Regarding "blank messages", it may not be just Verizon. I have Adelphia.net cable
connection and several messages show up with headers but no content. Of course
that could be sender error too. Not suggesting it is, just another possible
cause.

Dear Kolb Friends -
In the spirit of sharing one's misfortunes for the benefit of others, I
offer this story that happened to me earlier this summer. I experienced my
first ground loop!
Following a normal warmup and taxi to the runway, I was ready to take the
active and go. The wind was directly across the runway from the left, at
approx 10 knots (45-degree droop angle on the windsock at our airport). Not
unusual; I've done 12-to-15 knot crosswind takeoffs many times before in my
Kolb.
Three seconds after giving it full power, I glanced back at the windsock.
Horror! It was rigidly horizontal. In the next second, I felt the violent
gust hit my Mark-III, which instantly pivoted 90 degrees to the left as we
weathervaned into the wind. (Which I found out later was a 32-knot gust, as
recorded at our airports DigiWx system.)
The instantaneous result was, due to the sudden turn, the left wheel came up
and the right wingtip dragged on the ground - the classic ground loop.
Whee!
Back at the hangar, and following VERY close inspection, the only damage
that resulted was torn fabric on the aileron tip, at the aft/outboard
corner. Hinge line is straight, trailing edge spar is straight, every
member of the aileron structure is straight. No damage except for fabric.
Gotta love the robust design of these Kolbs!
I've since repaired the fabric and have flown my Mark-III - no problems. I
like to think I learned something worthwhile from the experience that's
worth passing on to you all. For this scenario, I should have waited 15 or
20 minutes before launching, as there were scattered rain clouds in the
area; one, particularly close to the airport. The aberrant gust that got me
was from one localized cell that was within 5 miles of the airport.
Although clear skies beckoned in the other direction, I should have let that
little rain cloud pass over the airport, rather than try to get out ahead of
it.
And so, Pat L and Ohio Ralph (recently), and all you other Kolbers with
similar past histories of battle damage (Muncho Lake comes to mind), it is
with honor that I join your esteemed ranks. But like Hauck once said: "You
can't break 'em if you don't fly 'em!"

Maybe this depends on the year the UltraStar was built? When I bought my
UltraStar in 1994, it came with a set of blueprints dated 1984 that show the
wings hinged on the front fitting, but the plane is built with the wings
hinged on the rear fitting. Picture here of the wings folded:

Yes Dennis, you are one of the most highly esteemed out there. I am glad very little
damage was done and you jumped back in the saddle again.
I do not like the "double edged" problem we have with these planes. If you add
enough weight to keep them down along the ground, they never get the hankerin
to get off the ground.
On mine, I am getting the IVO prop late this week, making a breather line like
"Plaincrazzy" made, need to make a new gap seal out of Lexan. Then tie the tail,
crank it up and see if anything comes off or vibrates loose. Also, I need to
make a new sissy bar system. The old one most assuradly saved me considerable
bucks and repair. I ain't leaven home again without one!
Probably two to three weeks before I get back up. Mornings and evenings are in
the 50's and 60's here in Ohio. Hate to miss that cool air.
I know thsi is a tad away from the Kolb info, but you did use the John H. name
and I felt we could all use a laugh. Look at picture below. And NO, IT AINT A
KOLB! Sorry about hurtin feelins.
Ohio Ralph, cantankerous as all get out here in Ohio!

Well, it looks like a ripoff of a couple of popular designs, the Flightstar,
for one. Ask yourself if you can get it built and inspected by Jan 31, 2008
if you want to fly it as an LSA. After that, it'll be a very expensive lawn
ornament, unless you want to license it as amateur built experimental.

Does anyone know the significance of the number stamped on the rear of
the root tube on the Mark 3. Are they serial numbers? Are the numbers
in series? Did they start at 1? What was the last one sold from Old
Kolb in Pennsylvania?
Just curious

Mine was very close to being the last one, if not the last to come from
Phoenixville, Pa. I got the three airframe kits from Pa, but got the
enclosure and the motor mounts from New Kolb in Ky, so I was in the
transition. When I heard about the sale and transition, my first
reaction was to wonder how things were going to work out, but New Kolb
treated me good.
I bought it on March 14, 1995, all three kits, including the Sun-N'-Fun
promotion of all the ribs pre-built for the bargain price of $6,765.
(Airframe only, I already had an engine and instruments)
The number on the end of the root tube is M3-215.

Wow!
That is an average of 92.3 mph.
Twenty mph tail wind both ways?
Or did you mean 4.9 hours?

John,
I have put fully synthetic oil in my 912. I want to do xc's and plan on
using more 100LL than I'd planned. Next time I change my oil can I just fill
the tank up with semi-synthetic or do I need to empty all the fully
synthetic out of the radiator and hoses and tank then refill everything with
semi?
Thanks,
David

Not hard to do cruising 85 to 90 mph!
Actually, I did have a little help from the wind going and coming.

I wanted to use exhaust header wrap near the electricial components on the
engine. As I understand the Rotax 921 EGT runs normally at 1472, maxing out
at 1652. As I check the diffrent exhaust wraps it seems they only goes to
continuous of 1000.
For example:

Do I need to keep looking?
Thanks,
David

Hi David:
I don't think so.
I used to switch back and forth from full to semi-synthetic. Now that
I cross country more the locally fly, I run Valvoline Durablend
Semi-sythetic most all the time. Hot weather I run 20w50. Cold
weather 5 or 10w40. Based on the condition of my gearbox during
yesterday's inspection, I think my Durablend is doing a good job.

They went a little longer than that. I couldn't remember for sure, but I do
know I got my kit from TOK, so dug out my sales invoice. It's dated
10-14-96 for Serial # M3-274. I went out with a flashlight just now, and
the number on the end of the root tube is M1124.
I've found the cause of my problems with the redrive, and have been fighting
for 1 1/2 weeks with a local machine shop to build a spacer the way "I" want
it........not the way they think they want to make it. "If" I can get that
idiot to trim it to fit tomorrow, I could have Vamoose started again this
weekend........but I won't bet on it. I go back to the guy for try #4
tomorrow. Unfortunately, he's the only game in town, and I've already paid
him $110.00 for the thing......before I realized it wouldn't work.
Grumble. Lar.

David:
I bought my exhaust header wrap from Summit. Have no idea what the
temperature rating was, but it worked for 5 years with no problems.
I think any automotive header wrap will work just fine. Four stroke
EGT's run very high.
