Stupid question can I fly the amphib as a land plane as long as I don't land on
water without a seaplane rating?
My plan is to get the plane finished fly the 40 hours off before getting my
sea plane rating in the Kolb.

Hi Rick,
If I'm not mistaken, you can fly the plane on land or water, as long as
you're solo, which you will certainly be for the first 40 hours. In fact, I
would think that an amphibian would have to be tested on land and water to
complete the phase 1 flight test period.
In the past, I believe you could have flown this with passengers also, but
the recent rule changes now require a signoff of some type to prove you are
competent in that particular aircraft. With a seaplane rating, you could
fly any single engine seaplane, but with the "signoff", you could only fly
your Kolb.
That's how I understand it anyway, but then I have only single place planes,
so what do I know about carrying passengers :-)
Cheers,
Rusty

BB and Kolbers ,
Does this mean I get to see the new Kolb soon or will the degreasing be
a while ? Glad to hear there was no big problem !....I imagine you need to fly
off some time before you can go anywhere....too bad cause Pine Hill has their
breakfast this Sunday and we are planning on a few UL's doing some demo's ...
Gaines Valley is planning on a Flea market on Saturday also .....
I flew the Ultrastar after decarboning and it was much better and smoother....temps
were down ...starts easy now. I am going to try some Interlube Opti-2
oil instead of the 40-1 Pennzoil in the Cuyuna and see if the carbon returns
....as per advice from fellow Kolbers and my parts supplier....
Sorry to hear Tom Olenik is quiting. The short time I have been into Kolbs
and 2 stroke engines , I have only heard good things about his work...Had
a couple of his engines and benefited from his advice on the list...UAV's are
the future...smart move , Tom !

Yes, you can. Besides the obvious (not landing on water), I think the
letter of the law says that you cannot change the configuration while in
flight, i.e., no pulling up the wheels... leave the wheels down and don't
touch the lever. If you leave them down, and don't touch the lever, there
will be no chance of you landing on land with wheels up.

Group,
This morning I changed the jets in my 503 and took a test flight. I am
trying to improve the high density altitude ability of my Firestar II,
here in Arizona. On a recent cross-country, I averaged 4.3 gph and had
to abort one take-off run because the engine ran rich. I changed the
standard 158 main jets (dual carbs), and lowered the needles one notch,
so that the clips are at the top. Test flight was at 65 degrees and the
airport altitude is 1200. The engine performed strongly and the EIS
didn't indicate excessive temperatures. At cruise, I was seeing about
1120 EGT, and about 1080 at full power. This is actually closer to
ideal than I was seeing with stock jets.
So, the question is: Why did it take me years to discover there was
room for improvement? I think that the dual ignition does such a good
job that I never realized how rich it had been running. I used to run
the needle a notch lower in the summer on my 377 Firestar, so that it
would be less likely to 4 cycle after a long decent.
Tomorrow, I'll be traveling over 200 miles, so I should get an idea if
my fuel burn has improved.

Hi John J/Gang:
Amazing how the "X/C" bug gets ya, once you take the first step. Hope
you have a perfect flight tomorrow!
Was about to push the PTT button, 5 miles east of Monument Valley,
Utah, when I heard a FS call 5 or 10 "miles to the south, inbound for
landing, Monument Valley." It was John J arriving from Arizona at the
same time I was arriving from Alabama. A special moment. I am always
amazed and impressed on where these little Kolb airplanes will and do
take us.
Got some pictures to post as soon as I can find a minute to upload
them. Some very special pictures from Larry Cottrell I just received.
I'll get permission from Larry before I upload to my index page.
Take care,
john h

Hello Gang,
A friend of mine has a 582 on his plane and he asked me what you do when you
go from home base and have to use aviation fuel. I'm sure you can use it but
is the oil mix the same? I told him I would get a good answer for I know you guys
know. Also what type of oil do most of you use.
Thanks

Yeah, Lar, it is a real good idea and works jess fine, thankewe. But I
can't take credit for it since Eric Weaver was the one who I got it from.
But it just goes to show ya that we get real good ideas from the list and
from each other. I also am indebted to John H. and ? for embarrasing me.
They found three "gigs" on my Mk III. I 'spect I'd have found two of them
on preflight, but the third ????? I know that some folks get upset if you
point out something wrong on their "baby", but I'd rather be embarrassed on
the ground than in the hospital.

Use avgas when you need to and don't worry about it, mix it 50:1 like
always. (Carry a spare set of plugs with you just in case, it is dirtier
than mogas)
Most people use Pennzoil but I have always used Phillip Injex with good
results.
