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 - http://myweb.cableone.net/oday/Kolb/Wheel%20Brake.jpg -------- Jim O'Day Fargo, ND Firestar II Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=168992#168992 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 08:14:24 AM PST US Subject: Kolb-List: Re: ultra star From: "jb92563" 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? -------- Ray Kolb UltraStar (Cuyuna UL-202) Moni MotorGlider Schreder HP-11 Glider Riverside County, CA Do Not Archive Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=169011#169011 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 08:17:08 AM PST US Subject: Kolb-List: Garage From: "James, Ken" 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 Ken James Drafting Design Technology Instructor Berks Career and Technology Center - West Campus 1057 County Rd.

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. -------- Ray Kolb UltraStar (Cuyuna UL-202) Moni MotorGlider Schreder HP-11 Glider Riverside County, CA Do Not Archive Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=169022#169022 ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 10:02:03 AM PST US Subject: Kolb-List: Gary Grabb From: greg@skyelink.com Gary lost your ph# going flying this week wonted to see if you wonted to go please give me a call. 804 529 7578 work 804 450 6200 cell thanks Greg Allison ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 10:15:08 AM PST US From: "KOLB AIRCRAFT" Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Re: ultra star THE NEW KOLB SELLS THE ALUM.

Press releases are cheap. 3. Therefore, it's cheaper to explain the bug than to fix it. ________________________________ Message 9 _____________________________________ Time: 01:32:15 PM PST US From: "Jason Omelchuck" Subject: Kolb-List: Not Kolb (but Kolb like) Videos Hello All, I just stumbled across these videos of some low flying over the southlands.

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.

Not 20 to 1000 hz. I was using my memory and that is dangerous.
