just in case someone needs it, I have a whole 430 cuyunna engine available.
It has been run but I do not know much about the history. I have had it for
about five years or so in my hanger. It was to be used on a mini max so I
have the reversed fan for it also. I have numerous parts, mufflers, etc. if
anyone would be interested. I have no doubt this would run well. I also
have two brand new mukini carbs. Ted Cowan, Alabama

Bill,
The landing area of that ski jump looks like a good place to do a zero roll landing
in a Kolb.... up hill of course. Just flare really hard as you are about
to hit the hill and plop!, you have arrived.

My Kolb Firestar has 180 hours on the engine. Everything seems to be running fine.
I have full instruments and have never noticed any deviation from normal temp.
I've been told that I should have the engine sent back to CPS for a 150 hour
inspection. Is this recommended? What are most of you pilots doing? Thanks.

John, First take the exhaust manifold off and take a look at the cylinders
and pistons. If there's no evidence of seizure or excessive carbon buildup,
fly on. This will only cost a couple of bucks for new gaskets. This will
tell you everything you need to know without doing a teardown and splitting
the cases.

Have the engine never been decarboned?
Rotax recommends that it be inspected every 50 hours and decarboned as needed.
I decarbon mine at 100 hours and I have never been able to detect a ring that
is stuck on the end by checking it through the exhaust port. I have never failed
to find a stuck oil ring at 100 hours. My engines have always run good with
stuck oil rings, I just don't want to push it too far. My last 100 hours was
with Pennsoil Air cooled, injected, and even that didn't help.
Here is my best advise: If you do choose to not decarbon, at least stop flying
when the engine gets difficult to start. I believe that is the engines last call
for help, and the next thing it will do is quit on you. Just my opinion, after
18 years of flying Rotax two cycles.

I had 147 hours on the 447 and it had a good amount of carbon. I'm glad I decided
to decarbon it. The rings were free and It would have been OK for a while longer.
I run Pennsoil for air cooled engines at 50:1 premix.
After I had decarboned it I noticed some oil dripping from the front of the engine
and I had to remove the engine and replace the oil seals. I did this at about
160 hours.
Here is how it looked before I did any decarboning. Looking at the rings from
the exhaust port always looks good. If it looks bad then it is probably really,
really, bad.

rhaul
Scott, I've got about 460 hours on my 447 and it's never been
overhauled. I've looked at the pistons and cylinder walls through the
exhaust port and it's very clean with no carbon. I attribute that to
the synthetic oil I use. My first engine had about the same hours and
it looked just as good. I don't plan on doing anything for at least
another 200 hours. Of course I fly at 5000 RPM which should be prime
for carboning up.

Hi John
Thanks for the great pics! It's neat to see a Kolb flying at night. The
closest I came to flying at night was one time when I hit a head wind while
trying to get home, the cars had their head light on and all the lights were
on in town, I had to make 2 passes down the runway to scare the deer away
and then line up between the trees and hoped for the best. :-)

Fellow Kolbers,
It's painful, but I have to sell my kit...
The wings & flaperons & tail surfaces are done. The powder coated fuselage
is on the steel gear with obrien brakes. Tail boom in. Dual controls & seats
are in. Floorpan & instrument pod is done. It needs covering, instruments &
engine. Wings & tail surfaces had been aligned & attached. Now they're off
ready for cover.
See at Barnstormers.com Search for Kolb Mark III xtra
