I know it may not belong here, so I apologize in advance to the Kolb
purists. However, I felt many of you would enjoy reading this as much as I
did. After reading this, I guess my FSII and I are near the bottom of the
food chain.
SR71 - Speed is King
An excerpt from "Sled Driver" by Brian Shul
There were a lot of things we couldn't do in an SR-71, but we were the
fastest guys on the block and loved reminding our fellow aviators of this
fact. People often asked us if, because of this fact, it was fun to fly the
jet. Fun would not be the first word I would use to describe flying this
plane. Intense, maybe even cerebral. But there was one day in our Sled
experience when we would have to say that it was pure fun to be the fastest
guys out there, at least for a moment. It occurred when Walt and I were
flying our final training sortie. We needed 100 hours in the jet to
complete our training and attain Mission Ready status.
Somewhere over Colorado we had passed the century mark. We had made the
turn in Arizona and the jet was performing flawlessly. My gauges were wired
in the front seat and we were starting to feel pretty good about ourselves,
not only because we would soon be flying real missions but because we had
gained a great deal of confidence in the plane in the past ten months.
Ripping across the barren deserts 80,000 feet below us, I could already see
the coast of California from the Arizona border. I was, finally, after many
humbling months of simulators and study, ahead of the jet. I was beginning
to feel a bit sorry for Walter in the back seat. There he was, with no
really good view of the incredible sights before us, tasked with monitoring
four different radios. This was good practice for him for when we began
flying real missions, when a priority transmission from headquarters could
be vital. It had been difficult, too, for me to relinquish control of the
radios, as during my entire flying career I had controlled my own
transmissions. But it was part of the division of duties in this plane and
I had adjusted to it. I still insisted on talking on the radio while we
were on the ground, however.
Walt was so good at many things, but he couldn't match my expertise at
sounding smooth on the radios, a skill that had been honed sharply with
years in fighter squadrons where the slightest radio miscue was grounds for
beheading. He understood that and allowed me that luxury. Just to get a
sense of what Walt had to contend with, I pulled the radio toggle switches
and monitored the frequencies along with him. The predominant radio chatter
was from Los Angeles Center , far below us, controlling daily traffic in
their sector. While they had us on their scope (albeit briefly), we were in
uncontrolled airspace and normally would not talk to them unless we needed
to descend into their airspace.
We listened as the shaky voice of a lone Cessna pilot asked Center for a
readout of his ground speed. Center replied:
"November Charlie 175, I'm showing you at ninety knots on the ground."
Now the thing to understand about Center controllers was that whether they
were talking to a rookie pilot in a Cessna or to Air Force
One, they always spoke in the exact same, calm, deep, professional, tone
that made one feel important. I referred to it as the "Houston Center
Voice." I have always felt that after years of seeing documentaries on this
country's space program and listening to the calm and distinct voice of the
Houston Controllers, that all other controllers since then wanted to sound
like that ... and that they basically did. And it didn't matter what sector
of the country we would be flying in, it always seemed like the same guy
was talking. Over the years that tone of voice had become somewhat of a
comforting sound to pilots everywhere. Conversely, over the years, pilots
always wanted to ensure that, when transmitting, they sounded like Chuck
Yeager, or at least like John Wayne. Better to die than sound bad on the
radios.
Just moments after the Cessna's inquiry, a Twin Beech piped up on
frequency, in a rather superior tone, asking for his groundspeed.
"Ah, Twin Beach. I have you at one hundred and twenty-five knots of ground
speed."
Boy, I thought, the Beechcraft really must think he is dazzling his Cessna
brethren.
Then out of the blue, a Navy F-18 pilot out of NAS Lemoore came up on
frequency. You knew right away it was a Navy jock because he sounded very
cool on the radios.
"Center, Dusty 52 ground speed check."
Before Center could reply, I'm thinking to myself, hey, Dusty 52 has a
ground speed indicator in that million dollar cockpit, so why is he asking
Center for a readout? Then I got it, ol' Dusty here is making sure that
every bug smasher from Mount Whitney to the Mojave knows what true speed
is. He's the fastest dude in the valley today, and he just wants everyone
to know how much fun he is having in his new Hornet.
And the reply, always with that same, calm, voice, with more distinct
alliteration than emotion:
"Dusty 52, Center, we have you at 620 on the ground."
And I thought to myself, is this a ripe situation, or what? As my hand
instinctively reached for the mic button, I had to remind myself that Walt
was in control of the radios. Still, I thought, it must be done - in mere
seconds we'll be out of the sector and the opportunity will be lost. That
Hornet must die, and die now.
I thought about all of our sim training and how important it was that we
developed well as a crew and knew that to jump in on the radios now would
destroy the integrity of all that we had worked toward becoming. I was
torn. Somewhere, 13 miles above Arizona, there was a pilot screaming inside
his space helmet.
Then, I heard it. The click of the mic button from the back seat. That was
the very moment that I knew Walter and I had become a crew. Very
professionally, and with no emotion, Walter spoke:
"Los Angeles Center, Aspen 20, can you give us a ground speed check?"
There was no hesitation, and the replay came as if was an everyday request.
"Aspen 20, I show you at one thousand eight hundred and forty-two knots,
across the ground."
I think it was the forty-two knots that I liked the best, so accurate and
proud was Center to deliver that information without hesitation, and you
just knew he was smiling. But the precise point at which I knew that Walt
and I were going to be really good friends for a long time was when he
keyed the mic once again to say, in his most fighter-pilot-like voice:
"Ah, Center, much thanks. We're showing closer to nineteen hundred on the
money."
For a moment Walter was a god. And we finally heard a little crack in the
armor of the Houston Center Voice, when L.A. came back with, "Roger that
Aspen. Your equipment is probably more accurate than ours. You boys have a
good one."
It all had lasted for just moments, but in that short, memorable sprint
across the southwest, the Navy had been flamed, all mortal airplanes on
freq were forced to bow before the King of Speed, and more importantly,
Walter and I had crossed the threshold of being a crew. A fine day's work.
We never heard another transmission on that frequency all the way to the
coast. For just one day, it truly was fun being the fastest guys out there.

Posted: Thu Feb 01, 2007 7:59 pm Post subject: Mk 3 steel main gear legs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rex,
I have always used aluminum gear legs. I have bent one set in about 500
hours. Those were bent about 30 seconds after a rod bearing failed in a
582. I was over Tellico lake when the engine failed and used up all of my
excess air speed to clear a line of trees that was between me and the field
I was going to land in. After clearing the trees I was about 3 knots above
stall speed.....not enough to flare for a good landing.
Steven Green
----------------------------------------------------------
Thanks Steve,
I'm getting old and confused. I believe that TNK supplied some steel legs for
the Mark III a few years ago that were very soft and springy as compaired to the
new ones; and for some reason I thought you had them.............I may be wrong
about the legs also. Anyone know for sure?

Thanks for the info. I think they used to send the light weight fabric with
the MK III kits, but it just seems like it would need the medium weight
fabric, at least on the wings.
Later,
John Cooley
The weight the Kolb's use is the 2.7 oz. "medium weight" polyfiber.

Rex & Richard
I have a set of those gear legs installed in my VW powered MKIIIc. They are
indeed springy. When you land hard with a bit too much airspeed you will
find yourself 10ft in the air with very little airspeed. A blast of power
fixes the next landing. These gear have I would guess the third most air
miles as any Kolb. I bought them from ??? in Hawaii. He sold them because
they were too springy. Personally I think they are just right. When everyone
at Oshkosh is grumbling about how rough the ground is I just say "is it? I
can't really tell".
There are two things I would recommend doing to the gear before installing
them. These are the same gear that the Old Kolb sold but they welded a steel
tube 6 to 8 inches long on the end to carry the bending load further up into
the landing gear sockets. I would weld that same tube on. The next thing
would be to bend the gear down a bit to make the wheels run more vertical
(is that camber?). They squat a bit when the plane is loaded.

Bryan at Custom air tells me that the old tangs were 3/16 and needed to be drilled
out. However the new tangs are 7/32. So yu are right and wrong. I would drill
out to 7/32 not 1/4.

Subject: Kolb-List: Stainless steel tangs
In the manual for my M3X it says to drill the cable tang out to 1/4" on the
cable attach end. It looks like the fit of the cable thimble is better before
drilling.
I've looked thru a bunch of pictures i've taken of other peoples planes but that
level of detail is hard to find. I'm sure the M3X Kolb had @ Sun-n-Fun last year
did not have the tangs drilled. I'm resonably sure at least one other plane i
have pics of does have the tangs drilled to 1/4".
What has everyone else done? Drilled or not?
Thanks!

My tangs are 3/16 now so they need to be drilled. I also received a message

When I was in the midst of main gear straightening caused by my
horrible landing technique, I thought the way out was TNK's steel gear
legs. Now that I am pretty happy with my landings, I know I'm not going
to install them. $350 for the pair, plus shipping.

Had to dig out my receipt to get the answer to this one. Yes, I really don't
like Azusa brakes, although that's what's on my plane now.

Yup ! ! ! For drilling thin metal, or fairly thick for that matter, I
haven't found anything that cuts as smoothly as a unibit, or leaves such
a nicely finished hole. With care, it'll even leave it chamfered for
ya. Keep it in the plastic sleeve between uses. The cutting edges chip
easily. Lar.
