Thanks Roger L:
Reference oil pump leaks. I chased an oil pump leak for more than 100 hours
on my new engine. Finally came to the conclusion it was not the oil pump at
all, but the gear box. Removed the gear box, resealed with Loctite 518, and
leak was gone.
Not going to tell you how many times I removed and replaced the oil pump,
and how much time I wasted during the process.
Damn thing was driving me nuts. Took all the fun out of flying.
She is ready to go now though. Looking for a place to fly.

This is a great idea for a thread, everyone must have something to contribute:
Heres mine, El Mirage Dry lake California where I will be test flying my Kolb soon.
This pic is from a Lazair (See my Icon avatar pic) so I am looking forward to the
extra leg room and even more panoramic view.
I have 5 miles of pavement flat salty runway ahead down there...perfect for test
flying or extended crow hops [Laughing]

the 2200 cools nicely on my mk-3.Will the mk-3 mount system handle 120Hp?
Richard Girard <jindoguy@gmail.com> wrote: Lucien et al, From the experience of
the rash of S-LSA Cub builders the problem with the Jab 3300 is that it takes
very careful design of engine baffling to get it to cool acceptably. I believe
it was Cub Crafters that wanted to run the 3300 with eyebrow baffles to make
it better resemble the classic J-3. Could not get it to cool and in the end had
to put it inside a full cowling. This on a tractor airplane with the big fan
out front pushing air over the cylinders. Might be really tough to get it to
cool in a pusher configuration like the Kolb.

I have not heard back from the seller yet. I hope its not a scam and I will
need to be careful. I think this engine would be great on a M3X or a Titan S
or SS. For that matter, it would also make a slick moving Sonex. In tail dragger
configuration, they are remarkably flexable.

The 3300 is supposed to work very well on the tornado, though I don't know about
the Kolb. The 912 and 912s sound like the motors of choice on the large 2-place
kolbs, mostly likely because of the ability to swing the larger props, preferred
on slower planes designed more for STOL.
I've attached a couple photos of my two planes, two of the finest light a/c types
you can get, IMO - the titan for go-fast, zip around, high-performance mission,
and the Kolb for the magic-carpet ride mission.
Truth is, I can't identify any particular reason why I like the Kolb design so
much. It's probably the construction, the folding wings and the fact that it's
tailwheel. The entire airframe uses traditional aviation construction, nothing
junky or screwball on the entire plane. The covering used is the Stitts process
which pretty much lasts forever and there are very few wear points on the
plane.
Personally, if I were going with a big Kolb, I'd do the Kolbra, mainly because
of the tandem seating and what appears to be a little less wing area (so it might
be less affected by the wind). It looks like the view is a little better in
the Kolbra from the front seat. But I still have yet to fly in either of the
big Kolbs, so I can't really make an informed judgement there....

"Ya'll drop on in"
takes on a whole new meaning
when you live at the airport.
