Larry,
Are you drilling the dowel out to a larger size or just center drilling to
remove the pin? Have you considered using a carbide end mill to finish the job?
An end mill won't center itself like a drill bit but if the hole is almost
finished it shouldn't be a problem. Just a thought...

Anyone out there have a practical idea on how to removes the ethanol
from gas or does it have to be re-refined through a "cracker" to
eliminate it. Wish I had paid more attention in chemistry class!!!!
Just asking! Seems like if they can add it there should be a way to
remove it.

Larry,
I believe the drill bits being refered to are carbide bits.
The proper bit works great. Use a machinists bit. They are generally short (because
they are very brittle). Don't use the ones with carbide tips braised on (Masonry
type bits) They are alot cheaper but if you break them off in the hole
you've got a big problem. They are also not very accurate in size.
They work best in a drill press or milling machine because you have better control
of side loading and pressure (especially when breaking through the material
at the end of the hole).
Remember no side load if possible and just enough pressure to keep it cutting.
Don't let the bit catch as it breaks thru. Lighten the pressure. Carbides can
be run at higher speeds then high speed bits which helps at the break thru point.
Also these bits are good for drilling thru material that has been heat hardened
as in welding near-by or heated for bending.
Hope this helps.

--> Kolb-List message posted by: "boyd" <by0ung@brigham.net>
What kind of soldering flux did you use and how did you clean the excess off
before putting the cable in service? Use resin not acid flux. In my
opinion the heat was not the problem. the problem lies with the corrosive
properties of the soldering flux left behind in the process. In second
thought the heat could have caused some of the oils in the cable to burn
out. Re OILING the cable after cleaning off the excess flux should provide
good results. Remember when the solder wicks into the cable the flux is
forced further up the cable strands. so cleaning and re oiling is vital.

Ps just red ray's post and he is right on.
--> Kolb-List message posted by: ray anderson <rsanoa@yahoo.com>
In my humble opinion, one should NEVER use any flux on the cables except
resin.
At the same time, with me a big no-no is never heat them with a torch, but a
medium heat soldering iron. I have soldered many cable ends, and other
sensitive
wires,etc. using this combination. Then when finished, brush the area with
alcohol. Have never seen any change in strength or evidence of corrosion.

On examination, there was noticeable discoloration from the point that was
soldered,
back about 1". The general consensus, of those that examined it, was that
the break was caused by the effect on the cable of the heat application.
(The
failure may have been accelerated by the humid conditions here in FL.) The
cable actually rusted through. Miffed that I didn't see the rust before it
broke. Some of the discoloration/rust protruded from the connector enough
to
be seen. Conceptually a good idea, with not so good results.

For soldering cables I made a solder pot out of 3/4 inch diameter pipe about
1 inch long welded to a flat piece of steel. Make it leak proof. I filled
it with silver solder and I heat it up with a propane torch until the solder
is liquid. I dip the cable end in silver solder flux then dip it in the
molten solder for about 30 seconds. Pull the cable out and tap the end on
the solder pot to remove excess. When the joint cools dip it in clear
polyurethane to seal it from moisture. Takes longer to describe the process
than do the process.

I think if I was going to hang that much weight on a MKIII, it would be
one of Bill Wynn's Corvairs. 110HP continuous, 200 ft lbs of torque, six
cylinder smooth, 10 pounds more weight including electric start and a
muffled exhaust.
For 1/3 the price. Snoop around his web pages. Too heavy IMO, but
interesting.

beauford,
Then ther is the other side of the fence (track). Me! I have spent about 15 hours
over 8 months learning how to fly a "flying Log (Challenger). Since I am 6'-1"
and 230 # and my instructor is 6'-0" and weighs 200# and we only put 5 gal
in the tank, we come mighty close to the max for the log on a 1,000 foot strip
for a newby. I gave up the scooter , the weather is warm, I would be, should
be, could be, riding ....BUT NOOOOOOOOO!
I am waiting for calm, cool, evenings and weekends to get the landing part down
pat. Oh forsooth! If nothing else to this point, i have : new wiring, new gauges,
electric fuel pump as well as mechanical, new full windsheid, did I mention
new wiring and have learned to take, off fly and almost land. And have gained
a new respect for anyone that can operate a motorcycle on ice 1,000 feet off
the ground! Oh, I didn't mention, but it is important...I have learned P A T
I E N T S! Well, almost. Then I begin to loose interest and then, I see some
of these pictures of youz guys flying and get re-invigorated. Go figure!

For all the times I have had to stop and wait for somebody in the troupe to
do a roadside repair and all the time I've spent fixing the mistakes of so
called Harley mechanics, all I can say is good luck. I've often referred to
radial aircraft engines as 3 1/2 Shovelhead engines, but the thought of the
old "Vibraglide" pushing me though the air is about as far I ever go with
it. For the price and the weight (whew, talk about a hog), why not get an
O-200 and rid yourself of the reduction drive? You'd still be almost 20 lb.
lighter.

Thanks, John. I think you're right, but I don't want to fool with it
anymore, and even if I did get it drilled, how would I cut threads in it for
the slide hammer ?? Filling it with heavy oil and using a punch sounds
interesting, and seems like it should work, assuming I could get a
horizontal hole completely filled........but what if it didn't ?? As you
say, breaking a bit or tap in there is very possible - even probable - and
then I'd REally have a problem. The welder will be here at 10:00 AM
tomorrow, and we'll get the fool thing out and move on.

In all serious-ness, I gave heavy thought to the 0-200 when I started all
this, because you're right - it's got the torque without the reduction
drive, it's bulletproof, (or very close to it) many of them out
there.......(uh - not really - read on) simple, etc., etc. Then I found
that there is an 0-200A which is what you'll find all over, on Cessna 150's,
etc. We would want the 0-200B which apparently has the thrust bearing area
machined differently for a pusher application. Never did really chase after
one, but haven't ever noticed one, either. I believe they're quite rare.
Then I talked to Klaus at Lightspeed Aviation, who is using the 0-200A with
pleasure and success on his Long EZ's. (I think) Go figure.

Do my ears deceive me? Is Larry actually considering thoughts of DEFEAT
regarding the vee dub on Vamoose?
On Barnstormers, RIGHT NOW, there is a 912 for sale.
Less than 100 hours, comes off Ralph Kew's Mark-III.
$12,000. You could be flying next month.
But then again, what fun is a bolt-on, go-fly, reliable engine? If you
finished Vamoose, then what would be left to talk about on this List? ;-)

| Subject: | Kolb Wings for Sale |
--> Kolb-List message posted by: Kirby Dennis Contr MDA/AL <Dennis.Kirby@kirtland.af.mil>
Kolb Friends -
One of our former List members whom I've kept in contact with has just
posted the following ad on Barnstormers:
For Sale: Set of two Kolb Mark-III wings with flaps and aileron
counterbalances. One wing needs some tip repair. Set of Horiz & Vert Stabs.
Best Offer each. Contact Ralph Kew, 202-437-1580.
I know Ralph, and have seen his nicely finished Mark-III (built by Jim Lee)
and his Firestar that he keeps near his home in Virginia. Of course, I
asked Ralph what happened, when I saw his ad for "airplane wings for sale."
Here's what he told me:
"On final approach and about 25 feet AGL, came under the tree line and the
wind stopped. Lost most of the air speed / lift but kept some of the
horizontal speed, so dropped in a 45 degree angle. Bent both landing gear
and bent the cage to a point of no return. Plowed the field for about 15
feet. The 912 kept on running and it's OK. Is also for sale on Barnstormers.
I made it out with out a scratch, thanks God. A miracle."
I was glad to hear Ralph is OK. One more testimonial for the crashworthy
design of these Kolb cages.

Here's a link to the company that seems to be the forerunner of the Skyray link referred to in another post: http://www.hog-air.com/hogindex.htm
He used to show some performance specs but I couldn't find 'em since Skyray's now
in the picture. As I recall, though, he was running the engine at a fairly
high RPM (3500+) to get the good HP/Torque values. Which is a lot higher than
I run on the highway in my Geezer Glide.
HD's Evo and TwinCam engines are a heckuva lot more reliable than the Shovels (still
the best sounding HD engine, IMO). And, the reduction drive is no more
than the standard HD primary case turned vertical. Plus fuel injection, if you
want it. On the downside, I'm not sure if dual ignition is available or not.
As for weight. gotta be sure we're comparing apples to apples. 205 lbs all up,
including mount, etc. Comparing to the Corvair (and 0-200) and to quote William
Wynne (FlyCorvair.com), "I have a lot of data that shows the Corvair has an
installed flying weight of about 225-230 lbs. .... This is slightly below the
installed weight of a typical O-200 Continental.".
For the cost difference, "user base" and experience with the engine, I'm liking
the VW more & more.
Just my 2 pesos' worth to add to the confusion ...

Dennis K/Gang:
For sure!
Without Larry's dune buggy engine and redrive, there would be very
little info to share on this list, unless one wanted solder some
throttle cables. Was wondering...........at what point in the life of
my little airplane am I supposed to buy solder and do my cables?????
Undoubtedly, haven't reached that plateau yet.

Defeat ?? Whazzat ?? Nope........redirection, but probably not to a 912.
I'd like to have one, but just can't afford one. That redrive does get one
more chance, and, far as I know, the engine is just fine. Do

Again, Dennis, ya got that right.
Another testimonial that Kolbs do not fly below stall speed, with or
without factoring in the tree line, mysterious phantom winds, and poor
pilotage.
Landing at 25 feet AGL will also break your mkIII. How do I know?
Well........really I don't know about 25 feet, but I do know 30 feet
will wipe the landing gear off the bottom of my mkIII, knock the
glasses off my nose and out from under David Clark ear cups, and put
big black and blue marks on the bottom of my thighs from the forward
seat tube, and contusions on my skinny shins from the bottom of the
instrument panel. I had my flaps at 20 degrees. Maybe that is why my
mkIII did not get as much damage as Ralph's. I do know that pilotage
has nothing to do with final results, because once the mkIII stalls at
25 feet, the pilot becomes an instant passenger. hehehe Voice of
experience. ;-)

Looking on as a casual observer, seems you may have invested enough
time and money to buy a quality used 912, and had 1,500 or more hours
of flight time on your mkIII.
Maybe next year you can give rides in your VW powered mkIII at MV.
Sure hope so. Should have all the bugs worked out of the bug motor by
then.
Take care,

Call me cynical, but I've met this guy a dozen times. The conversation
always goes something like this........
"Say, I hear you're the guy to talk to about (pick flying associated topic,
mine was always hang gliding)"
"Yeah, I fly, do you?"
"I've got this really cool new design that's going to blow everything else
away"
Long explanation about his new design ensues...
"That sounds really interesting" More polite than saying "What a bunch of
B*** S***.
"So how much flying time have you got? Where do you fly?"
"You don't understand, I've got this new design.............."

In my haste to extoll the virtues of masonry bits, I forgot one other

area. Some shop always has an electric discharge tap burner. Worth a try.

Klause has a Varieze that he's been modifying for years. O2BAD pulls almost
140 HP from the O-200 and gets a top speed in excess of 240 Kts.
