Hi Ralph/Gang,
I know one of the tanks is busted. The other may be ok, I'd just have to
check. They came out of a Twinstar and have holes in the bottom for the fuel
lines.
I would give them to whoever wants them. I would be willing to just ship the
caps to Ed or whoever if Ed doesnt want them. If someone wanted the tank,
if it's any good, I might ask for some shipping cost.
Later,
John Cooley

John, If Ed isn't, I sure would be, including the gas tanks. how much would
you want for them? Mine is origional 1990 production as dated by mfgr on
molded bottom.
I epoxied a small crack near the right rear corner up near the 5 gal. level.
It appears to hold well but I have not been able to find a 10 x 10 x 14 inch
heavy walled poly tank as used in the Forestar.

Sounds to me like folks are thinking two different definitions with
regard to the term fuel cell. Here is what Merriam-Webster says about
"fuel cell".
http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/fuel%20cell
That is the kind of fuel cell that is supposed to keep our
grandchildren from running out of gas when we are long gone.
I've heard the fuel bladders like those used in some race cars called
fuel cells but that is not standard usage. Of course we have lots of
non-standard users of English on this list, so who cares?

Yah, the gadget in that definition is a fuel cell, but the automotive fuel

Morning All:
Kolb has new 6 gal plastic fuel tanks for $25.00. Same dimensions as
old tanks, except a few inches taller.
5 gal tanks are $20.00.
This was the price stickers on the tanks at OSH.
Call Travis at Kolb and check'em out.

John, Sounds like the aged problem I have also, if one of the tanks is busted.
Once they breakdown, there they are. That UV lasts a long time but on mine having
the upper area exposed for 16 years does take it's toll.
I have an aduquate cap right now. It's not in bad shape. I have found some other
tanks, even a 10 x 10 x 24 that would do the job, but the manufacturer doesn't
make it with the proper "skin" coating and therefore recoments that it not
be used for lawn mower gas tank (wink, wink). I'm not sure how long a life it
would have. At $74.00 plus shipping and fill hole kit, I'm not about to experiment.
Thanks for your offer,
Ohio Ralph

Now I can truly go far and wide and see this vision that they say that the world

Here are some closeups of the mechanism. The detent with the holes in it is bolted
on to the flat front part of the original detent piece. The handle is modified
by making it longer (easier to pull flaps on, more leverage) and also bent
a bit to fit under my lowered windshield.
I drilled a hole through the handle tube and welded in a bushing, and then drove
a roll pin into the bushing. I located the holes for the various flap detent
positions by attaching that piece to where it needed to be, and then scruffing
the roll pin up and down on several times, that showed me where the holes could
fall in line. Had to do some grinding/tweaking to make everything line up.
Finally, I welded a retainer to the handle which bends around to keep the handle
from moving very far to the right. You have to tuck the detent piece into
place before you put the screws into it.
With this system, I have about 3 degrees up, neutral, about three degrees down,
10 degrees down, 20 degrees down, and 30 dgrees down. Not quite as much as Kolb
originally had, but that is deliberate. If you have 40 degrees of flaps and
have to go around or flare with a heavy passenger, you sort of run out of elevator
authority. Having a bit less flaps helps cure that, and it still lands about
as short as it did with 40 degrees.
Having 3 degrees up reduces the need for as much up elevator trim when carrying
a passenger. And when I get light on fuel, 3 degrees down also helps it trim
better. Due to differences in airplane weights and pilot weights, your results
may vary.

That technique works very well in GA aicraft also. If you have an engine out and
need to glide to the runway, you need to retract the flaps, its the same for
a Kolb or a GA aircraft.
This guy took what is considered a good rule of thumb ( do not retract flaps on
approach ) and applied it across the board, which is just plain stupid. If
you are in an emergency situation, and have flaps down for the approach, and
the engine quits, retracting the flaps might get you enough extra glide to make
the runway.
That technique saved my butt once in a Cessna 152.

Hope throwing a Mark III into this discussion won't offend.
Finally got to fly the Mark III over T or C NM airport this morning.
Here are the numbers: 532 engine time unknown, about 6-8 gallons of
fuel,estimated ( not always working gauge on one of two tanks indicated
1/4 full) and I am about 160 pounds, 7300 feet density altitude, full
throttle was right at 6250 RPMs, 50 mph air speed indicated with climb
rate 500 feet per minute showing.
Cruise straight and level sorta, slightly over 70 mph, turning 6250 at
5,500 feet altitude indicated. Temperatures okay, but still have to
replace one CHT sensor and some mismatched washers, one eraser rubber
weird shock motor mount not Lord type and is on side where it probably
doesn't do much, sort out some of the mystery wiring. Tighten passenger
side door hook forward ... lot of drag there I am sure. Cosmetic need
for better visibility through the abused plexiglass or lexan.
What about the climb and cruise? In the ball park? Feels like I have
rigging close, finally, with help of a taped on rig aileron trim tab.
Don't have to get cramps in arm pushing stick to the right.
Almost hands off for a minute or so today.

Gonna see if my A&P friend can understand it. There's also another A&P here
who is a CFI and built a Kolb no-flapper. Will get back to you.
Just posted one on mornings brief event. You can probably respond better

Anyone retracting flaps in any part of a flight should remember to do
so GENTLY and SMOOTHLY, always watching the airspeed like a hawk. And
knowing what your stall speeds are first.
Very easy to get into trouble here, but flaps can be milked off to
get better glide and range, and can make all the difference when
trying to 'stretch the glide' for any reason. You'll glide the
furthest with flaps fully retracted.

Apologies to the board on my "cruise" speed. It appears that I took certain liberties
not applicable to the flying world.
The word "cruise" means: sail, journey, travel, coast, motor, speed and glide.
That is according to the "Word and Works" software word processor on my computer.
Under THAT set of meanings, my Firestar I KXP 503 DIDC with 66 inch wooden two
blade prop and plane weighing in at 354# empty, with a 220# driver will 'CRUISE"
at 80-85 MPH ASI flat flying (no descend or climb) and without any winds.
You-all see, I was under the impression that 'CRUISE" was the speed at which an
aircraft (in our case) flies with designed attitude and is the (excuse me golfers)
"sweet spot" in the engine rpm range, being most efficient regarding EGT
and CHT while consuming the least amount of fuel (economy mode), and not requiring
ANY back-stick or forward-stick.
I am sadly (actually happily) mistaken. My Firestar can flat lick the drawers off
any other Kolb out there (with the same engine ), except the ...............WELL
THERE AIN'T ANY KOLB, equally equipped that I can't beat. So forget my previous
winnings. Now if anyone else with a Kolb Firestar equipped with a 503
DIDC and 66" prop wants to have theirs as fast, let me know.
However, If I was correct in my previous assumption, then I will probably need
some help.

Had to learn to resize some pictures. They are attached.
The one with the instruments should be big enough to enlarge and read the ASI and
the GPS as well as the two Glass engine and flight gauges. Man, I love thoses

The last one or first one with the white buildings is the world famous Poultry
#4 layer. Chicken City where the chickens lay 3 eggs every two days. Somehow they

Man, A piece of History that really shouldn't be put on a plane and flown. It's
an origional John Hauck. The history of that engine should be at the Smithsonian,
it's priceless.
And a MOVIE STAR was interested in it. That should add value. I heard that it's
John Travolta! I could be wrong.
Ohio Ralph, pickin-an-a-grinnin here in Ohio!
Why would John Travolta want a 912, other than the Hauck once owned it, and it
could only appreciate in value? Afterlaa doesn't John Travolta have a couple jets?

Do not know the correct speed for flaps on my MkIIIC, but I don't even
try to pull on full flaps above 50 ias. Not sure that I would have the
strength at 55 or more. Vic

It ought to be doing a bit better than that. Stay at it, and a year from
now it will be doing 80+ at 6250, and climb will be at least 200 fpm
better. Congratulations on your progress so far.

Thanks,

This is my first message to the Kolb list. I have been lurking on this
list for quite some time. I would like some info on the location of a
Hot Box in a Firestar11. Also, battery location so that I can send the
information to Hot Box. For my harness. I am looking for the dimensions
for a motor base plate for a 503 or to purchase one if anyone has one.
Is it better to ground to the battery or to the aircraft frame? Do I
need to do a weight and balance before installing the battery? Hope this
message makes it to the list.
Thanks for all the good reads and ideas.

PS. To John Hauck tried to hook up with you at Oshkosh to pick your
brain and introduce you to a friend, I was the guy on the black
motorcycle that waved at you Wed evening.
