1. When I pick up the wing struts and tip them back and forth, something
(sounds like very small particles) rattles back and forth. I'm guessing it's
drill chips from the rivet holes, or perhaps pop rivet stems? Should I be
concerned? There doesn't seem to be any evidence of corrosion, and the plane
has always been stored indoors as far as I'm aware.
It's possible that the wing could have been re- covered in the past. If you
hear a lot of pieces rattle then they are probably the remnants of drilled
out rivets. Some builders will inject some covering adhesive to tack them in
place.

I have decided to replace 1 1/4" tube with 1 1/2". I will be using oversized rivets
(5/32) for holes that are not salvageable but I have has good luck drilling
out so far. I coated my rivet heads with primer which has had a unanticipated
secondary benefit, holding the rivet heads from spinning as I drill them out.
Thanks to all for your help with this temporary set back.

Looking for training in a Kolb MKIII in the greater Las Vegas area. Would consider
looking outside Nevada to California or Utah.

tom d,
Thanks for posting that advice. I have helped my buddy rebuild his
wings/ailerons a couple of times now, and spinning rivets, while drilling them
out,
has always been a problem. Hopefully I'll remember this for the next time.

| Subject: | Need Kolb M3X information please. |
I have been researching light sport aircraft for about a year. I have flown in
several types, but have not found the plane I want yet, that I can afford. I
have flown in a Cessna 150, 152, 172, Evektor Sportstar, a Sonex, and a Titan
Tornado 2S with a Rotax 912S. Under sport rules, I can't fly a Cessna GA plane.
The Evektor is to expensive. The Sonex is a tight fit, slower build, and
demands a premium right now. The Sonex also has a poor view out the front that
bothered me.
I like the Titan, but have not found one that I like yet that is for sale. The
Titan is pretty quick and playful. Not as quick as a Sonex or Zenith 601, but
close.
I don't know how the Titan will do in an engine out landing in a ranch field.
I know that none will do well if I land on a mesquite tree, but there are always
roads through the fields as long as you can land slow enough to stay on them.
I like the look of the Kolb M3X, and the way this groups members talk positive
about them. I have been reading post, but have not found out what the max cruise
speed is with a 100 hp motor? I know that not all planes feel comfortable
at max cruise and have a comfortable cruise speed also, where the plane just
likes to fly. What would that be in the M3X?
Can you not roll or loop any of the Kolb planes? Are they as tough as the metal
wing Titan Tornado? Since I know how the Titan flies, could someone please
compare them for me?
Thanks for your time.

No comparison. Titan is more of a go-somewhere airplane with good speed
and strength. Kolb is more fun. Some have been able to get them to go
around 90 mph. I am lucky to get 70 with a 58 hp engine. But, it is
the best of all airplanes at a slow cruise around 55-60. If it had a
well designed fiberglass gear, it would be perfect.

My MK 3 Xtra is very happy crusing around 75 MPH. It will easily do 80 or more,
but it seems to like the mid 70's, which is a nice low power setting on the
Rotax 912-S, around 4600 RPM.
The MK-3 is very stable, and I would NEVER try to roll it, it wont roll fast enough.
The MK3 Xtra would be relaxing compared to a Titan, and a much better
short field plane. The MK 3 Xtra has a lot of lift, and you will get bounced
around a lot in turbulance. The Titan is much stronger, handles better in turbulance,
and is faster, but requires much more of a longer and prepared runway.
The Titan will also kill you if you dont fly it correctly, it can be spun
by accident... The Kolb is much more forgiving, I have been teaching my wife
stalls, and she has made every mistake you can think of and none resulted in
a secondary stall, or more than a 15 degree bank. I can jerk the Kolb around
like a drunk fool at very slow airspeeds and it has never done anything buy fly
well.
The Kolb is a little harder to land being a tail dragger, but thats the case with
any tail dragger.

| Subject: | Re: 447 fuel line, again |
Some of the guys around here use fuel lines made for Boats, the marine fuel line
is UV resistant, much better than the clear ultralight plastic type lines,
much stronger, and well worth it at even 5 times the cost.
When it comes to my plane, I would never try to save a few dollars for a fuel line
that may deteriorate and leak over time.
