Dont know if the prop side is the same bolt circle as the Kleiv but your welcome to it. Two things I noticed about your photo are 1. your prop hub doesn't seam to be completly sandwiched. Is this normal? 2. Why did you go with castel nuts and cotter pins? Just curious.... One more question does the Kleiv hub have the larger diamater bolt circle with the bored holes for the rotax lugs? From evey one i have talked to the rotax lugs and 8mm bolts are the strongest combo for what it's worth. -------- Paul Petty Kolbra #12 Ms Dixie painting and reassembly Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=99361#99361 ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 04:22:33 PM PST US Subject: Kolb-List: nose cones From: "Paul Petty" Hey gang lets talk nose cones. I am not real happy with mine as well as others. I know the fine folks at TNK do their best with these and for the most part they are holding up but mine is like paper thin. It will crack if you look at it funny. Wonder if Uncle Craig would consider making us some carbon fiber nose cones with perhaps some special reinforcements where we might like to mount say an antenna or something elese? -------- Paul Petty Kolbra #12 Ms Dixie painting and reassembly Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=99362#99362 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/p3060047_190.jpg ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 07:32:57 PM PST US From: "boyd" Subject: Re: Re: Kolb-List: radio noise I am a bit confused as to how you would ground the coax at the radio end. There is only a BNC connector at the radio end. Sorry, but you are going to have to be a little more specific for me. :{-) Larry, Oregon do not archive if you are using a handheld it would be difficult..... but if you have a panel mount... it is more than likely grounded through the mounting hardware. On the antenna end the grounding would depend on what you are using for a ground plane.

FireFly 070 Old Kolb http://www.angelfire.com/rpg/ronoy/ chokes and coils are funny animals, especially when hooked up to radios and antennas. But in short,,, by running a coax through a ferrite ring will in effect create a transformer, in that some of the energy traveling through the wire will cause movement of electrons to run around the ring. This would stop the offending energy from getting to the radio or from the radio to the antenna... Depending on the frequency of the interference and the number of turns around the ring, the size of the ring, the offending interference can be eliminated.... but on the other hand some of the RF signal can also be eliminated. As to the electrical length.... it could or will have an affect on the impedance which could cause you to change electrical lengths to compensate. but chokes and coils work generally in 1 of 2 ways... they are designed to block a signal,,, or pass a signal... what we would want on an antenna would be a pass filter, designed to pass all of the radio signals in the range we want to use and block all others. Or if you have interference at a specific frequency,,, you would want a notch filter to eliminate the offending interference. And unless you are more skilled than I,,,,, the production of these devices is not best achieved by a back yard experimenter.

BUTT, maybe things have changed of late. Speaking of backyards, some 40 years ago I had a 25' dish, with a homemade 1KW transmitter on 432.000 mHz aimed at the moon.
