I strongly encourage you to contact Ivo for a consultation. I've found
them to be very helpful.

Subject: Kolb-List: prop repair
This from another list: (no, I didn't do it!)
I made a hard landing tonight (PPC) and my Ivo prop nicked my upper
strut. I have another strut but one blade on the prop has a slightly
damaged tip. It looks like it is delaminated slightly. I heard that
super glue and baking soda would fix it. If anyone knows how, please
post ASAP. I want to fly Saturday.
I suspect tip repairs aren't the same as a small nick. Any replies
will be forwarded.
regards,
Bob N.

Hi Bob,
If it were mine and the damage is not too extensive I would cut both
tips on a twenty degree angle as per Terry Frantz / Jack Hart . They
both give reports of excellent results in performance AND NOISE
REDUCTION.
An example of the tip profile can be seen at ,,,,,,

Dave and Group,
I, also, have an interest in the HKS. I just didn't want to be the first one to
put one on a Firestar. So, I will be following your reports on this project.
I've been away from my Firestar for the summer, but I'll be back in a few weeks,
and ready to start flying and working on it again.

Guys,
I will refer you to the link below. I believe it's going to be a movie that we
all can appreciate and perhaps relate to. I'm proud of it because maybe I had
a little influence. Many years ago while living in So.Calif. I knew Tony before
he became "star and big producer". I had an Aeronca K at the time and flew
it to an antique fly in, about a hundred miles up the coast. I asked Tony if
he would like to go along and take the controls up and back. He jumped at the
opportunity and we had a pleasant day, flying and visiting the fly in. Just
maybe that experience encouraged him to continue with his flying.

Super glue is useless for delaminations but is perfect for nicks in the
blade.
With a file clean out all loose material and smooth any bulged edges.
Put a couple teaspoons of baking soda in a shallow container so you can
easily pinch a hefty finger of it.
With the nick as level as you can get it, carefully wet the surface of the
nick with super glue and immediately sprinkle on enough baking soda to
completely dry it. Careful, it will dry instantly. On wood props in
particular make sure to wet every nook & cranny. A layer of masking tape on
each side under the nick will keep any overflows from sticking to the blade.
Continue wetting and sprinkling until the patch is slightly wider and taller
than the nick. Then file it down to match the prop.
Works on wood or composite.
George

Hi All, Eureka, I passed the S.P. practical test today and have my
temporary airman certificate in hand. Now I need to take the Repairman LSA
Inspection Airplane, course, and pass that test. The closest course I can
find to me is in Fredrick Md. ( 150 miles away, I don`t have an address
yet, just the name of the city.) If anyone can recommend a hotel or motel,
close to where the course is being given, it would be a great help in my
planning. Lanny Fetterman, TOTALLY LEGAL TO

Lanny,
Congratulations on the test pass! Cannot help with info on the hotel issue, just
offering an "ataboy" for you, on something I hope I will also someday be accomplishing.
I figured, the list is slow lately, so no one would mind a Kolb pat on the back...!

My memory may be failing me on this but it (my memory) is currently
telling me that I was taught in A&P school to REPLACE the spark plug
washer with the CHT thermocouple ring, not stack them. When I asked why
(which I did a lot), I was told that if you do not, the reach or the
location of the spark gap would be different from the design distance.
May not make that much difference, but that is what I remember being
told. So that is what I've always done. And yes, annealing the old ones
when re-using them was also taught in A&P school.

I learned the same as an apprentice: no plug washer with sensor
washer. And annealing.

That is what I've always done - 503 dual-carb CDI - 700 hours.
Plugs ..every 25 hours, whether they need it or not.
Just the cost of doing business.

PS ---- I use the expensive plugs too, so it hurts (just a little).
"So ....did you jump son? Yeah Dad .... just a little!"
You know the joke.

Logical answers from both schools, so now I am confused. Can't remember how
I did it on Continentals... seems like I left them off if there was a
sensor, and my old A&P buddy is away camping for a month.

Hi Lanny,
Try Frederick Aviation, 800.545.9393. Tell them you're a pilot and
need a 'crew rate'. Explain you're airlining in for business. They should
have a good range of hotels and prices at the ready.
Good on ya for passing!!
