Have never experienced elevator flutter with my MK111 503. The engine in
it at the moment has 350 hours and is run at about 6100 rpm most of the
time giving a cruise of 72 mph indicated.I agree with the flat country
thing and probably the fact that I operate at sea level helps. One thing
I do know is that it will out perform a RANS 12 with the same load under
the same conditions with the same engine . I also do some mountain
flying and the 503 performs very well. I have never taken it above 6500
ASL.Our local mountains run right to sea level and up past 12365 ft
I run a 3 bladed wooden prop and the MK111 performs very well even with
200 Kgs of flesh filling both seats . I would say even at that weight it
out performs a 152 or a piper tomahawk . I would agree that a 503 is
minimum ,anything more would be fun and a saving on fuel. Head winds
reduce speed really fast and fuel burn can be as much as 23 ltrs per hr
{ just about 6 US gal} but can also reduce to 17 ltrs per hour in ideal
lightly loaded conditions.
Have fun fly it a lot ,you will not be disappointed. remember it is easy
to operate any machine that has plenty of power ,it takes expertise to
work with minimum power but it will make you a safer and much better
pilot. My Kolb is 445 pds empty Mx take off 1050 pbs ,VNE 100mph, best
climb/glide 55 mph. If really loaded add 5 mph to approach speed as you
will wash plenty of speed off during the flare and you may find that you
are running short of elevator authority at lower speeds.
It is a very usable fun plane with a 503 . The speeds I quote are what I
consider "safe" it will climb well at 45 mph or aproach at that speed 1
up but you had better be on the ball if that engine so much as hic ups.
I would only ever use the slower speeds if needed to come in very
short.{ really good disc brakes}

Before you start worrying about having to change engines for more
power, you need to add aileron counter weights to avoid getting aileron
flutter. The parts are cheap from TNK and the installation is simple,
just call and tell Travis you need a set. Do this before you fly your
new plane.
As for the numbers, the only one that leaps out is Vne of the Classic
is 10 mph less than the Extra.

would like to mention that I have the perfect solution to Grantr's possible
engine power problem. I just took the 582 off my slingshot and have it for
sale. great little power plant, blue head, everything connected in one neat
package, radiator, volt reg., pulse pump, oil injector,etc. can be crated
and shipped anywhere. comes with either a warp three blade with about ten
hours or an older ivo ground adjust. price is commensorate with the prop.
will wheel and deal but you wont get better for the money than from me.
about 185 hours on it and runs great. Just ask anyone from the Kolb
Homecoming 07. four mounting bolts, some wires and gas line, that is all
you gotta hook up. sell your 503 for about half what I want and you got a
good solid engine to fly with. just thought I would mention it. ted cowan,
alabama, 334-480-0822. call or email for pics.

Ditto on the MK3C that I built & flew in 1996, try the engine/plane
combo that you spent hard earned money on the way it is 1st.THEN if you
don`t like something, change it. The Aileron counterbalances are cheap
insurance though. Jim

So far I've been lucky. Had some tiny leading edge nicks that were
very easily fixed, never could
figure what caused them. Couple years back I was experimenting with
an elbow on the top of
the carb to see if there would be any ram air effect. When I landed
it was hanging by a thread,
jiggled loose by the "ol vibrator" Suzuki. My preflights are more
thorough these days.
Guarantee there is more safety wire on it than you will find on any
Rotax. :)

I think reinforcing that area of the elevator is a good idea and I was not suggesting
that you don't
My point was that it just seems better to avoid making swiss cheese out of the
tubing your hoping to make more rigid by adding so many rivet holes (weak point)
in the loading path of those parts.
I hope it works out for you....just suggesting a stronger fix based on the loading
that part is subject to, and minimizing risk of a failure to the absolute
minimum.
I would have thought that anyone maintaining an aircraft where their life, and
probably others depends on their maintenance, would be open to the best possible
solution! (not saying that there is not a better one than my suggestion)
"Mule Muffins" is just not much appreciation for trying to be helpful.
The only consolation I have is that its not MY butt that hangs in the balance.

Safety wire is good, nylon electrical ties are good, tape is fair, silicon will
hold some things and nlyon string is handy. Some A&Ps have looked at my Suzuki
3 banger and just shook their head. But, everything seems to stay on. I have
learned lately that to fly my Kolb in cold weather, it is a good idea to cover
about a third of the old Geo Metro radiator. Otherwise, the water temp gets
too low and it does not produce peak power. It would be nice to invent something
like a cowl flap to control the amount of outside air to the radiator.

I drilled a little hole in the oil cap and the radiator cap and made a loop around
the neck so that it will turn and come off, but it is never loose to where

I don't know how many of you guys have really had stuff fall off and
come thru your prop.
I fly a Warp Drive and little things, like muffler springs, don't
seem to matter - later on you
land and there is a nick in your prop, so what. Any body that has had
a "big chunk" knocked out
of their prop knows that they are about to have the ride of their life!
Shake&Bake ,... doesn't even begin to describe what happens at
"normal throttle" settings
when you lose a chunk of even "one" blade. I've seen cages cracked
after just seconds of full power
settings with a damaged prop. I've listened to my friends tell me
that they could not even reach
the kill switch because things were shaking so bad.
I'll be honest - I think a loose oil cap could put you down on take
off with full power
even with a Warp.

Well Ray, I am sorry that I hurt your feelings, but I did it as gently as I
could. There is no evidence that gussets have ever weakened any joint.
Welding is not an option, and I am not aware of any glue that would do the
job either. I guess it was your dramatic (Swiss cheese) representation that
caused me to think that you thought that I was reckless as well as stupid.

Vic, Check out how the 18 wheeler guys do it. They have zippered, window
blind and venetian blind type radiator covers. the window blind and venetian
blind are cable controlled from the cab. Shouldn't be that difficult to make
something similar.

Here is my solution. It has been working for about six years with no
problems. Check out:

The rub bars proved to be unnecessary.

Hello everyone,
I have a Question.
Has any Mark III Extra owner received LSA Airworthiness certificate for it
yet?
I am interested in knowing about any kind of move from microlight to LSA or
Exparimental to E-LSA etc.
A quick answer can help.

Ray,
I think what you might not have understood is that the tube is not the
weak link (i.e. twisting in torsion) the problem is the 1 rivet
connection between the top and bottom tubes that form the inboard "rib"
of the elevator. That rivet will eventually work itself loose and once
things start moving they start moving worse and worse. The aluminum
plate is to reinforce the "rib" to spar connection. The spar tube
itself is plenty strong in torsion to handle things...a few holes for
more rivets isn't a problem. Agreed a tab welded to the steel insert
might be great, but there are already holes drilled into the aluminum
spar there to rivet to the steel insert anyway...

Faisal, If you're aircraft was previously registered as Experimental Amateur
Built or was registered in a foreign country it can't legally be moved to
Experimental Light Sport Aircraft see FAR 21.191 (i) 1. The only aircraft
that can be moved to E-LSA are Special-Light Sport Aircraft. see FAR
21.191(i) 3.

Hot damn!
Jeremy: You took the words right out of my mouth. I am sitting in the Rainbow
Casino, Wendover, Utah, reading the mail.
Yes, the problem is the 1/8 X 1/2" long single rivet that secures the top and bottom
inboard rib tube of the elevator. The gusset is to reinforce the single
rivet, top and bottom.
Again, if you all read what I write, big smile, you might get the point.
Those two little gussets tighten up the connection and don't loosen up with hours.
Swiss cheese??? You could have been a little more tactful. hehehe However, you
are basically telling me I don't know what I am doing, even though my fix fixed
the problem and has continued to keep on working for several thousand hours
with no problems.
Larry C fixed those elevators at my suggestion using my idea for a fix. There
are a lot of other Kolbs out there flying that have the same problem if they
are starting to pile up the hours.
Hopefully, you all won't think what I have been doing to keep my bird flying all
these years and hours in not for naught.
Take care,
john h
Wendover, Utah
PS: Anyone out there got more than a thousand hours on a single Kolb besides John
Williamson's Kolbra?

Yes, I believe I do. Probably have two thousand hours, and another thousand
to go!! Oh, you meant in the air! In that case, none........because I
have these thousand or so hours left to go........hehe
BTW, Nice gusset idea. Do you feel that only topside is warranted, or both top
and bottom side? Seeing as how I haven't put fabric on my plane yet, should
gussets be inside or outside of fabric?

Maybe I'm not clear on the connection to the 2 tubes that form the inboard rib,
but it sounds the same as on my Ultrastar.
I agree that a gusset is a great idea, but aren't the tubes forming the rib only
3/8" diameter .....so if you put a 1/8" hole in it for a rivet, thats making
it really weak right?
I'll drop the discussion after this post, because I'm sure you've been maintaining
your Kolb for a long time and know what works.
I'll do some bending tests on my Ultrastar tonight and see if mine might exhibit
the same issue. I'd like to pro-actively correct it since I'm working on it
now anyway.
PS: I edited my post because it sounded more dramatic than intended, but you got
to it before I finished....drat.....its just a technical discussion...no big
deal.

Mike,
I just shared an experience I had with an IVO and IVO's response to my inquiry
about having it repaired.I don't run a IVO because it's repairable.I run it
because it is the only 3 blade that meets the mass inertia limits of a B box.Small
injuries like the one I described,might well be repairable.It doesn't take
a muffler to destroy any prop,a 3oz spring will do.As for the rest of your assumptions,assume
away.
gaman(at)att.net wrote:

a 3/16 dent in the leading edge of one blade under the metal taped section.
IVO said remove tape,sand dent smooth; clean with acetone,fill with epoxy (JB
Weld) after cured,sand with block reapply new tape.That was 3yrs,150 hrs ago.
>
Its not a matter of repairing your prop or not, its a matter of the prop not comming
apart in flight when something bigger hits it ( Like a Muffler ). Your
reasoning of using an IVO because it is repairable and might save you a couple
hundred dollars is very poor judgement.
Just a couple months ago, a kolb went down when the oil cap hit the prop and the
resulting prop damage caused the pilot to land, and flip the plane. Had that
been a warp drive, it would have not been an emergency, no off airport landing,
and a much better and cheaper outcome.
There is just as much a chance that something bigger could depart the plane and
the warp would stay together where the IVO comes apart.
Its a safety issue, not " throwing money at it ".
Mike

<snip>
actually 5/16" tubing...even worse, right? But you do squeeze it in a
vise down to 3/16" which makes it wider in the plane your actually
drilling in. Leave enough edge distance and it is fine. It is in the

Don't ever apologize for speaking the truth, and common sense! --
unfortunately both our countries are suffering from Idiocy From the
Top Down -- and I can't see where any defense, or change, will come
from. Seems to me other civilizations in the past have gotten too
liberal/nutty and then been taken over by the barbarians.
Will history repeat itself?
And I'd like to know WHY people in the entertainment industry (i.e,
"Tinseltown " AKA So. California) -- think they're automatically
experts in international affairs??
Sheesh Marie! Anyone who's lived and worked in remote areas knows
that people there are too busy staying alive & getting some work
done to indulge in
frivilous, stupid things like unnecessary lawsuits. Or any lawsuits
at all. But get into the suburbs and then the cities, and they're
rampant, and lawyers abound. All with an eye to filling their
pockets, any way they can. Bah!
As you said, 'don't get me started. Sorry everybody'.

Where do you come up with this crap. Please keep it to yourself. There
are people that cheat and steal but that doesn't make it right. There
are safety reason for them and the rest of us that there are check
rides. The guy you know has NOT "ben" a private pilot.
The only reason I can think of that anyone would skip the check ride is
that they are too incompetent to be a pilot.
Maybe we should send someone from the FAA your way to check your

Yeah John,
Remember Willie Z, the "candy man"?
I believe he has a 1000 + hour Firestar with a 503 engine that has
yet to be opened for the first time. Terry F and I fly with him
regularly and his 503 is still running strong. Terry's Firefly is
well on the way to 1000 hours and his sweet running 447 has yet to be
opened for the first time also.
