Vic, My Mk 3 got very mild flutter as low as 70 mph. At 80 it was much more like Possum describes, but the hinge failures didn't happen, thank the dear Lord. Even if you get no failures, it pretty much ruins your flying day and possibly a pair of shorts. Talk to Travis and get them put on, you'll really like your airplane a whole lot better.

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." This leads me off on a tangent about the "ignition noise leaks". My handheld Yuasa worked okay in my 503-powered Firestar II for years, but then got so that when I transmit, all I seem to put out is engine noise. (Reception is still okay). I had the radio overhauled with no improvement. Could something have changed about the engine -- i.e., an "ignition noise leak" that wasn't there before? If this is a possibility, what should I look for?

If the electrical system is done right, resistor plugs don't really help the radio much, and considering the small spark plug gap that Rotax calls for, the spark plugs apparently need all the energy they can get, not more resistance. Yet Rotax specifies them, and lots of people use them, so what do I know?

The Mizer people claim that their transducer (i.e., the device that the gas actually flows through) is better than the one that comes with the Navman device. They claimed the Navman had a higher differential pressure between the incoming and outgoing flow and that that could make a difference. Now, I used a Navman for 2 years in a RANS S12XL w/ 503 without a single blip, so even if Mizer does have a better transducer, I don't think it's necessary for our installations. More importantly, if they are TRULY using a better transducer, then they may be justified in raising the price. Then the decision is our as to whether the better transducer is worth the extra money. In my opinion, it's not, which is why I bought a Navman for my Kolb. -- Robert P.S. A fuel flow meter, in my humble opinion, while not a critical instrument like an air speed indicator or CHT gauge, it ranks right up there with the 2nd layer of important instruments. I had a situation with my RANS that was very subtle, once caused an engine-out on climb-out (no resulting damage) and would have been impossible to figure out had I not had the Navman in place. By seeing that, only in high flow situations, my fuel flow wasn't what it had been and should be, I was able to narrow down the problem to my electric fuel pump. Turned out one of the check valve balls in it got stuck and was restricting the flow, but during most situations, it wasn't noticeable. Only once, during a full-throttle climb-out, did I use up more fuel than could be supplied, and thus the engine-out. There were a few times when I was flying straight-and-level at full throttle that it seems the engine wasn't quite getting ample fuel (a microsecond hesitation, from time to time), and the Navman helped me figure it out. I highly recommend you put one in your UL/LSA, if you at all can.

The static port is now routed to just about a foot back from the instrument panel about where the negative pressure from the nose cone and the positive pressure from the fuselage tube meet. It seems to be pretty accurate now. Before, I routed the static port line, I use to get an airspeed error of about 3 mph at stall and about a 7 mph at cruise due to the building vacuum caused by the shape of the nose, doors and windshield. ________________________________ Message 35 ____________________________________ Time: 12:10:45 PM PST US From: "Kolbdriver" Subject: RE: Kolb-List: Re: Transition aircraft -> to Kolb Firestar Another Satisfied customer!!!

In my Mark III Classic, I can see the fuel level in the starboard tank, so I made fuel selector valves to direct the fuel injection return line to either tank. So, when the fuel level gets low in the starboard tank I run off some from the port tank. When the port tank is empty, I can see how much fuel that is left. Not fancy, but it works. Also, I carry a small mirror for seeing things behind me such as elevator and rudder movement and other traffic. It also helped in trimming the flaps and ailerons to be able to see them under flight loads. ________________________________ Message 39 ____________________________________ Time: 12:29:34 PM PST US From: APilot@webtv.net Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Bummer Too bad that you are not near Reno. The FAA office there has a very helpful inspector named Don Morgan.

I will talk to Travis about the counter balancers for the ailerons. One reason that I have not, as yet, had aileron flutter is because I set my ailerons up slightly to get some reflex in the wing. That adds a small down load on them at higher speeds. I do not know where the neutral load is, but I would guess it is about 5 mph above stall speed. My fears are with high speed flutter. In fact, now that I think about it, my Mk III acts kind of funny just above stall speed. Maybe that is why because aileron movement will aggravate yaw. Next time that I get that funny feeling, I will look out at the ailerons and see if they are moving. In some flight testing films on flutter, sometimes the flutter cannot be seen and the control surface just leaves the aircraft. It is a bad situation. ________________________________ Message 41 ____________________________________ Time: 01:15:04 PM PST US From: "Kolbdriver" Subject: RE: Kolb-List: pitot tube Aircraft Spruce has one that is simple and less than $20 bucks Al tube with Flange for mounting.. http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/inpages/pitot15144.php There is no pic but it looks like this one except there are 2 tubes, Static and Pressure.. http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/inpages/unheatedptubes4.php Mike -----Original Message----- From: owner-kolb-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-kolb-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Charlie England Sent: Saturday, January 13, 2007 12:15 PM Subject: Re: Kolb-List: pitot tube Or to keep it light, just make it from 1/4" aluminum tubing.
