I have a pic of an ultrastar with the alum legs that someone might be
interested in. I crunched the originals in an engine out so I rebuilt them
with the plans from a friend and they were fabulous. I could not believe
how much it changed the landing characteristics. wow, great. much better
than the original. This uses the old style very small firestar gear legs.
I have the plans and pics if anyone is interested in it. Ted Cowan.

Ted, does this require welding on the cage or does it just bolt to the
original attachment points?

Will- This is "off List", as it is a little long. On web search, enter Kolb Firefly,
and scroll down to "My Firefly". At the bottom of any page, click on "flight",
and follow the links to his brother's site, and then to an "in the cockpit"
video called "Around the Patch". Go to full screen, and turn the volume up.
I don't remember the guy's name, but you will love it. It takes a minute to

Has anyone tried or has any experience with 7068 aluminum alloy. I am wondering

| Subject: | Re: Firestar Videos and VG's |
Most of that testing has already been done for you. Landshorter recommends that
VG's be placed 11 % of the chord back from the leading edge of the wing.
Just as important as the distance from the leading edge is the angle of the VG
into the wind so that it creates effective vorticies without stalling and creating
to much drag, which is 15 degrees into the wind. These numbers are not
Kolb specific, but they work well in most of our class airplanes. A lot of people
have used landshorter VG's at the recommended positions on Kolbs with great
results. My results were so good, and my plane flys so well that its not
worth my time moving the the VG's around to different positions.

Just installed my new anr set in my military helo style helmet. I had
to salvage parts to set it up originally and then I put the new parts
from this company in. what a difference. I had harmonics and noise I
just could not get away from. padded between the wings and behind my
seats. better but still had to have the radio turned almost all the
volume I could get. Took my little slingshot up this morning and wow,
wow, wow. Went zoom zoom and wow wow. I could not believe the
differnce. I had to turn the radio down to less than half!! Mostly
could only hear the prop wherrring. Talked to a hand set on the ground
at about five miles and closer and could hear perfectly. The ground
reported it clearer with it turned on than off. Great. That my
friends, only cost me $202.00 delivered. Maybe I wont loose my hearing
as soon now. Best money I ever spent. Ted Cowan, Alabama

Glad you like it Ted. Converted my old DC 10-60 headset many years ago and the
difference it makes is huge. Nowadays I am using top of the line Telex Stratus
something or other with 50 total decibels anr reduction. I set next to a fellow
that has Bose and we swapped it around. The telex ANR and we both agreed is
quieter than the Bose and a few hundred bucks cheaper. It seems to me that the
claim that if they start with top of the line passive headset and then add an
ANR gizmology to it makes for the best combination and best noise reduction.

some real swamp crawlers to take me out into that area and get wet and
dirty chasing snakes and 'gators and gar and turtles. :-) It's always
better with someone who really knows the area. I did send an email a

north of Okefenokee, but never heard back from him. Lar.

Hi All,
I posted this to make sure everyone checked the Rotax gearbox AD. I had to do mine.
I can do yours as I am an authorized and certified Rotax service center.
Rotax has a new class certification process since Jan. 2008. If you need it done
let me know as I have a new batch of gear sets coming in this week. I can up
my order by Monday morning if need be. I have a 1 day turn around if shipped
to me and a 2.5 hr. turn around if you fly in.

Won't hurt a thing.
Do you know that Penzoil just relabels some of their products for marketing. No
change in actual formula. Talk to the marketing guys and they'll tell you there
is a difference. I have talked to the engineer's at Penzoil group and they
say BS they just relabeled. And I'm sure if you talk to other people you will
hear everything in between.

If you are going to cry "wolf", at least do it with the right words.
Rotax released a "Service Bulletin", SB-912-056 UL and SB-912-056.
As stated earlier, you can get the SB at the Rotax Owners website or you can get
it straight from Rotax at:

I prefer to use the factory site for all my documentation.

break) Now I need to present my application at the FSDO and I am all set.
16 Hours of class and lab, 50 question exam, and 16 E-LSA owners in the class.
It was a fun time as well as educational.
There was one other Kolb drive from Omaha there too. He has never heard of the
Kolb List, but it is understandable because he does not use the Internet either.....

That's only if the application requires an oil or fluid that meets a mil-spec ("military
specification" I believe). I.e., certain brake fluids in general aviation
aircraft, etc.
The engine oil grades we use in our Rotaxen are specified by the American Petroleum
Institute (API) and aren't generally milspec grades.
I.e., SF, SG...SM and so on are API service grades for automotive engine oiles
of the type we use in our 912's,
It's all spelled out in painful detail on the API website, for instance for motor
oils:

Kolb guys,
Gentlemen, could someone kindly steer me in the right direction to start the
licensing/registration process for my MkIII?
Up to this point I haven't done anything yet. That's because in the past I never
had the feeling I was ever going to be actually finished building my MkIII.
Sure, I worked on it...here and there...but there was always SOOO much to
do, I just never had an idea it would ever be done. I've owned this blasted thing
for almost 10 years!! Now, I think I can see "light at the end of the tunnel"
(and no, it's not a train!!).
I have all my receipts, original Kolb Company invoice, etc, etc. I also have
lots of photos of various stages of me building it.
Additionally, I am a former EAA member. I expect I am going to re-up, as it
were! (military term, it means re-activate my old membership, for you civilians)
Well, enough babbling. Anyone care to point?

After I heard Rotax state what the compliance was on AD's, SB's ,SI's and SL's
I was along with others dumbfounded that usually only 20%-50% comply. Anything
above 25% is a lot they said. Most don't even bother to send in a warranty card
for their engine. So my intention was to try and help those who would like
it done or who might not have heard about the Gearbox SB. Rotax flips the bill.

Vic,
The relative air Mike was referring to is the "sideways" air, not up or down.
Here's what he meant.....assuming no wind, calm air, level flight. Okay? Now,
pretend you have a long piece of yarn taped to the leading edge of the wing,
on top, blowing in the wind. In our situation, it is straight back. Now,
swing that yarn to the left 15 degrees, that's a VG angle. Swing it to the right
15 degrees, that's the other VG angle.
If it were me that was placing VG's on a wing, I would imagine making a template,
for absolutely gnat's hiney perfect placement, would be a good idea.

Hi Mike,
I suspect you will have to go and register as an "Expereimental, Amatuer
Built" category. Contact the EAA for the latest poop as to how to.
