Speaking of logos...
Here is my newly acquired logo that represents life as I see it. No, it is not
directly Kolb related but it does have to do with the care and feeding of things
that fly :-).

Need trailer ideas for transporting a Kolb Mark III

Hi, Alex - Welcome to the Kolb List!
I frequently transport my Mark-III on an open trailer.
Last May, I trailered it from Albuquerque to Monument Valley, to attend
our annual "Kolb Unofficial, Unorganized Monument Valley Fly-In." About
450 miles each way. The Kolb did fine. My arrangement has the nose
pointing forward. If you secure it properly, to prevent flight surfaces
from flapping and keep the wings from swaying back & forth, your Kolb
will do just fine on an open trailer.
I built a special fuselage support dolly for my plane that also has
padded saddles to support the wings. It sits on an old tire on the
trailer deck to help absorb road vibration.
Someone on this List (I do not remember who) has collected various
pictures of Kolbs on trailers, and has posted them on his website. (Can
anyone provide this website?) Also, check the archives - there was much
discussion on this topic last October.

There's a relatively new 'clamp' for silicone hose that's basically a
ring of heat shrink tubing. I think that it's made by Gates. A friend
has been flying with it on his radiator hoses (alternative engine
homebuilt) for years.
I'll try to find a link if you want it.

Remember, this is for coolant hose. Smallest dia listed is 1/2".
Go to
http://www.mcmaster.com/
& type 'hose clamp' in the search engine, then click 'coolant hose
clamps'. It should jump to the plastic shrink to fit hose clamps.
For just a little reality check, there's now a hose for something like
250 psi that doesn't require a clamp; just uses the retention of the
barbs to hold it on the connector.

| Subject: | Landing distances |
After some careful, but not scientifically accurate, measurements, I've
determined the following for my aircraft:
Min takeoff: 400'
Min landing: 500'
Realistic takeoff: 500'
Realistic landing: 600'
This is in a Kolb Mark II with a Rotax 503, flying consistently at gross
weight of 750 lbs. I do have brakes, but they're the go-cart cable type and
hardly effective. They're not useful on landings or for short field takeoff
technique, only for slowing down while taxiing.
How do these compare to what the rest of you experience?

Really! 500 ft for landing???
Two foot ball fields end to end ???
I would have thought less...
Is this also the case for a Firestar II ????
The KOLB site doesn't list the landing distance but has
take off at 200 ft with a 503... Do we assume at Gross weight ?
How far off are these figure???? 8-/
Thanks!

Like most mfgs of any sort of product, I'm sure they put the figures out
that have the most "wow" factor. Not to say they're wrong, but they probably
were generated under the most favorable conditions imaginable: a very light
ship with a very light pilot carrying a gallon or two of fuel on a low DA
day and with a stiff headwind. Don't get me wrong, I love my Kolb! But as
you say, what's realistic?
I don't claim to be a 'hot stick' so it's quite possible others can fly
their ships at slow enough speeds, and possibly with some help from flaps
which I don't have, and get it slow enough to stop much more quickly. But
that's why I asked, to see what others are doing.
