If anyone has trouble finding a CLAMPTITE tool, check the marine
dealers. These are widely used in the boating industry

I have one the tools it works as advertised, but I never seem to think about it
when I need something like it. use to carry it in the truck when we were traveling
just in case a hose clamp should break.

I received my new gear leg/axle mount fittings today. They are for a FSII
I need some advice.
The old part is installed and drilled. You can see it below.
The new part is not drilled.
You can see how much thicker the tube is on the new part.
I am not sue how I will relocate the drilled holes on the new part to match the
gear leg. I have some ideas, but I have learned that it probably has been done
many times before and I can skip some frustration by asking.
Any tips would be appreciated.
Thanks.

What is the do-dad on you nose cone right in front of you?
Are you using it for slip indicator? First I thought it was a
pivoting airspeed probe like they often use on aircraft during
certification testing.but it looks like it acts more like a ground
direction indicator?

Hello List -- this quote is from a sea-captain but I think pertains
to flying too -- FWIW

..actully it sorta is, jerb.... when it points directly back at the
Possum, then spins ten or
fifteen times, it means he is firmly emplaced betwen the Posture-Pedic and
the crapper
in the second story master bedroom of that big 'ol house he passed within 30
feet of on
very short final into the Possum Patch in the video... and if he is lucky
it will then swing
yet again to point toward the stairs so he can beat-feet out of the house
before the
authorities show up...

Mike:
Which picture do you need? The painted white is on my plane, the bare metal is
the new part. I see them on the page, they are coming in via a html placemark.
I can post them if they do not show up for you.

Yeah, Jim, post them some other way, 'cause I don't see anything but typing. You
can send (both of) them by way of the email I sent you backcopy. Then call
me so I can help you locate the drill holes in the new fittting.

Hi everyone,
The name is Joe and I hail from Tyler, Texas. I am new to the forum and new to
ultralights. Just bought a 2002 Kolb Mark III and really anxious to get some
time in it. I have a Commercial, Instrument, Multi-engine and CFI, but this
will be a whole new learning experience for me.
Hurry up and get here, warm weather!

Do you know what a rivet locator is? It is used to locate a hole in the top
skin when laid over a hole in a lower surface... how to make one... take
a 8 inch piece of sheet metal and fold it in half. Then drill a hole
through the ends where they overlap... place a rivet through the lower
piece and insert the rivet in the under lying hole, then putting the piece
of skin you want to locate the hole in, between the folded over halves of
the locator, the hole in the top of the locator will locate the hole in
the skin.
With that mental picture in mind,,,, take a piece of sheet metal, and
clamp it to the leg a few inches above the axel fitting using a screw clamp,
or two to keep it from moving.... drill the sheet metal from the opposite
side of the gear leg through the existing hole. This will locate the
hole... then pull the sheet metal far enough from the leg to slide the axel
fitting on,, make sure you don't move the locator, when the axel fitting
is properly aligned,, the hole in the piece of sheet metal will locate the
hole in the axel fitting.

Joe,
Welcome to the list. congrats on your new Kolb . The biggest difference
between your Kolb and what you are used to, is it has more drag and slows
down quickly. You dont want to flare it until you are close to the ground. The
closer the better. Actually you hardly flare at all. Just fly it to about a
foot off the ground and back of the throttle. If you flare like a
conventional craft you are asking for trouble.
Good Luck,
