| Subject: | List of Contributors Coming Soon - Make Sure You're Listed! |
Dear Listers,
The List of Contributors (LOC) is just around the corner! On December 1st I post
a list of everyone that so generously made a Contribution to support the Lists.
Its my way of publicly thanking everyone that took a minute to show their
appreciation for the Lists.
As a number of people have pointed out in their Contribution comments, the List
seems at least as valuable of a building/flying/recreating tool as a typical
your magazine subscription! And how interactive is a magazine, after all? :-)
Won't you take minute and assure that your name is on the upcoming LOC? Tell others
that you appreciate the Lists. Making a Contribution to support the Lists
is fast and easy using your Visa, MasterCard, or Paypal account:
http://www.matronics.com/contribution
Or, by droping a personal check in the mail to:
Matronics / Matt Dralle
PO Box 347
Livermore CA 94551-0347
USA
(Please include your email address on the check!)
I would like to thank everyone that has so generously made a Contribution thus
far during this year's List Fund Raiser! Remember that its YOUR support that
keeps these Lists running and improving! Don't forget to include a little comment
about how the Lists have helped you!
Thank you!

| Subject: | Az Daves' services |
Two weeks after Daves accident and I can barely think of it without
welling up. I Wanted to post something meaningful here but words cannot
communicate the emotions we are all experiencing. I know that George,
the Black Mesa Flyers, Uncle Craig, Tim and many others must feel his
loss even more deeply than do I, having known Dave just a brief year.
He mentored myself and many others in all things Kolb; He was so very
generous with his time and his wisdom that the community owes him a
great deal of respect, if nothing more.
Many of you will travel far to join us in celebrating his life
Saturday in Prescott; for those who might need a place to r.o.n. Friday
evening, please give Sandy and I a call on the land line at
928-649-9440, or simply send an email. We live just off the Cottonwood
airport in Clarkdale, thirty minutes from Embry-Riddel. Any friend of
Dave is more than welcome, and we would have much to share. It's the
least we could do for such a remarkable individual, such a wonderful
man.

I will second that. I have two queen sized beds here at my home for
anyone who needs to spend the night by coming from affair. Any friend of
Dave's is a friend of mine. Please contact me off line if you need a bed

| Subject: | Facet pump thread sealer |
Hi All, My Facet pump came today, are there any suggestions as to what I
should use to seal the threads? Also, if I mount it lower than the fuel
tanks. In the event it fails ( from what I have read this would probably
need to be from a blown fuse or bad connection), can the mechanical pump
pull fuel through about five feet of fuel line, with a three foot lift to
the carbs? Just trying to cover all the bases before installation! Thanks
in advance Lanny Fetterman N598LF FSII Do not archive

Hi,
I mounted my facet on the bottom of the "jump seat" then ran the fuel
lines forward to a panel at the side of the front seat, then back up to the
pulse pump. I first attempted to use it as a boost pump as in a GA plane. It
worked fine until I did a fly by at a friends house then attempted to pull
out with full throttle. It coughed on pull out and I never attempted to fly
without it again. So I guess my answer would be that it will "most likely"
do just fine as long as you don't use full throttle.
As Beauford says - its worth what you paid for it!

All
This is the hardest thing I have done in a long time. I have been silent
for good cause. Dave's loss is great!! I am in New York tonight, I'll be
here all week I'm in the hotel reading my daily dose of the list and...
This is the holiday season which we spend time with the ones we love,
family and friends, to reflect on the blessings we enjoy and extend our
self's and hearts to them. Traditionally we gather together at
thanksgiving with a feast and at Christmas time share ourselves again
with those we hold dear exchanging gifts to express love and gratitude
for the relationship we have with them building on the love with
memories that are timeless. Today I feel the empty chair Eve must be
experiencing, the first thanksgiving without her loved Dave. The thought
of the up coming Christmas will become all too real after the service
this sat... Eve my prayers are with you through this trying time. Know
we all enjoyed Dave's warm friendly zest for all things good. From ice
cream sandwiches at MV (not to mention the meal) to the new guy looking
at his first metal and fabric formed in the shape of a Kolb. We all
loved his willingness to share his experiences, stories of a flight, how
the trailer works, where he and Eve have been," here take this sticker
of a Kolb and put it on your trailer" May we all remember Eve in our
Prayers in the future months that it will take to get comfortable with
Dave in her heart rather than at her side----- my flight does not get in
till sat so I hope I can make the service

| Subject: | Adventures in Prop Inertia |
Like the weather, everyone talks about prop inertia. Okay, maybe it's only a
few gearheads, but I got real interested after seeing the technique
demonstrated while doing the weight shift and powered parachute modules for
the repairman maintenance ticket. Having had plenty of time to think about
it while driving back home from CA, I figured I had four props I could check
and see how it all fit together. So I gathered them altogether and built the
setup per Rotax Service Information instruction SI 11 UL 91 E, Available
from the Rotax owners site and paraphrased in the CPS catalog. So here are
the numbers for a 66" Ritz 2 blade wood prop, a 66" Warp Drive 3 blade
straight carbon fiber prop with CNC aluminum hub, an IVO 60" 3 blade
composite prop with quick adjust hub, and a 48" 2 blade Tennessee Propellor
wood prop. Each prop was run 3 times and the times shown are the average of
the three, although each prop's runs were all +/- 1 second. I'll go heaviest
to lightest.
Warp Drive 66" 3 blade CNC hub
Wt. 9 lb. 12 oz.
Average time to 30 oscillations, 180 seconds
Inertia 5200 Kg cm^2
IVO 60" 3 blade Quick adjust hub
Wt. 6 lb. 4 oz.
Average time to 30 oscillations, 161 seconds
Inertia 2700Kg cm^2
Ritz 66 X 28 2 blade
Wt 5 lb. 1 oz.
Average time to 30 oscillations, 190 seconds
Inertia 3000 Kg cm^2
TPI 48 X 34 2 blade
Wt. 3 lb. 3 oz.
Average time to 30 oscillations, 127 seconds
Inertia 1100Kg cm^2
So there you have it, you can definitely see the variance in inertia caused
by length and mass. The Ritz is right at the top of the allowable range for
a B gearbox, while the shorter, heavier IVO is right near it and the TPI
shorty should represent no problem. The Warp drive is well within range of
the C and E gearboxes but would be brutal on a B box.

| Subject: | Firestar Lord Mounts, Rudder Cables |
Hi All,
Went out to Dillsburg aeroplane works today and got some new nuts and
bolts to reassemble my 86 Firestar. They didn't have any lord mounts.
Does anyone know where Kolb got their 1 3/4 inch lord mounts?
Also, I pulled the control cables today and found the Rudder Cables had
one or two broken strands in the pully area. Those of you with older or
high time kolbs might want to check this.
