Topher,
This is a lot lighter and better. You have seen it at Osceola. The annual Osceola

Anybody ever tried this windscreen trim used in motorcycles... might be
useful for the short windscreens. They also have little windscreen bits
called wings, and winglets that stick on the edge of the windscreen to
extend it a bit. Kind of interesting.

Yesterday I was able to make a good puller for the mag end of the UL202
and had in off in minutes ....examined the bearings and they all are OK....I even
see no problem with the bearing surface on the rod except slight discoloration...very
tempting to clean and reassemble but will get the advice of the supplier
in Illinois first. The rod end is my concern.....it mics up perfect ...
Very tempting to reassemble but after hearing a lot of 2 stroke stories
, I think I will defer to the "experts"...what do you think guys ?

--> Kolb-List message posted by: Charles Blackwell <wozani@optonline.net>
Found this directive notice that applies to anyone running Rotax 912, and
914 engines:
ROTAX OWNERS CAUTIONED ABOUT USING IMPROPER COOLANT
The FAA has issued a special airworthiness information bulletin (SAIB)
to alert owners and operators of Bombardier-Rotax 912 A, 912 F, 912 S,
and 914 F series engines about using the proper type of coolant. Using
the improper type of coolant can result in a loss of coolant and
overheating when the engine is operated at cylinder head temperatures
above 120 C, said the FAA. The affected engines are installed on
certificated airplanes like the Diamond DA-20 and on many experimental
and light sport airplanes. For complete information, download the SAIB
( http://download.aopa.org/epilot/2005/saibne0584.pdf ).
Hope it helps

I would prefer to think of it as an easy turn to avoid landing
50 ft' up in a tree.
Got into a mush, kept cross checking the

. I also did the same at sun and fun in an Ultra star but the opposite. I
got on the wrong side of the power curve on take off. That was scary very
sloppy control input and seemed to be just hanging on the prop.
Sounds like my deadstick problem allright.
This is why we encourage folks to be

It was a decision I had to make at the time and no time for a
second guess.

My Twinstar seemed to fly the same if the engine was turning or not.
It has just occured to me that this was my first quiet flight in a MK3

I took out about 30 ft of tall corn which probably took some
of the impact. The scary part is that I did not damage the landing gear.

I don't fly a Kolb either but I am sticking around for a bit. How bad is
the cage? Any competant old time welder should be able to get it back into
prime shape at little cost and as strong as new. The 6" 6063 irrigation
tube should be easy to find also.

Hay woody,
glad you are not too worse for wear.
Do you think the corn pitched you nose down enough to make the primary
impact the nose, leaving the gear off the ground till most of the energy was
used up crunching the cage? Or were you coming in nose low before you hit
the corn... if you took out thirty feet of corn I would think that you were
still traveling significantly horizontal. Say 6 foot of corn over thirty
feet gives about an 11 degree approach angle... not super steep but lots
more then the 3 degree ideal. If any of your buddies could measure the
distance from corn impact to ground impact and the height of the corn you
would get a better guess at it.
Hope you get yourself back together soon.

I just got home from gas hunting..No luck.I have about

for two more trips to work and back .Then i'll buy me
a shwinn bike. :-/
Now there is a NUMBER of great folks.Everyone except
those few bastards luders(spell) are holding up
together.Helping out each other.Companies open doors
for people.Distributing ice and drinking water for
free..The only problem is that we have no gas around
here to drive and take chance for it.However we are
here are high spirited.We got through the storm with
minimal damage here .Got power back so we re cool.No
water or gas is ok...Hopefully soon we'll get some.
Now In new orleans few folks (watching here on TV) are
screaming "take us out,WE WANT OUT" Then walmart
burgluries.Heared on radio they were breaking in
hospitals looking for drugs.Hell here on CNN i saw a
dude running with about three dozens of fishing
poles.Those assholes(excuse my french) were warned and
asked to move out.Instread they chosen to ride it
out.Then they chose to break in the stores and steal
stuff even if they don't really need 6 pairs of jeans
or riding lawnmower(sae on CNN boy pushing it out of
store)
Then they choose to shoot up the helicopter that was
rescuing folks.
Then they acuse government because it's easier to
blame uncle sam then do something for your own good.
It's just a type of people.Makes me sick and
disgusted.Let me tell you,I saw a tramendous help from
government and other folks.People helping each other
and this is a bottom line.We'll get through it only
working together.Now acusing sam or each other.
Peace out...
Shaken but not stirred,

Thank you all for such a warm welcome.
Wow your really into your Rotax 447. LOL
The engine on my Firestar is a Rotax 377 that was
redone by Danny Day. It has a CDI ignition and
only has 90 hours on it. The guy that had the Firestar
before me kept a log for the engine, airframe and prop.
HMMM I always have a hard time sleeping maybe
I will try counting Rotax 377s.
Thanks again everyone for such a nice welcome.
