| Subject: | ultralight training, Houston area |
Can anyone suggest an Ultralight instructor in the Houston, TX area? I
want to learn to fly an ultralight, and I eventually plan to purchase a
Kolb Firefly. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks- Jimmy Young

John h. with the oil cooler behind the radiator,,,, you will slow the air
through the radiator, not blank it out.... I cant think the water temps will
climb too much,,, and with the cooler oil helping to cool the heads... I
don't think you will notice higher temps... let me know by weeks end.
My first thoughts,,, greater heat radiating surfaces... with the same power
setting should result in greater cooling.

Morning Boyd/Gang:
Holy Hannah! I don't want super hot weather, but guess there isn't
much I can do about it. Hate flying high. Perceived ground speed is
so slow. ;-(
Reckon we will be doing a bit of sitting under the wing, drinking a
lot of water, and telling lies.
Those of us flying from the east will be encountering scattered
thunderstorms end of first day and most of the second day. Wind will
be blowing the wrong direction in the Gallup and Monument Valley
areas. Of course, all that can change by the time we get there.
Will find out about the new oil cooler today. Headed for the airstrip
to repitch the prop, change oil and filter, and a couple other little
things.
Getting anxious to get on the road,

List,
Here's a heads up on the Ivo. Last time I flew the FF she had a vibration.
The cht's were high and the EGT's were low. Im at 50 hrs and decided to go on
with the decarbon. Good decision , cause when I was removing the prop I saw
that the adjusting ear was broken off one of the blades. I feel sure that is the
cause of the vibration as well as the low EGT's and the High CHT's. Seems to
be a fair amount of carbon on the intake side of the head as well as the
piston crown. Can anyone tell me If the gearbox has to be removed to get the
lower shroud off the cylinders on the 447?

Had a wonderful day Saturday at Sam Peachy's annual spring fly-in and
met Homer and Clara.
Homer was delighted to see all the Kolb pilots show up when six of
us flew in together.
Homer and Clara said they are eager to host everyone again at the
Kolb estate on June 16. Pray for another gorgeous day.

| Subject: | Re: FireFly prop |
Fireflyers,
Anyone out there flying with a 2-blade 64" prop. Seems my Ivo has
cratered and it is only about 30% more for a whole new prop than a single replacement
blade. Is anyone flying a warp drive on a 447 W/ b box. I am intertaining
that thought as John H has had good luck with his. Does the Warp flex more than
the Ivo? Is it too heavy for the b box . Any Thoughts?

Do not know the weight of that prop, but I think a 64" 2 blade Warp
ought to be safe with a B box, but I would use Mobil One synthetic or
equivilent and change it often. I put a Warp 66" 2 blade on a used B
box, total time unknown, and it ended up making metal. But since total
time was unknown, that proves nothing. The Warp does not flex like an
Ivo. Nothing flexes like an Ivo...

The Warp does not flex hardly at all, but it's way too heavy for the b box.

You can get the official Rotax manuals for all their engines on the
Kodiak web page. Very convenient to be able to pull up the current
manuals for free.
I understand CPS has a nice catalog, but it ain't gospel.

Dateline: May 12 2007, Ray Center, Michigan
Two local men, Ken Fackler, and Mark Gray, after months of work and
preparation achieved a major milestone today. They each were given
airworthiness certificates for their Kolb Experimental Light Sport aircraft.
Ken Fackler, an instructional designer with Electronic Data Systems, has
been flying the tiny craft since 1982. His friend, hangar mate, and 'flying
buddy' learned to fly in sailplanes while living in Canada. Both men have
been flying their Kolbs over SE Michigan for the past 5 years.

Ed,
I just finished doing a top end overhaul on my 447 and the lower shroud was
removed without messing with the gear box or the fan tower. I found it to be
slightly stubborn, not bending it, but twisting somewhat to get it in and
out of place.
In lieu of using Sea Foam, Yamaha is distributing a product called Ring
Free. Mix it into the fuel and it is supposed to remove and/or eliminate carbon
deposits and eliminate sticky rings. I am going to start using it.
