All the particulars are on the Kolb web site but basically it would be a great trainer or check out airplane as it has full dual controls and avionics for operating in controlled airspace. It is hangered at MD1 (Massey Maryland) and never used any alcohol fuels.

The length of the pulse hose...and the material to some extent...is softening the pulses which allows the condensate to enter the hose. I just got a reply on the Kitfox list from a fellow with the same installation who had the same problem. His was cured by moving the pump to the front...PTO...end of the engine as suggested by a Rotax tech. The 503 pulse port is on the PTO end of the engine. The port is on the Mag end on a 582. The old Skystar manual instructs to mount the pump on the fire wall. This works fine with the 582 because the pulse port is close. The common component of those that don't leak is a short pulse line. The common component of the two I know of that leaked is the long pulse line. Thanks for all the suggestions from everyone here!!! I have a few mods to make now. -------- Tom Jones Classic IV, Phase one 503, Warp Ellensburg, WA Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=118862#118862 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 06:49:40 AM PST US From: robert bean Subject: Kolb-List: saturday A great day in SE PA. below: Homer cruising at 481 MSL on the model P (fer potato) DSCN1229.JPG serious business at the tables DSCN1241.JPG BB

It probably does not sound exciting to the old timers, but I only have 40 something hours on the Firefly and remember the excitement with my first taxi. It means your one step farther in the process of getting in the air ! Saver the moment and I anticipate that 1 st flight report. Appearently my 447 decarb turned out OK ,as I have put 3 or 4 hours on it since the decarb and all seems normal . Be Safe, Ed Diebel Do not Archive

I watched it a few times and I don't see me in the line of fire at all. Maybe it's for the best not knowing how close it was. I remember ducking and seeing that drifter way too close then seeing it hit a mound of dirt behind me. The wings were rocking quite a bit that doesn't show on the video and he was banked 30-40 degrees before he left the runway. The photo I snapped shows that and I think the rudder deflected also. I thought I remembered the throttle being advanced a whole lot quicker but the video proves otherwise. There really wasn't much of a cross wind but there was a tail wind. It seemed more like over controlling issue. I have to believe that you lost some detail when you put it on Google. Could you attach a before google copy to a E-Mail and send it to me off list?
