Just a word of caution, be careful who you tell you are doing commercial
photography in an experimental aircraft. It cannot be used for commercial
purposes. You're doing that for the fun of it, right:)
As for sitting in the right seat of a Mk II, it makes the plane roll right.
If you sit in the left seat, it rolls left. If you have the same weight in
both seats, it flies straight.

--> Kolb-List message posted by: "kfackler" <kfackler@ameritech.net>
>>mounting my radio antenna to the tail boom just in front of the vertical
stab using tie wraps to hold the wire down to the boom
I did it that way too and had good results. When I had to replace the tail
boom a year ago, I took that opportunity to run it inside the tailboom,
eliminating the danger of the coax coming loose during flight. I got the
antennae from STA-Lite Aviation (www.staliteaviation.com) and it works
great. I routinely talk with pilots 30-40 miles away and on good days have
done so at 80 miles. I can frequently hear pilots on the far side of the
state, but I'm not able to talk with them.
I used John Hauck's solution to the "left roll" tendency and it works great!
I've never tried flying mine from the right seat. Now that I've redone my
panel with all the switches on the left, I wouldn't try it, but I feel
pretty sure that would eliminate the roll tendency too.

In response to seeing the safety pin thread I need to respond along a more
sinister line ....I once had a GA experience that high lighted the reason for
doing good preflight inspections .....It also made a big jump in my paranoia
! I had just completed a trip to Florida from Western NY (winter1995 ) in a Pa-20
Pacer I had owned for some time. Upon going to the airport a couple days
later I found a note taped to the door that read "do not fly this aircraft, cotter
pins missing right aileron". A friend had noticed my aircraft tied down and
was looking it over when he discovered the missing cotter pins. The pins
were there when I took off from my strip in NY ! I am sure of that because the
aircraft was preflighted with particular attention to those pins before the
flight.
It was a one day trip although out of my sight only for short stops ....the
moral of the story....preflight your aircraft every time before you fly . The
individual who did that deed may still be out there....It won't make any difference
if you have the "right" type of safety pin with that guy on the loose...I
haven't got the faintest clue as to what might motivate someone to do such
a thing but it did happen...I still wonder if I flew it with the missing pins
for part of the trip!

Bill and others,
I do the same thing, put the 5/16" clevis pin in from the rear. I also use a spacer
bushing to fill the space between the cage and the safety ring. In place
of a bushing, I have used an old A/N nut too.
Speaking of safety rings and pins, I just replaced my 1/4" lift strut clevis pins
a couple of years ago, not because they were worn, but because I have been
using them for 16 years. They don't seem to wear and I have no slop in the hole.
Note: I use the CC-5 safety rings here:

Hi Ralph,
One of mine, the left wing, also wants to move out to the ring. So now I put
the pin in from the rear, with the safety ring at the front. Now when the
pin moves forward, the flanged head of the pin stops it from going thru the spar
fitting.

--> Kolb-List message posted by: Cavuontop@aol.com
Gentlemen:
I've been on this list for 10 years now. And like with the various,
jobs, wives, and careers I've had in that stretch its time for me to move on.
My involvement with the Kolb company started in the early 80's when I'd drive
out to Homer's farm and look at the early open cockpit Twinstars. I think
Dennis was flying his KR-2 back then, and I was flying hang gliders off the
hill near the mental hospital at Westchester, PA.
What really cinched it for me was when Rotax came out with the dual
ignition 503, which I think was in '87. I thought that was the first thing I'd
seen on a plane of that class that actually looked like an aircraft engine.
So my Dad and I bought a Twinstar Mark II kit. I built it in my brother's
hangar in Essex, Maryland while I was living in New York City. I'd drive down
Friday night and sleep on the floor of the hangar and get up in the morning
and pop rivets until it was dark. My Dad and I put 130 hours on that plane and
then sold it when Kolb came out with the Mark III. The two of us could just
barely close the canopy on the Mark II, we are both over six feet. It was
fun flying, but if we both took a deep breath at the same time we might have
broken something.
The Mark III we subsequently built was a huge step up. And as I look
back across the history of the light aircraft business I think it was a
watershed product. With a 65 hp 582 that plane out performed a 65 hp Piper Cub
in
every category but fuel burn. 15 years down the road the Mark III classic is
still a viable product, its record is excellent, and the clever and
conservative engineering that Dennis and Homer did has stood the test of time.
But after 100 or so hours I just sold my Mark III. I took my new wife
for ONE ride. That's right-- just one-- and it scared her to death. And mind
you this is a girl who has climbed Kilimanjaro, hiked the Himalayas through
Nepal, and has a job that requires her to do stuff I couldn't do in a million
years. Anyway, what I found out later was that while she was scared to
death in the Kolb she was just fine in a Bonanza. And this has shaped my flying.
I started doing more high and fast and less and less low and slow. Anyway,
she finally made me a deal-- if I sold the Kolb I could have any plane I
wanted. And who wouldn't take that offer?
But I wasn't entirely willing to let go of my love of tubes and rag. So
I got a Bellanca Viking. Steel tube fuselage, wood wings and fabric
covering. Its got a 300 hp Continental IO-520-k. So these days its not 2 cylinders
at 1000 feet at 50 kts, its 6 cylinders at 9000 ft at 170 kts. Its just a
different kind of flying, I get my IFR clearance, couple the autopilot to the
GPS, hit the altitude hold and sit back and watch the ground go by.
I'm sure I'll be back someday, guys. Kolb flying is just too much fun
to give up altogether, but at the moment I gotta do what I gotta do. I'd like
to thank all of the contributors to this list for the help they have offered
me over the years; in particular the Good Reverend Pike and John Hauck; they
are an inspiration; and Bruce Chestnut who is doing a helluva job with the
company in a tough business climate.
Good luck guys, be safe.
Mark R. Sellers

Is this a CB antenna? If it is I hope you aren't using it with an aircraft

Hi Mark/Gang:
Wondered what had happened to you. Sorry to hear about your
transition to "real" airplanes, but one must do what one must do.
Hope you will come back to the List and check in on us. Also feel you
will come back to the little airplanes some day. There is no other
way to experience the best part of flying than in a Kolb, low and
slow, or, for that matter, high and slow. But, if ya love it, you
love it.
Good luck,
john h

Dale,
I expect you are right. I haven't been tracking the requirements for
folks that already have a medical and a Private ticket. In my case, I don't
have anything (except a BFI from ASC) and that's why I'll have to take the
tests.

I had an experience just as scary.. Some years back living in So.Calif. I had
a beautiful Razor Back Aeronca C3 which I hangered at Torrance Airport. There
were other craft in the hanger so it was open a good deal of the day. As you know
the C3's don't have struts but are totally wire braced. I came out to fly
and fortunately didn't fail to do a pre-flight. I found every cotter pin on all
eight wire braces missing. If I hadn't done the pre-flight my day would have
probably been ruined. Regardless of how secure one feels about the condition
of your airplane there is always some one out there who gets a kick out of such
devilment.

Yeah, 4 more connections to possibly leak. Haven't had any, though.
> How about some numbers on engine oil temps compared to OAT?
I've run down to zero degrees, and the temps will always get up to 180+.
I've occasionally run into the 220+ range in 90+ degrees OAT, but a
thermostat isn't going to make any difference on the top end of temps
anyway. That's more of a cooler capacity. My first one had the cooler on
the back side of the radiator. My current configuration has the oil cooler
in front, but I haven't flown in warm weather yet (first flight was
Thanksgiving).
> How many hours have you used the thermostat?
185 hours on the first plane, and 10 on my current one.

None.

Russ;
All the mods I've seen on Adriel's plane are
for the benefit of his passion..... photography.
He built a "pod" that occupies the entire area
of the 2nd seat and houses all his equipment
in this pod (as well as some on the outside of
it. A very nice, and somewhat aerodynamic
structure that seems to serve him well.
I took a couple pix of it awhile back, so I've
included a pic with this note.

Russ/Gang:
Try contacting Adriel direct. Bet he would be glad to share some pics
of his bird.
Hate to admit it, but there is quit a bit of "Hauck" in Adriel's
Twinstar. Bro Jim has overhauled the fuselage for Adriel on two
occassions. Adriel belongs to that group of Kolber's that have been
very lucky.

Ralph,
Where do you get them from???? I called the company and they don't sell
small quantities. They told me hardware stores and Fastenall carry them.
Right!!! Hit all the big names, including Home Depot and they don't have
them. Local Fastenall doesn't carry them, but can order from Phoenix =
$50.00 minimum. Went to a boat place and they don't have them, but do have
something similar, but only on special order. Ordered two @ $2.00 each to
see if they'll work. Any suggestions?

| Subject: | Ultra Light Vehicle Built From Aluminum Ladders |
--> Kolb-List message posted by: Jack & Louise Hart <jbhart@ldd.net>
Kolbers,
This is a non Kolb, but I thought it may be of interest.
I received and email from a fellow in Spain asking questions about the
Victor 1. He said his next project would be a Pouchel 2 G
(www.pouduciel.com). I checked it out and it is an interesting version of
the Flying Flea. Two aluminum ladders are used as wing spars and another
for the fuselage. The web site he listed is French, but if you click on the
flag at the upper right, there is an English version too but it is different
from the French version.
If you Google "www.pouduciel.com" you can get to the same site and Google
will translate it for you.
Specs lifted from the page are:
.........................................
POUCHEL PULMA
Single-seater formulates H.MIGNET with engine HIRTH 25 CV(hp)
reducer 2.5/1-Propeller 1 m 50 > 59 in
Span of the front wing - 6 m > 19 ft 8 in
Span of the back wing - 4 m > 13 ft 1 in
Twist(chord) - 1 m 20 > 47 in
Profile - NACA 23112
Surface - 12 m 2 > 110 sq ft
Empty weight - 80 kg > 176 lbs
Mass in maximum loading - 170 kg > 374 lbs > 3.4 lbs/sq ft
Maximum speed VNE - 120 km/h > 74.5 mph
Manoeuvring speed - 100 km/h > 62.4 mph
Load factor - + 4 G/- 2 G
................................................
Wing loading at max weight it 3.4 lbs/ sq ft as apposed to 4.7 lbs/sq ft for
the FireFly. Looks like fun.

Mark,
If that hill was on the road to Lenape, just a short distance off the
Strasburg road, then I may have seen you and some other guys flying. I passed
by
there frequently back in the 70's & 80's going from Coatesville to NJ via
Chester-Bridgeport ferry. Stopped to watch a few times. Really got my interest
going.
Enjoy the high flying!

Dave,
First of all I have to ask Matt why all the weird characters in the subject line
when I write a post to the list? What might be causing this Matt?
I got my safety rings 18 years ago at a marine store and got so many of them that
I haven't had a need for anymore. They work very well and I use one on the
tail stabilizer wires at the bottom. I fly from grass and the weeds have never
taken it loose. During the winter, snow and ice have not affected it either.
