I'm quite used to people that believe in all kinds of strange ideas. Some that I know even teach their children that the concept of a father that plots to have his own son put to death is something beautiful and worthy of societies admiration. What types of human behavior can then be taught to them as being reprehensible? All these ideas were presented to the world by men that thought the world was flat, the sun orbited the earth, etc, etc. and that man couldn't ever fly. Let alone in a Kolb. Kirk Smith aka; Snuffy

    I am just wondering if the twinstar is a good solid plane that flys well and just an older versiion of the Mark lll. Or is the Mark lll just so much better that one shouldn't even consider the older twinstar. Joe Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=105621#105621

    I have checked my clevis pins many times over the years and they don't seem to wear. I have replaced the wing pins only 3 times in 20 years only because I thought I should.

I recall seeing the square tubing to which the wing tabs are attached ripped in half - but I have never seen a failed pin. So, for crash loading (and probably inflight loading as well) you will probably have more productive time worrying about the strength of the tube to which the pin is attached because it appears to be the weaker link. Personally I have spent more time thinking about the safety pin falling out or ... thinking if I actually installed the pin or not. When you land and are putting the airplane away and find an unused safety pin ... then you'll spend more time thinking / worrying about more worthwhile things.

    Subject: Powerfin Prop & safety wire
    Do you need to safety wire the outer two bolts on the Power Fin prop? I went ahead and did them but it looks real funky. I'm thinking on removing them. I'm more worried about throwing the prop out of balance with that much safety wire that far out on the prop.

    Some that I know even teach their children that the concept of a father that plots to have his own son put to death is something beautiful and worthy of societies admiration. Kirk Actually it's your Understanding of what God did for you that needs Review..... You fail to see the sacrifice made for you and choose to explain it away as a Plot to kill kids.... You attempt to Demonize the history instead of reading and understanding why it happened.... In reality the Bible is Actually the Greatest Love Story ever written..... John 3:16 go read it.. It was no plot as you allege but a Demonstration of Love using a sacrifice which was a common occurrence in the day... What greater show of Love to his own Creation than to send and sacrifice him self in the form of a man JESUS? Then Prove to the world that he was the TRUE god by coming back to life as predicted and Promised... It was a demonstration of power and Love to a people searching for a real GOD... If you read the bible you'll see that Christ had many opportunities to deny who he was and escape the painful death he endured AND that he predicted was coming, yet didn't........ Instead he wilfully chose the Cross for you.. "PLOT" ok yes it was a plot by GOD but not as you believe, The only " Plot " was to show Man how much he was loved by their true creator... Kirk You today have the same Choice to believe or deny what's been given you... Like a horse led to the watering hole you get to choose if your thirsty enough to drink... Its your choice as it was in the day of Christ... You can deny him as many did then or Believe and praise him as many do today... Either way the Balls in your court... Kirk He has Risen..... And To steal a phrase from Ripley " Believe it or not "... 8-) Happy Easter...

    Subject: MKIII Update
    Morning Gang: Happy Easter! Trying to get my old mkIII updated and ready to fly to Lakeland. Attached a couple photos of the new, shiny engine on the airframe with exhaust installed. A major break was discovering the Airquip engine oil outlet fitting was going to clear the root tube without using bushings to raise the engine. I did not know if there was going to be enough clearance until we set the engine on the airframe. So..........the engine will remain the same altitude with the 70" prop as it did with the 72"prop. This will give me 1.75" inches clearance from the tail boom. the 70" runs much quieter than the 72". Cruises the same and sacrifices a tad of climb performance. Not much. Should be able to get the engine installed today, minus coolant hoses which Paul P is sending me in the morning. Got all the other jillion parts necessary to do an update. Took a while to get it all together. Ronnie Smith is sending me a replacement carb for the new one on the engine. Got to get a new Hawker Odyssey battery. Can get one locally. I use a PC535, 13 AH, 13 lbs: http://www.batterymart.com/p-odyssey-pc535-battery.html Well.........this is getting exciting. Always fun to get a new engine set up and ready for the first startup. Times a wasting! john h mkIII DO NOT ARCHIVE

    Looks great John. I need to make one of those caps for the rear of cockpit, I just have the opening that goes to the prop. Were you running just a .75 inch prop clearance with the larger 72 inch prop ? Also why are you putting a new carb on, did you not like the ones that came with the engine ?

    Subject: Re: Kolb Wing Attach Points
    Good analysis Jack. I don't know about others but I like to see hard math solutions. One question though, the pin itself is about .25 in diameter that would take down the psi value by .75 wouldn't it? I have often seen that and just as often thought that if its predicated on per square inch then when using a fastener a fraction of a square inch then the strength value should be adjusted accordingly. So if you would what is the real sheer value, or the bend tolerance value of the pin using the math. I am also wondering about SS fasteners. In several places I replaced AN bolts with SS bolts. I think I came across somewhere in the past that standard SS fasteners are stronger in all respects than AN fasteners. Would you know anything about that? I can't remember where to look up those values. Ron (Arizona) ======================== ---- "Jack B. Hart" <jbhart@onlyinternet.net> wrote: ============ At 05:06 PM 4/5/07 -0700, you wrote: Michael, I got to wondering what would be the load and stress condition on the strut and main wing attachment pins for the FireFly. I took some measurements from the FireFly. I found: Distance from upper fuselage pin to end of wing - 10.5 feet Distance from upper fuselage pin to upper strut pin - 3.83 feet Angle of strut to wing - 45 degrees. Assuming a gross weight of 500 pounds, one can simulate the loading by placing a point load of 250 pounds at the center of the wing. Below is a crude representation of the wing. "A" represents the upper fuselage pin. "B" represents the upper strut pin(s). "L" is the lift concentrated at the center of the wing over the main spar. We can get away with this because we are interested in pin loads and not the stress distribution of the main spar. "y-up" indicates the load pin is up, etc. y-up y-up A<----3.83'---->B<-1.42'->L<-------------5.25'------------| y-down 250# Summing the moments about Pin A gives: 5.25' x 250# - By x 3.83' = 0 By = 5.25x250/3.83 = 343# Summing forces in Y gives Ay = 343 - 250 = 93# up Looking at the strut attachment, we know it lies at a 45 degree angle. Therefore we know that Bx has to have a value of 343 pounds. Multiplying by the square root of two tells that the upper strut attachment pins must share 485 pounds and this total load must be carried by the single lower pin. The upper wing support pin must with stand the square root of 93 squared plus 343 squared, which equals 355 pounds. Therefore for a one g the loads are: Wing fuselage attachment pin -> 355# Upper wing strut pins -> 243# each Lower wing strut pin -> 485# The FireFly info states it was designed for 4 g yield and 6 g ultimate. For the single lower strut 5/16 inch OD pin the corresponding loads would be 1,832# and 2,910#. Looking at the lower end structure the pin is supported in a 9/16 inch wide clevis. Calculating the bending stress for the pin with the load placed at the pin center calculates out to be 58,000 psi for 4 g and 92,000 psi for 6 g. The minimum tensile stress values for 4130 is 75,000 psi yield and 95,000 psi ultimate. This indicates for the FireFly there is a safe margin for the pin at 4 g with no deformation. If you want to put it through 6 g the pin may deform but it is not likely to separate. Never thought I would do this. But since the question came up and it is cold and snowing, here it is. It all goes to show that if you are gentle in the way you treat your FireFly, it will be kind to you too. Jack B. Hart FF004 Winchester, IN -- kugelair.com

    Hi Mike: My mistake. I meant to say fuel pump. For years Pierberg supplied Rotax with 912 fuel pumps. They went out of business and looks like an AC on there now. Rotax has a recall on certain serial number engines that have these new pumps installed. Mine was one of them. It is an even swap with Rotax for the replacement. Ronnie Smith is sending me one that should get here in a couple days. Something about possible fuel overpressure. Sorry for the confusion. Would like to swap Bing carbs for fuel injection though. ;-) -------- John Hauck MKIII/912ULS hauck's holler, alabama Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=105683#105683

    Subject: Re: Fiberglass Fuel Tank
    Thanks Craig, It is a 2 part Split mold that incorporates a joggle to allow for an internal overlap seam. This is a negative draft shape so you have to go two part. The first generation tooling that you see here is what I pulled the parts off. If I need to make more I will pull a Mold Master from these and make a production mold. I used basic Polyester Resin and tooling quality Gelcoat. The Tank you saw on the past post is actually a trial run to see if everything goes together and a final real version will be made of resins more suitable for gasoline and the newer 10% ethanol fuels. The lower part of the tank is the same part with the flange cut off. It can be cut to any length to allow for a range of 5 gal through 9 gal. I understand that you have done quite a bit of glass work so I am interested in your input. Steve Boetto FF 007 ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

So if you would what is the real sheer >value, or the bend tolerance value of the pin using the math. Two points: First, the tables giving the rated strength of AN fasteners list the actual strength (tensile or shear) of that particular fastener, in pounds, so no calculation is necessary. If you *were* doing the calculation, you'd figure the cross sectional area; for a 1/4" diameter pin the area is 0.049 in=B2. For bending it's a different situation. The tables don't list this (since bolts aren't supposed to be loaded in bending). In this case you have to treat it as a little beam, figuring the length, loads, diameter, and moment of inertia to calculate the actual stress. A pin or bolt that's double the diameter has 4X the tensile or shear strength, and 8X the bending strength. -Dana -Dana > I am also wondering about SS fasteners.

    Hi all, Am working on the gap seal on My Mark 3x. The fairing comes supplied with Velcro to fasten the fairing to the windshield. This leaves a gap/step along the front edge of the fairing about 1/8" to 3/16"and --- 1. Looks bad to me 2. Leaves an area that would allow air pressure to get under the front edge (trying to peel it up) 3. Allow water/moisture access (not good for the adhesive) 4. Doesn't seem like it would do a very good job of smoothing the air flow with that much of a lip. Was wondering how others have treated this area.

Dana, In the analysis I used there was a built in fudge factor, in that I did not remove the weight of the wing. The upper pins support only that weight of the structure attached to the wing. Assuming each wing weighs 30 pounds (I have never weighed one), the one g pin loads would be reduced. Therefore the one g loads change from => to: Wing fuselage attachment pin -> 355# => 312# Upper wing strut pins -> 243# each => 214# Lower wing strut pin -> 485# => 427# The 4g/6g load on the lower strut pin would be 1708#/2562# and the corresponding pin bending stress would be 54,100psi/81,100psi. On heat treated bolts the yield strength moves higher toward the ultimate strength. Assuming 0.7 x 125,000 = 88,500 psi is the yield strength, the lower pin is not loaded beyond the elastic limit. Both of the 4g/6g stresses give a greater than 1.5 safety factor (1.64/1.54). If the pin size was reduced from 5/16 to 1/4 inch OD, the 4g/6g pin stress would be 78,200psi/117,300psi. The safety factor calculates out to 1.13/1.07. Jack B. Hart FF004 Winchester, IN

    I have no problem dealing with opposing points of view on religion. That's my job description. That's where I live. Bring it on, no problem. My problem is with someone gratuitously starting something inappropriate to the list that is unnecessary, uncalled for and rude. This is not about religion, it is about gross bad manners on the list.

    Subject: Planet Earth
    I just watched the Polar episode of the Planet Earth series on Discovery HD Channel, and was spellbound at the photography. This is among the most terrific shows I've ever seen, and I can only wish I had the opportunities to try and duplicate their work, but they had 5 years to totally dedicate to it, and apparently a great source of funds, too. I'm very glad I sprang for the HD set - there's nothing like it. Some of their work I can attempt in Vamoose - one of these days. Others......they had to have used those little 2 man portable hot air balloons they showed in Africa to get way above the critters and use a strong telephoto for the shots. The animals didn't seem disturbed, so it had to be something quiet like that. Does anyone know more about them ?? I can see a use for at least 3 flying machines. A Kolb to duplicate the kind of great shots Larry Cottrell took last week on his "strafing run," which hadta be a gas. Then, the balloon, to hover more or less quietly, way above the action, and a powered parachute to cruise slowly thru the hills, forests or mountains. Hmmm.........all that and a boat, too ?? Let's see - how big a trailer would I need ?? What a way to dream away a Sunday afternoon, eh ?? DayDreamin' Lar. Do not Archive.

I even preached a sermon about it.

    Mike, The gap seal material that was supplied in my kit for the Mark3x (2) Wing Nose Ribs as formers .060 Lexan sheet for covering 1/2" Aluminum Angle for bracing (1) Fiberglass Windshield/Gap Seal Fairing (2) Springs to hold down the rear end of the gap seal Velcro to attach the Fiberglass fairing to the windshield The gap seal is removed by releasing the Velcro between the fiberglass fairing & windshield at the front/sides and detaching the two springs at the rear. My concern is the large lip created by the velcro/fiberglass fairing combination, across the top of the windshield. Are other builders using the velcro to attach the fiberglass fairing to the windshield or are there better methods to accomplish this?

    I too don't worry about the pins breaking. Falling out maybe. Although my plane is parked near the house in the summer it IS out of view. I am perhaps a little paranoid about the safety pins and possible brainless pranksters, so I make a point of either feeling or viewing each and every pin at each preflight. Since I never fold them I will most likely go to regular threaded pins soon. My only modification has been a splop of clear RTV at the lower strut attach to stop the taxi rattles. It pulls off easily when the struts are removed in the winter. BTW, a snap roll, performed at near stall and providing you have enough rudder to get it to go, doesn't stress anything much. -Maybe the pilot? :) The worst that can happen is you will be looking at the ground through the front. window.

The fairing comes supplied with Velcro to fasten the fairing to the windshield. This leaves a gap/step along the front edge of the fairing about 1/8" to 3/16"and --- 1. Looks bad to me 2. Leaves an area that would allow air pressure to get under the front edge (trying to peel it up) 3. Allow water/moisture access (not good for the adhesive) 4.

    | | I like the new landing gear. | | Todd Hi Todd: Is it ok to talk about Kolb aircraft, or do I have to piss and moan about religion, dead bunnies, and busted easter eggs. BTW I did not get the first easter egg or dead bunny today. I am disappointed. However, I did get a belly full of whining about "my" religion and somebody else's dead bunny and busted easter eggs. Actually, those high speed, low drag, landing gear are quite old. Those came in my 1986 Firestar kit, 5" Azusa nylon wheels and little bitty tires. Flew my first flight in the FS with them and immediately took them and the standard 1" aluminum gear legs off and replaced with something a little more substantial. Not being blessed with a 50 by 100 ft hanger/shop to work in, I have to make do with what I have. I build airplanes in a shoe box of a basement. No way I could get the fuselage inside with the standard Hauck Gear installed. So.........I use my Ernie Gear, named after my old Bassett Hound, Ernie Hauck. They come in handy for more than just squeezing the fuselage into the basement. When I transported the broken mkIII from Muncho Lake, BC, July 2000, I was able to load the fuselage in the enclosed 24' trailer by myself with my little Ernie Gear installed. Of course, I had no choice because I had destroyed the Hauck Main Gear in the accident. So that's the story and I am sticking to it. Wonder if we will get another dead bunnie next year? john h mkIII PS: I like "spirituality" much better than "religion" anyhow. Man makes too many rules to follow with his religions. Spirituality has no rules and a direct link with the Man!!! Hang in there folks. Better times are coming, and I'm going flying this week. ;-)
