Hey John M.
I can help a little on this. Just went through the same thing. I had a freind
who helped me. Some may know him from MV 2004 - Bruce Williams (Kitfox). He
loves to play with fiberglass. He has built a couple of glass planes. He basically
worked on this while I worked on some other stuff.
This is what I ordered from Aircraft Spruce. Not sure if you are talking about
just a few small cracks or worse. I deformed mine to where it lost it's original
shape. If your job is smaller, may not need all this. We had some material
left over. It wasn't cheap and it was a lot of labor (sanding). Think I spent
about $100.00 plus sandpaper. New cone was over $400.
Need to epoxy prime, sand smooth to fill and blend and if necessary prime one more
time before final finish coats.
09-00100 DACRON FABRC 1.8 OZ X 64" #611 (release fabric)
4533-60 S-GLASS-STYLE 4533 5.8 OZ. 60" (Bi-directional)
01-07355 VINYL ESTER 411-350PA 1G KIT
If you need more help, Bruce would be the one to really talk to. Contact me off-list.
Check the before and after pictures to see what I was up against. Hope this was
helpful. Got to remember to put thee attactments in backwards order!

Thanks too much,

--> Kolb-List message posted by: Scott Perkins <2scott@bellsouth.net>
Finding out about the new Ultrastar and twin-engine-Flyer yahoo group
got me to thinking about the Kolb Flyer again.
The europeans have been perfecting the power plants for the backpack
powered paragliders for over ten years now and recently I saw a 14-HP
4-stroke with electric starter and reduction drive that weighed
45 pounds !
Two of them would be the CATS MEOW on the Kolb Flyer.....
Twin redundant 4-stroke engines w/eletric start.....
Just like the AIR CAM ! ( except FAR 103 legal ! )
Does anyone know of the existence of any Flyers anywhere ?
here is the new Yahoo Group for the out-of-date hi-boom Kolbs.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KolbUltrastar/
here are 4 pages of Ultrastar Thumbnails

John, The rule is that you can put epoxy over polyester, but not the other
way around. Prep the area with 220 grit sandpaper tapering out 2" either
side of the crack, use peel ply over the patch so it won't lift the edges
and also to save a lot of time filling the weave for finish.

I forgot in my earlier response to give this site as good info for our Facet pumps.
Far more than I had imagined for thoses of you using Facet pumps that thought they
had anti-siphoning or checkvalves, etc. One size does not fit all. Now my
instructor tells me he will not even consider flying my Kolb if I do not install
filter BEFORE pump. Whats a guy to do? Haa! Ha! So amny opininons, so little
time. Guess thats why they call it experimental!

Yep. Chutes are compulsory for ultralights in Germany. Few years ago
they raised the MTOW from 450 to 472,5 kg to compensate for the
weight of the chute.
(Makes you wonder if they'll ever compensate for the weight of the
average German.)

Greetings,
I'm looking for feedback on using a Jabriu 2200cc (85hp) on the Mark111 x.
Its time to get serious about picking an engine and I know its designed for
the Rotax but I'm looking at all options.
Also, how good is the Rotax 912 S 100HP unit??
Ease of install, reliability, positives, negatives on both would be great
info.
I want to be able to carry up to 230lb passengers and possibly put it on
floats.
Thanks for your feedback.

Frank,
If you plan on floats you'll want the 912, more thrust due to the bigger
slower prop.
Plenty of 912Ss on Mk-3s with happy owners, but the 912UL is also a crowd
pleaser.
The newer Jab 2200 perform fine on the Mk-3 with 62 and 64 inch props but
the Rotax swinging 68 - 72 inch blades will give a good bit more take off
and climb performance.

Floats?? No doubt, use the 912S. Check out www.trentonflyers.com then
click on "members" then "Robert Broadwell" if you want to see a nice MkIII with
912S. Includes a very good write=up.

| Subject: | 503 Running Cold |
--> Kolb-List message posted by: Tom463@aol.com
I have a Rotax 503 DCDI, with oil injection, on a Firestar II. The engine
is about 50 hours out from a total rebuild and has been performing flawlessly,
except during the past 5 or 6 hours, it has started running cold. The EGT's
stay around 9 and 10 on the gauges at 5000 RPM, which is where I regularly
cruise. My one CHT gauge used to read around 2.5, but lately it is getting
down to 1.5 or less. I suspected a problem with the gauge; however, when I
throttle back to idle for landing, it will climb back up to between 2 and 2.5,
by
the time I'm at a full stop on the ground. The readings on the EGT's increase
and decrease in conjunction with the RPM's of the engine. The engine doesn't
seem to perform or sound any differently. The Tiny Tach says my max RPM on
take-off is 6200 on a 3 blade Warp Drive. I'm no mechanic. Any suggestions?

throttle back to idle for landing, it will climb back up to between 2 and

My guess is that either your gage or sensor or wiring is wrong. Temps should
be around 300 degrees or so; what's with the 1.5, 2.0, etc.? Can't think of
anything that would actually make CHT's go down.
I also think your max RPM on takeoff should be about 200 rpm higher; take
about 1 degree pitch out of your prop.
