    Subject: fuel additive
    Dont know how many know this but there is another answer to using low lead av gas. I have been reading (and using) about the new Sta-bil. There is a website for it at www.goldeagle.com/sta-bil/stabil_marine.htm. There are also some other brands you can find at marine outlets. I have used stabil forever to keep tractor and motorbikes, generators clean. This is formulated special for ethanol. I had it in my gas the whole time I was flying at the homecoming. It sets my mind at ease that I should not have to worry about corn squeezins in my tanks. Check it out and you may find one less thing to worry about. Oh, yeah, put in my rv too, one once per ten gals of gas and although I did not get better mileage, it did run a whole lot faster over the mountains, has an octane booster in it. I am sold. Had a funtastic time at homecoming. Great to see all you guys again, so many Kolbs, so little time. Was impressed with the Hurth on the MkC. Sounded and performed pretty much as a Rotax but I guess a bunch cheaper. Also was a fantastic plane. Red, White and Blue, my colors. My Kudos to all who worked the homecoming. We appreciate it.

    Subject: Re: Use of Facet fuel pumps as backup to pulse pump
    From: "JetPilot" <orcabonita@hotmail.com>
    Howard, The first part of your post is very good, there are many reasons to have a backup fuel pump, and your experience is just another example of many reasons as to how having backup electric fuel pump can prevent an engine failure. I strongly disagree with the second part of your post, an electric fuel pump should always be on for takeoff and landing. Takeoff is where the fuel demand is the highest, and when you are most likely to need an electric pump. The safest thing you can do is to keep your engine running on takeoff, and prevent a crash period, you will not have time to turn on your fuel pump or restart if your engine quits soon on takeoff. You increase the chances of a crash and the fire you are so worried about by not running a backup fuel pump on takeoff. You obviously saw the results of one accident where a freak set of circumstances made it much worse, but to base your actions on ONE ACCIDENT is bad judgment. Just because something happens ONCE does not make it PROBABLE. I flipped a coin once, and it landed on the edge, does that mean than in a coin toss I am always going to guess the coin will land on the edge ??? No, I will chose heads or tails... I will chose something that is likely, not something that has a one in a million chance just because I have seen it before. Your chances of a crash on takeoff and a post crash fire are increased by NOT running the fuel pump. It is important to look at what the biggest risks are rather than obsessing over what happened in one freak accident. In certified aircraft, the procedure is to have electric backup pumps running for takeoff and landing. The best solution to avoid a fire is to avoid a crash on takeoff, the best way to avoid a crash is to keep your engine running on takeoff.

Fuselage was built in Feb 1991, some years before the Xtra was conceived by TNK. My MKIII is not a MKIII Classic, just a MKIII. I refer to the Xtra as a MKIIIX. ;-) b.

    I believe the DEP requires that fuel-contaminated soil be BURNED -- like, cremated. That's one reason why it costs so much. The air pollution may well be worse than burying it -- but that's the Gov't for you. A residence nearby had a fuel-oil leak that cost over $100-K. do not repeat! do not archive On Sep 23, 2008, at 7:58 AM, robert bean wrote: > > disposed of? in other words they dig it up and move it to another > spot..-problem solved?.... no > transplanted maybe.

    Subject: Re: Mark III performance
    Kolb doesn't publish a POH for any of their planes. This is very common with experimentals. Every plane is built differently so a POH would be meaningless. Sorry but that's the way it is. VNE is published as 100MPH for this plane but that is about it. Cruise speeds range from 50-80 MPH for this plane but this is all dependant on engines and accuracy/installation of the airspeed indicator. We weren't ignoring you we just don't have what you wanted. It is always best to tell us about yourself and your plane so that we can help you better. We are not in any way part of the Kolb factory.

    Hi Bill E: TNK has three employees. All three worked their butts off last week and Sa turday and Sunday to put on the Kolb Homecoming for us. I got a good idea they had the day off yesterday and today. I bet if you call Travis in the morning, he'll be there and get you a new counterbalance weight to UPS tomo rrow. BTW: They don't get overtime, and some of their hours have been cut. That hurts in todays environment. Take care, john h mkIII Can anybody tell me where I can get a replacement weight for my Fir estar II aileron? I am not having much luck with the "new" Kolb factory. No answer.

    Replaced my airspeed tube on Saturday with same tube as my fuel line and it worked just fine. It was a windy bumpy day here on Saturday...more than I care to fly in again. It has cooled off around here now but it's still pretty gusty. Maybe the wind will calm down right around dusk and I can go up and take a look around.

    Hi Bill, How goes the Firestar flying? Sorry to hear about your unintentional donation. The Kolb guys are really good folks to deal with.With the Kolb Homecoming and other stuff they may have needed a short break before getting back to work. How many hours have you put on your bird since you've got it? Us busy-bodies would like to know :-) Best Regards Carlos Grageda ----- Original Message ----- From: Bill Eslick To: kolb-list@matronics.com Sent: Tuesday, September 23, 2008 2:09 PM Subject: Kolb-List: FS II Aileron balance weight Can anybody tell me where I can get a replacement weight for my Firestar II aileron? I am not having much luck with the "new" Kolb factory. No answer. Seem to have donated this one to the countryside this morning. Bill E.

    It was a beautiful evening for flying! Temperature is wonderful, sunset was gorgeous (it just goes down too fast!), air was smooth and just enough of a breeze to give a good lift. With the sun setting so early now I just had time for a couple trips around the pattern before the sun went down. But those few minutes are wonderful. -------- Cristal Waters Mark II Twinstar Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p 5859#205859

    Subject: harvested peanut feild for a landing strip?
    From: "grantr" <grant_richardson25@yahoo.com>
    Today the farmer picked the peanuts in the field surrounding my house so now I have a big 30ish acre field with 1200 to 1800 feet of length in any direction. Since the crop has been picked the field is smooth with rows of peanut hay however its real dry and dusty. I am sure many of you are familiar with peanut fields and how dusty things are during harvest. I would like to use it as my airstrip until the guy plows it in which will be a while probably 4 to 5 months however i am a bit concerned about the dusty conditions damaging my prop and sand blasting the tail section. Do any of you fly from fields like this? Should i be concerned with the dirt the prop is going to kick up? It would be so convenient to roll my plane out of the trailer and takeoff from my backyard.
