.when are you going to fly your mkIIIx?>>
Hi John,
Matte came up with a fix. Seems that there was some double encapsulation
(whatever that is) going on.Luckily a computer guy was here today installing
a new comp for Wendy and we concluded that Matte was right and we corrected
it by removing the outgoing virus check on my machine.... seems to have
worked.
Re the plane. I have elected to buy a `quickbuild kit`, which has now been
approved for use in the UK. This means that I shall have a more or less
complete wing turn up which will only need covering, instead of a pile of
tubes. Transport charges are based on the weight and size and as the main
spar dictates the size the difference in transport costs should not be too
much different.
Works were starting to build my wing about the 4th Oct. so I hope that it
is on the high seas by now.
I have been drilling out rivets today so that I can detach the old aileron
for use on the new wing.
After a superb autumn with a lot of absolutely still, clear days when I have
had nothing to fly, the weather has now changed and apart from the odd day
the winter has arrived, so realistically it is a matter of having the newly
repaired plane ready to go when the weather breaks in the Spring.
The clocks went back last weekend so it is now dark by 6 o clock. It is
still quite warm, unseasonably so, around 15/17 C but beginning to look
forward to drawing the curtains, getting the log fire going and a house
full of family for Christmas.
It will soon be Spring. I hope!. I hope!. I hope!

Steve,
I looked at this at the homecoming but didn't get time to ask you about it. Are
you planning on using the mold to capture the tubing in the tail or is the plan
to replace the metal tubing with a composite structure?

This is the prototype from last year build from scratch without molds
Scott,
The part has come a long way since the homecoming. Cold Damp weather is
horrible for polyester products. Both right and left hand molds are complete and
they are used to build an 1/8 " skin that captures Aluminum tubing. The
vertical post is .120 wall . The hard part was getting the glass on the final
piece
to stay on the mold. By using epoxy and vacuum bagging that problem is
solved. The bonus is a piece that is half the weight of a cold layup and probably
twice the strength. Epoxy and vacuum bagging also allows the use of kevlar in
a couple of key areas.
This part is not for everyone, it is more expensive than the standard steel
part and more work to build. Bryan Melborn will probably offer these to people
that need them for float planes.

Well after 2 LONG days of driving and work, I am the proud owner of
another Kolb aircraft. I was able to purchase the purple(?) and orange
ex-factory demo plane without engine. After a nerve-racking loading and
drive I was ecstatic to see that there was not a scratch added to this
plane enroute home (and that included a 5:00 p.m. run through Atlanta,
Ga....heaven help me) Hope to add a 912 to it soon as possible and
commit aviation in a grand fashion...

It's hard to beat a Kolb for a photo platform.

| Nice plane, there is a new Jab on barnstormers
David:
Jabiru and other direct drive engines do not do well on Kolb aircraft.
Had a chance to do some serious cross country flying with John W when
his Kolbra was powered with a Jabiru direct drive. Left a lot to be
desired.
When John W upgraded to a 912ULS, my red and yellow mkIII turned a
little green with jealousy. He was now out climbing and out running
me. ;-)
My only saving grace is I can carry a lot more stuff more conveniently
than he can.
Take care,
john h

Jeremy,
Good for you. I'm still poking along on the MK III I bought from you. Be
glad that he wouldn't take 7 grand for it or I would have been hauling it to
Mississippi. Don't know what you gave for it but it was a heck of a deal at
the price listed. I just have too much work in the MK III customizing it the
way I wanted or I would have got it anyway.
Later,
John Cooley

Congrats Jeremy,
That is a super fine Kolbra and a 912 is just what she needs to be perfect.
