Where are you located?
How many BMW powered Kolbs do we have out there? Yes, I am interested in BMW
power. Always have been, even though I have a new 912ULS sitting on the
bench waiting on time to get it installed on the mkIII.
I think I related to the group about interdicting Mike Richardson and his
BMW powered mkIII a few minutes south of Henderson, Ky. He has the fuel
injected version. Looked good.
How are the BMW's doing? You guys getting any time on them? Making in cross
country flights? Is everyone using a Rotax C gearbox? What kind of
performance figures are you all getting? Would a BMW conversion be practical
for a long distance cross country flight on a Kolb? I'm curious.
Take care,

Hello John and all,
I will first give you the same advice you have handed out on the list a
hundred times, check the archives :). I know Hans V posted recently and I
believe he has over 200 hours on his. I know of 4 MKIII's currently flying
with BMW R100 engines. Me, Tim W, Hans V, and Jim G. The engine we are all
using is the air-cooled version that they stopped producing in about 1994.
It has dual Bing Carbs (the same carbs as the 912). I believe it produced
about 65 horses in stock trim on the motorcycle. I have had mine worked
over a bit and I believe it should produce around 75 HP. I do not know what
kind of cross country flying the others have done, but I hope to get down to
Monument Valley some day. I am still in the process of wringing out my
engine. I believe some jet changes are in order and fix the exhaust
brackets that cracked and such. All of us are using Rotax "C" gear boxes.
I am using a 3:1 with a ultralight 72" in-flight adjustable IVO. I think
Hans is using the same set up but might have a shorter prop. I know Jim is
using a 2.62:1 gear box. The engine you refer to that I believe Mike R has
is a newer version that displaces about 1.1L, has throttle body fuel
injection and oil cooled heads. BMW just came out with a new engine that
displaces 1.2L and produces 100hp on the bike. It is not only lighter than
previous engines but has a internal balance shaft inside to make it
smoother. It has been getting rave reviews in the motorcycle world. If I
had a choice, I would have gone with a 912, but as I stated in a previous
post, I have about $3500 into the engine and about $15000 into the complete
aircraft. I have a young family and even getting that done over a 10 year
span was a stretch, so the 912 was just not an option for me. I will try to
post to the list the numbers I am getting as soon as I get everything
settled down. I might add that doing the conversion was much simpler that I
thought. I have no background in machining and had all (3) of my parts
machined at a local community college. It took about a year (1 part a
session) but all I had to do was provide the materials (which I got from a
scrap bin) and buy some pizza for the end of year party. I got some
excellent advice from Jim G on how to mark blind holes and such and off I
went. I got my gear box off of e-bay. Only time will tell if this whole
thing will be a "good deal" or not, but so far it looks promising.

Hi Jason:
Thanks for the advice. I did a search on "jason omelchuck" and came
up with 210 archived msgs.
You mentioned the fuel injected BMW had oil cooled heads. A lot of
the folks refer to the 912 series engines as watercooled. The heads
are primarily oil cooled and secondarily water cooled. Cylinders are
air cooled.
Hopefully, the extra horses you squeezed out of the BMW will make it a
viable engine for the mkIII. Rotax is a very expensive option and
getting more expensive every day. However, they do have a good
reliable product, but would be a whole lot more fun to fly on a
smaller budget.
With engine prices, fuel, and insurance, doesn't take long to eat up a
small retirement budget.
Take care and thanks for the info,
john h

--> Kolb-List message posted by: "Kirby Dennis Contr MDA/AL" <Dennis.Kirby@kirtland.af.mil>
Classification: UNCLASSIFIED
Caveats: NONE
Kolb Friends -
Here's a first for me: I just had my first biennial flight review in my
OWN airplane! I was able to do this, as only this year (in Jan) I
finally achieved 40 hours on my Kolb, and may now carry a passenger.
Flying along as an "observer," my instructor had me put the plane thru
all the usual BFR kinds of maneuvers - stalls, coordination maneuvers,
and even unusual attitudes. Then we did a bunch of takeoffs and
landings. (I learned that I need to carry a bit more power when doing
full flap landings with a passenger, if I don't wish to splay my landing
gear again!) We flew 1.2 hours that day; very satisfying!
The best part of it all was hearing my instructor thru the intercom,
going "Yee-haa" with very take off. It was obvious that, being
accustomed to instructing in general aviation aircraft (like 172s and
Cherokees), my instructor was fair amazed at the climb rate of a Kolb!
Especially here in central New Mexico, where airfield elevations are
above 6000 feet, and where most GA planes perform like old dogs!

Yes...
If it is E-AB or you are a Rec pilot or above then a tailwheel
endorsement by a CFI is needed.
E-LSA and a Sport Pilot, then a tailwheel set sign off is needed from an
SP-CFI or CFI.
No...
If being flown under Part 103
Not a dumb question at all, good to know the legalities!

Just wondering where the "Kolb" police are today? Not thats its all that important.
I don't personally have a problem with this post. Possum is a poster and provider
of information. And his cute little manipulation of this same aircraft and
the nose of a Kolb, I thought was quite impressive.
And I like your video's and want to see more with some fall colors.SO get back
up ther and spend some more time behind the camera!

If you get a BFR in your Kolb that could take care of the tailwheel
legality.
Many flight instructors won't get in anything like a Kolb.

As long as you get the CFI to sign your logbook for the endorsement I don't see
why not.
I'd give a Flight review in a Kolb... (of course being a Kolb Flyer, I love the
planes...) Come on over to Charleston :D

I've got lots of junk like this - but I'll have to put it
in another name so I don't disappoint the "Moller
