Benny, rather than reinventing the wheel see Barnstormers.com - don't need
to join another group - also well visited site. You can buy & sell planes
and stuff there. I can attest that it does work.

Oh mercy, it goes on and on. Brother Pike, I truly didn't
notice..........how can I pay penance ??
Back home from vacation in COOL British Columbia now, and am faced with the
summer monsoons that seem worse than usual. No work on nada, you bet. I
swear, ya take 3 deep breaths in a row out there, and you'll need CPR to
drain yer lungs. Pheee-eeew. Deserts are s'posed to be DRY ! ! ! This one
ain't learned yet.
Now Vamoose (papoose ?? C'mon, BB) :-) has more competition, as if the boat
and the Baja Bug weren't enuf. I'm in the process of buying a V8 powered
Model A Tudor Sedan that I found while on vacation, and will go pick it up
in a couple of weeks. Just think - a whole new source of excuses.

Hi Gang
Just got back from the EAA Oshkosh!
On Thursday, I was at the Kolb trailer and I spoke with Dick, about his engine
out.
Dick is very thankful there was a place to land the plane and there was very little
damage to the plane.
The "unofficial" word so far is:
It may have been the
Rust on the crank shaft, somehow causing a bearing failure which jammed the
piston.
They think the plane has not been flown enough; which could be the problem.
They also recommend running your engine at least once a month to keep it lubricated.
P.S. My wife Anna is really excited because she met Burt Rutan, and he autographed
her "Tilley" hat!
Both the Virgin Atlantic and the SpaceShip One are on display. They were going
to fly the SpaceShip One on Friday but now it has been changed to Saturday.

Janey --
I've stopped in at Cherokee County Airport
(http://www.airnav.com/airport/KJSO), which is just south of Jacksonville,
Texas... it's up on a hill and was pretty windy when I was there, but very
nice. (You can read my story about ferrying a plane from Minnesota to
Houston here: http://www.texas-flyer.com/Minnesota/ That's where I flew
into Cherokee County.) It's a very pretty part of Texas and lots to see
for an ultralight. It's a bit too far for me to make a one-day trip, though.
North of Jacksonville, there is Tarrant Field
(http://www.airnav.com/airport/6X0) which is a turf runway, and he'd be
more likely to find ultralights there.

Kolbers and Kolbettes...
A perplexed and humble Beauford addresses you this evening...
Following decarboning and reassembly of the 447's top end, flew it for 45 minutes
last weekend...
CHT's were 340 to 360.... EGT's normal... below 1100...
This morning I flew it for a second time... On takeoff, CHT's were immediately
about 40 degrees hotter than last flight. Circled
over the airstrip at 5800 RPM for 10 minutes... both CHT's stabilized at 385 to
390... Landed.
Tomorrow, I tear the top back off the engine...
To my non-educated Rotax eye, it appears that the rings are stuck again. They
were clean and the ring grooves
were clean when I put it back together. All 4 rings are installed right-side-up.
Heads and cylinders were assembled
with new gaskets and torqued properly. Any of you experienced 2- stroke Rotaxers
out there have any suggestions as to what might be going on here?

--> Kolb-List message posted by: "John Williamson" <kolbrapilot2@comcast.net>
I have pitched the Warp Drive prop on the Kolbra to give me 5500 rpm at full
throttle (aviation term).
The static rpm will depend on the diameter of the prop you have.
At 5500 rpm I get 96 knots on a nice smooth day. That equates to over 6
gallons an hour, so I don't stay their long!
I normally cruise at 4900 rpm which gives me 80 knots. This is about 4.8
gallons per hour.

Hi Roger and All,
For the folks that don't know Roger, he has a beautiful FireStar painted Cub
Yellow.
Great report Roger!
I know the flying and scenery is great in Oregon and a lot of places
elsewhere in this country, so where is the rest of the flying stories from
you Kolb aviators?
Thanks Roger.

Not to offend you or anyone at the group,
Beauford,
The best bet would be at my opinion get a four stroke
.
I know i am new to the ultralights but i an not new to
the engines.Two strokes ,even though lighter at my
opinion are less dependable.You might run two stroke
for a long time and it would run like a champ then
suddenly die while 4stroke will cough up and choke up
but continue to run.....
Thats me:)

Mitty... No offense taken, Pardner...
Depending on what I find when I tear this Rotax down again tomorrow, I
may go for four strokes right away... on my head with the biggest
greasy ball-peen hammer I can find...
Thanks for the input.

all the trouble with 2 strokes,,but wayyy' back in the mid-late 60's i had a
little yamaha motorcycle 2 stroke with an oil tank,,put close to 8,000 on it
lots of miles back then never had any problems at all ,,and ran the crap
outta' it then in early 70's got into motocross, ran a 125-and 250 REALLY
hard and abused the shit out of them, only blew one up once, broke a piston
skirt, so why is it that around 35 years later we still have problems with a
2 stroke??

September 17 will be a local fly-in at Hensley Memorial Airpark, which is
about ten miles south of Greenville, TN. There will be a about three Kolbs
and a bunch of other homebuilts and etc, the burgers will be good, and we
can go barnstorming around to several good little strips in the local area.

Need more data -
What is your normal cruise RPM?
What is your normal full throttle climb rpm?
You refer to being over the airport at 5800 rpm - was that in a climb?
Before you tear the top off the engine, pull the exhaust manifold off and
attempt to depress the rings with a plastic or wooden probe. If they go in
and out and you can see oil movement as you move them, they aren't stuck.
Did you chafe the CHT wires during the recent surgery?
Not real up on the 447, but can the magneto timing move?
All I can think of at the moment...

I machined a notch (same width as the diameter of the wing pin) in the bottom of
the tab. Put the wing pins in the fuselage fitting without the safety. Walk
the wing around and rotate to horizontal. Drop the notch onto the wing pin
and lay the wing tip on a piece of foam or carpet. Support the front of the wing
root and pull the wing pin. Lower the root until the hole in the tab lines
up, and insert the wing pin (safety this time). Walk to the wing tip and pick
it up. Support it by the leading edge and walk to the wing strut fitting.
Hook the end of the strut with your foot and lift it until you can grab it.
Insert the pin. You don't need wing stands if you use this method.

"Has anyone on the list Got an extra IVO prop spacer plate they would sell ?
if so I am looking for one, or if You know how long it should be could you let
me know I can build one if I know what the length needs to be for an Original
Firestar and any other info I would need when I machine it out
I just purchased a new prop from a guy on ebay and I think he is trying to
shaft me on the spacer what is it really worth ?"
I just had a 2.75 inch extension machined for my Firestar with a 503 B Box. The
prop is a Powerfin. It cost me $260.00 with shipping (Wow!). Saber Engineering
makes them - did a good job.

Mechanical problem at all???
I would think a lean run condition at some point...
Starvation for a fuel..
If it's a dual carb engine and one head runs hotter
then other i would most definately suspect a lean
mixture instead of mechanical problem.If it's a single
carb engine lean mixture would of affected both
cylinders.
Look for a trash in the fuel tank/line /filter.
Loose carburetor mounting bolts where it could suck up
some air
loose intake bolts somewhere.
However ,like i said if it's a single carb then both
of them would run lean.
