I, as well as several other Kolb aircraft owners, live in the bug capitol of the USA! I think a simple remedy like a small filter tip would be a help. -suggestions? <snip> What we do is place automotive rubber vacuum caps on every vent/orifice on any thing that burns fuel from leaf blowers to the RV8 when not in use. Don't forget to put a bright red "Remove before flight" tag on the airplanes though. Heck even have them on my snapper mower! hehehe Merry Christmas and Happy new Year!

    Subject: Extending the range of a Firestar
    --> Kolb-List message posted by: John Jung <jrjungjr@yahoo.com> Jack and Group, You are right on with your suggestion. I have been slowly working on this over the years. In the past, I made improvements so that I could be comfortable enough to travel. These involved the seat, the enclosure, and sound reduction. Currently on my list, is enclosing the area above the tanks, and possibly getting the oil tank out of the air-stream. Where else could I clean it up? Another thing on my list is the HACman system for mixture control.

Hey Larry, Well just to set the record straight, if there were a good 4-stroke alternative to the 447/503 in the typical applications I admit I'd strongly consider it. But so far, the alternatives there are have their own disadvantages - weight, cost, installation problems being the main ones - that have so far always sent me back to the Rotax. Also, as I alluded to before, I'd definitely go to an alternative on the 582. I'm not as happy with this motor since it's not as reliable as the aircooled motors. In something requiring 582 sized power, I'd definitely look at the HKS on up through the jabiru and 912 instead. So far the dark horse appears to be the HKS. I, for example, was thinking it vibrated too much; well I was corrected here on the list. Also, I have read a pretty large body of opinion that it "performs more like a 503" that Tom Olenik has actually found not to be the case. He and his father have done a lot of experimenting with the propping which is what he's found to be the source of this. He says you can't prop it like a 582 - generally it needs a bit more prop since it lugs a lot better than the 582. So there's some mythology going on there as well which might be masking things a bit.... Anyway, it's no secret that my favorite 2-stroke is the 503. I don't hesitate to jump in my firestar and go somewhere ever because of concerns about the motor. Usually wind and bad weather are the limiting factors there. I've found it to be plenty dependable for any kind of flying or trips I might want to take. Finally, though, I will agree with John that the 912 is more reliable and for sure if I were to build a long-haul airplane like a Kolbra/mark III or such, intended for long trips I'd definitely fit a 912 instead. We only differed on _how much_ more reliable it was, not that it wasn't more reliable period. As I said, I eventually plan to fly in front of/underneath a 912 at some point soon as I get a little richer. But that won't keep me out of the FS in the meantime ;).

    Subject: Re: Extending the range of a Firestar
    --> Kolb-List message posted by: Richard Pike <richard@bcchapel.org> One of the mods we did was to add a lightweight lexan tapering enclosure that goes behind the flexible cockpit enclosure of the FSII, it is above the tanks and between the tanks and the gap seal. It makes a notable difference in rpm/speed, and also seems to enhance rudder authority. If you are interested, I can send you several .jpg pictures off list. We also use a gap seal with minimum air leaks.

    --> Kolb-List message posted by: DCulver701@aol.com Thanks George, for the great shots of Richard Swiderski,s custom built trailer. The trailer is very unique with great design features. Did you design & build it yourself, Richard? If You did, it was one heck of a nice job. What type of trailer did you start with, or was it designed from the ground up? I didn't see any dimensions for length & width, weight, or materials used? Is that available someplace? Again , thanks George for posting the pictures. Best regards. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year everyone. Dave Culver

    Subject: Trailering A Kolb
    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Richard Swiderski" <rswiderski@earthlink.net> Dave, yes I designed & built it from scratch after seeing Dennis Souders open air trailer with a drop step immediately behind the axle. It's a brilliant idea & I used that concept & enclosed it. The design goal was: a 2000 lb or lighter empty weight; a 150 lb tongue weight; a streamlined shape so it could be pulled by a 6 cylinder vehicle; to provide a cushy ride; to provide easy loading; to be amenable to FL summer heat; & double as a hanger. The tongue weight was unbelievably difficult to achieve. It is made of 1" 1x3 rectangular tubing for side frame; 4x4 tubing for tongue; steel siding for walls; seamless aluminum sheeting for roof. I lost the detailed measurements. Below is the comments I sent along with the pictures to George. If I was to build it again, I would make it much simpler with less pieces. The beauty of this trailer is that: 1)It is relatively light (2000 lbs); 2)It has a drop step at the rear that allows you to easily roll the Kolb into trailer without scrapping leading edge of wings & only having to raise the plane 6 inches; 3) It has a 150 lb tongue weight loaded or empty, yet tracks solid with no wagging; and 4) It is very streamlined with front walls tapering inward, front roof tapering down, rear floor tapering upward & 11 inches of road clearance (except for the drop step 2ft behind the rear axle which has 5" clearance & has drag strips with the paint still on them.) The weird box inside the trailer on the upper left is a 12V/propane refrigerator. The rear ramp has a garage door spring assist & requires two fingers to lift. The rear door is adjustable for opened height. The RV awning is a great reprieve from treeless airports. The front door allows quick access on road & cross breeze ventilation when loading. Two side windows & trap door in floor allow ventilation when parked. Plexiglass roof window brightens entire trailer. The dual axles prevents the trailer from dropping if you have to go over pot holes & the rubber torsion suspension provides a cushy ride. Interior & exterior 12V lighting makes those after sunset folding & loading jobs easy. Lots of 120V AC lighting is for using the trailer as a hanger & shop. The robust roof truss with ratchet strap is what takes the weight completely off the tail wheel & puts that weight immediately in front of the front axle. This was the big break through solution that allowed a light tongue weight without moving the axles so far forward that towing stability would be compromised. The ratchet strap goes around the tail boom where the h-section is installed. All in all, I am thrilled with this purpose trailer. -

    Subject: HKS on a Firestar II
    --> Kolb-List message posted by: John Jung <jrjungjr@yahoo.com> Denny and Group, I have looked into the HKS several times, and it is probably the best engine if one wants to go traveling in a Firestar II. For me, the likely improvements over a 503 are not worth the money. Now, if I didn't already own a 503 and had to buy a new one, I might get the HKS, instead. I also would like someone else to be the first. If anyone know of an HKS on a Kolb, let us know. I have considered the change in Rotax gear box, too.

    Subject: T'was The Night Before Christmas - Sport Plane Version
    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Jim Pellien" <jim@pellien.com> 'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the forum not an EMAIL was posted, not even a note. The stockings were hung by the laptop with care, in hopes that Tom P. soon would be there. The pilots were nestled all snug in their beds, while visions of SLSA's danced in their heads. The aircraft in their hangars, and I in my cap, had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap. When out on the tarmac there arose such a clatter, I sprang from my desk to see what was the matter. Away to the window I flew like a flash, tore open the shutter, and threw up the sash. The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow gave the lustre of midday to the tie-downs below, when, what to my wondering eyes should appear, but a Light Sport Aircraft and eight big EAA 'rs. With a little old pilot, so lively and quick, I knew in a moment it must be Tom P. More rapid than eagles, his coursers they came, and he whistled and shouted and called them by name: "Now Rutan! Now Melville! Now, Fossett and Boyer! On, Lawrence! On, Heintz! On, Van G and Sawyer! To the end of the runway! To the tie-down area Now Shut Down ! Shut Down! Shut Down All Engines" As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, when they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky so up to the top of the FBO they flew, with the sleigh full of flight toys, and Tom P. too. And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof the prancing and pawing of each little hoof. As I drew in my head and was turning around, down the chimney Tom P. came with a bound. He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot, and his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot. A bundle of new FAA rules he had flung on his back, and he looked like a peddler just opening his pack. He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work, and filled all the stockings, with SP and LSA Rulings. And laying his finger aside of his nose, and giving a nod, up the chimney he rose. He sprang to his SLSA, completed his preflight, And away he flew like the down of a thistle. But I heard him exclaim, 'ere he flew out of sight, "Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!"

The plane flew for around 5 years in & around central Mississippi with no infestation, then they got both sides at once. I discovered the problem after a 15 minute flight. Heard 'that great sucking sound' & noticed that one of the leading edge tanks was sunken in about 1" between the ribs. The vents are made of 1/4" AL tubing, around 1/8" ID & necked down smaller than that by the tubing cutter. Both vent lines got screens over the ends before it flew again. Charlie

    Subject: xtra Quick Build hours?
    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Ron" <captainron1@cox.net> Well it pretty much depends on how much time you can give the project and how good you are in interpreting the plans. I had one hell of a time deciphering the old M3X plans. Also I am located remote from any Kolbs. I had nothing to look at to see how it's put together. This list helped me a lot when the members sent me pictures. Anyway I think if you have the budget to get everything including the engine, instruments and covering material you could finish it in 6 months with 3-4 hrs 3 times a week. Just a guess. Each builder is different so in reality this estimate applies to me only. :-) Ron Arizona ========================== -----Original Message----- From: owner-kolb-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-kolb-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of David Key Subject: Kolb-List: xtra Quick Build hours? --> Kolb-List message posted by: "David Key" <dhkey@msn.com> Is there someone that can tell me how long the xtra quick build kit takes to build?
