In answer to the Slingshot questions. Yes, yes, yes. You HAVE to raise the
rear of the 582 up compared to the front mounts. Actually, I do not believe
1/2 inch higher is enough. I believe you will need to raise it at least to
3/4 of an inch to achieve what you are looking for. One way is to reverse
the rubber mount for the rear of the engine. that gives you nearly enough
and then add washers. I had to use risers on mine in order to facilitate
the wing fold. I have a side mounted exhaust. Will send pic if you would
like or come to the Kolb Factory Fly-in. This is because of the angle of
the wings and the boom. If you do not do this, the engine will litterly try
to push you over. Too much incident and you will loose precious power from
the prop. If you are refering to the center gap seal I believe you would
HAVE to have it as well as the ail. gap seals. I cannot believe someone
would fly it without it. I used alum. the first time and plexi the second.
been flying for almost four years without it cracking. Like I said, come on
to the Kolb fly in and take a look. will give you lots of more hints about
its attributes. one of the best flying kolbs out there. runs circles
around everything else in the hands of a good flyer. ta ta. ted cowan,

REALLY its not a big deal Flying without the gap seal at least in my
Firestar it just makes it a convertible top
There is no difference in how it fly's with or without it

Ted,
Thanks for the engine angle answer. Makes sense.
Yes I was talking about the wing gap seal, the plane has one but the top
around the front wing attatch fittings is not sealed.
I would appreciate all the photos I can get of this area inside and out
to see how folks made theirs.

| Subject: | VW ENGINE MOUNT (first ever from Kolb) |
I am now the pround owner of the first ever Kolb built VW Engine mount. :D
Thank you Rick Neisen for your help and push to make this possible. The Kolb
people are possibly going to offer the new mount in the future as an alternative
to the Rotax. By using the VW Engine on the M3X, one can easily save $10,000.
Also, I will be using the water cooled heads on my engine along with the
series 3 re-drive from Culver Props.
While Travis and Donnie probably had input on the new mount, I bet the main
man was DENNIS. Dennis is their welder/designer and I'm thinking he was given
the task to come up with this. He also made a jig were he will be able to
make future cages with the mount when requested.
Anyone interested in seeing pictures of all this e-mail me and I will get
send them to you. cktman@hughes.net
Rick
