Apparently he is working with a new fabricator and still is not ready for production. Does anyone know of another sorce? | | John, that new engine looks mighty pretty. | | Rex Rodebush 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. ;-) john h mkIII ________________________________ Message 11 ____________________________________ Time: 07:48:43 AM PST US Subject: Kolb-List: Re: wing bounce From: "jb92563" 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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Hauck" Sent: Wednesday, April 11, 2007 5:53 PM Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Re: Avgas 100LL in a 2 stroke ??? > > > I have > made any > > Hi Ken/Gang: > > I bet your repairman loves to see you coming.

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 www.ill-EagleAviation.com do not archive Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=106449#106449 ________________________________ Message 47 ____________________________________ Time: 09:36:32 PM PST US From: "John Hauck" Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Re: M3X incidence & dihedral Anything less than 1 degree per wing half tends to look like the wingtips are drooping to me. 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. john h mkIII ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message kolb-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Kolb-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/kolb-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/kolb-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
