Hi Folks:
The 912ULS is installed, except for a couple wires and the reg/rec. I
have attached some photos of the nice compact 100 hp package.
Tomorrow will try to get the lexan windshield, doors, and rear quarter
windows cut and installed.
Thurs get the Hauck Gear back under the fuselage after we get it out
of the basement. See if the engine will run after I install the Warp
Drive.
If we have time, will load it up on the deck over and haul it 3 miles
to the airstrip, put the wings and gap seal on, and see if it will
still fly. ;-)
Miss P'fer (pronounced peefer) has not been airborne since 22 Aug 06.
She is as anxious as I am to get flying again.
This will give me a couple days to get everything dialed in and learn
how to fly again. Tue morning will load her up and head for Lakeland.
Take care,
john h

Morning Rex:
Thanks.
I talked to Rick Thomason recently. Still no go on new systems. I
picked up mine at his home in Memphis in November 2005. At that time,
he was about out of systems. Have had problems keeping components and
welds from cracking. First cracks showed at 35 hours, the time I flew
the Texax Beach Run with John W, Gary H. Then again at 150+ hours
developed more cracks. John W has had some cracking problems with his
system also. I would venture to say that we are not the only ones of
that run of 25 systems that are having problems. I don't know what
his "real" intentions are now.
We did some welding on my exhaust system last week. We shall see how
it hold together. I might add that none of the damage has been
catastrophic, and all damage has been to the silencers and none of the
four 180 degree outlet tubes. I had no idea of the last cracks until
I removed the system from my old 912ULS. So, that is a little more
comforting knowing that most likely I will not be put down if I
develope more exhaust cracks.
On the other hand, problems with the Titan exhaust were broken tubes
at the heads. As the result an immediate power loss was felt, the
three times I broke tubes on the last Titan exhaust system I used,
plus there was always the possibility of the pipe going through the
prop if it let go.
Seems exhaust systems have been the weak link for the 912 series
engines since I started flying them in 1994. When we mounted the
first 912 there were no exhaust systems available. That is when we
initially tried four straight stacks 30" long. What a beautiful
sound, but so loud, two hours into the flight to Lakeland, 1994, my
head was throbbing. Homer Kolb was ecstatic when I did a low pass and
poured on the coal coming around to land at Lakeland. The Lakeland
"hall monitors" chastised me severely for having a loud Rotax. ;-)

Sounds like a harmonic vibration from the engine and/or prop.
The way to stop it is to stiffen the wing rigidity or change the engine mounting
by perhaps softening the engine/airframe interface. Also check prop balance.
Perhaps the rubber lord mounts are getting old and hard and need replacement?
Its possible that the proximity of the prop to the wing has an effect.
Make any one of those changes and it should change your bounce speed or perhaps
eliminate it altogether.
I would definately check the integrity of the wing and all attach points for wear
though as a first step......that bounce can't be good for it and if things
get looser as a result you could get wing flutter, which is a life threatening
event.....make sure your chute is in good working order.

I tried to get an STE Exhaust system for almost a year now. I waited six months
+ and finally just had to buy a Titan. Rick Thomason is a very nice guy,
and he finally sold me his prototype system, but I have the titan on right now.
Rick is having trouble finding someone that will fabricate and weld the exhaust
systems at a reasonable price. Rick is aware of the weld cracking problems
and says that will be improved on the next batch. If he ever gets the STE
systems produced, I will buy one... But dont hold your breath, I did for a long
time and could still be waiting for one almost year later.

Rex:
I think the Titan is the next best choice as far as reliability goes.
They went through a struggle for a while when they used after market
exhaust stubs to base there system on. I got one of those and was
lucky to make it to Alaska and back in 2004 without a failure. Not
many hours after I got back I broke that pipe between Santa Rosa and
Albuquerque, NM. Then broke two more within 3 hours of each other
that Fall flying to and from the flyin in Lucedale, MS, and Panama
City, FL. That is when I bought the STE system.
I am glad to get rid of the "octupus" of pipes that wraps around the
engine, and doubles the profile. I have scars all over the inside of
my forearms from refueling, checking oil, and forgetting about those
hot stainless steel pipes. The STE system is much cleaner and cuts
that profile in half.
Right now, that is all we have. The Rotax system is out of the
question. I would not hang all that plumbing on top of my engine.

In AZ there is ethanol in the fuel around the major cities (Phx, Tucson) during
the winter months when they are trying to cut down on emissions. If you go outside
the city far enough there is no ethanol in the fuel. I drive to Saddlebrook,
10 mi North of Tucson suburbs, to get my fuel in winter. It is quick and
easy to test the fuel to make sure there is no ethanol in it. As was mentioned,
the pumps are labeled if they add ethanol to the fuel. We are close to
the end of the winter season when they add ethanol around Tucson. I plan to test
some fuel locally next time I need fuel.

When I was doing cross-country's in a 2 stroke, using 100LL, I found that
after a while the lead would build up a bit on the spark plugs, so I just
increased the frequency of plug swap-outs. Besides that, no other issues.

Hi Gang:
This conversation is entirely for the benefit of two individuals on
the Kolb List. Has absolutely nothing to do with Kolb Aircraft,
building or flying. This is a good example of what should be taken bc
between these two individuals.
If they were discussing antique tractors, dirt bikes, women (ones that
can not run too fast), I'd be interested in what they have to say.
However, they aren't discussing any of those subjects and I am not the
least bit interested.
Pretty simple to insert the individual's email address that you wish
to chat with, rather than hit reply so everyone on the Kolb List has
to dig through it and delete. Yes, I have a delete key and I use it a
lot.
Please!!! try to stick to something related to Kolb Aircraft. Thanks,

Robert/Gang:
The lead is easy to get out of the spark plugs, 2 and 4 stroke. I use
a pen knife with small blade, or a piece of safety wire to clean the

Other than that, I never saw any difference between mogas and avgas.

I get 100LL regularly when flying away from my home field. I have my engine
broken down every 150 hours by an authorized Rotax repair station. I have
had no issues with performance whilst flying nor has the repairman made any
comments.

Hi Ken/Gang:
I bet your repairman loves to see you coming. Most of us could not
afford to pay someone to pull an engine every 150 hours. Some of us
would be pulling every month during the flying season.

I just thought I'd mention that Bungie cords are not real good for holdin
aircraft parts together, especially after being out in the sun a bit.
I think even the yeller paint on your bird will make the bungies feel like their
in the sun even in the hanger too.
You ought to replace the bungies with cat gut......mutch stronger and you can have
a snack if you land out in the boonies!!!

Thanks John Point taken. Just got excited about meeting Pat at MV. Hay I
wanted different exhaust for my 912 also. The first time I saw the STE I
wanted it but I don't think it will fit under the cowling. When
modifying the Titan, the welder that did the job did not weld stainless
for crap! That's when the back of the muffler went through the prop. My
new muffler is welded with a certified welder and I made a rubber
isolated mount to the back of the exhaust to eliminate any part leaving
the aircraft, with exception of the springs.

Hi Craig:
Thanks for writing. No sweat on the List thing.
I bet the STE will fit, or come mighty close to it.
Rick Thomason designed it to fit inside the Pulsar cowling, which is
pretty small.
You can get some dimensions off mine at MV.
Getting excited now and ready to head West. Should be flying by
Saturday or Sunday. The little stuff is nickle and dime'ing me to
death. Thought I would have the lexan installed today, but never got
started on it. Spent the whole day installing enricher cables, a few
instruments, tidying up stuff, a lot of ty-wraps, etc. Don't know
where the time goes.
Will try to get the lexan done tomorrow and the main gear back on Fri.
Should be able to test run the new engine and then haul the fuselage
back over to the airstrip. Get the wings and center section
installed, preflight, and go fly.
Take care,
john h

sun and fun is next week and so starts the camping season for millions of
people. as a volunteer at sun fun safety is a major concern. we look at all
aspects of public safety. while reading the KOA report on camping safety I
learned that several people every year are killed or hurt while sleeping in
there tent. the report stated most are ran over by cars or compact utility
vehicles. one person was killed by being run over by a garbage truck backing over
him. so If you are camping in a tent next week think about that when you are
picking a spot to pitch a tent Malcolm

| picking a spot to pitch a tent Malcolm
Hi Malcolm:
That is very thoughtful of you to give us tent campers a safety
briefing prior to our arrival at Lakeland. As if we did not get
enough briefings down there already.
It is my understanding the designated camping areas, especially those
sites strictly for tent campers, will not allow cars, compact utility
vehicles, or garbage trucks to roam freely in our area while we are
sleeping. So, I guess I can sleep peacefully, knowing I will be safe
and sound in the hands of Sun and Fun Safety Personnel like you.
BTW, how many folks on the Kolb List do you think will be tent camping
next week?
This will be my 25th consecutive year to camp at Lakeland. We should
have a party to celebrate.
I also included a subject line I thought appropriate to your message.

Well, as he's also a good friend he gives me a bit of a break. I wish I
could afford to do as much flying as you describe. I got 100 hours in last
year, and that was a good year for me, what with the way the weather goes
here in Michigan. Maybe when that lottery ticket hits I'll be able to afford
something fast enough to keep up with you guys as well as be able to afford
the gas to do so.

| Subject: | Re: M3X incidence & dihedral |
As near as I can tell from that pic there is at least 6 deg of dihedral on that
plane.
I went back thru all the pics I've taken of Kolbs over the years and measured the
dihedral angle were possible. I've found anywhere between zero and 5 degrees
total over the entire wing. Anything less than 1 degree per wing half tends
to look like the wingtips are drooping to me.
Donnie @ Kolb told me the proper spec for the M3X is 1.5 degrees per wing half.
He also told me incidence should be 2.8 degrees.
BTW, Piper Cubs appear to have 1 degree per panel.

Scott:
That is what Homer thought too. So he added a tiny bit of dihedral
for aesthetic reasons only. He preferred a staight wing, but it
looked like they drooped when sitting on the ground.
I have no idea how many degrees dihedral the wings on my Ultrastar,
Firestar, or mkIII have. The instructions said to put a block under
the outboard rib to raise it a certain distance above level. That is
what I did and I am happy.
When he recently rebuilt the 1985 Oshkosh Grand Champion Ultralight,
his Kolb Firestar, he added addtional dihedral to see how it would
fly. I forget how many degrees, but he told me he kinda liked it.
