I still have a rebuilt original firestar cage for

Woody,
We are fitting Jabs as standard to UK Kolbs, We have found that the GT prop
62inch gives good performance, max RPM 2900, and the Prince P-Tip 62/37
gives 3100 WOT in level flight, this prop gives the best all round
performance in my view.
The engine I have is #1894 which is 85hp.
Very happy with Jab.
Mike

Static RPM should be the same no matter what airframe or no airframe is
holding it. Streamlining will have its major effect on airspeed not engine
speed. The prop may not seem big but this is designed for direct drive and a
different set of rules apply for picking the prop. Perhaps I should put a
warp drive on it for a test. I forgot I had one for this engine. Egt is a
good instrument for diagnosis of a problem but not an instrument to fly by.
I like to know what is going on in my engine and have the option of choosing
what I want to do. Just a personal preference.

--> Kolb-List message posted by: "John Williamson" <kolbrapilot2@comcast.net>
Woody and All,
I have over 500 hours in front of a Jabiru 2200 on the Kolbra.
With a 58", 2 blade standard Warp drive, I set the prop pitch to give me
2900 rpm static which would give me 3300 full throttle, straight and level.
The airframe will make a big difference in the speed you get so don't expect
the 102 mph that I was able to get with the Kolbra, flat out.
I did try a 68", 2 blade tapered tip Warp Drive just before I removed the
Jabiru. I set the pitch to get 3300 rpm at full throttle, straight and
level. At the same rpm as the 58" prop, I was able to get one or two more
mph.
Great little engine, but was always running up against the CHT limits. I
also monitored one front and one rear cylinder with EGT on an EIS. EGT's
varied from front to rear because of uneven cooling. Once in a while I would
get close to an EGT limit, only thing you can do is throttle way make or go
full power to get the mixture as rich as possible.

Dennis --
On Mar 12, 1998, you made a Kolb list post about your experiments with the
HKS engine on a Slingshot. It's been 7 years and I'm wondering if you have
any new info/opinions about the current run of HKS engines on the Slingshot
or Firestar II?

Forgive this for being a little off Kolb topic...(!) .. but I wanted to announce that any aviator that didnt have a chance to make it to Sun n Fun last spring has another chance to experience it vicariously thru a DVD video that was just completed. It is of different format than the one I made last year - this one covers all areas of the show rather than just the ultralight field. Lots of pictures from the video are displayed at www.HomebuiltHELP.com Also, the price is only $10 this time due to economies of volume!
Thanks to all,
Jon
Firestar sold, awaiting pickup by new owner.
Zenith CH701 almost done.
