The "beefed up" parts with .120 wall came out in 2001. The new parts were shipped
with kits after this time.
The parts were changed due to reports of cracked and/or broken parts in service.
The new part has no reports of problems per TNK.
It is a direct replacement part and they cost $47.50 each + S&H. I ordered a pair
today.
Fly safe,
Jim
The pic at this link is the OLD part -

Sounds interesting, I'd like a copy as well in case I crunch my landing gear this
year.
Breaking things is always a good excuse for an upgrade.
Are you saying those legs are firestar legs and they are made from aluminum?
How are they holding up?
Where can you get those legs, does TNK sell them or make your own?

I'm building a garage this summer (YA!!), and I still working on My
MkIII Extra (Hence the reason for the garage, I need room to work)
I have a roll on car carrier which I'm going to covert to my Aircraft
carrier for my MkIII extra. Anyway my question is this. Would someone
who has a MKIII extra on a car carrier measure the distance from ground
to highest part of plane so I can ensure proper door height. My plan is
to have two doors one at each end of the garage so I can drive through
and drop off.
Anyway if building this Kolb has taught me anything is measure, measure,
measure, then cut. So I only want to cut the Garage doors once!!!
Thanks

Mike W.,
I have taken a very critical look at my frame before I bought and observed good
quality of welds and workmanship everywhere.
Who ever the original owner was did an excellent job with my Ultrastar.
Granted I can not confirm what is happening inside the tubing, it seems like the
Dry Southern California environment has probably kept any internal corrosion
to a minimum.
Now that things are warming up, it won't be long before I find out for myself what
flying a Kolb is like.
I have all the new AN hardware ready for installation, and I just need to hook
up the second CHT sensor to my EIS, recalibrate my Fuel guage for 5 Gals, validate
the engine temps and jet accordingly.
Looks like that video had the guy holding off/flare too high and simply ran out
of airspeed while 3-4 feet off the ground.

Donnie, what about the bolt on retrofit for the UltraStar?

1. Programmers are expensive.
2. Press releases are cheap.
3. Therefore, it's cheaper to explain the bug than to fix it.

| Subject: | ANR Headset Upgrade |
I had planned to have an ANR headset for this summer but hated to pay
the price. I had decided to do the upgrade, that some have discussed
recently, to my passive headset. While looking for some hearing
protection for a problem area at work I ran across a set of ANR ear
muffs for use in industrial environments and they even had a 3.5mm audio
input jack. Wow only needs a mic. Specs. are 26db NRR passive and 20
db NRR active in the 100 to 200 hz range. The ANR range is 20 to 1000
but is rated at 20 db from 100 to 200 hz.
The UPS truck dropped off a package today and I went to work. I mounted
the mic from an old headset to the battery cover which required drilling
one hole. I also made a piece from 0.050 aluminum to stiffen the
location where I was mounting the mic. Everything works well but I have
not tested it in flight yet. I will give a report after some in-flight
testing, maybe this weekend.
Did I mention they were $149. I have attached a link to the website. I
bought them from an online store called Active Forever, They had them
in stock.
Hope to fly this weekend.
Steven

The ANR range is 20 to 800 hz. Not 20 to 1000 hz.
I was using my memory and that is dangerous.
