    Possums- You said you have 8 rib wings. Are you counting the ends? Travis told me not to count the ends, only the full ribs in between. Mine are 27'6", 5 ribs, 3 false ribs in between, and 1 false rib outboard of the last rib. I don't know for sure that they are from a KXP, but assume so because of the mounts being 2 1/2" shorter than a newer Firestar. The rear mount is a big, heavy lug that had to be ground to fit the u-joint. I also had to slide it in about an inch, rotate, and re-drill the hole in the inspection panel in order to get the wings straight. This allowed me to saw off about an inch of the very heavy tube on the lugs with no loss of strength. When I first put the wings on, the tips were forward a couple of inches in a "V" shape. I could have extended the front mount- adding weight- or do what I did, cutting weight. I still have to do a CG, but with the Firestar's large gross weight of 725 I think I have a lot of lee way. One thing I don't like that is not a problem for local flying. I need a box or step ladder to put gas in it. The tank is mounted high, and is hard to access with the wings in the flying position. The tank is still 10 gallon, and I will put a limiting tube in the filler, as suggested by someone on the list. At least until I get a 5 gallon. I don't see an easy way to change the tank. Looks like the cage was built around it- a very tight fit. Looks like more Stits work. Re: Ceiling. I live at 60 feet MSL, and smoke, and am a former welder. I have never (other than an airliner) been above 2000', other than 1/2 hour on Mt. Washington. I guess I'll keep it slow and low- like me, now pushing 60. Bill Sullivan FS/KXP Windsor Locks, Ct.

As long as you're _absolutely_ certain that you can get the 5 gallon tank in, you could cut the old one up to get it out... -Dana -- "Hiking is just walking where it's ok to pee.....

    Subject: Setting up your wing incidences
    I changed the subject line to reflect the proper subject matter. Mike W Mike B. A few weeks back I requested information regarding wing incidences and ho rizontal stabilizer incidences on MkIII Xtras. A good chap in England (John Codd) w as kind enough to furnish the readings on 2 of the local Xtras. I also talked to Brian, at T NK Tech Support, and received the reading for the new Xtra (likely the one John H. is flying bet ween rain drops), plus yours. If I recall correctly, your readings were "off the most" from the average s. I absolutely concur with Mike & "Jaz", and Steve B., I think your incidences are possibly off a little, which MAY be fighting each other. I have all the results of the readings of John Codd and Brian if you want them. Just let me know. If I were you, I would investigate this situation with a vengeance, and tho roughly establish that your wings are rigged 100% properly. My impression is a MkIII Xtra with a 100 hp motor should be able to fly f aster than just 85 mph. Just my opinion, but "sumptin's up!!". Oh, and change that h.s. fitting!!

    Dana- I think I will get the tank before I decide what to do. the 10 gallon tank is mounted high, over the BRS. The BRS is fully enclosed, and fires out the side through the fabric. maybe I can access through the seat back, but I think there is a strut in the way. Bill FS/KXP Windsor Locks, Ct.

    Subject: Re: MKIII X
    Jack, I think I just figured out Mike B wing angle setting problem. After talk ing to Brian @ TNK Tech Support, awhile back, he explained to me that with the redesign of the Xtra's wedge nose, this pr oduced a huge "nose down" phenomenon, when compared to higher setting for a Classic, hence the relocation angle of the main wings, compared to a Classic. I am under the impression Mike B's wings are too high, pitching down the fuselage wedge, a nd requiring a significant deviation of the hor. stab.'s angle from normal. The incidence measurements I got from Brian SHOULD be what Mike B's plane should be set at.

    From: "jb92563" <jb92563@yahoo.com>
    In everything aircraft I take the RISK approach. The fewer points of failure you introduce into a system the less likely it is to fail. Points of potential failure in a fuel system are: Valves, T's(Fittings of any kind ie couplers, quick disconnects etc), filters, pumps, electrical, and of course the operator. Failures in the above result from: Vibration, cracks, corrosion, air leaks, blockage, electrical failure(Loose wire or poor continuity), material failures due to age, heat, cold, brittleness, flexibility or lack of it(Kinked lines or cracking ones), distracted operator etc. You get the picture....! What ever you do just keep the points of failure to the absolute minimum that you can live with. And remember that inconvenience on the GROUND is infinitely LESS RISKY than a problem in the AIR. -------- 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=172207#172207

    Subject: Horizontal stabilizer mounting
    Mike B. I just went back and examined your modification to the hor. stab. mount. OH MY GOD!!! You used aluminum (!!!) to relocate that position!! And you had to notch it, to boot. I would red tag your plane immediately, if I was an FAA inspector!! If one of those aluminum straps let go, it would place an enormous amount of twisting force on on the one remaining, with a likely failure of the second one almo st instantaneous. You have been lucky so far, don't push your luck any further. The very LEAST you should have done is make the extension out of 1/8" 413 0 chromoly!! However, it is my opinion you wings are NOT set correctly, and this require d an "odd" hor. stab. setting is the result. You need to set your wings correctly, to within a gnat's ass of perfect, THEN reset the hor. stab. to recommended position.

    Mike, Can you post the wing incidence angles you got from Brian ? According to the numbers I have, my wings are dead on at + 3 degrees, and the boom is also right on. I am supposed to have the Xtra numbers, but it wont hurt to confirm them. Mike -------- &quot;NO FEAR&quot; - If you have no fear you did not go as fast as you could have !!!

    Subject: Re: fuel system plumbing, aux tank
    From: "JetPilot" <orcabonita@hotmail.com>
    John, If I turn on the Pump before the Mains are empty, they will overfill and the excess goes out the vent tube on the bottom on the plane. Other than wasting fuel at almost 4 bucks a gallon, no harm is done. If I forget the valve, the fuel simply wont be drawn by the pump. Not quite as easy as the single large tank in your plane, but for 150 bucks and minimal work, it is a very good solution for those that would like more fuel for a stock MK III setup. Kolbs new tank is the best answer, I put my tank in before that was available. I will leave my tank in even when I get the new 18 gallon tank, as that will give me 24 gallons if I ever need it. The noise proofing I did in my plane is quite effective, and the pump is right behind me. I can hear it in flight, and it gets louder if its left and it stops drawing fuel.

    Subject: Re: MKIII X
    Mike W: I think you will find as you get some time in Kolbs, which is a pusher, the problem with nose down pitch is the high thrust line coupled with the pusher configuration. The more power applied to that high "lever", the more nose up pitch trim the aircraft will require to take pressure off the stick. My mkIII with no power flies level with no pitch trim. As soon as the power starts coming up, the nose will want to go down and nose up pitch will be required to take pressure off the stick. Now......add a passenger in the other seat and it takes a great deal more nose up pitch trim to take pressure off the stick. Wing incidence doesn't affect pitch trim, as far as I know. Kolbs are different animals than many other aircraft. Takes a little time and a lot of flying to get to know them well. I am still learning. Learned something new the other day with the new X. john h - Snow coming down and 38F. mkIII Labhart Field, KY Classic. I am under the impression Mike B's wings are too high, pitching down the fuselage wedge, and requiring a significant deviation of the hor. stab.'s angle from normal. Mike Welch

    Subject: Re: Horizontal stabilizer mounting
    Mike W: Maybe you need to do some more research. I'm willing to bet the wing incidence is set correctly on Mike B's X. Bryan Melborne built his airplane. BTW: I fly with factory wing incidence, but have dropped the leading edge of my horizontal stabilizer. Been flying this way since day one, with some experimentation up and down, until I found the "sweet spot". Once I found that, no further experimentation needed. john h mkIII Labhart Field, KY You need to set your wings correctly, to within a gnat's ass of perfect, THEN reset the hor. stab. to recommended position.

    Subject: Re: Horizontal stabilizer mounting
    From: "JetPilot" <orcabonita@hotmail.com>
    Mike, Thanks for your concern and warning, but those are thicker and stronger than they look in the picture. The extensions are not straps, are 3/8 inch thick aluminum blocks and made out of 6061-T6 aluminum. They are are much stronger than the tab that sticks out of the horizontal stab and attaches to them ( Which is loaded a bending force ). If one of the aluminum blocks broke, the one remaining would not only hold, it would still be stronger than the small 4130 tab that comes out of the horizontal stab. I considered using the same 1/8 inch 4130 steel that the original tabs are made out of, but the aluminum is corrosion proof,and at 3/8 inch thick is much stiffer and stronger. 4130 ChomMoly Tensile Strength = 90,000 PSI 6061-T6 Aluminum Tensile Strength = 45,000 PSI Considering that the aluminum block is 3 times as thick as the 4130 steel they are attached to, I calculate it at 50 % stronger. Overkill, but I like strong :) I do thank you for the warning though, I would rather have to recalculate and rethink a structural component than have something break on me on the very slim chance that I made a mistake [Wink] Mike -------- &quot;NO FEAR&quot; - If you have no fear you did not go as fast as you could have !!!

If you forget to turn it on before you run dry on the main tanks, it might get suddenly quiet. I initially had a Ken Brock 9 gal seat tank in my FS. Used the 5 gal original tank as an aux. Normal procedure was fly 2.0 hrs off the clock and turn on the drain valve. On two seperate occassions I forgot to turn on the valve at 2.0 hrs. First one put me on the ground between Perry and Live Oak, FL. Second one was low level over cultivated fields on the south side of Lake Okeechobie, FL. I lucked out and got a hand restart before I hit the ground, which would have torn up my airplane in those conditions. john h mkIII Labhart Field, KY

    Subject: Re: MKIII X
    John H. I am aware of the nose down tendency of the raised rear engine mount. Al though my experience with this tendency is very faded. It has been a few years since I was training to fly a Quicksilver MXII, w/582. But, is this "nose down" force real significant? I just can't recall, my self. What I was getting at was my conversation with Brain, where he stated tha t when TNK was doing the initial flight testing of the Xtra, they evidently hadn't remounted the lea ding edge position of the h.stab. & main wings, yet. It appears as thought the wedge design was "plowing" int o the air, creating a tremendous nose down force (with the hor. stab. and the main wings not relocated yet f rom the higher Classic position.) One thing I am NOT is an authority on much. You want to know about concr ete and building, I'm your man!!! But, when it comes to building and flying Kolbs, I'm a novice at best. Pre tty much all of the performance, characteristics, tendencies, etc. of a Kolb is/will be new to me. One thin g I have is an open mind, to listen to the advice of others, especially those that do know what the hell they'r e talking about. Something still seems to be a little off regarding Mike B's plane. 85 mp h top speed, with the 912S, strikes me he has something out of whack. Wing settings, prop pitch, something. These are all the bugs I want ironed out of my plane prior to the first f light!!! I assume nothing!!

    Subject: wing and hor stab incidences
    Mike B & others, These are the measurements, in degrees, of the planes I have been given. These readings are predicated on setting your main wings to 9 degrees, fir st!! By setting the main wings to 9 degrees, your landing gear has nothing to do with any further measurements. For anyone else that wants to check and verify these figures, feel free t o chime in. But, remember, prop up your wings to 9 degrees, or all these f igures are useless. You have to have a basic reference point to begin, I j ust happened to choose 9 degrees...... In analyzing these figures, be be honest, what these SHOULD be applied to is a drawing!!! I see where Brian's angle under the fuselage is off by a huge margin. Why? He likely took a reading from a different location, tha n the others.

I thought I remembered from last year (never got the plane ready in time) that nobody was camping there. I'll be driving down in the morning from my NY cabin but the long return trip in the evening after a long day outdoors and flying is always a drag. Fortunately with the US there's plenty of room to sack out below the tail boom when the plane's in the trailer. -Dana do not archive -- Ever notice how fast Windows runs? Neither did I.

    Mike I had a conversation with Barnaby Wilifan at Oshkosh the year New Kolb introduced the MKIIIX (Barnaby did the design for the Xtra). He indicated that he wanted Kolb to raise the nose a bit because he felt it was flying a bit nose low creating more drag than he wanted to see. I don't know if Kolb reduced the angle of attack of the wing but a few other things would need to be changed like longer gear legs and reposition the horizontal stabilizer. Not sure if it is related but when you buy the longer gear legs for the Xtra the factory wants you to lower the angle of attack on the wing. Most 80 HP Rotax MKIIICs and my VW powered MKIIIC cruise at 75MPH. The factory claims 10 MPH improvement with the Xtra so 85MPH seems about right. I know when I have flown cross country with the 100HP MKIIIC guys they are always giving me a rough time about how slow my plane is. I think a 100 HP MKIIIC cruises about 80.

I have never gone as fast as the plane would go in level flight, I always back off the throttle when it gets in the 80's... I have just never wanted to go any faster in my Kolb. I did see 90 once by accident, on a steep approach, looking back for the 172 that was behind me on final :) When I looked foward, speed had crept up to 90 MPH [Shocked] Given what John H reported in his first post, I may have my prop pitched to much. I am climbing out at 5200 RPM, I set it based on what he was reporting for his MK III Classic. I might get better performance setting the pitch to climb out at 5400 - 5500 RPM as John has set for the MK III Xtra he is testing now.

    Subject: Re: MKIII X
    Rick N., Those are the specific issues I was referring to, namely the nose down te ndency of the Xtra wedge. Yes, ALL the wings and stabilizers setting are different on the Xtra, compa red to a Classic due to this newer design. Additionally, if one goes to the newer steel gear legs, which are taller, this also requires a change in wing position...which requires a stab. reposition. John H. says that Mike B's plane was built by Bryan Melbourne. Although I don't know much about this gentleman, from what I understand he is one of the leading Kolb authorities . In other words, he knows what the heck he's doing. Then why the radical remount of the leading edge of the hor. stab.??? Is it possible, just possible, his wings are mounted in the lower, alumin um gear leg position? A quick answer to this question is: Mike B, at what location is your win g tabs drilled and mounted? I was told by Brian that IF you have the steel legs, the tab is drilled at the TOP, on the wing root tab. Have you checked?? BTW, when Mike B. stated his plane had a serious "nose down" tendency, I understood him to say he meant during cruise, not just when adding power, the usual action of a high mounted rear engine. I could be wrong, but that is what I thought he was getting at.

    Rick N: I know of four, no five MKIII's that cruise 85 mph at 5,000 with 80 and 100 hp engines. My MKIII was initially powered with a 65 hp Rotax, then an 80 and now a 100. Cruise was 80 mph, 85 mph, and 88 mph at normal cruise rpm which was 5,800 for the two stroke and 5,000 for the 912's. Take care, john h mkIII Labhart Field, KY - Getting ready to get some more time in the X. Sun has broken through and the wind has died down a bit. know when I have flown cross country with the 100HP MKIIIC guys they are always giving me a rough time about how slow my plane is. I think a 100 HP MKIIIC cruises about 80. Rick Neilsen

    Mike W: I am a Kolb man. No experience in any other ULs and very little in a 152, just enough to get a private ticket after I retired from the Army. Unlike the Kolb, the MX engine is mounted inverted beneath the wing. The thrust line is below the wing, not well above the wing like our Kolbs. I am sure there is a big difference in handling and flight characteristics, opposite thrust lines. Every Kolb I have flown has had to be tuned up and tweaked to get it to fly like the builder/flyer wants it to. I don't know of anyone with the capability of most of us, working in basements, garages, and living rooms, could build something as sophisticated at an airplane and get it to fly 100% right out of the box. If you can iron out all the bugs before the first flight, you are a better man than me. ;-) Most Kolbs hit an invisible wall, after which no amount of power is going to make enough difference to make them into a Glasair. I have accepted my mkIII is an 85 mph airplane. Have been able to cover great distances with it and still get back home. If I had been flying all those hours and miles with a 300 mph airplane, there are times I would have been bored in it the same as I get, at times, in my mkIII flying over long, boring, uncomfortable wind condition places. However, when the terrain and the flying get exciting again, I rarely thing of how fast I am flying across the ground. Take care, john h mkIII Labhart Field, KY I am aware of the nose down tendency of the raised rear engine mount. Although my experience with this tendency is very faded. It has been a few years since I was training to fly a Quicksilver MXII, w/582. Something still seems to be a little off regarding Mike B's plane. 85 mph top speed, with the 912S, strikes me he has something out of whack. Wing settings, prop pitch, something. These are all the bugs I want ironed out of my plane prior to the first flight!!! I assume nothing!! Mike Welch

    Hi Bill, I would just install a filler "down pipe" that limits you to ~5 gals and forget about replacing the tank, if it is still in decent condition. As long as you can not modify that fill limiter easily while fueling then it should be perfectly legal for part 103. Since you have your weight made your in good shape. I'm the guy with the 15 Gal fiberglass behind seat tank in my UltraStar, and will be doing likewise with a filler "down Pipe" limiter this week to comply with part 103. Your project sounds very interesting....I'm sure the excitement level is mounting. A good long strip with open fields all around is probably in order for your first test hops. Especially since your not sure about the Angle of Incidence and are entering experimental territory. I would also suggest you get another Kolber to take a good look over your aircraft in detail to make sure everything "looks right". Looking forward to hearing about your progress. -------- 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=172297#172297

    Hi Dana, Do you have a complete list of UltraStar concerns/bookmarks available? I'd sure be interested to see what else you found. I will note those and check them out. The diagonal bracing is a couple tubes that attach to the leading edge at one end and are attached to the Main tube spare at the other forming a triangle between the main spar tube, a rib and the diagonal brace. They prevent the leading edge from moving towards the tip or root directions from vibration, uneven skin covering tension spanwise, flight loads and rough ground handling. Your sleeve connecting the two leading edges might help that some if clamped tight. -------- 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=172301#172301

    Subject: Re: MKIII X
    John H. A minor point of clarification....the MXII I was training in was a top mount 582. You are correct, in that most Quicks were inverted, but I wasn't clear to mention I meant a "top mounted" version. (see photo) And my experience level is was/still is beginner to novice. I think I had about 12-15 hours, total, prior to deciding to get my regular private pilot license. I know the top mounted style aircraft exerts a downward push on the nose, I just don't recall how much. (I flew the Quicks as a trainee back in 1993-1994, and never soloed) I doubt very seriously if I get my MkIII correct, right out of the box(es). I most certainly want to al least get it close. I made a terrible assumption, once before, about flying ultralights. Very bad results. I'd like to think I no longer assume anything. Verification and assurance of facts, IMO, is a good route. My flying experience is also quite limited. Trained in a C-150, got about 15 hours of misc. training in the MXII's, bought my first C-172, sold it to build this MkIII, bought my present C-172, and it's for sale (Trade a Plane). Maybe a total of about 600 hours. I have enough experience to know I need to be instucted in a Kolb prior to flying one!! The reason for the sale of my Cessna is that I believe my finished MkIII will be all the airplane I will need. My intention isn't to really make it "scream along", just fly within it's expected, and properly tuned parameters.

If I tell you my Firestar's top speed straight and level is 100mph and stalls at 18mph with VGs would you be impressed? What if I posted actual pictures of my air-speed indicator reading those figures? I believe it prudent to view all posted air speeds with a healthy degree of skepticism because of the significant variations in air- speed indicators from one plane to another. For me it is merely interesting information with little real value. My personal opinion,,,,,,,, proud as I am of my numbers. ;-) Gene

Some have had a bottom mounted engine, but in either case, the thrust line is very close to the wing. Not as high as a Kolb (except, of course, an Ultrastar), but a Quick is also kinda strung out vertically, so there's a lot of drag down low. There is significant pitch trim change with power. -Dana -- Work is underway on drafting a new constitution for Iraq. Why don't we send them ours?

Yes, I understand that. I wasn't sure if that's what John was referring to as "lateral bracing". >Your sleeve connecting the two leading edges might help that some if >clamped tight. No, that provides no spanwise support. I imagine it was originally installed to support the center gap seal, but it would also tend to prevent relative vertical motion of the leading edges (i.e. wing twist). -Dana -- Work is underway on drafting a new constitution for Iraq.

The sleeve isn't clamped tight; it's just a short piece of the next size larger tubing slipped over the leading edge tubes. It stays on one side, then when the wings are unfolded it slips to the center and spans across both. There's no spanwise support other than friction, though I expect it might help to prevent any relative vertical motion (wing twist). Still, I have to think on this. There's always a "slight bit of play" in any connection, and although I presume it was added to help support the wing gap seal, I don't know that it's actually that important... and it IS kind of a PITA to slip into place. OTOH, it WOULD add some additional support in the event of a failure at some other point. -Dana -- Work is underway on drafting a new constitution for Iraq. Why don't we send them ours?

    Ray- For now, I am doing what you are- a filler down pipe. Easiest way until next fall. The Palmer, Mass. field looks the best for being local and out of the air traffic. While I need a brush-up on flying, the last air maps I read were written on parchment using berries for ink. I am a little out of date. I could bring it to a friend's farm and get some time in, but unless I get led around I have an excellent chance of becoming an aluminum bug on the windshield of a 757. I have to be patient- It's too cold at ground level, never mind up there with no wood stove. Only a few more weeks... do not archive Bill Sullivan FS/KXP Windsor Locks, Ct.

    Ray- I forgot. The reason I questioned the angle of incidence was that the KXP wings had 3 holes on the forward mount. The center one worked out for the correct angle. I was wondering if anyone had had occassion to experiment- looks like others are discussing this now, and I'm learning. I am not going to try anything funny at this point. Once I know the habits of this thing I may pull the adapter channels off and drill two more holes in each. Bill Sullivan FS/KXP Windsor Locks, Ct.

    The Wheels on my plane are not set right as of now they are set like this: Left gear: toe out 2.5* Right gear: toe in 5.5* This gives my plane a left sideways track. What is the easiest way to correct this? We were thinking to ream out the hole in the (axle holder) the steel piece on the end of the landing gear leg so that the axle holder can be rotated on the gear leg to the right position. Once the right position is set the enlarged hole will be welded partially shut and re drilled to round the hole in the correct position. What are your thoughts on this?

    without looking at your particular problem there are a couple ways to look at it you could drill the holes out bigger on the 4130 axle piece that slips over the aluminum gear leg install big enough washers ,align the gear and weld the washers in place to hold it in place I would tack weld it make sure the gear is where you want it then remove to finish welding it or You could look at re drilling on the upper end of the gear leg to get your gear lined up mabe slide the leg in or out a bit to give you a good solid hole placement worth what you paid for it have fun Ellery in Maine do not archive In a message dated 3/24/2008 8:31:48 P.M.

    Bill, I pulled out my old Firestar plans and took a look. It looks like you have KX wings. My plans have two wing versions, a five rib "KX only" and seven rib "KXP only". The plans show no difference at the rear drag strut fitting between models. I'm not sure why the fitting was sticking out so far on your wing set. The plans show the center of the trailing edge end of the hole in the drag strut fitting as protruding 3/4" from the rib. This would put the end toward the leading edge at just less than an inch. I have attached a quick (not to scale) sketch of the area to clarify the above. If you have trouble with the .pdf let me know and I can post it as a jpeg. You are going to love your plane. Light Firestars are a delight to fly. -------- Roger in Oregon 1992 KXP 503 - N1782C Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=172434#172434 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/drag_strut_attach_sketch_703.pdf

    Roger- The drawing you posted looks exactly like the original wings on my plane. The replacement wing set has a rear mount that was mounted 90 degrees off from the drawing (the attaching bolt for the u-joint goes the other way from the drawing.) The mount on the new wing set is a massive lug compared to the original (pictured). Dimensions from front to rear were different by a couple of inches. Maybe my plane is a Firestar/KX. What year are those plans? Bill Sullivan FS/KX Windsor Locks, Ct.
