There's quite a good article on Prop balance, harmonics etc on this weeks AvWeb
'MotorHead' column (#15)
Just helps one appreciate the factors that make for a smooth engine/prop combination.

Thanks for alll the insight on my prop purchase...........I bought this Mark
III (Miss B) from Bob Brocious in Kentucky who not only sold me a great
plane but threw in some sound advice for free, this Kolb-list being one of
them. Thanks again for the responses and thanks in advance for future
responses I will have as a new rookie Kolb owner.

[quote="Ed in JXN"]Hi David,
Which belt redrive was it? I'd suspect the redrive, and switch to the
proper gearbox. Haven't heard of any GB's letting the prop depart the aircraft.

Hi Ed...
I don't know the manufacturer of the belt drive...
I think this Kolb is/was an excellent example of "you get what you pay for"...
If it ever flies again, it will be with a gearbox, or direct drive, no more belt
drives for me...

Hi Dave,
Sounds like your starting to get over you "GA thoughts" and back thinking
of what your gonna do to gitter back in the air....
The close-up picture that you sent me of the shaft really shows where the shaft
has been fractured half way already ( rusted )
It might have been like that when you bought it....
When you put a Gearbox on , you'll be able to lower your Engine back down to stock
height....Then it should "Fold" properly....
Gotta Fly...

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Bill Herrin, of Pineville, LA
was taking off in his little Luscombe from Ocala, FL yesterday evening
with his daughter on board and apparently lost power at low altitude and
crashed into a field. Neither survived the crash. I have no other
details.
Bill didn't say much on the Kolb List, but thoroughly enjoyed the
conversations and followed it closely. We became friends years ago thru
the List, I've visited him twice in "Lousy-ana," and he visited me here
in Furnace Springs on his way home from Monument Valley. He realized a
lifetime dream earlier this year when he flew his Luscombe from coast to
coast, with a stop to visit us in Monument Valley last May.
Bill was a good friend. He'll be missed. Lar.

Sorry to hear this.
Talked to Bill a few days ago.
He pitched his tent next to mine at MV. Every time I turned around to
use my chair, Bill had it over at his tent. ;-)
Bill made up for stealing my chair by buying my dinner at MV, a Taco
Salad.
He kept me up to date on the progress he was making from the time he
got the idea of buying the Luscombe to soloing it home from PA.
I did not know his daughter.
Could not find any info on the local Gainesville/Ocala/Orlando news,
papers or TV.
Take care,

Small plane plunges into field, kills 2
BY MILLARD K. IVES
STAR-BANNER
Medical examiner Dona Faber, left, Inspector Mike Mongeluzzo and Deputy Art
King examine a plane crash in Marion Oaks off County Road 484 Sunday.
MORGAN PETROSKI/STAR-BANNER
MARION OAKS - Two people were killed late Sunday afternoon after their
antique two-seater plane crashed in a peanut field.
According to a witness, Richard McGinley, the 1946 Luscombe 8A had landed on
his family's private airstrip on County Road 484. It took back off and was
about 90 feet in the air when it appeared to stall.
He said the single-engine plane looked as if it was trying to turn back to
the airstrip when it nose-dived into the field.
The two unidentified occupants died on the scene.
"It banked to the left, went down and baboom!," said McGinley, using his
right hand to simulate the crash.
The medical examiner and Marion County Sheriff's Office investigators were
examining the wreckage of the grey plane, which has blue stripes, Sunday
evening as firefighters stood in the background.
The plane's wings were left intact but crumpled during impact. The nose took
the brunt of the impact and was partially caved in. Officials from the
Federal Aviation Administration were expected to be on the scene late Sunday
night.
Capt. James Pogue, a Sheriff's Office spokesman, said the plane is
registered in Louisiana. A search on the FAA's Web site indicated the plane is
registered to William D. Herren, of Pineville, La. Officials were still trying
late
Sunday to identify the occupants and where they live.
The crash was reported to 911 at about 5:30 p.m. and occurred just west of
Marion Oaks in a giant peanut field, which is about a mile and a half long.
McGinley, whose family owns the field, said he was eating dinner in a house
in the field, located on the south side of CR 484. He noticed an unfamiliar pl
ane had landed on his family's private airstrip on the north side of CR 484.
McGinley said he began to drive to the airstrip. But before he could reach
the plane, it had taken back off. He then saw it crash. McGinley said when he
approached the downed plane, both occupants appeared to be unconscious.
"I knew there was nothing I could do," McGinley said.

So sorry to hear about the death of two more people in a Luscombe. As
some of you know, my Son and one of his students was killed in 2001 in a
Luscombe. His engine failure was due to fuel starvation when he had
over 1/3 of a tank of fuel. The FAA is, and has been for years, aware
of this problem in all Luscombes that do not have wing tanks to feed the
fuel to the engine. What the FAA has done, and will not fix, is publish
an Advisory Circular which requires a decal on the instrument panel
which says something to the effect that all takeoffs are to be made with
carb heat on. I believe that most of you pilots will agree with me that
this in one stupid AC. Most of us who fly with passengers or a full
load want all the power that we can get. Pulling on the carb heat is
not what we do because it cost 100 or more rpms. Anyway, I strongly
suggest an independent analysis of this recent accident because the
NTSB, especially in the Atlanta Office, is either incompetent or have
some other agenda than discovering the truth and saving lives. I know
that I sound a little bitter. How many of you have lost your Son and
best friend and go around happy as a lark? By the way:
The Advisory Circular is: A-694 rev. 23

As of this morning, Vamoose is up and running again. Ran about 10
minutes, and so far no oil leaks. Lookin' good. Now the real fun
starts.
Not sure if this will apply to Rotax engines, but this VW with redrive
has quite a few starts on it without a prop, and so long as I'm very
careful with the throttle it seems to be fine.

Sorry to hear the bad news. Although I did not know Bill, everytime we hear of
an aviation accident it hits home to all of us..
Everytime I hear of a aviation accident, I try to learn everything I can from it. We all recently learned of the airline accident in Lexington, KY which intrigued me of how something like that could happen, but we all know it only takes one mistake for things to go bad, which had prompted me to brush up on stalls and load factors and other related items. Recently I came across a very interesting article on a website that I often visit just to read about information. I thought I would share it with all of you, so I attached it. I put it in PDF format so that everyone could view it. If you cant view it, you will have to download adobe acrobat, which is free off from adobes site.Also the website in case you all want to visit it is www.overtheairwaves.com
Again, sorry to hear the bad news...

Say I had a stall warning device on my wing that went off at 40 mph. Then
lets say I turned downwind to base at a 75% degree turn at 55mph. I would
stall because of the increased G loads but would the stall warning device go
off?

Subject: | Re: Stall Question |
David, Seems like a "how long is a piece of string" question. The simple
answer is no, if it's set for 40 it won't go off at 55. If it's an impact
device like an airspeed indicator in reverse, 55 knots worth of air
molecules would keep the device from triggering. With a little clever
engineering you could add a sliding door or similar way to close down the
opening so that at 55 and 2G's you get only 40 knots worth of air molecules
and the device triggers.
Fun thought experiment, thanks.

You don't cool it without a prop. That's why only 10 minutes - and that at
low rpms and no load. :-) Even at that, CHT was under 350 when I shut it
down. Prob'ly the oil cooling it....?? Do not Archive.

Not into being an alarmist, but found this a while back and haven't heard a
Kolber raise a peep about boom inspection. Nor do I know how to go about that
task. Doubt the feds have followed up on booms generally. I have dealt with
major aluminum corrosion previously and one old pilot and rebuilder said I
saved him money. Said he wouldn't have to send flowers to my funeral.

John,
This is from the Rans website.
_Click here: RANS Aircraft Main Page_ (http://www.rans.com/Alerts/AD131.htm)
Airworthiness Directive: 131
Subject: Tail Boom
Compliance: Mandatory
Models Effected: All S-12 Airailes with Serial Numbers Before 01950000
Inspection of the tail boom on all Airaile models should be conducted at the
earliest possible date and prior to the next flight. The inspection is to
determine:
Installation of the tail boom doubler sleeve. Inspect the inside of the boom
to visually confirm the presence of a boom doubler sleeve. If there is not a
boom doubler sleeve present, the aircraft is to be grounded and the boom
replaced with a tail boom with the doubler sleeve. Flight is not recommended for
any version of the Airaile aircraft not equipped with a boom doubler sleeve.
The boom doubler sleeve can be viewed from the tail end of the boom using a
powerful flashlight. See drawing below for location.
Visually inspect the presence and integrity of the plastic strip installed
between the collar and tail boom. Take proper corrective action to replace or
reposition protective plastic strip. If no corrosion is present around the
collar, remove boom for inspection under the surface of the collar. No
corrosion should be present. Replace boom if corrosion is present.
General inspection of tail boom at all points of attachment and total
surface area for: the presence of corrosion inside and out, cracks, nicks, dents,
holes, or any deformation. Replace boom as required.
This inspection procedure is required at each annual condition inspection.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. Hopefully we have not
inconvenienced you to any great degree.
Fly safe.
