My FS 2 stalls between 30 and 35. Minimum sink speed is about 38, and best glide
(also best climb speed) is about 44. That's all in mph - not knots.
Depending on your static port position, there can be considerable airspeed indicator
error. When I did my test flights, I temporarily mounted a Hall meter as
a cross check.
On the first flight before shooting any landings, do a few stalls and note the
speed. For landing approach speed, multiply the stall speed by 1.5 for smooth
air approaches. If it's gusty, add the amount of the gusts up to 10 mph. IE
a 30 mph stall - smooth air approach at 45 mph.

Hi Mike,
like you I am an ex glider pilot and I reckon that brakes are better than
flaps any day. Particularly as they are usually speed limiting and if you
are really in trouble you can open the brakes and be sure that you wont dive
your wings off.
Unfortunately one hand on the stick, one on the brakes and one for the
throttle makes things difficult flying power..
Flapperons combine the ailerons and the flaps in one flying surface. When
you drop the flaps both ailerons droop but continue to operate.On my
Challenger, which has the same arrangement this changes the trim
considerably.
No doubt someone on the list can tell you if the same thing happens with the
Kolb.
Cheers
Pat

Those planes didn't have any flaps or flapperons, I'm sure
that's why you can't find them.
Better check the rivets in the wings if you haven't already.

List,
I've developed a symptom with my 503 SCSI with 250 hours.
after having the throttle set in any postion above idle, when I bring the throttle
back to idle, it takes awhile for the throttle to respond, as if the cable
itself is sticking in it's housing. I don't want to tear it down until I have
as many ideas about it as I can get from you guys. My logic here is that this
might be one of those things that lot's of people have experienced in the past
and that knowlege could save me countless hours of piddling with it. Thanks
in advance for any help you can give me.

They make a cable lubricant kit that will lubricate your cables on the
airplane. I got mine at a motorcycle shop. If it is sticking cables this
product should help.

I would pull the cable water may have gotten in the cable housing
& settled to the lowest point & has started rusting through, causing a weak
spot. Happened to a friend's FS II, water got in from washing his plane.

Denny,
Seems like we are the only two using the Balancer Masters. Glad to hear
that you think
they make a difference too. I do know that Rotax uses them on the
magneto end of the
larger 2 cycle models they make, Call them hydro dampeners, so there
must be something
to the effectiveness. I use both prop and magneto end on my 447.
Thanks for the reply,

Steve,
The prop balancer should fit any standard prop flange. It has slotted holes to
accommodate different dia.
The magneto end pulley type are only for Rotax as far as I have seen. You want
to go
to their web page and check them out.

--> Kolb-List message posted by: N27SB@aol.com
To All,
Just got done tracking liability insurance for ultralights. Seems like the
only option I could find was through USUA. www.usua.org They require that your
ul be registered with an entity like EAA or others, you have an endorsement
from a BFI (even if you have a private ticket) and you are a member of USUA.
Cost for a Firefly is $375.00 This was a question posed last year but was not
resolved. This is for true ultralights
without an N number.
Hope this helps someone.

My engine is a 2SI 690 which is a big liquid cooled Cuyuna, as long as yours
has the 6 bolt prop hub the Balance Master will fit the prop end.
I doubt they have one for your flywheel though. If you have an old Cuyuna
four bolt prop flange, you are out of luck.

Remove the air filter so you can observe the carburator slide. With the
engine not running, operate the throttle lever and watch the action of the slide
go up and down. If the slide does not return smoothly to its lowest position
when the throttle is retarded, then either the cable or the carburator slide is
sticking. As someone else pointed out, you can lube the cable (or get a new
one). If the slide itself is sticking, then perhaps dirt has gotten in there.
Remove it and inspect both the slide and the inside of the carburator body
for scuffing. You might be able to clean it up with fine emery cloth. Also
check the carb slide return spring to be sure it is functioning properly.

Gang:
I usually pull the cable from the housing prior to fitting to the
airplane. Grease it up with some high quality lube and stick it back
in the housing.
Rick Neilsen's method of using a cable lubricator works too. They are
cheap and readily available on line or in motorcycle shops.
Have had the cables on the MKIII for a pretty good while now, since
the last time I changed them out. Very difficult to predict time
before failure. With the 912/912ULS configured in the normal manner,
the throttle should go to full open should the cable break. That is
better than being stuck over a red wood forrest at idle with no
throttle change in sight.

--> Kolb-List message posted by: "b young" <by0ung@brigham.net>
As another note of trivia, the RV spring looks to be about 5/8" (steel)
where the SS spring is 3/4" (aluminum). The RV tailwheels are less than
half the price of the "homebuilder special" wheels that Spruce sells, but
I'm not sure if there's enough meat on it to bore it out safely for the 3/4"
spring. The RV wheel assembly is all steel, where the Spruce assembly is
aluminum. The tailwheel on the current SS is sick, so it's going to need
some work, or more likely replacement with a Van's wheel.
this is the information i recieved from vans
The tail spring rod is .875"at the mount end and .635 at the wheel
end. The full swivel kit noes not include the wheel, axle bolt, or
springs & chains.
i think the best way to adapt the wheel to the 3/4 alum rod is to have the alum
rod cut down on a lathe.... you would want to put on an inch or so taper then
go straight into the vans tailwheel.
or i guess you could cut the 7/8 steel rod down to 3/4 and use it.

If you do have a throttle cable that is sticking, there is a product called "Dry
Slide" that works well. I've used it on the US, lawn mowers and anything else
that has a control cable. I have a VW trike that I built twenty-five years
ago. The wife and I still ride from time to time . It has a throttle cable
about 12 feet long and it tends to get sticky. The product is available at motorcycle
shops and it is a fine grafite particulate suspented in a liquid that
evaporates quickly. I can take the cable on the trike loose at the handle bars
and start to squirt the dry slide in the cable housing with the cable in it
and within 30 to 45 seconds it will start to drip out at the carb. Frees it
right up.

I tend to disagree! I do not know any of you personally but generally
I find you all reasonably respectfull and polite. And yes sometimes

Please forgive me if I miss the sublile details in which you put each
other down. Usually I speak Dutch (which is a kind of German but sounds
like you allmost throw up) so I might miss out on some war of words.
But honest, I do think builing a plane - like you all did - does
wonderfull things to characters. It is really not that bad over here.
So take a beer, wait for spring and then go flying. I like your

Spring is almost here Kolbers and Kolbettes....
Spring cures 99.5 % of this name-calling mess, and spring is almost here....
We all need to go outside and walk around some on the first pretty day....
stare at the sky... take deep breaths....
Everyone on here has, or wants, a Kolb... knows something the others don't
know... and can contribute to the greater good.
If you really want to see some really petty, low-class, chrome-plated hell,
as Pollus says, just get on the other lists and watch the poison flow....It
is corrosive and utterly destroys lists, thus robbing serious and sincere
folks of the value of such. Been on this Kolb thing about 6 years... So
far, I think this list has, overall, managed to keep its nostrils well above
the slime level... IMHO, would be a good thing for all of us if we could
keep it that way. This list is uniquely valuable.
Furthermore, I think we oughta vote Pollus honorary President of the List...
anyone who advises to "take a beer, wait for spring and then go flying" is
my kind of guy....
As the old saying goes, remember, "we ain't much, but we're all we got..."
If we foul this bed, we're going to have to sleep in it...

Hi Folks:
Talked to Homer Kolb tonight. He is doing well. Said he would try to
make Lakeland this year and the Monument Valley Flyin is he can. He
is very busy trying to get Marcus, his Son, squared away in the old
barn with his business. If he can break away he will be at Lakeland
and MV. He is looking forward to those two gatherings and especially
the Fathers Day Flyin at the Kolb Farm in June.
While getting some url's for Homer I ran across this picture from last
summer:
Over the Columbia Icefield, north of Valdez, Alaska, July 2004. Shot
from a 1992 Kolb MKIII powered by a Rotax 912ULS:

as the little Rotax kept turning.

Hi Boyd,
I do have a new spring for the SS, but since it's aluminum, I'd be afraid to
cut the diameter down to small enough to fit the Van's tailwheel. Cutting
the steel spring down to 7/8 is probably the best plan. Fortunately, I have
a lathe :-)
Cheers,

Rusty/Gang:
I have an airplane that has a lot of weight on the tailwheel. A
little more than the SS. I use 3/4" X .120 4130 heat treated to 48RC.
Cut it just long enough for 5 or 6 inches to be protruding from the
end of the tail post socket to the edge of the tailwheel spring mount
on the Maule tailwheel. Haven't worn one out yet. If you are
interested you can contact me bc and I can give you more of the little

You, or the plane :-)
I knew there were folks using the 3/4" steel spring, but I doubt I'll need
anything that extreme. I'll probably end up with the Van's steel spring and
tailwheel. The single rotor will be heavier than a 912, but I'll have a BRS
under the front seat for ballast. I also won't have a rear passenger, or
enough baggage to go to Alaska :-)

Hi Everyone,
New Kolb pilot in Tucson, Az. I just purchased a Kolb Mark III classic with a 912S.
I have been reading the messages over the last few weeks and some are very
helpful. Thanks to all for posting their experiences. Next I just read about
the Monument Valley Fly In. I would love to come up and fly with everyone. Would
you be so kind as to tell me the dates and place of the Fly In.

classic with a 912S. | Roger Lee
Hi Roger/Gang:
Welcome aboard.
You have chosen a nice airplane, I am sure.
Your Kolb MK III Classic can afford you vistas that few others will
ever enjoy. Here's Denali (Mt McKinley, highest point of the North
American Continent, 20,320 feet ASL) as viewed out the windscreen of
my MKIII Classic. After three flights and one trip by land, I finally
got a good look at THE Mountain.
Our Third Annual Monument Valley Unorganized/Unplanned Kolbe Flyin is
scheduled for the weekend of 20, 21, 22 May 2005, at Gouldings, MV,
UT. Some of us may get there earlier than 20 May. All depends on
wind, weather, and whims. We have had exceptional flyins in the past.
Some of the best folks ever gathered in one spot in the middle of the
desert. Would never trade my experiences from those first two flyins.
Looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones. We fly,
talk, eat, talk, sit around and talk until our jaws get tired.
Hope to see you there.

--> Kolb-List message posted by: "Jerry Curtin" <jcurtin@cableone.net>
Hello to all.
I have a throttle quadrant that was made by a friend of the man I bought my
plane from. It is really nice and built well. It has a single lever with two
cables and goes to both carbs. I am not used to this set up as my last Kolb
had a 377 on it with a single carb. My question is where to get new cables
when I install the 503 on the Firestar as this set up was for another plane?
HELP! Jerry

Call Travis Brown at The New Kolb Aircraft. He'll fix you right up.
I always use Kolb supplied cables on my MKIII.

flight. What

hostile

would be

Hi Jerry/All:
Caught me just as I was shutting down and heading for the sack.
Thanks, wish it had not been so smoky that particular day. There were
many forrest fires in Canada and Alaska. Some places the vis was down
to nearly zero. Thus, a lot of my flights had to be planned around
them.
Wow! Hard question to answer. Before I head out into terrain similar
to that around McKinley, I have to accept the fact that if the engine
quits, I will probably die. Don't take me wrong though. I won't sit
back cross my arms and wait for impact. I'll do everything in my
power to fly the airplane until it finishes crashing. Flying over
water up there was a given. Hit the water and a few minutes later, if
I don't drown, I'll die of hypothermia. I probably flew more
aggressively, as far as terrain and water flown over, than any other
flight. The Rotax 912ULS has performed flawlessly and had well over
900 hours on the engine when I made this flight. Aircraft had over
2,000.
How do I feel crossing such terrain? Scared at times, excited,
exhilarated, adrenaline pumping, euphoric, and terribly pleased of
being there at that moment in a little homebuilt airplane that was
designed by Homer Kolb. The MKIII Classic is one of the, if not the
best aircraft Homer designed. It certainly satisfies all my flying
requirements.
I like this shot of approaching Stewart, BC:

Take care,
