Re the third video, is the Hall ASI accurate when mounted that close to the
nose pod? The wind vane is an interesting touch, too...
Couple of points there, an engine failure would've been an, ah, interesting
problem...

Ted.
The harley was a bad idea. To heavy to loud. Very cool tho! The newer twin cam 88b engine is making it's way into heavier than Kolb aircraft. It uses a belt drive. Used to have a web site but it looks like it has changed or dropped out of site. Old URL was www.hog-air.com hmmm wonder what happened to Brett Ray?

Morning Scott:
I use a Sigtronics SPA400N, designed for the high noise environment.
However, another intercom is being offered that is probably as good or
better than the SPA400N, and that is the Sport 200. They also have a
Sport 200S that gives you a stereo capability.
I have been flying with the SPA400N and working with Sigtronics since
1992. They are good folks to work with. You can call them up and
talk to real people if you have a unique problem with installation or
use.
http://www.sigtronics.com/air/sport200.html
At the bottom of the page you can download PDF files which are the
installation instructions and diagrams for many different radios to
include handhelds like most of us use.
Sigtronics will be at Lakeland and OSH. See Mike Jones and tell him
Hauck sent you.

Hi Again:
Forgot to mention, one of the advantages of the Sigtronics intercoms
is artificial sidetone. Most of us use handheld radios which do not
have sufficient sidetone to hear well, especially us old guys that
have lost most of our hearing. The artificial sidetone works great.

Kolb Friends -
What's the recommended method for cleaning the K&N air filters on our
Rotax engines?
I have the prescribed K&N air filter oil ready to apply once they're
clean. But I didn't buy their expensive filter cleaning solution. Can
these filters be adequately cleaned using just warm water and a mild
detergent?

Sidetone ??? Can you tell me what that is ? I am using a handheld ICOM for a

It looks like a nice unit in a small package, I might have to get that one as well.

Sorry but I think that is rubbish, I have hundreds of hrs on belt drive

Also Harley and Buel motorcycles are belt driven and you don't see them

Dennis K:
I have been using K&N since day one, 1984. I tried the K&N filter
cleaning fluid, soak and water, and was never happy with the results.
Right or wrong, have been washing my K&N filters with gasoline. Let
them air dry. Oil with K&N filter oil for cotton filters, let the
soak over night, and put them back on the airplane. Be careful when
you purchase filter oil. First trip to Alaska I could not find the
correct K&N oil, so settled for K&N foam air filter oil. Really had a
mess on my hands the rest of the flight.

Sidetone is the ability to hear yourself speaking in the headset.
Without it, especially in a noisy environment, one tends to shout,
which is not necessary. Artificial sidetone is the sidetone being
generated by the Sigtronics intercom.

Hi Dennis,
Precisely. Mild solution of dishwashing detergent in warm water,
and I add to this a few drops of alcohol. Same solution works great to
clean windows.
Just be sure to rinse the filter well in clean water, and they can
be blow-dried with low-pressure compressed air. I let mine stand overnight
wrapped in paper towels, seems to wick the water out.

I immerse the filter in a bowl filled with water and a few ounces of
liquid laundry detergent (like Tide) and let it soak for 2 days. I
remove it and rinse it thoroughly under warm water. I let it air dry
for 2 days and then oil it. It's best to have two filters. One can be
soaking while the other is on the engine.

Guys
I have encountered some radios that have an adjustable sidetone... The
little Australian radio for one... if the adjustment is out, one can get
too much feed back in the head set and encounter microphonics...
whistling etc.. Herb

| Subject: | Engine mount/prop angle |
Hey Gang,
Last night after a long day I was sitting down just looking at Ms. Dixie and took
this picture.
http://groups.msn.com/AerialWorld/kolbra012.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=3250
I cant remember where i got the details on how or where to drill the mounting holes
in the aluminum angle for the engine but this picture sure makes my prop
tilted way back. Does this look normal for a Kolb or Kolbra to you guys?

Sorry but I think that is rubbish, I have hundreds of hrs on belt drive
engines with no probs.
Also Harley and Buel motorcycles are belt driven and you don't see them
snapping all the time and they are transmitting more power and more
aggressively than a VW conversion turning a prop.

<< ... El Paso and then up to Monument Valley for the Kolb fly-in in
mid-May. Dennis Kirby - I believe you're planning to fly up this year,
but you'll be starting from AZ and will probably be taking a different
route. >>
Arty, Larry, Will U, and MV Kolbers -
I will be flying my Mark-3 to MV from the Albuquerque area.
My plan is to depart Thursday morning (17 May).
Monument Valley is approx 300 air miles from Albuquerque.
It would be great to join up with you guys as you fly up from El Paso.
John Hauck plans to RON at my airport (Sandia East, 1N1) Wednesday
night. Maybe he could join the gaggle as well, Thursday morning. Plus,
a friend of mine is also planning to fly his Challenger up to MV to join
our event.
Easiest route for airplanes with 150-mile ranges (like mine) will be
west from Albuquerque (following I-40), refuel at Grants or Gallup, then
northwest via Window Rock to Chinle, AZ. Here, I plan to land and
transfer 5 gal of fuel from my ferry tank to the main tanks. (There are
no services at Chinle.) From Chinle, it is 85 miles to Gouldings. This
route generally follows roads the whole way.
It would be fun to fly the last 300 miles to Monument Valley as a flight
of six little airplanes!
Looking forward to seeing you all again ...

| Subject: | Re: Cleaning Air Filters |
I'm not sure just what solvent they use, but I was told that ordinary dish
detergent will do fine. Spray it on the outside, let it soak, then hose it
off from the inside with a low pressure hose with no nozzle. Do NOT use
compressed air, or high pressure water. The way it was explained to me was
that the high pressure will separate the fibers in the filter media,
creating holes. You don't want holes. You may not see them with the bare
eye, but they'll be there. Lar.

Hi Kip:
Weather is always good for Sun and Fun. Hope you can make it.
I have a doc's apt on Mon 16 Apr, so will not be able to depart Titus
until morning of 17 Apr. Have not tried to find out what the weather
is going to be doing that week, but hope it will be good.
I'll be camping in the UL tie down area where I always park right
inside the first gap.
Ya'll come,

Thanks for the warning about high pressure water Lar, I would have surely opened
up some holes [Shocked] For the Drying, a regular house fan blowing on
the filter will accelerate the process, probably be ready in a couple hours with
a good airflow over it.
Where is the best place to buy the K&N air filter Oil ?

| Subject: | helmet recommendations |
I searched the forum archives, but not much there re: helmet
recommendations....
Most everyone I know uses Comtronics or Lynx for helmets with comm, but I
was hoping there would be other (less expensive) options with good results.
Anyone with experience with helmets w/ comm have any suggestions? (And,
PLEASE name brand/model so I can find what it is you're talking about...)
Thanks!
