Hi Dwight,
Well, since you mention it.... I have something written about it.
It's on the Tailwind section because I mainly bought it to build my next plane
( Wittman - Tailwind - W-10 , 320 lycoming - cruise 190-200 )

Sounds like a real good idea how many different sizes did you have
to use? I have allot of 4130 from the Christavia MK4 project.When I did
the weight & balance I had 85# on the rear wheel. I have avoided not
supporting the wings when I fold them because the stock rod not being
strong enough. Seems like it is not strong enough for the 912UL3 because
mine bent just rolling it in and out of the hanger. I keep my tractor &
lawn mower , 4 wheeler in the same hanger so I'm always rolling the Kolb
out to get to some thing. The Pacer had high enough wings to get every
thing in & out with out moving the plane. My be when I get the floats
on.
To change the subject is anyone else having problems with the 912
chokes being too stiff? I have buddy with a Highlander with a 912 and he
had the same problem. He just disconnected the chokes and added a
aircraft style primer. I ordered my primer yesterday and a new battery.I
had a battery out of one of these hand jump start sets. Just was not up
to the job so I ordered $96 one from Spruce.
Also were is every one mounting there airworthy & registration
papers? I was thinking about the center section that way it is out of
the wind & weather. I could also put them on top of the section behind
the gas tanks but the would subject to wind. Rick Pearce MK3C 912UL3

Titaniumjoe.com has some tubing, but most of it is pretty thin wall. I
used 4130 tubing in telescoping sizes. I cut the larger tube at 45
degrees and ended it about half way to the tail wheel. It hasn't bent
through all my tailwheel first landings before I learned to wheel land.
I can send a pic in the morning if you'd like.

Your right about the flexing tail wheel rod. Makes for suspention.
I also noticed when I sat on the tail boom (not recomended) adj.
brackets for the radiator that my rod was bent when I got up, but
straight with no weight. That weight also tends to straighten out the
built in curve of the welded steel tail section. Something I gave poor
Travis hell about (sort of). Sorry.
The only potential problem I noticed is that the forward point of the
lower vertical stabilizer was also puled away from the boom tube.
Mine was not riveted at that time but I wonder if anyone has had any
trouble with rivets in that area?

Kolb Friends -
For those of you who have sold large-dollar-amount items (like airplanes
or engines), how do you work out the payment plan?
For example, let's say I found a nice, low-time 912ul engine on
Barnstormers that I wish to purchase from an individual to give to Big
Lar for Christmas so he can get Vamoose flying. I don't want to send a
check for $8,000 to a stranger until the engine I just bought is
delivered at my door. Similarly, he does not want to ship his engine to
me until he is sure I've sent his $8,000.
Is there some kind of escrow service that we can use to address this
dilemma?
I've heard of "PayPal" accounts that many folks use for purchasing stuff
on eBay, but I don't have such an account. What are the options that
would benefit both parties?
Many thanks -

As a seller, Paypal has a $500/month max unless seller provides their SSN
for Uncle Sam. If an individual with a one-time sale, seller may not want
to do that. Also, seller may get charged 3% fee on the money they
received from PP. That's $240 they would loose unless you pay extra.
If you or a friend can't pick it up in person, I think the best bet is to
talk to the individual and determine if you trust him/her. Check ebay
feedback, research the store,etc. If you don't trust them enough to send
in your money, you probably should not bid on the item.
I will sometimes ask for a 3-day inspection on an item I purchased. If it
is not as advertised, then return it for refund; less shipping. You can
negotitate anything you want, but in the end you will have to trust the
seller first.

| Subject: | 103 & slightly overweight |
As a new owner of a near-stock Ultrastar (which I haven't yet done a W&B
on, so I don't know where it falls), I wonder:
We all know that many (if not most) otherwise supposedly 103 legal
ultralights are a bit (or more than a bit) overweight. The question is,
has anybody ever been inspected and weighed by the FAA? Obviously if you
fly into an airshow and there's an inspector there, or the local FSDO is
doing ramp checks, and you have a 2-seater or great big gas tanks or
something else blatant, you're probably asking for trouble... but I wonder
about the plane that's otherwise legal but has a few extra coats of paint,
or wheel brakes, or instruments, or whatever, that push the weigh up to 255
lbs or 260 or 270 or so... what is the real likelihood of trouble? If you
have an accident, of course, all bets are off, but even then are they
likely to actually weigh it (or all the pieces)?
BTW, the rumor is (from a "usually reliable source") that starting in
January, the feds will be doing widespread ramp checks at airports with
significant ultralight activity.

I fly out of a private grass strip in N. Idaho. Regarding a different
safety-related matter (not UL related), the Spokane FAA told us that they
would never come out [to a private strip] unless specifically invited. I
can't imagine that would hold for a fatal accident, but probably would for
routine regulatory enforcement.
BTW, 254 pounds is overweight. Regs say less than 254 pounds for an
Ultralight.

| Subject: | Re: 103 & slightly overweight |
This subject continues to confuse me..... Everything I read says that fat ULs are
going to be worthless if they are not transitioned into SP. I see people selling
them, and trying to find 103 compliant ships to replace them. I have to
say, I don't get it. My single place firestar will be no more illeagal after
Jan 31st than it is now. The FAA has always turned a blind eye to single place
ULs that are over weight. I have seen nothing from them that leads me to
believe that this will change. The people who I have heard this from are people
like Jim Stephenson at ASC who stand to make financial gains from this whole
SP thing.
Don't get me wrong, for people who want to fly 2 place or faster planes, I think
SP is great. But my opinion is that single place ULs that look like an Ultralight
(tube and fabric), carry 5 gals of gas, and seem to fit the "spirit" of
part 103 will see very little enforcement. Just don't get caught doing something
stupid, or make an emergency landing in the wrong place. Then they probably
will make an example out of you.
In answer to your question, I have never been ramp checked, and never heard of
any UL being weighed by the FAA unless it was involved in an accident.
End of Rant.

Hmmm, yes, I guess the question is has anybody ever heard of an UL being
weighed by the FAA even *after* an accident? Unless, of course, they had
reason to believe the weight led to the accident.
Most of the UL accidents and incidents I've heard of, the FAA doesn't even
investigate if the police report (if there is one) makes it look like a
legal ultralight.

It's more likely that the "usually reliable source" will become and

I think everyone will probably agree, there are very, very few, if

I asked the gentleman about this when he did my inspection. He said that
the FAA was too busy to hunt you down and weigh you, however, you better
not screw up to the point that they are called in to investigate something
you do. That`s when the poop will hit the whirling. blades. Lanny

I guess that I might as well chip in.
It is my thoughts that after Jan there will be an increase in attention paid
to pilots as to their qualifications but the "UL's" have at least another
year after that I believe before they have to make the transition. After the
transition date then I do believe that they will begin an increase in
checks, since there should be no confusion to what is 103 and what is not.
Of course most enforcement is geared to trouble areas. If there are areas of
complaints, checks are always the next step. I do believe that the FAA is
understaffed enough to not go out looking for area to write tickets or what
ever it is that they write. I personally do not think that I will get my
shorts in a tangle over it, but I do intend to be legal by the deadline, or
I will stay out in my quiet little desert and keep a low profile.

I haven't decided if I want to build or buy.

Not true. The FAA isn't dumb. It isn't a 103 ultralight if it has 2
seats, has a 503 or larger engine, or carries more than 5 gallons of
fuel. The local police is already preparing for the crackdown here in
Minnesota and are being trained on what to look for. You guys that
think the FAA isn't going to do anything because they are
understaffed, better think again. I suppose it's a lot like driving a
little over the legal limit for alcohol. There are many that think
they won't get caught.
I flew my Firestar 20 years without a license guys.

Steve,
I'd like to talk to you about both planes. Can you send me your number via direct
email and I'll give you a call if that is O.K. with you?
Thanks,

Kolb experts,
I just subscribed. I am seriously considering purchasing a Kolb Mark III kit
or already constructed airplane. I just sold my last plane and am itching to
get back into something. I like alot of the Kolb features on the website but
I can't find one to see in person. I am in the Fl panhandle for the holidays
and live in D.C. Anybody have a Kolb near me that would be willing to let me
look?
Also interested in info on making a Mark III into a float plane.
Thanks for the help,
Rique
I am in Orlando, Fl and my Firefly on Floats is in Winter Haven. A Pretty good
drive, but you are welcome to come down. I also have a MKIII kit sitting in the
shop that is for sale.

That's kinda a quincidence you mention a hard to pull choke on a Highlander I
just removed a choke cable assembly on a Highlander and replaced it with a
Primer on the 912 because of the same problem, I am now Building another New
Highlander Kit and that sure is not going to get the choke system and I am
rebuilding that Challenger that got blown off its tie downs a while ago and I have
a Sky Ranger coming here to build as soon as I have room
It looks like I am in the small plane building business now everyone likes my
work I guess
Ellery still in a firestar :o)

If you're coming to Orlando, I have a Firestar II, 503 DCDI, for sale at
Florida Flying Gator's Airpark, located near Clermont, Florida, about 25 miles
West of Orlando. It is listed on Barnstormers for $9,500. My friend has a
custom trailer for it (I bought the plane from him) for $2,500. Both are in
great shape. I'm selling because I'm buying an amphibian.

Right, all those things are obvious... but 10 or 20 (not 50 or 100) extra
pounds are a lot less obvious (I hope) on a bird with one seat, a 5 gallon
tank, and a Cuyuna...

Let's think about this, how many fat ultralight type aircraft fly
into Sun & Fun and Oshkosh each year. They were limiting those
flying in the ultralight area to 5 gallons of fuel, but that's all I
have heard of. If you screw up or do things you shouldn't they might
look at you closer. Look like an UL, act like a UL, sound like a UL,
then you must be a UL. Use a radio, sound like you know what your
doing, be courteous to other aircraft, learn proper procedures for
operating in a airport traffic pattern, you'll generally be just find.
