    --> Kolb-List message posted by: N27SB@aol.com The Seaplane subject got me going. We have a place about 50 yds from a sheltered cove on Lake Lanier. Has anyone ever heard of floats on a US? Someone said that the prop might get hit by spray from the floats, not good. Any way to deflect the spray from reaching the prop? What are the regs. for operation on a Corps of Engineers lake? Enough questions. Glad you guys are out there. Brian Brian, This is the only form of Lanier in the Seaplane Directory. Does not look Good. LAKE SIDNEY LANIER - CLOSED. Coordinates: N34-14.00; W083-57.00. Controlling Agency: USACE, Mobile District (251/690-2511). steve

    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Bob and Jenn B" <tabberdd@hotmail.com> Can someone please tell me the size of the Mk II gear legs, are they 1 1/4" or 1 3/8"? I'm switching from the original sleeved gear to the solid aluminum. Travis thinks they are 1 1/4" but I can't tell without taking my out first. Bob Mk II 503 SCSI

    Subject: MK lll Trim
    --> Kolb-List message posted by: Cat36Fly@aol.com The Delaware Kolb has had a heavy left wing since birth (no surprise here). Tried to adjust it out to no avail. Yesterday I installed a trim tab per the factory drawings (14 "wide) on the right flaperon and test flew today. What a difference! I've done no trimming to the tab and it is almost perfect. Much more relaxed flying and better response. Will do the elevator next as it still pitches up a bit at high power settings. Flying this evening I was getting a 1000' rate of climb with 5800 rpm and 55 mph indicated. Not too shabby for a 582 huh? That was with 10 gal and 160 LB pilot. Larry Tasker 615RT do not archive

    --> Kolb-List message posted by: robert bean <slyck@frontiernet.net> welcome to the trim tab (TT?) club. Got one myself. -But I got thinking recently about the possibility of tailfeather twist having an effect. Why couldn't a little correction in the horizontal stabilizers help correct a heavy wing? Next year I may investigate. -BB do not archive On 12, Nov 2005, at 7:52 PM, Cat36Fly@aol.com wrote: > --> Kolb-List message posted by: Cat36Fly@aol.com > > The Delaware Kolb has had a heavy left wing since birth (no surprise > here). > Tried to adjust it out to no avail.

    --> Kolb-List message posted by: Mike Pierzina <planecrazzzy@yahoo.com> Hey Bob, The AK-450 "does" come with batteries...and they don't look "special" ....that 1300 number looks "common" I don't know why they insist on Duracell.....But , I'll stick with it..........There's also a "little" battery in the dash mounted remote switch box......... I have some pictures of where I mounted mine.....I still have to mount the "remote" in the cockpit....I'm thinking about running a "consol" bettween my legs.....from the floor ( over rudder cables ) to the panel. That way I'll have a place to mount my GPS too... Here's the ELT pictures : http://photos.groups.yahoo.com/group/up_yerz/lst?&.dir=/Mounting++ELT&.src=gr&.view=t&.url=http%3a//us.f1.yahoofs.com/groups/g_16588471/Mounting%2b%2bELT/DSC00408.jpg%3fbcheLdyBkxMN3Sn0&.cx=150&.cy=112&.type=u Holy Cow....what a LOOONG address...

    Subject: Apology to all on the Kolb list
    --> Kolb-List message posted by: Icrashrc@aol.com Apparently I've violated some secret elevator trim handshake and have left at least one person offended. While I knew not to ask the dreaded Seafoam question I had no idea asking a simple question could be so offensive. I've been lurking here a while now, finally bought a kit and figured I could ask a question or two. Guess I was wrong. I'll have to trade up to a Fergie I guess [see, I know I wasn't supposed to say that]! Ya'll take care, I'm going back to silent mode.

    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Larry Bourne" <biglar@gogittum.com> Hey, Scott, don't let one comment put you off. I dredged back thru the deleted items to the only post I can see from you, and personally don't see anything offensive about it. We're generally a pretty easy going group - especially Mike, tho' he must've been having a bad hair day that day - and we'd like to see you continue to contribute, and enjoy building your kit. We'd also like to here about your progress with it. Hang in there, it ain't all bad.........and besides.........you've already learned about Seafoam. :-) Lar. Do not Archive. P.S. I can't find my butt with both hands in the archives, either.
