Hey, Nice Gates/ Microsoft propaganda you got there. Do you pay them or do that for free? Remember, Bill needs your cash. Internet Explorer" and "Modern World" used in the same sentence = oxymoron.

This forum is for all Kolb people. I will put my airplane skills against any ( except John H.) However I'm a computer nerd. I can handle plain e-mail and such, but not talk about URL's , XYZ's, PDQ's and all the other gibberish computer know it alls throw out there. When they quit using vacuum tubes, I got lost. I repeat, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I wouldn't be surprised if there aren't others out there who feel the same way. Like David says below, Quit looking a gift horse in the mouth !!!

Been flying over 50 hours at the same prop setting I started out at, derived from the prop calc program. It was good enough to get me in the air and get familiar (read: overcome fear of unfamiliar contraption) with my plane. The Suzuki has a peak torque at 3800 rpm and a peak HP at 5700. I picked a happy medium that gave me about 4650 at the beginning of the takeoff roll and get 5000 WOT straight and level. The nice thing about it is the torque gives you a nice steady push throughout the process. The weakness is that if you pitch it for max HP, the fuel efficiency falls off. There is a camshaft available that moves the torque and HP peaks closer together that I am considering. Anyway, recently I took some pitch out to see what one degree will do with my rpm. Drenching rain prevents a test. Reason for change: curiosity overcame laziness and I would like to haul another butt into the air. -BB do not archive mushrooms growing out there ________________________________ Message 9 _____________________________________ Time: 10:37:39 AM PST US From: jerb Subject: Re: Kolb-List: FULL MOON --> Kolb-List message posted by: jerb Rob, I think what been posted is not complaining except maybe your post itself and the gent that wants everyone else to abandon the old established email client style system for accessing the list info. I do believe a few voiced there feelings with that being necessary to show there are more than him that use the service and are happy with it as it is and there is no need for a change. Perhaps you need to screen messages, learn how to use the delete key and thicken your skin a little. Let get on with it. jerb At 10:38 AM 7/12/2006, you wrote: >--> Kolb-List message posted by: > >Do you all get crabby every time it's the full moon. I'm reading a >lot of complaining.

Not really sure about the airplane skills though... One real gripe though. Listers who WILL quote the entire post to which they are responding. All they have to do is block the portion of the post referred to, copy and paste. Just as I have done above.

The single carb has to be massaged - just a little. I've flown a 447 with points - on a KXP for at least 400 hours before this one - they are/were finicky little engines, they want everything to be just right. But...when everything is right, they are hard to beat - you know what I mean. I've got 698 hours now without a decarb - really. 1999 Engine 503 E-gear box (Going for the record "800 hours") No carbon yet. Compression still 120 per cylinder - (like new) "outa the box" Still checking with the dental mirrors and intake and exhaust manifolds off (flashlight down the plug holes) every 50 or so hours. Gotta repaint my muffler once in a while anyway - wish I'd got it chromed when it was new.. Just a test guys - so don't flame me. Don't try this at home. I'm at the Ferguson Farm & I'm JUST the test pilot for "this one" anyway. Never had the jugs off - never had the engine even hick up. And I know that's not what the book says.(Where no man has gone before - 800 hr on a 503 CDI no decarb). We who are about to die - salute you. BUT - GUYS! I GOT A BRAND NEW 65 HP "-----" AIR COOLED ENGINE. SITTING IN THE BOX - JUST WAITING FOR ME TO TEST FLY or BREAK IT. WEIGHT = 92 LBS. - 13 EXTRA HP! JUST GOTTA BREAK THIS ONE FIRST! I KNOW I CAN DO IT - ANY SUGGESTIONS FROM THE PEANUT GALLEY?
