    --> Kolb-List message posted by: Rick Miles <ultrastarrick@yahoo.com> Hi I work on 2 stroke race motors and have discover that the ethanol cleans the oil from the bearings a little to good and most of the time causes abnormal wear. Dave Bigelow <up_country@hotmail.com> wrote: --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Dave Bigelow" The State of Hawaii Legislature (in their infinte wisdom/ignorance) has passed a law that mandates all automotive gas sold in the state after April 1st will consist of 10% ethanol. This sounds like a nice green thing to do, but from a technical standpoint is bogus. First thing is that it takes more energy to produce a gallon of ethanol than the gallon of ethanol will produce. Add to that the fact that a gallon of ethanol has only 75% of the engergy of a gallon of gas, and also has a fuel system damaging affinity for absorbing water. The whole thing is a feel good tax payer subsidy of the local sugar industry. End of rant! Now, the reason for this post is tap some of the great amount of experience on this list. What kind of experience have you had running a gas/ethanol blend in two stroke engines? Is the power loss noticible? Is re-jetting needed? Have you had problems with water laden fuel gumming up the carbs? Maybe "Sea Foam" will solve the whole problem. :P -------- Dave Bigelow Kamuela, Hawaii FS2, Rotax 503 DCDI Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=22593#22593 --------------------------------- Bring photos to life!

    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Roger Lee" <ssadiver1@yahoo.com> In Arizona we have had that fuel for many years now and it is used during the winter months. They are now going to get rid of it from what I hear. I have used this for many years and you should not notice any difference. When I had my Rotorway 162F helicopter they recomended that we not use it because Rotorway thought it was hard on some of their seals and rubber parts. Didn't seem to make a difference. I use it now in my 912S. In Arizona they switch back to the regular fuel during the warmer months. -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az.

    Subject: Ethanol / gasoline mixture
    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Edward Steuber" <esteuber@rochester.rr.com> All, I don't believe it should cause a big problem for the people with engines that can adapt the oil injection to their particular engines like all the Rotex models . I was told the oil does not mix well with the alcohol and a lubrication problem can result.....In my case I am running 2 Cuyuna's (Ul202) on my Kolb and CGS Hawk that I don't believe can be adapted to oil injection. I do know 2SI was in the process of supplying 28 HP 2 cycle engines of the same configuration to the military that run on jet fuel...I think they are using an injector system on it ...anybody know ? Of course they no longer support the ultralight community because of past litigation so don't plan on pulling up to the jet fuel pumps any time soon ... Unless I buy one of those pulse jet engines on E-bay ...then I could install a bottle jack between the front wing attach points and sweep the wings in flight on the Ultrastar.....NAAAAWW !........ then I'd have to put 7 ribs in the wings !

    Subject: Re: Upgrades to my Mark III
    From: "Roger Lee" <ssadiver1@yahoo.com>
    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Roger Lee" <ssadiver1@yahoo.com> I mounted mine just behind the main tanks on top of the fusalage material. I had a Codura bag (can be any color) made and the bladder tank fits inside. Doesn't have to be in a bag just the way I set it up. I had some 1" strap added to the seams on the bottom of the bag that is attached to my frame. It just sits there. It rises when full and flattens out when empty. The filler tube on the bladder is long and swivels so it's easy to fill. You can set up the fuel feed any way you want. I have mine set up on a valve in the cockpit and an auxillary fuel pump I already owned. I pump it into the main tanks and that lets me see the amount on my EIS for the amount in the main tanks. My Navman also lets me watch my fuel usage for a particular trip. I'm sure this can be set up a dozen different ways. This way was easy and it seems to work. It would take just a few minutes also to remove the system if for some reason you wanted it out of the way. -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az.

    Subject: Re: Ethanol/Gasoline Mixture
    From: "Dave Bigelow" <up_country@hotmail.com>
    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Dave Bigelow" <up_country@hotmail.com> I'm finding more and more on the subject of blended ethanol/gas as I go - most of it not good. Here's a very good research paper done by Onan Engines in Australia that Jim Baker recommended: http://www.deh.gov.au/atmosphere/fuelquality/publications/review-non-automotive/pubs/review.pdf Here's what Rotax has to say: *OXYGENATES (ALCOHOL ADDITIVES) ARE TO BE AVOIDED, ANY VOLUMES OVER 5% CANNOT BE USED. TESTING FOR ALCOHOL IS THE ONLY SAFE WAY TO BE SURE YOUR FUEL IS O.K. FOR USE IN YOUR ROTAX. A SIMPLE TEST KIT FOR DOING THIS IS AVAILABLE THROUGH AUTHORIZED DISTRIBUTORS OF MOGAS FOR AIRCRAFT. CONTACT YOUR LOCAL EAA FOR YOUR NEAREST MOGAS DISTRIBUTOR. THE ILL EFFECTS OF ALCOHOL IN YOUR ENGINE ARE AS FOLLOWS; THE ALCOHOL WILL ATTRACT WATER, THIS CAN CAUSE YOUR SEDIMENT TRAPS TO FLOOD, PLUG FILTERS AND RESTRICT FUEL FLOW. ALSO, AND VERY IMPORTANT, THE ALCOHOL COMPETES DIRECTLY WITH THE LUBRICATION, AND DEPENDING ON YOUR OILS ABILITY TO COMBAT SUCH, COULD CAUSE ENGINE DAMAGE IMPORTANT ALSO IS THE ALCOHOL CARRIES WATER WHICH ON ENGINE SHUT DOWN AND STORAGE CAN CREATE CORROSION ON VITAL ENGINE PARTS SUCH AS CRANK MAIN AND ROD BEARINGS AS WELL AS PINS. ONCE CORROSION PITS HAVE STARTED, THE BEARINGS WIU FAIL SHORTLY AFTER. *SEASONAL BLEND CROSSOVERS CAN EFFECT YOUR FUELS VOLATILITY IF YOU USE A WINTER BLEND FUEL DURING A HOT SUMMER DAY. THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH PEOPLE WHO BUY A FUEL BLEND IN COLDER CLIMATES IN MARCH, BUT DON'T USE IT IN THEIR ROTAX UNTIL JUNE. EVAPORATION TEMPERATURES OF YOUR FUEL MUST BE LOW ENOUGH TO MINIMIZE CRANKCASE AND COMBUSTION CHAMBER DEPOSITS AS WELL AS SPARK PLUG FOULING WITHOUT FEAR OF VAPOUR LOCKING OR BOILING. ALWAYS MAKE SURE YOU BUY YOUR FUEL FROM A HIGH VOLUME USER, AND AVOID FUELWHICH HAS BEEN IN STORAGE FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME, ESPECIALLY BETWEEN SEASONS. LOSS OF OCTANE RATING IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON FUEL STORED INCORRECTLY, WHICH COULD LEAD DIRECTLY TO ENGINE STOPPAGE. Guess my only choice here in Hawaii will be to use avgas - any tips regarding the use of avgas in 2 stroke engines? -------- Dave Bigelow Kamuela, Hawaii FS2, Rotax 503 DCDI Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=22676#22676

    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Dave & Eve Pelletier" <pelletier@cableone.net> Not me!... I have friends with wing tanks and lifting up a 5 gallon gas can is a pain...if it leaks, then the fuel comes down your arm. But mainly, it would mean disconnecting fuel lines when you fold the wings and I fold mine every time I fly. I like it the way it is, thank you.

    From: "Dave Bigelow" <up_country@hotmail.com>
    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Dave Bigelow" <up_country@hotmail.com> My Landshorter VG's are at 7 inches from the leading edge measured along the chord line of my Firestar 2 wing. The interval is from the Landshorter templates. My wing has a smooth leading edge with no sag between ribs, so I could put them at any interval. Stall is at 30 mph, and is abrupt, much like that of a sailplane laminar wing. Handling is rock solid right up to the stall, and then it quits with a pronounced drop of the nose. I find that the aircraft flys better in ground effect during the landing flare, and doesn't quit flying as suddenly as it did before VG's. I do notice that it takes a little more power to hold cruise speed. Overall, I think they are a great positive. John's flight tests seem to indicate that the stall charactoristics are more mellow with the VG's at 8 inches. If I were starting from scratch, I'd use 8 inches from the LE. -------- Dave Bigelow Kamuela, Hawaii FS2, Rotax 503 DCDI Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=22679#22679

You say the stall is at 30 mph and abrupt. However, during landing, "doesn't quit flying as suddenly as it did before VG's." I'm probably reading it wrong. If so, you can straighten me out, please. Glad it flies better in ground effect. Mine does too. john h MKIII

Dave and Group, This is interesting because I have a smooth wing too. What interval did you choose? Could the 1 inch change in placement cause that much difference? Or are we describing the same thing differently? The VG's do give my stall a sharper feel but much less nose drop and much less time before the stall stops. At least that is the impression that I got. At 4,500 rpm, I could do a stall every 5 to 10 seconds, always between 29.5 and 30 mph, and I did not notice a change in my vertical air speed on the EIS, or an altitude loss. Maybe, I not pulling into the stall fast enough, but I think that I was simulating a landing stall. Do we have any former test pilots to help with how stall testing should be done or described? -------- John Jung Firestar II N6163J Surprise, AZ Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=22696#22696

    Subject: Re: Older Pilots
    --> Kolb-List message posted by: jerb <ulflyer@verizon.net> Let's think about this - cost of flying today lends itself to older and often better financially positioned individuals. Getting started today is very expensive. Once the major life responsibilities are past like paying for the house, expenses of raising ones kids and their education, it isn't until one is older that they have the time and financial ability where they can get back involved with aviation. By this alone the majority of the pilot population will age. Attend any meeting of an EAA Chapter that has been around for a while, you'll see a lot of gray and white hair. I just recently attended some activity and noticed there was a lot of gray and white hair in the room, just can't recall what or where it was.

    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Robert Laird" <rlaird@cavediver.com> Well, I just wrote a letter to the editor of that rag, and this is what I said: "Ryan Pearson's article about older pilots crashing in disproportionate numbers is balderdash. Younger pilots don't fly as many hours as older pilots, because it usually more affordable for older and more affluent pilots to fly more often. So the comparison should be comparing number of hours flown. I think you'd see proportionate numbers. This is strictly yellow journalism, making something out of nothing just to sensationalize, with the result of making the insurance companies worry... for no good reason. Who suffers? Older pilots, in disproportionate numbers."

    From: "Dave Bigelow" <up_country@hotmail.com>
    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Dave Bigelow" <up_country@hotmail.com> John Jung, The interval between the two VG's in a pair is 2.75 inches, and between pairs is 3.00 inches. I think the one inch distance from the LE may make a pretty big difference in the stall. Power off or on with from a pitch attitude of level flight (bleeding airspeed attempting to hold a constant altitude to the break), the nose drops at least 20 degrees. If you have any rudder or a bank at the stall, the wing will drop in the direction of bank or rudder input. I get the feeling you could spin it, but so far have not been tempted to test that aspect of Firestar flight. John H, The Firestar gear limits the angle of attack of the wing in a three point landing. Most landings seem to touch down near 35, although I have made a few tailwheel first landings a bit slower. I think ground effect may temper the stall a bit close to the ground. I find that I'm doing a lot less stick stirring doing landing, as the response is quicker and less mushy. I'm sure you could get in trouble with a flare six feet (or more) in the air. Instead mushing into the ground in a level attitude, I think the nose would drop. My opinion is that an experienced pilot would have no trouble with the VG's, but a pilot new to Kolbs should probably get some time with the standard wing before adding VG's. -------- Dave Bigelow Kamuela, Hawaii FS2, Rotax 503 DCDI Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=22775#22775

They are coming from someone subscribed to the Pietenpol-List (and a number of others, such as the Kitfox-list and Kolb-List) and who has some Spam filtering software mis-configured. The problem I'm having is that my posts to the List don't seem to cause me to get one of the bounces. I need to dissect in detail the full headers of one of these messages to determine (hopefully) where they are actually coming from. If someone that has received one of these could forward me a complete copy of the message including all of the headers (in Unix email format with all of the "Received: " lines intact), hopefully I can get this guy removed from the List.
