Soak both ends of the bolt with a good penetrating oil. Do that a few times over
at least a 24 hour period. Then turn the bolt while a friend taps the other
end with a drift and hammer. Turn and tap at the same time and it should walk
right out. If it gives you any trouble you may want to drill a hole in the end
of the bolt slightly larger than the end of the drift. That will keep the end
of the bolt from mushrooming so easy.

Its ok ... really. The Bible talks about flying, so I think it's a
legitmate subjet for this list. Matt 24:20: "Pray that your flight does not
take place in winter." Further it probably refers to ultralights, else why
the concern for cold weather?
And the hereafter? Well, I don't know about you, but many of us are getting
older and do start thinking more about the hereafter. Like you walk into
your shop (working on your Kolb, of course) and when you get there you ask
your self, now what am I here after?

Rob - the wings, tail feathers are off. The cage is completely
stripped except for sitting on the landing gear. i.e; no seat,
covering, fuel tank, engine, nose cone or fabric...
Needless to say, it's not flying. :(
The consensus seems to be just push it out with a punch or another bolt.
Now, if everyone on the list would send me $1000 to help out with the plane...

A good ICOM or Vertex handheld radio should be more than adequate for your
needs... they have their own battery pack and you can put it in a jacket
pocket, and you can plug your headset into them, thus adding 0 lbs 0 oz to
your aircraft. The rubber ducky antenna -- assuming you don't have any
ignition noise leaks on your plane -- is quite good for airport and
plane-to-plane communication.

Years ago on the Hummer, (Rotax 277) I had no aircraft battery, but did
have a BIG capacitor inline from the generic cheapo regulator/rectifier to
the radio, (Terra 720 with internal batteries) and it worked really well.
The Hummer also had nav lights on the wingtips and tail just to provide a
load for the regulator/rectifier. You can probably get the right capacitors
at a car stereo shop or maybe even Kmart.

Hi all
I have often come across motorcycle engine mounting bolts ( where they go
right through the crankcases) stuck / corroded into place and believe it
or not a good soaking overnight in coke (coca cola the drink not the
other type) will often free it up. I believe it is something to do with
the mildy acidic properties (or something like that) in the coke.Its worth
trying if nothing else moves it

It won't help you get the bolt out, but I have a similar problem with the
rocker box studs on my Troublehead Vibraglide.Water seeps and in causes
dissimilar metal corrosion. I slobber the studs up with anti sieze compound
and the rocker boxes slide right off when required.

FWIW I think top of the rudder is best for a single strobe (not too

should be good for any low-flying craft. If you can have two, put
them on wingtips

Rick P:
I use 4130 heat treated to RC 48.
Think it is 3/4 X .120 wall.
You can cut the standard length in half and still have enough to do a
good job.
Any good heating treating plant in your area can do the heat treating
for you.

| Subject: | Wing center section questions |
Working through various bits on my new old Ultrastar, and more confusion.
1. I didn't get a center gap seal with the plane; the previous owner flew
it without it. I'd like to replace it though... I like the idea of using
clear vinyl sheet (the kind convertible back windows are made from),
attached with velcro. I'm guessing .080 thick would be right? Does it go
all the way to the back on the bottom as well, covering the space behind
the cage, or does it end at the front spar on the bottom? Any comments?
2. On my plane, there is a short piece of tubing that slips tightly over
the wing leading edge tubes at the center (you slip it onto one, unfold the
wings, then slip it back until it overlaps both. I don't see this on the
plans nor is it mentioned in the manual, but it does seem it would add
rigidity. It also would help support the center gap seal.
3. On a picture of Ron Wehba's plane I can see a center rib that's
attached to the cage structure, but again, it's not mentioned on the
drawings and I see pictures of other planes that don't seem to have it. Is
it stock?
TIA, Dana

Hello All,
I have sold my Firestar II but I still have the trailer if any of you here
on the list are looking for one. It's a 2005 Haulmark, 24' with about 450
miles on it . completely set up for a FS II with an electric wench, tail
wheel ramp, tool box, etc. I'm asking $5000.00 but I would also consider a
trade for a camper trailer. Pictures can be seen at George Alexander's web
site or you can contact me "off list" and I will e-mail them to you.
Chris Mallory.

Dana...
I can only speak to item #2... That additional tube is an after thought and
an excellent idea... I have the same setup on my Firestar, really stiffens
up the leading wing leading edges and, as you said, it supports the gap seal
(wrap-around Lexan on mine)...

Hmmm, y'know, I know some people have alum gap seals but I never thought of
doing it that way until I saw your pictures, it looks nice. Actually it
might work better on the US since the engine's not above the wing, it could
be one piece all the way to the trailing edge on top... and I have all this
extra aluminum from another project... gotta think about this.

Here's another idea - this one on a Mk III. The red strobe is from Aircraft
Spruce, the chrome mount is a shower pipe cover from Ace Hardware.

Dana:
Some of us were using aluminum sheet gap seals in 1984 on our US's.
The nylon gap seals did not last long in a UV environment. We had to
come up with a good alternative.

| Subject: | Fuel cutoff valve: required or not? |
Gentlemen:
If you personally went through the inspection for an airworthiness
certificate, particularly if it was for an ELSA, can you tell me whether a
fuel cutoff value is required? My friend, Mark, believes that in a 'pump UP'
layout such as we have in our Kolbs, that they shouldn't be.
Thanks for your input,

Ken
I put a shut off valve on mine and my plane was inspected as a experimental
by some jerk out of the Grand Rapids MI. office. If you get the same guy he
was ONLY concerned about the paper work. His inspection consisted of making
sure the N numbers were the same on both sides of the plane, application
matched the data on the data plate and all the right info was correct on all
the forms etc. He wanted to hear the engine run and he was ready to sign
off. When I asked him to take a closer look at the plane he lifted the seat
belts and commented they didn't have the proper TSO numbers but he decided
to let me get away with them. A TSO number is not required on experimental
so from then on I decided to keep my mouth shut. A few years later I worked
with another inspector on the phone when I put the redrive on the engine
that was trying to do his job right but you just never know. The shut off
valve seemed like a good idea at the time but is it required?????

Jeremy,
Call Dick Kuntzleman and order a Radio power supply, they are only a few
ounces, I have one in my Loehle powered by a 503.
