Larry, I can't believe you said that....awkward??!! ...NO WAY, It is BECAUSE
of Jimmy that I now have this signoff signature which is always going to be
part of my emails....thank you Jimmy.........well, does everyone get the
drift that I most certainly did not say this with the proper respect to be shown
Mr Biglar. He is most assuredly entitled to his position and I have mine.
The other important observation is that I am soooooo far behind on my
newsgroup emails.
I visited the EAA chapter in Leesburg Fl yesterday and will probably
join....nice group of guys there.

Todd;
What I received in my kit was an oval instrument pod. They are shown in the
CPS catalog. I managed to squeeze in an Alt, AS, ROC, Bank Indicator, Tach,
and Compass. It took some tinkering and bulging out one small area for the
compass but it worked. Good Luck

For those needing a reason of some kind for buying an Aircraft
I have read many posts on the web site from members and on MMAIL who
are thinking about owning their own aircraft and looking for ways to
offset the cost of ownership. I have heard many reasons for and
against ownership. Why buy an aircraft? It's cheaper to rent and you
do not have all the hassle with maintenance, fuel and insurance. Well,
here is a little story that I think explains it all as to why I own my
own airplane.
It was a beautiful Saturday morning. No winds and the temperature was
just right. So instead of mowing the lawn like my wife had planned for
me, I decided to go to the airport and take the Sport out for a run.
She yells back at me, "WELL IF YOU GO, TAKE YOUR SON WITH YOU." So I
ask my son. Want to go flying with dad? In which he says Yea, Can I
take my light saber?
You see, my 9 year son thinks he is a Jedi Knight and that our Sport
is his personal X-Wing fighter. He is only 4'5 and has to sit on a
pillow in order to see over the glare shield and he always carries his
light saber just in case we land on a strange planet in which there
might be trouble or civil un-rest. Always prepared this one is. So
away we go.
THERE I WAS=85=85..
We were straight and level at around 6,000ft and I let him take the
controls of the X-Wing to do some turns to the left and right. Joshua
Approach called and said there was traffic at our 2'oclock 2 miles
opposite direction and My son said to me "Look over there dad, Tie
fighter coming right at us". I told him to steer clear of the Tie
Fighter because our lasers were out for repair and we were un-armed.
No reason to provoke a fight.
So even though he is having a blast, I am starting to get a little
bored and thought, "Let's go do a practice approach on the ILS". So I
called Joshua Approach, requested the ILS 25 Approach to Palmdale Full
Approach and off we went. I maneuvered the X-Wing to the VOR and
started the turn outbound to the outer marker. Now my son is just
really enjoying this. At the outer marker, the blue light started to
flash and you could hear the BEEP in the headset. My Son jumps in and
said "That Tie Fighter has locked on to us" I said "That's Right" and
I started my evasive maneuver on the procedure turn.
My Son is listening to the exchange between me and the controller and
wants to chime in on the conversion. I said to my son, "Just hang on;
I will give you a chance". I never should have said that because now
he is all excited to talk on the radio. As I start to turn inbound on
the turn, the Approach control said "Contact tower when established on
the localizer". So I told my young Padawan Learner "OK, when this
needle gets here on the dial, push the radio button and tell the tower
that 93 Romeo is inbound on the localizer".
Now imagine this, I am giving basic instrument instruction to a 9 year
old, I cannot get adults to say this during training. So before I can
give him something simpler to say he keys the mike and says
"REBEL BASE, THIS IS RED 5. WE ARE STARTING OUR ATTACK RUN ON THE
DEATH STAR".
Good God.
Now this post 9/11 and before I can key my mike and say anything, the
tower jumps on and says "RED 5, YOUR CLEARED FOR THE APPROACH TO THE
DEATH STAR. REPORTS HITS AWAY"
Now I am waiting for the tower to add "And tell your dad to call this
number" But I hear nothing else. So we continue the approach. Now my
son is in heaven. This is real life stuff to him and he is doing
everything I tell him to do as far as tracking the needle. As we
approach the outer marker inbound, the light starts to flash and there
is that tone again. "Dad, the Death Star has a lock on us". Yes Son,
you keep on the approach, I will worry about the guns.
Everything is going great and now we are approaching the middle
marker. My son has noticed the GPS has a red line with an airplane on
it and it ends at the Death Star. So he asks me "IS THAT A TARGETING
COMPUTER DAD?" Well of course it is, and it shows us where we are to
the target. So now he hears Obewan tell him to USE THE FORCE SCOTT and
he turns the GPS OFF. Tells me he is OK and does not need the
targeting computer because he is using the FORCE.
Now the middle marker light flashes and the tone comes on. I apply
full power and the airplane,,,X-Wing,,, Starts a climb. I start the
turn to the missed approach path when my son keys the mike and says
"HITS AWAY". The tower answers back with "GOOD JOB RED 5, CONTACT
REBEL APPROACH ON 126.1"
We go back to Mojave SPACEPORT, and I decide that the X-Wing needs a
bath. So out comes all the cleaning stuff and we spend the rest of the
day washing and waxing the turbo jets and laser pods.
So you see. This is why I own my own aircraft. You cannot beat this
kind of quality time with your kids. And there is no way you can put a
price on that.

Naw, not random garbage, Bob. I found it highly entertaining, and
definitely flying connected. I hafta give that controller honors for his
sense of humor when recognizing a kids voice on the radio. :-) ........and
can also picture his dad's consternation. If I didn't like it,
the delete button is right there. I'd like to see more stories like that.

Not a problem, George, and no offense taken. This is why we have individual
choice. For me, I have enuf email traffic off-List that Larry's reasoning
applies to me, too. Also, due to that 9th grade class and 8 yrs of
computers now, I'm a VERY fast typist, tho' I couldn't compete with a
professional secretary. Do not Archive takes about 3 seconds.

Hi Robert,
What a great post.
Have I your permission to forward it to a flying magazine?. With Christmas
issues coming out soon I am sure they could use a good story like that.
Incidentally is that the sort of post that should be archived or not. I
would vote `Yes`
MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU.

--> Kolb-List message posted by: "John Bickham" <gearbender@bellsouth.net>
Hello list,
Finally getting all my priorities right. Shop is cleared of all projects
that have taken up space to this point. Been working hard on my welding.
Really just getting started on the repairs to my Mark III Classic. For
those that don't know or remember, I kinda "screwed the pooch" on the way to
MV in 2004. No excuse. Bad decision making with changing weather. More
lucky than good.
Anyway, I'm getting cranked up. If you are interested I plan to share this
effort on a web page:
http://home.bellsouth.net/p/PWP-8JB
Will update the page as things progress, so check in from time to time.
Maybe some of you will have some suggestions. Maybe you can learn from some
of the dumb things I have or might do. This is one of those generic free
web pages. Simple and easy to use, just not a lot of bells and whistles.
Want to spend more time on the plane than on the computer.
As usual, any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Many of you
have been great help over and over for quite a while now.
Do Not Archive
Thanks,
John Bickham

It's Speedy Lar when he can sprawl on his lazy butt and let his speedy
fingers do the walking. :-) I went to the dentist for a root
canal last Thurs and he didn't get all the root, or infection, or something.
I'm stumbling around here with a swollen jaw, full of emergency
prescriptions of codeine and penicillin thinking tomorrow will never come.
No work on anything on this beautiful 75 deg day. Can't go for a drive.
Not even watching TV. Misery. Mournful Lar.

Not bad at all, considering.......................
Looks like some of the tubing may be straightened, rather than
replaced.
Will be coming through your way 1 Dec, and returning about 5 or 6 Dec.
Will give you are holler to see if you are home.
I like your web site.

--> Kolb-List message posted by: "Jim Ballenger" <ulpilot@cavtel.net>
Larry T / Kolbers
This weekend was great for flying Kolbs in southeast Virginia.
Larry, I wanted to let you know what I got for a takeoff climb rate this morning.
OAT was 54 degrees F, the plane with 20 gallons of fuel and me weighted 869
pounds at take off. The 582 was turning 6400 rpm and the ASI indicated 59/60
mph with the VSI initially showing 1000 fpm then 1100 fpm. After gaining a couple
of hundred feet of altitude the VSI indicated 900 - 1000 fpm. Near the
end of my climb at 1000 feet the VSI was indicating 700 - 800 fpm.
I did a high speed run and could only get 87/88 mph IAS with the 9.5 degree pitch
in the taper tip warp drive 3 bladed propeller.

Got a couple questions for you.
What is the diameter of your Warp Drive?
What was engine rpm at WOT, straight and level flight, 88 mph?
What was gross weight of your Xtra during this test?
Thanks,

I performed the same drill this morning. My craft with me a 10 gal of fuel
weighed 776 lbs. I pulled the nose up and held 58 - 60 mph and was showing 1000
fpm, then 1100 and down to 800-900 at 1000 ft. This was also with the taper
tip and 6200 rpm. Later in the day (it was warmer) when taking off from
another airport I could only get 5800 rpm. Got to do some checking there.
Installed a trim tab on the elevator. Flew and adjusted same. Can now fly with
two
fingers for the most part. Have not done any high speed trials yet and usually
cruise at 4500 to 5200 rpm which will give me 56 - 72 mph.
Next the sand bags!

Matt, list
As I see it, the whole idea of shortening "do not archive " from 14
keystrokes to one or two is to make things easier for everyone who uses
the list.
What's wrong with that? Whyyyyy not?
Is anyone really opposed to this?

Take a break.
DO NOT ARCHIVE is a dead issue. Maybe it would be a good idea to
spend more time building or flying a Kolb.

I think yall are missing the point. This list is for things about flying
and building Kolb aircraft. If you only post things related to that you
would not have to type do not archive that often. If you want to hold a
dialog about days gone by or a chat with someone on the list e-mail that
individual directly. No hard feelings intended JMHO because ya ask.

| Subject: | FireFly Tail Cable Ends |
--> Kolb-List message posted by: "Jack B. Hart" <jbhart@onlyinternet.net>
FireFlyers & Kolbers,
I have been watching the cable thimbles that pass through the tangs attached
to the horizontal and vertical stabilizers. When I assembled the FireFly, I
de burred the tang holes to remove the sharp corners and to provide a better
load bearing surface to the thimble. At 194 hours one thimble above the
horizontal stabilizer was showing enough wear that repair was required to
prevent cable damage.
I believe I need to increase tension in the cables to keep them from
strumming. To repair the thimbles, I wrapped them with 0.016 inch thick
brass to present a new wear surface to the tang. JB Weld was used to keep
the wrap from sliding out of place on the thimble. If you would like to see
how it was done, it can be seen at:

Hope to be back in the air tomorrow.
