Ya, But I got the Golden Egg!!! This little girl was about to grab it, so I pushed
her down, and grabbed it myself [Laughing]
OK, OK your right Mike, But you only seen the good side of it.
On the inside,
I was able to take a couple of strips of 4oz. fibrglass cloth and 30 min epoxy
on 2 of the real bad rips in it and it seems like it is going to work.
I cleaned the suface with acetone, then sanded and the epoxy has really bonded.
There are going to be some pretty bad gaps, on the outside though.
What would you suggest? Can I use some kind of bondo?
I am going to re-inforce the area's where it attach'es to the fuse cage using the
fiberglass-epoxy strip and I guess I better do the same around the Top where
I will need to attach the new short windsheild.
But still, Is there a parts list for the Firestar from Kolb?
Thanks for the nudge, Mike and Bob.
I couldn't find spell check here, So please, grade me on the curve :D

Dr. , When doing fiberglass work, the rule is that you can put epoxy over
polyester, but not polyester over epoxy. Bondo is polyester. You can use it,
but eventually it is going to bubble up and then start to flake off taking
your paint job with it. Better to mix up what is known as heavy micro. Order
Micro ballons from Spruce, Wick's or a local supplier. Mix up a small batch
of epoxy (1/4 cup max) add micro balloons until it has the consistancy of
stiff cream (always wear a face mask when using micro balloons, they're tiny
glass bubbles) and apply with a squeegee. Put on a nicely skimmed, thin
layer. The next day, sand, and repeat until you have the surface you're
ready to prime. If you have lots of pin holes (you WILL) use pure epoxy
applied with a single edge razor blade as a squeegee to fill them. This may
take several applications, too.
If you ever wondered about it, it generally takes longer to fill and smooth
a Long EZ or Varieze than it does to build the entire stucture of the
aircraft, it just depends on what you want the finished product to look
like.

Don't use Bondo. Poly-Fiber makes a product called "Super Fil" that is a
lightweight epoxy/microballoon mix that sands out to a feather edge and is
quite strong - but not to be used where structural strength is needed. You
could also order microballoons from System 3 or Gougeon (sp ??) and mix your
own. For structural repairs, I'd use silica or chopped glass as a filler,
or even, since it'll probably be painted, wood flour. I haven't worked much
with the 30 minute epoxies, mainly because of my understanding of their
being less than ideal over long term or some conditions of
humidity/moisture. System 3 has some excellent literature available. Jim
and Dondi will probably have Super Fil; for other products, I've been using
Jamestown Distributors in RI with pleasure and success for some time.

Robert,
Ain't any reluctance, but there ain't any FAA guys here to do it. At
this time 10 days ago, there wasn't a DAR in Arizona certified to inspect
ELSA. That's the problem. This inspector just got certified last monday.

You guys keep saying ELSA. What am I missing? Couldn't you get your plane
registered as a Amateur Built Experimental? Is there really a different
registration process for ELSA? Is there a downs side to registering it as a
Experimental. The only limitation I can think of is that you can't use a
Experimental for profit. The only exception is the temporary use of
Experimental for training ELSA.
It seems there would be allot more DARs for experimental and maybe even some
FAA guys in your area.
I suppose that there are all levels of quality of DARs but you would expect
if you paid for a inspection you would get a good one. Again there are all
levels of FAA guys but I got just what I paid for when the FAA guy inspected
my Experimental. The guy made sure the numbers matched on everything that
need to match and signed off. I couldn't get him to even look at my work.

I was told DARs now have to buy liability insurance that is why the
inspection fees have gone way up. Most of the DARs are retired FAA inspectors
so
they rather give the business to there retired buddies.

Dave, doesn't look like good distribution of resources. There have to
be
more experimentals in progress in AZ than around here.
I think the local FAA guy here does a fairly large radius of ops.
Anyway, congrats on getting it behind you and enjoy your legal Kolb.

Guys,
I just made my reservations from the 17th thru the 21st and I'm in space 11.
There's a bunch of Airstream people there around the same time so it's probably
best to make reservations asap. I couldn't get space 48 which is what I
wanted but space 11 is near the tent camping area - just over the hill like we
were a couple of years ago. Spaces 10 on down are still available. I think
spaces 12 on up will be available if anyone is coming in late, like on the 19th
or later because the airstream people are leaving around that time. Phone number
is 435 727-3235. I asked if the tent guys need to make reservations and
his answer was kinda wishy washy. I don't think the tenters HAVE to have a reservation
but he said he'd like them to call first - whatever that means. Oh,
and when you make your reservations, tell him you're with the Kolb bunch.
AzDave

If you didn't build the plane, then you can't register it as Experimental -
Amateur Built since you didn't build 51% of it.
Also, the difference is that you can do all of the inspections on your plane
after you attend the 16-hour Maintenance course if it is registered ELSA
and, (here is the important part) the next owner can also attend the 16-hour
course and do all of the maintenance and inspections. Sure, if it is
registered Experimental Amateur Buit, you can do the maintenance and
inspections since you built it. But the next owner has to have an A & E guy
do the annuals and maintenance and that can get expensive. Therefore, your
plane becomes more valuable if/when you want to sell it if it is registered
ELSA.

Yes there are. But for some reason, known only to somebody sitting behind a
grey desk somewhere, they can inspect Amateur Built but not ELSA. I guess
it's because if it is registered ELSA it flies different.

Yes, I still think I paid an outrageous fee but he did do a thorough
inspection. He spent about 45 minutes on just the plane.

When I ordered my parts last week I was told that they were in stock and
would be delivered by Friday.. Called this morning and was told they had
no parts in stock and they would have to come from Austria. 2 to 3
months... called another company and ordered the part and they assured
me they had it in stock. THIS FRIDAY FER SURE.. Kind of sounds like

Am moving along with my Mark 3X and need to start thinking of what Engine to purchase.
Was looking at the Rotax 582, but having to change jetting, limits the range of

In a web search looking for information on alt. compensating carbs, I came across
the Green Sky Adventures site about the HACman Mixture Control.
Looks interesting - has anyone any experience with this setup or heard about it?

According to the regs for amateur experimental you do not have to be
the sole builder. If one or two guys previous to you built their
contribution
and documented it, that is all that is required. I rebuilt one wing and
repaired a cage and I am the manufacturer of record.

Hi Chris,
The poor little girl....next time she'll have a "club" in her basket...
Why are you using Epoxy....instead of Fiberglass "Resin" w/hardener
After you do all you can with the Fiberglass and the resin and you have
things close...their are some fillers like Bondo to finish it up.....I think I
would grind that epoxy out of there....and do all the repairs with fiberglass
...that would be the strongest...I think the epoxy would separate after
some flexing...
Some repairs call for "chopping" up the fiberglass cloth....kind of laying
it down like that plywood stuff....
Parts List...? Call Kolb...
Gotta Fly...

Hi John,
thats about the same as here though I have landed gliders by the light of
car headlamps on occasion.
If an ultralight is built overweight then it is possible that it can be
registered as a Light Airplane and they operate under a whole different set
of rules including night flying.
Good luck on the MV Fly in. Wish I could make it. I had rather put the idea
on the back burner with the expectation of maybe making the Homer Fly in
instead and now there isn`t going to be one its a bit late to reorganise.
Maybe next year.

Sorry Pat,
G-CDFA was the first Xtra with Jab 2200 and VG's to gain full UK type
approval, G-PLAD is the next one though.
In the UK, ALL new kit built aircraft must initially be flown by a suitably
qualified test pilot and a final test programme conducted, then the A/C can
be issued with a full permit to fly. At each annual there after can be flown
by the owner.

The hardware store 30 minute epoxy isn't too bad. The 5 minute stuff
is worthless.
It should be used with either random mat or woven. Ok for an internal
reinforcing patch on a crack or split.
I used the "AlphaPoxy" laminating resin from ACSpruce for my nose plug.
A gallon will do a lot of work.
The polyester resins used in the bondo type compounds will shrink and
debond with exposure to light and heat. If used as a cosmetic filler
the
ones with the chopped glass in them like "Tiger Hair" are ok.
For smoothing fussy little low spots a quick hardening polyester spot
putty
like EverCoat Spot-Lite is handy.

I have used a pair of HAC compensating carbs on a 503 for about 12 years.
Technically you should adjust them once a year with a little divining rod that
comes with them and a known air pressure preferably in millibars. I have
become lazy recently and have not done the adjustment for 3 years or so. They
function well, I have been able to fly to 12K + and not have seasonal problems.
Considering how easy it is to swap a main jet (and if you are going for
altitude you will be wide open) its a working but not an economical solution.

Thanks Dave
I forgot the 16 hour class was a feature of ELSA registration.
Seems like there might be some way to change a amateur built experimental to
a ELSA if necessary. In fact I would expect that the FAA considers the
experimental a higher level of registration. It's something like the private
pilot license that can fly a ELSA without a medical. I would think that when
it all sorts out, its likely that a airplane registered as a Experimental
that meets the standards of a ELSA will have that ability to be maintained
by a nonbuilder owner with the 16 hour class also.

Micro ballons from Spruce, Wick's or a local supplier. Mix up a small batch
of epoxy (1/4 cup max) add micro balloons until it has the consistency of
stiff cream (always wear a face mask when using micro balloons, they're tiny
glass bubbles) and apply with a squeegee. Put on a nicely skimmed, thin
layer. The next day, sand, and repeat until you have the surface you're
ready to prime. If you have lots of pin holes (you WILL) use pure epoxy
applied with a single edge razor blade as a squeegee to fill them. This may
take several applications, too.
If you ever wondered about it, it generally takes longer to fill and smooth
a Long EZ or Varieze than it does to build the entire structure of the
aircraft, it just depends on what you want the finished product to look
like.
After building a Long Ez to Show Quality I think I can comment on this.
Epoxy and polyester can be compatible in any case as long as the preparation is
ok. If you have a crushed part like a nose, there are several ways to repair
it depending on the specifics. I repaired a wheelpant once and it looked
better than the other one. feel free to call me during daytime office hours at
407 947 0708 and I will try to help. Depending on your specifics it can be a
lengthy topic.

Hey!
That's my airplane. I'd recognize the Wal*Mart plastic table cloth
windshield cover anywhere. ;-)

Gerry Olenik must have taken these photos the morning after the big
thunderstorm. He and his family, occupying the two tents on the other
side of my mkIII and tent, got drenched. I woke up at 0230 to moans
and groans drifting through the rage of the storm. The wind was
blowing and the rain was coming down in buckets full. If you look
hanging on the prop of Gerry's Kitfox you will see a pair of soggy
blue jeans hanging there.
Glad to see he is initiating plans for developing the HKS for the
Kolb. Now is a good chance for someone to get in on the ground floor.
Take care,

This is no ordinary adventure, but the celebrated
=93Running of the Kolbs=94 more than 2,100 miles
through America's Heartland - the granddaddy of
long flights - from Georgia, at least, it wanders
across how many states? I don't even know!
Through hills and mountains whose very
names Blue Ridge, Smokies, Rockies, -seems an
invitation to amble. Who could not feel an urge,
as the naturalist John Muir once put it, to
"throw a loaf of bread and a pound of tea in an
old sack and jump over the back fence", I could
set off from home, fly over 2,000 miles from
Georgia and fly over the rough and wild wilderness few have ever seen.
A little voice in my head says: "Sounds neat!
Let's do it!" I've formed a number of
rationalizations. It would get me fit after years
flying around the pattern and wandering back and
forth to Florida. It would be an interesting and
reflective way to acquaint myself with the scale
and beauty of my native land. It would be useful
(I not quite sure in what way, but I am sure
nonetheless) to learn to fend for myself in the
wilderness and live off the land (eat those
orange crackers at the FBO every meal).
When the guys in leather jackets and pop-up tents
sit around the campfire talking about fearsome
things done in the air, I would no longer have to
feel like such a cupcake. I want a little of that
swagger that comes with being able to gaze at a
far horizon through eyes of chipped granite and
say with a slow, manly sniff, "Yeah, I've shit in the woods too."
Then I came gradually to realize that this is way
beyond=AD way beyond =AD anything I had attempted
before. For instance, the woods of Alabama are
full of peril =AD rattlesnakes and water moccasins
and nests of copperheads; bobcats, bears,
coyotes, wolves, and wild boar; hillbillies
destabilize by gross quantities of impure corn
liquor and generations of profoundly unbiblical
sex; rabies-crazed skunks, raccoons, and
squirrels; merciless fire ants and ravening
blackfly; poison ivy, poison sumac, poison oak,
and poison salamanders; even a scattering of
moose lethally deranged by a parasitic worm that
burrows a nest in their brains and befuddles them
into chasing hapless campers through remote,
sunny meadows to their death =85 and that=92s just
Alabama! I've heard four separate stories
(always related with a chuckle) of campers and
bears sharing tents for a few confused and lively
moments; stories of fliers abruptly vaporized
("tweren't nothing left of him but a scorch
mark") by tree trunk-sized bolts of lightning
when caught in sudden storms and sent spinning on
to distant valley floors. If you're lucky you can
hope to spend the rest of your life propped in a
chair with a bib around your neck. "What is
certain is that it is a long, long way, and it is
not easy. Then you carry: a three-season tent,
self-inflating sleeping pad, assorted pots and
pans, collapsible eating utensils, plastic dishes
and cups, stuff sacks, patching kit, sleeping
bag, bungee cords, water bottles tie downs,
waterproof matches, a big knife for killing bears
and hillbillies, insulated long johns and
undershirts, four bandannas, and lots of other stuff.
"This wouldn't be so bad, I told myself. But
secretly I know that I am quite wrong. Maybe when
I'm older and don't have so much to lose? Maybe
next year - when I have a new engine.
Yeah....next year would be good, right Larry?
