I am trying to contact the owner of the Zenith CH-701 with the Arizona
paint job (obviously copied from Uncle Craig) that attended the Monument
Valley fly in this past May. Does anyone have contact information for
this fellow?
Many Thanks -

--> Kolb-List message posted by: "Jack B. Hart" <jbhart@onlyinternet.net>
Kolbers,
It has been cold, windy and wet for several weeks. Today the sun was out
and so I took a spin around the local area. The harvest is late this year
due to a wet spring. Every where I looked there was a combine in the field
harvesting beans or corn.
Flew at 1,000 feet agl through a sea of spider webs. When I got back
on the ground the FireFly was covered by spider silk. With the sun going
down one can see the sun light making the spider silk glow like frost on the
top of the grass.
Did not stay up very long as I was not dressed for 40 degrees F. But it was
great. Tomorrow it is supposed to be colder and rain or sleet or snow.

| Subject: | MK III X 582 TO 912ULS CONVERSION |
Hello to all
I wanted to share some information I have learned since upgrading from a
582 to a 912uls with a 72" 3 bladed WARP prop on my MK III X. It is not
cheap to upgrade but I got a break on the engine when I bought John
Hauck's old 912uls. It is a strong running engine well proven in the
most extreme of conditions and I am very happy with it.
I ended up lowering the leading edge of the wing by about 5/8" to keep
from getting airborne before the plane was ready to fly and lowering the
leading edge of the horizontal stab to 1/4" above the centerline of the
boom tube. I added a trim tab to the elevator to give it some down
pressure and a large rudder trim tab to hold right rudder. I also
removed my trim tab from the left aileron that I needed with the 582
installed.
My empty weight increased from 564 to 602 lbs and the cg ranges from 26
to 34.8 so it falls within the limits. I have the prop pitched for
straight and level WOT at 5500 rpm. This give me a take off climb of
about 1200 fpm at 70 mph IAS with 5400 rpms. So far some rough
performance numbers are at 5500 rpm in level flight IAS is 95 mph, 5000
rpm give me a little more than 85 mph IAS and 4500 is a little less than
80 mph IAS.
The plane trims out nicely with the way it is set up. I do not have to
use the cockpit trim control while solo to maintain level flight at
5000rpm. This will allow me to trim the airplane with a passenger and
maintain level flight with in limits I hope. Time will tell as I have
not taken a passenger up yet.
I also had to change out my Kunztleman HotBox and EIS and I am very
happy with them.
I want to thank Brian and Travis at TNK for all the advice and time they
spent on the phone with me during the conversion and certainly John
Hauck for going out of his way to remove and deliver the engine to me in
a timely manner so I could get back in the air.

Hi All,
Sorry to say that I sold my Kolb Mark III today. A gentleman from Miami, Fl. came
out to see it and jumped on it. I will truley miss flying my Kolb. I take the
last flight tomorrow. [Crying or Very sad]
I have a Flight Design CT coming in 5 weeks. I need not say good-bye to my friends
on this list, because I plan to continue visiting you all.
AZDAVE, you missed a really good plane. :D

| Subject: | Vamoose For Sale |
OK, it's official. I listed Vamoose on Barnstormers today.
I listed the plane itself for $12,500.00, with no engine or reduction
drive. This price includes the gull wing doors, tall spring steel
landing gear, heavy duty tapered roller wheel bearings, 8:00 tires,
Narco aircraft radio, transponder and altitude encoder.
The engine is listed separately for $2500.00, and is a 2110cc high
performance VW with electronic wasted spark ignition and computer
controlled fuel injection. To the best of my knowledge, the engine is
great, and started every time I hit the ignition. Engine price includes
Warp Drive 3 bladed 72" prop, My problems were with the reduction
drive, that now lives at the Palm Springs city dump.
The engine is mounted and I would prefer to sell it with the plane, but
if necessary I could separate them.
I also have an enclosed trailer for it that needs a little work on the
modified front end, and have listed the trailer for $2500.00.
A complete description of Vamoose is online at:
http://www.biglar.homestead.com/BUILDINGVAMOOSE.html
A combination of factors brought this about. The primary one is that
I've just lost interest, and not just in Vamoose. In the first 6 years
that I had my pilot's license, I flew over 300 hours in rental planes.
In the last 5 years, just 30 hours. The flightseeing tour at Bella
Coola, B.C. this summer got me jazzed for a bit, but it fell flat again.
Second, I've just accepted a position as Director of Engineering at a
luxury hotel in Santa Fe, NM and 1) I'm not going to have much, if
any, time for hobbies for quite a while, and 2) I'm just not up for
dragging it along and trying to find a place to store it, let alone work
on it.
I don't really think that awful redrive was much of a factor, tho' it
surely did p..... me off big time. That's mechanical and was poorly
designed from the get go, and I think I gave it a helluva go. I'm very
thankful it caused its' problems on the ground.
I still enjoy the Kolb List and my many friends here, and figure on
keeping on with it, Vamoose or no. Lar.
