"As the nose drops, you ease the stick forward while adding power to
arrest the descent.">>
Hi,
that may be fine on an exercise when you are expecting a stall but
pretty useless in real life. `Stick forward and opposite rudder` is all
you really need. Forget the engine, it is the wing that stalls and as
with most things lowering the angle of attack will sort it out. In fact
unless you are entering a really viscious stall a slight release of
back pressure wil do.
Talk to a glider pilot. Incipient spins and stalls form a major part of
the training. Glider pilots spent the majority of their time in rough
thermals, steeply banked and teetering on the edge of a stall because
you climb faster that way.
On the appraoch the low and slow final turn is a particularly dangerous
spot because the wind gradient may well give a difference of 10 knots
difference in windspeed beetween the wing tips on a long sailplane
wing. If you are near the stall the up wing may be just above the stall
but the lower wing could stall and quit flying. Turning `flat` because
you are too close to the ground is worse as your outside wing will speed
up and tend to rise while the inside wing will slow down and could
stall. Classic spin entry.
With the Kolbs shorter wing the effect is not so pronounced but a
similar situation is present.
Cheers
Pat

full stick forward while taxiing up wind or at the start of the takeoff
roll, >>
Hi Rick
certainly don`t agree with the first part,stick back holds the tail down
but stick forward when you open the throttle seems pretty obvious. As
soon as the propwash hits the elevator the tail is up, just a matter of
feet, and you have full control.
I have seen somewhere that the STOL technique is stick right back, full
throttle, and it wiill fly itself off. Presumably you have to get the
stick forward a bit smartish when you lift off or you will be just
hanging on the prop.
Does anybody actually takeoff that way. John? you must have had to get
out out of some tight spots. How is it done?

Pat and others, I normally do a short-field takeoff every time I fly
even in the windiest conditions. Full back stick and full throttle. It
lifts off fast! As soon as it breaks ground, the stick goes forward
and then I climb as normal.

On my MkIII I recently tried my old "pop off" technique that worked so
impressively with my old Aeronca. (11AC had a higher stance than a
Champ and a 74-43 metal climb prop) It would suddenly jump off
at a steep angle. Stick full back from the beginning of the roll.
Very short, 200-300 ft ground run.
When using the same method, the Kolb just wants to stay stuck on the
ground.
It actually extends the roll and feels unhappy doing it. Now I
relax the stick and coax it off.
I'm sure with longer legs things would be different.
Maybe I'll give that one notch takeoff a try today.

When I use to fly my PA-11 and the wind was down the runway, I use to
add power and forward stick. As soon as the tail came up, it was ready
to fly. If the wind was from the side, I would hold the stick back to
put pressure on the tail wheel until the rudder would hold it straight.
I think that my Mk IIIC will be the same, but have yet to build enough
confidence to do crosswind practice. Vic in Sacramento

My Titan (and all Titans) had the battery in the nose and was still a bit tail
heavy. Mine required a 180 lb pilot to get the CG inside the required range. Lighter
Titan pilots add weight to the nose even with the battery.
With the proper sized cables running to the starter I never had a problem starting
in the cold Buffalo winters.
Speaking of GPS, I just upgraded to the Airmap 2000C and have an Airmap 100 for
sale. If anyone is interested, contact me directly at jtriddle_at_adelphia.net
replace the "_at_" with the ampersand. I have the RAM cradle and two types
RAM mounts plus the 12v cig. lighter power adapter.

You know, one the easiest things in aviation has to be handling a Kolb on
take off because you really don't have to do much more than use the rudder
to keep it in the middle of the strip.
Kolbs (God bless em) do it for you, you push forward a little to much and it
may do a nose stand for you, you pull back and it just extends the take off
roll but if you just hold the stick loosely (figure of speech) in the
neutral position and lo and behold, the tail comes up exactly when it is
supposed to and a gentle back pressure sends you skyward. For me this method
works in all situations even in stout cross winds.
You really don't have to "over fly" a Kolb and you don't have to second
guess it.

Morning Gang:
Departing hauck's holler very shortly for a road trip north to Homer
Kolb's. Have not been to Homer's since I came through that way in
1994, on my way around the country in the mkIII.
Will have a chance to see the 1985 OSH Grand Champion Ultralight, a
refurbished Kolb Firestar. Might even talk Homer into flying it
around the patch.
However, the primary purpose of this trip, in addition to visiting the
Kolbs, is the Rough and Tumble Steam and Gas Engine Show at Kinzers,
PA, about 30 miles west of Homer's. As some of you all know, Homer
has been a John Deere tractor collector for many years. Fortunately
or unfortunately, the tractor bug bit me a couple years ago. This bug
causes a terrible disease called "tractor fever". It is incurable.
This trip will keep "tractor fever" in remission for a short period of
time.
I will take my lap top and cell phone with me, 334-315-2621. Planning
an op stop in Winchester, VA, either on the north or south. Will
inform Grey Baron of ETA when I can confirm it.
Hope to see some of my PA friends while at Homer's.
Take care,

John,
If you swing West on your way home and pass near Pittsburgh., drop me a line
and try to stop in and RON here.
Neither of my birds are flying this year (or last) :-( but they are
available for inspection.
I have a great little Farmall Cub with the Woods belly mower. I'll make
sure to have a few acres available for your mowing pleasure. :-) Ought to
be enough of a fix to get you right for your trip back to "Hanks"ville.
I'll even have a dirt bike available for an off road fix too.

John, I, like Planecrazzy Mike appreciate your heorics and your advise. However,
Mike and I differ in teh fact that If you pass central Ohio, (like Columbus
area) during meal time, I'll let you buy me a steak! You and I could proctice
soluting each other and I polish some brass buckles and streighten my gig line
for you.
Whoo........................., to the unindated, that sounds dirty. Sorry John,
Just send me (after signing) the check Mike is sending you. You don't need any
more money, you'l just buy more "green" stuff.
Ohio Ralph, fasting for the big day, here in Ohio!

No son, I was born in a mess-kit at the end of WW-II (the big one), and some of
that rubbed off of me when I was a drill Sergeant! My purpose was to remove
the rough edges from snot nosed kids! He He!
After they riffed me, I moved to babble-on, wherest I was able to meet the nice
respectable, kind, appreciative, educated individuals such as yourself.
But thank you for the kindness!.........Now get down and give me 50!

| Subject: | New Incoming Message Size Limit Implemented... |
--> Kolb-List message posted by: Matt Dralle <dralle@matronics.com>
Dear Listers,
Due to a number of requests to limit the size of incoming posts to the Lists because
of the recently added enclosure feature, I have add a new filter that will
limit the total size of any given message posted to the List. I have initially
set the limit to 2MB
and we'll see how everyone likes that.
If a member attempts to post a message that is greater than the set limit, they
will receive an email back indicating that their message wasn't posted to the
List and why. Also included in the message will be the current size limit and
how large their message
was.
Some might say that 2MB is still too large, but its a place to start...
Best regards,
Matt Dralle

I'm waiting with bated breath (well, I did have a cheap beer,
perhaps making it baited breath) the imminent (or perhaps, eminent?)
grand entrance from the skies above Winchester VA, of his supreme
Kolbness, John of Hauck! Listserv-wise, this more than somewhat adds
polish to my already brilliant escutcheon.
His previous visit to our quaint village here in the provinces
culminated in a Mobile Mansion goosenecked to a Fire-breathing
Diesel. This time we offer a pallet, bedded with fragrant new-mown
crabgrass, serenaded by our new neighbors' four miserable junkyard
dawgs.
Welcome, Cur John..uh, that's Sir John.
regards,
Bob N.

Sorry Matt,
Totally useless filter in my opinion.
How about 150 KB ?

| Subject: | Fuel tank filler line |
--> Kolb-List message posted by: "John Hauck" <jhauck@elmore.rr.com>
Hi Mike S:
To transfer fuel from the can to the aircraft I use 6 feet of 1" OD X
7/8" ID vinyl hose. Can pick it up at anything large hardware store,
or try Lowes, Home Depot, etc.
Been using this system since I learned about it from a friend who flew
an S-1 Pitts. Was walking by his hanger one day, where he was
standing off from the airplane, holding the gas can up and
transferring fuel from can to tank via the 1" hose.
Wish I knew how much fuel I have transferred this way.

Hi John,
In a week, I will also be taking a trip north to Fredericksburg, VA. The
last two weeks I worked at the John Deere factory in Des Moines, Iowa.

(mailto:jhauck@elmore.rr.com)
However, the primary purpose of this trip, in addition to visiting the
Kolbs, is the Rough and Tumble Steam and Gas Engine Show at Kinzers,
PA, about 30 miles west of Homer's. As some of you all know, Homer
has been a John Deere tractor collector for many years. Fortunately
or unfortunately, the tractor bug bit me a couple years ago. This bug
causes a terrible disease called "tractor fever". It is incurable.
This trip will keep "tractor fever" in remission for a short period of
time.
I will take my lap top and cell phone with me, 334-315-2621. Planning
an op stop in Winchester, VA, either on the north or south. Will
inform Grey Baron of ETA when I can confirm it.
Hope to see some of my PA friends while at Homer's.
Take care,

--> Kolb-List message posted by: "Roger Lee" <ssadiver1@yahoo.com>
Hi Everyone,
Kind of a sad day. I will be selling my Mark III Classic. I am purchasing a Flight
Design CTSW. I have truely had a great time flying my Mark III and it was
my first experience with the 912uls engine. The 912s is the only way to go. Other
than one minor problem it has never given me an ounce of trouble. If you know
anyone that is interested then you can see my add on Barnstormers.
This plane was built by Dwane Woods and his brother. Some of you may know them
and they are excellent builders and pay a lot of attention to detail and spared
nothing on extras as they built. This Kolb was 2002 Grand National Champion
at Sun & Fun.
Custom aerothane paint, BRS 1050 chute, EIS, ASI, ELT, compass,
G-meter, Icom 10 channel radio, intercom, Garmen 195 GPS, fused hot box, new 6x6.00
tires, self sealing tubes, beefed up landing gear, Matco brakes, clear "D"
cell, balanced ailerons, trim, G5 grip, 3 blade Warp Drive prop, 16 gals. fuel
(3.5 hrs.), 2 fuel pumps, Navman fuel flow meter, TNK adjustable horizontal
stabilizer bracket, full swivel tailwheel, Registered ELSA (N515AB), TT A&E 780
hrs.
$28,500
If you are interested give me a call @ 520-574-1080
Tucson, Az
I will always stay in contact and continue to meet all of the Kolb people as they
have been a wonderful and informative group. That being said I don't take delivery
of my CTSW until Dec. 1, 2006. So until my Kolb sells it's time to fly.
I will also keep you informed about how the CTSW flys.
Thank All of You,
Roger Lee

You're a better man than I, Gunga Din.
Been the bilateral hernia route lifting tail of my 150C taildragger out
of deep sand at Salton Sea some years ago and too old to do that kinda
stuff now, even two handed, and definitely not one. Just ordered Petro
Pump, about $45 delivered. Comes with a four foot hose and 5 gal can.
May not be the best, but the best I can afford at the moment and don't
have a pickup for the 55 gallon drums I used to haul earlier and fill
wing tanks with a wobble pump.

| Subject: | Control Stiffness |
My ailerons were very stiff my first few flights when I first bought
my FS II. Come to find out a little lubrication in the "u-joints"
assembly on the lower end of the stick made a world of difference. Also,
make sure the tightness of the nuts and bolts on those u-joints is just
right.
