Attention PA/NJ Kolbers - There will be a Fly-In Breakfast on Sat. June 4th (rain
date June 5th) at Flying M Aerodrome (P91), which is NW of Allentown, PA.
This airport used to be known for great family fly-in breakfasts dinners in years
past, but has been pretty quite recently due to a change of ownership. They're
trying to bring things back to the way they were. It may take a while, but
they've got to start somewhere. Unfortunately, this is the same weekend as
the WWII event at Reading Airport, but you could always do both. Besides, I don't
think there'll be too many Kolbs sharing the pattern with P-47's B-17's.The
airport is a 2400' East-West grass runway. The cost is $5 - all you can eat.
The time is 8am to Noon. The place has been a ghost-town over recent years,
but it's starting to come back - slowly. It breaks my heart. I used to instruct
tow gliders there. It was a great scenic place with a ton of potential. We'll
see what happens. My Firefly will
be there in pieces. The build process (or re-build as it were) is moving along
slowly. Sure would be nice to see some local Kolbs show up!!Bob PongraczFogelsville,

Hey Kolb Guys, No reason we shouldn't get first shot at this. At the airport
today I ran across a fellow who has a 0 timed Rev Master VW conversion engine
for sale. All he could tell me is that it is a 4 cylinder, 75 HP, with mag or
mags, elect start and an oil filter. It was purchased for a Var Easy kit which
is not completed. Price of engine is $5000.00. It is located in PA. not
far from Harrisburg at Indiantown Gap. The Var Easy is also for sale but not
Kolb related If anyone is interested email me off list and I will get you together
with him.

Dan/All
The Rev Master VW is a great engine but it is a direct drive engine. As I
have said many times the direct drive VWs just doesn't have enough thrust
for Kolbs. You can't mount the Valley reduction drive on these engines. Also
as I found out at Sun-N-Fun direct drive engines are configured as pushers
or tractors. If you run a engine that is built to handle the thrust loads
for a tractor and put it on a plane were you use it as a pusher you will
likely have bearing problems.
