I start with a clean cut straight edge of fabric but going up and over any ribs that sit on top of a tube causes it to look crooked. Their seems to be no way to cut a crooked line that looks straight until its glued. Any tricks? Vic 912 Extra Maine

    From: "Rex Rodebush" <rrodebush@tema.net>
    I think Kolb supplied two designs for the steel legs. A very flexible version (I think Steve Green has these); and a very stiff, heat treated version which I think is now the standard. I traded my old aluminum legs to Travis & bought the new, stiff legs. I installed extensions so they go up to the top of the "V" in the cage. I had to use carbide bits to drill these. They were very tough. The deflection is minimal. See attached pictures for the extensions and the legs.

In the early-70s (when I was in high school), Kolb Rd was WAY out on the outskirts of Tucson - it was a favorite spot for drag racing and boony parties. Today, it's all developed.

    | See attached pictures for the extensions and the legs. | | Rex Rodebush Rex: I think you may be a bit confused on the steel gear legs. Normalized 4130 is stiff. When bent, it will remain bent. Heat treated 4130 is flexible. When bent, it will return to its original shape. It is now a spring. john h mkIII

Once you get the engine, wings, fuel, and your body in the airplane, the legs will get quite flexible. Without the weight, they will seem like they will not bend. john h mkIII

    Hi John, My understanding is that if you take a piece of 4140 normalized and bend it it will deflect to the yield point and then deform. If you take the same piece and heat treat it (heat, quench and draw) to a higher yield it will then bend and deflect but will require a much higher force to bend the same amount and will therefore be stiffer (and also harder with the higher yield). If I'm wrong on this let me know. Rex Rodebush Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=91599#91599

Also, I did not change the wing incendence. These legs plus the fat tires will set me up higher so I'm closer to a 3 point stall landing, which I want.

    Subject: antennas
    Several years ago there was a great hue and cry about trimming/ adjusting VHF antennas and their associated transmission lines/coax for exact SWRs. This so-called "problem" is greatly overrated at the transmitter power levels found in our powerful 1-5 watters. And the same obtains with the associated receiver. SWRs of 2:1, even 3:1 won't "blow" the final amp in the xmtr; nor will there be much perceived loss of rcvr sensitivity. Antenna placement and altitude are much larger factors. Bob N. You are exactly correct with regard to 2 to 1 and a properly tuned antenna at 1 to 1 in the center of the band will probably have a 2 to 1 at each end... but 3 to 1 is a stretch for me... and for those who don't check it.... who knows what it really is.

I left the incidence per what was called for in the plans. Would be nice to have less incidence, probably pick up a few mph by having the tail boom fly straight through the air, rather than at an angle which increases drag. A little late for that at this time. Don't want to change windshield, quarter windows, and lift struts. I am pretty happy with 88 mph at 5,000 rpm empty with 10 gal fuel. Of course this slows down to around 80 to 85 when I am seriously loaded to go traveling. Still a decent cruise speed that has proven, if I am patient, I can get there and get home. john h mkIII

This allows you to add washers on either side to raise or lower the trailing edge. I wanted these just in case I needed them for fine tuning. I think they were made so you could compensate for the new gear. Travis could give you the details. Rex Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=91665#91665

The tailwheel was on a small 3 wheeled dolly and a wind gust caught the wings and pushed them into a 4x4 support post. The result was ugly and made me sick.

    Paul, It is poly tone on the fabric. I have cub yellow areothane on the boom tube and it has the spots too. I will probably use the Air Tech system on the MK III based on information I got from a guy that has done a good many cover jobs. I know that most folks on here use the poly fiber system and Jim and Dondi Miller are great folks but my experience with the cub yellow has really turned me off. It has happened to me on two different planes and I have seen the same spotting to a lesser degree in other poly fiber cub yellow paint jobs. Besides, the Air Tech looks like will be easier to apply. I hope to get started covering the MK III this summer. Speaking of covering MK III's what weight fabric are you folks using?

It's harder in the winter, where before you fly you have to plow the runways, taxiways, and your hangar area. But it's still fun and worthwhile.

    Anybody know a Charles Brown of Tucson, AZ? He built my Kolb Firestar II in 1996/1997. The telephone listed on the owners manual is no longer valid. I have a couple of questions I wanted to see if he could answer about my aircraft. Thanks~! Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=91727#91727
