Fellow Kolbers,
Does anyone know of a sourse for a cog belt reduction drive that fits the Cuyuna
UL-02 engine on an Ultrastar. The ratio is 1.96:1. I managed to piece together
an original US redrive through the help of a friend and J-Bird Power Products
but it uses two poly-v belts and could slip. I would rather have a cog belt
version. Any help is appreciated.

I enjoyed reading all the clips about the ground looping ? of the poor
little firestar series. I flew my little 'white lightning' for over seven
years and have perservered the embarassment of nose-overs many times. It
really makes you look good when you are strapped in with your tail high in
the air and wondering how to get out of the plane and get it back on its
tail without further adue. I have never had a ground loop with the
exception of vering off into a field from being pushed by the wind (Yeah,
that's what happened). Learn from your mistakes. Now, if you want an
exciting ride on the ground, take a SlingShot for a ride. Long legs, high
off the ground, short boom, full caster wheel. Now, that is a ground loop
machine. I have ground looped mine at up to thirty-five miles an hour. It
will spin around like a top at any given time. I curbed most of its
tendencies by modifing the tail wheel not to break until about seventy
percent turn. Stengthened the tail wheel springs and learned to "stay ahead
of the ball". I can still loose it but not as frequently as I used to. I
learned that if you spin it in front of a crowd, just go around a couple
more times and act like you are showing off. Gotta save face the best you
can. I put up with this business cause this is the best flying little plane
on the Kolb market. This little 22 foot wing cuts through the carbage up
there like a hot knife. Lands on a dime, very short, handles well in cross
wind, goes like a bat outa hell and is one of the fastest buggers you can
buy for its size and weight. The best part is it handles like a dream, very
nimble, would loop and roll up there in a heartbeat if you wanted to. Love
the little bugger. Sooooo, next time you think about a little ground loop,
just think about a 19 foot boom, instead of 21 foot, a 22 foot wing instead
of 27 or 32 foot and sitting up there about four feet off the ground with a
monster on your head pushing you sideways. By the way, my little "Greezed
Lightn'n" flys hands off, no twist, turn or dive. Cant say that for the
little firestar. Just sounding off for the good ole Kolb Company's ability
to kit a great plane. Too bad it has a limited market. I dont fly people,
just bags, extra gas and -- away I go.

Your DAR or FAA representative will not be
hounding you after he signs the AWC and leaves you with his advise. If your
numbers are as you say, I don't see where you'll have any problems on the
first flight without adding all that weight.
Ok, I agree , I don't think there would be a problem......BUT , what if there
"was" and the insurance found out that I didn't do what I was suppose to do.....Because
this stuff has to pass the FAA guy before he'll call the DAR guy

Hi John,
Thats interesting. Why do you want to know?
The C of G is just a matter of sticking the a/c on some scales and doing
some calculations. If that falls within the range specified by the kit
manufacturer surely thats it.
If you want to add lead fore and aft to find out at what point you run out
of elevator authority thats all right I suppose. Having established that you
have to approach at 100 mph to enable you to flare if you have 56lbs of
weight in the nose, then what? Its not something that you are likely to want
to do. I hope.
Cheers
Pat

Maybe we should use both: http://www.wingsforum.com/ for the messages
that could do with some graphics, and this list for non graphic

I men, if you have to leave this list for Photoshare you might as well
leave it for Wingsforum, which feels a bit more like it belongs to this

Anyway: just a thought on sunday. By the way if you enjoy Old Scool I
have this tip for you:
Curious after seeing The Aviator I just downloaded the 1930 Howard

Mike,
If you are having trouble keeping your plane straight while taxiing on hard
surface, check main wheel camber and toe in. It is important that the main
wheels point a forward path parallel to the tail tube and lean out a little
at the top with the plane in the loaded condition. With main wheel toe in
and wheels that lean in a little at the top, you can expect to be very busy
on the rudder pedals.
Been there and done that.

--> Kolb-List message posted by: "Richard Swiderwski" <rswiderski@earthlink.net>
Dale,
The poly-v that you have is actually a very efficient redrive. With
much less tension required than compared to v-belts, they didn't stress the
crankshaft nearly as much & were not prone to slipping. That unit you have
though is susceptible to having a crack form where there is hole drilled at
the end of the slot that allows the Al. to clamp around the cam for
tightening the belt. Mine never did, but other's have, so just keep an eye
on it. ...Richard Swiderski

Welcome back Pat,
I hope you had a nice vacation.
>>>>The C of G is just a matter of sticking the a/c on some scales and doing
some calculations.
That is true.
>>>>If that falls within the range specified by the kit manufacturer surely

That is not so true. As the manufacturer of my airplane, I use the
guidelines given to be by the kit manufacturer and either confirm that their
numbers are correct or determine my own numbers.
>>>>If you want to add lead fore and aft to find out at what point you run
out of elevator authority thats all right I suppose.
That is the whole purpose of testing to find the aft and forward CG limits,
You find where the elevator is no longer effective.
>>>>Having established that you have to approach at 100 mph to enable you to
flare if you have 56lbs of
weight in the nose, then what?
This is not how it is done. First you have to find what the power-off stall
speed is and determine what the fastest speed acceptable to you is for a
lift-off speed, typically 1.2 to 1.3 Vso. If you can't get the airplane in
the air with full elevator travel before that speed, you have to decrease
the added weight in the nose to a point where you can lift the nose. The
hole point of finding the forward CG limit is so you don't have to fly an
approach at 100 mph, but I would rather look at it as not having to
accelerate to 100 mph before I can get airborne.
>>>>Its not something that you are likely to want to do. I hope.
Done correctly, it is safe and you find out what your airplanes limits are.
Don't just use the numbers from a kit manufacturer blindly. I have
determined that my Kolbra CG range is 28% to 38% of wing Mean Cord of 58.34
inches. This is different from what you find in the Kolbra construction
manual of 25% to 35% in one location and 20% to 35% in another location. If
I used the book numbers I would have been in the 100 mph lift off and
approach modes.

Hi Jeremy/Guys,
I said I had to put 16 lbs in the nose for the
first flight and from then on I'm having to explain that my plane ISN"T
tailheavy..... I'm in the Aft range of the CG , but from what I've read
on "the list" so are alot of Kolb owners...Nothing wrong with it...
<snip>
Hey Mike,
Your first message on the subject misconstrued the terms of "CG" and
"noseover" and your "huffy" about having to keep explaining your
troubles? Remember bud, everyone doesn't read this list in "REAL" time,
some of us read it a bit delayed...
One of your messages states you are building your training wheel but,
and I copy from your previous message...
" Now , on to WHY the front half of the CG range for the "FIRST"
flight.....
First of all , I haven't gotten to the point where an inspector has
looked at my plane.....
I've still been getting my paperwork to pass FAA
Remember when I said my FAA guy was a REAL #&%$@"
...sounds like you didn't know why AC90-89A says what it says and I
politely explained it!!! And even agreed with you that your inspector
was being..."difficult"
Anyway...sounds like you got it all figured out...except that Mrs.
Congeniality award.
...some dad-gum manners go a long way buddy!!!
Happy friggin' first flight and I hope you keep the nose off the ground.

Hi Kirk,
The aft CG was determined the same way only the weight was added at the back
of the boom tube. I used SCUBA weight belt weights and securely strapped
them on the bottom of the tube.
It was not very fun at when I found the aft limit. I had to use the engine
rpm to get out of the stall since the elevator was up against the stop.

Mike:
With that new super size Nose Skid Hoop, you might be able to reduce that
16.5#'s you were going to put up front by about 10#'s.

Thanks Richard. If you say it's true then I believe it. I placed a piece
of 1 1/4" steel angle mounted under the rear engine attach bolts and the
other side presses tightly against the back if the main bracket and it is a
higher contact point to help support the top portion of the bracket. I
didn't attach it to the bracket cause I didn't want to be drilling holes.
Ever have any trouble with the bearings in the large pulley?
Thanks,

learned that if you spin it in front of a crowd, just go around a couple
more times and act like you are showing off. Gotta save face the best you
can.
-----------------
That's a good idea, but sad you've had to perfect this technique. I only
put about 60 hours on my original SS, but never had it nose over, or "ground
loop".
I did install the full swivel tail wheel after about the first 20-30 hours,
and had some entertaining problems with that. Usually, you install a full
swivel such that it still allows full rudder travel before breaking free.
The SS geometry didn't allow that, so I figured I'd just have to live with
it. On the first few flights, everything went fine, right up until I was
turning off the runway, then around it would go. Of course I was only doing
about 5 mph, so no big deal, but it was pretty entertaining to the folks at
the grass strip where I was based :-)
FWIW, I plan to make the current SS immune to this silliness.
Cheers,
Rusty

Dale,
I had no problems with the redrive in the 50hrs I used it. I put a
Rotax B drive on the Cuyuna to swing a 60" prop & sold the poly-V.

I have 6.00 x 6 x 17" tires on my Mark II. I'm interested in finding some
wheel pants that will work with these size wheels. Anyone on the List got a
pair they're looking to sell?

Hey Rusty,
I've had enough humility building with that stupid wheel. Too many
times at public airports if I put too much rudder input on the ground, I'd
just turn & helplessly turn in circles, mostly this happened as I would line
up for take-off in a stiff cross wind. Before she flies again I aim to fix
that full swivel break away. I haven't taken it apart yet, if you or others
have the fix already, how about saving us some embarrassment?
Regarding the longer nose cone installation, I just drilled through
the old rivet holes & up thru the top of the tube on both cross over tubes,
put the nose cone on, & drilled back down thru the top & on thru the nose
cone with a 0.039" bit, then bolted it with #6 stainless bolts. I used #6-32
bolts for the top/sides as well with a aluminum backing plate on the
fiberglass. Now I can take the nose cone off easily. I have a 13 lb battery
mounted in front & had to raise the rudder return spring support to clear
battery. Next I will be remaking a swing down instrument panel that sticks
out about 5" closer to pilot. Then I need to install crank scraper; wire
harness for engine management computers install
intercoolers & same for radiator. That
should get me close to flying again. I still have a couple months of
recertification for the new federal standards for teachers, then I should be
able to start on my neglected ugly duckling. ...Richard Swiderski

| Subject: | Re: Q (CB antenna for aircraft use) |
--> Kolb-List message posted by: The Kuffels <kuffel@cyberport.net>
<<<problem with this practice
<<A CB radio oscillates at 27,000,000 cycles per second. An
aircraft radio oscillates at over 120,000,000 .. cut the antenna
to the proper length .. If it's wrong the energy .. will damage
the amplifier in the radio.>>>
As always, things are a little more complex than anticipated.
This type of antenna is called a quarter-wave whip. It is half
of a Half-wave dipole with the missing half (quarter) created by
a mirror effect (the ground plane). It turns out, if this type
of antenna is resonant (fancy way of saying works well) at
frequency "f" then it also works at "three f" and "five f" and
"seven f" and so on. Now five times the CB frequency of 27MHz is
135MHz which is in the aircraft communication band. In other
words, it is not surprising if a CB antenna works well with an
aircraft comm radio.
Still, I would go with the Radio shack $10 homebuilt antenna or
Boyd Young's coaxial dipole. Forgot to mention to Boyd about a
possible improvement to his antenna which can be terms the
vertical coaxial dipole. Strip a whole bunch of outer insulation
off the end of your coax. Fold the outer flexible shield over
the coax to form an inline dipole (half the shield and half the
just exposed inner conductor. Trim the conductor and shield in
quarter inch lengths for best (lowest) SWR. This last step might
get tricky because of the different velocity factors between the
inner conductor and exposed braid. Sounds like a perfect Ham
radio project.

Just finished a nice visit with Silent Lar yesterday (thanks for
the fun hosting). He is having trouble with his internet
connection which is why (among other reasons, such as shear
modesty) he hasn't been visiting much. When we left he hoped to
be back online by Monday bu isn't holding his breath. When he
does, he'll have a fun time getting caught up.
