Sometimes it's tough just "getting" to the plane on a hot day>>
Hi Lar,
|Not quite up to Palm Springs standards but we have had nearly a month
with temps in the 90`s and most of us do not have air conditioning
except in some cars.
Getting to the field and just pulling the plane out and flying and
pushing her back is not so bad but to have to rig etc and then take it
all to pieces again before you can dash home, 15 minutes drive, for a
cold beer rather takes the gloss off.
Cheers

Good report. You are right on. I use to think that the J-3 Cubs were
the ultimate flying experience. But, they do not compare with the Kolb
experience.

Sorry about this leakage, guys. There was a rule in the Matronics spam filter
that was inadvertently allowing these Barclay spams through. I've modified the
rule and we should be free from that now.

Pat
Sorry to hear about your problems. Hopefully you will get it fixed
quickly and back into the air well ahead of Big Lar.
I must be missing something and I surely don't want add to your misery
but why are your trying to hold on to everything on start up? What am I
missing? The throttle should stay put unless you bump it (I don't need
to tell you that) and if it doesn't you should tighten the friction
adjustment. The stick doesn't need to be touched unless it is windy and
if you start it facing into the wind you can still let go of the stick.
I would assume you have one switch that controls the starter and mags,
if not maybe you should? The choke can be reached if you practice
without turning in your seat. I assume that with the Xtra you can reach
the instrument panel while belted in. With my MKIIIc I have to reach my
ignition/starter switch with a stick.
Sorry I just don't understand and I don't know any thing about the
Jabiru.

having to reach around for the choke sounds like a real bummer.>>
Hi,
I suppose I am just not in the groove enough yet to do it all
automatically. I have a Jabiru fitted and the choke is just above my
right shoulder. Mag switches and starter are in front but trying to hold
the stick back, hold the throttle closed and still have ahand left to
press the starter is tricky.
It is no doubt all a matter of knack which becomes second nature after
a doing it a few times.
Maybe a bit more tension to hold the throttle closed would have
sufficed. We learn.
They say experience is the best teacher, but like all good teachers
they are expensive
Cheers

| Subject: | Kolb to be burned at end of flying season |
Listers,
I have met a gentleman who has a Kolb, I believe it is a Firestar. He is a
longtime UL pilot who is disgusted with SP, tired of flying alone as the only
UL pilot in his area, and has another hobby to replace flying. He is wary of other
peoples intentions and afraid of the liability of selling the aircraft. He
has decided that burning the aircraft at the end of this flying season is the
best course of action. Now, obviously I can not, and will not reveal his name
to protect his anonymity, but I need well reasoned and heartfelt entreaties
to help him find a better way out of his difficulties. I am not a Kolb owner but
see this as a needless waste. Any suggestions?

Re: ignition location on Mark III Classic:. My panel is crowded so I
put my ignition and prop pitch control under my right knee on the port
side front of the seat panel. I made aluminum seats with cushions in
lieu of the sling seats.....it added about 5 extra pounds.

Any lawyer can sue anybody for anything. I have sold quite a few
ultralights, but never one that was flying. If it was flying, I tore it
down to kit form and then had any buyer sign an agreement to the effect
that the kit would be completed by the buyer and the buyer would assure
the airworthiness of the aircraft before flight. Nothing is fool proof,
but this the precaution that I have used and, of course, the agreement
must be signed by a witnness with contact information as a part of the
agreement. It is a shame to burn a airplane, but it looks like I am
about to burn my Mitchell B-10 because I can find nobody who wants to
complete it. My Kolb is flying so nice now that finishing that project
would waste good flying time.
