pilot license you can fly a light sport
plane legally without a medical. I have my regular pilot's license and plan
to never take another physical. I'm legal as long as I fly light sport
planes like my MIKE.

I think he has to let his current medical expire then not try to renew it.
If it's revoked I think he's SOL. Kirk

Check me out: If he doesn't fill out another FAA Medical Personal
History Form, and get another physical, there is no need to report to
FAA current medical status. Let current Class III or what ever level
flight physical expire, make sure you have a copy of your PVT license
and current drivers license in your pocket and go fly legally as a
Sport Pilot.
On another subject, looks like two months to Sun and Fun, and three
months until time to go to MV. I was ready to go last month.

Jim in Charlotte,
What the other guys are telling you is correct. If you just let your present
medical expire and don't apply for a new one, you are home free to go Sport
Pilot with a valid drivers license. Just don't rock the boat and volunteer
any information as to why you are letting your old medical expire. Be sure your
paper work is up to date on the Kolb, carry the drivers license and fly pretty
much as you always have.

All
Thanks to all who replied. It looks like you may be right on the sport pilot
thing. The EAA site says :
"Requires either a 3rd class FAA medical certificate or a current and valid
U.S. driver's license as evidence of medical eligibility (provided the
individual does not have an official denial or revocation of medical
eligibility on file with FAA)."
Many, many thanks.
By the way, I consider myself very lucky. I took my dog for a walk on Sat.
and after hiking up a short but steep trail, I had tightness in the chest
and pain in my left arm. By then I was on somewhat level ground and
continued my 2 mile hike. the pain left in about 5 minutes after it started.
I didn't think much of it until Sunday when I read the Parade magazine
article on taking care of your heart. The first two symtoms of a problem
were the two I had. I went into the emergency room, had an EKG, and they
kept me there.
Next day I had the stent. One of my arteries by the heart was 95% blocked
and it also had a 90% blockage. My condition was a time bomb waiting to go
off and it probably would have been fatal. My thanks to Parade!
Lesson: Listen to your body!
Gratefully,
Jim

Jim,
As John said, that's what Sport Pilot is for. It depends on how your
medical got "voided." If the FAA revoked it, then you've got a problem and
have to get the problem taken care of. But if the FAA hasn't actually
revoked it, then you should be ok to fly under Sport Pilot. I would
certainly get with EAA, if you are a member, and talk to someone and give
them the particulars before selling the MK III. I'm in a bit of the same
situation. My medical was denied a couple of years ago. Therefore I can't
use my driver's license for a medical under Sport Pilot. But I've addressed
all of the problems they didn't like and sent it back in around the
beginning of Dec and am anxiously awaiting the results. Whatever they give
me, I will let it expire then my driver's license will suffice for Sport
Pilot.
Good Luck
AzDave
