Hi Jack,
I am from France, it is a Ultralight special base.
It is 70Km far from Paris in the Vexin.
Here is the google maps links:
http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=49.257274,1.659923&spn=0.010041,0.019312&t=k&z=16
Your Web site is awesome, lot of very interesting things and subject.
About Simonini Engines: I think the Simonini Mini 3 will do the job for an
Ultrastar (33Hp only 20Kg)
http://www.simonini-flying.com/mini3_eng.htm
What is your opinion?

No trees at all, very easy airport, see the google maps satellite view. It

Cristal
I have glued in a piece of fabric about 6 inches in from the end. Then
had to cut small slits in the fabric to let the cables pass through. My
purpose for doing this was not to keep critters out,,, it was to keep the
air in the cabin from being sucked out the back. This way I can keep a bit
warmer in the winter.

Serious problem, rodents.
My main concern is urine. It is very corrosive, especially to aluminum.
I don't know of anyway to check the tailboom tube to insure it has not been
corroded by rodent urine. Very difficult to see using a flashlight and
peeking in the end of the tube.
Several years ago my mkIII was attacked by rodents, rats and/or chipmonks.
Major damage was caused by chewing wire bundles, kevlar parachute bridals,
seats, even plastic hydraulic brake lines filled with fluid. They's chew up
any thing to build a nest.
I haven't had a problem with them for some time now. I keep a couple
Valerian capsules in the tail boom and floor of the cockpit. Valerian is a
herb you can buy at Walmart.
Hope the neighbors have not moved in while I have been gone the last two
months.

Does it affect mice in the same way it affects cats?

I hope not too. We also have a LOT of spiders in the hanger and I found where
a couple have been making their nests/laying their eggs/whatever you call it in
tiny crevices. I don't know if they cause much corrosion, but one had a webby
mess inside the tube where my tailwheel attaches.

Interesting. In cats, if catnip is analogous to kittie pot, valerian is
kitty LSD. Hope the mice don't figure that one out or the hangar cat is in

Subject: | Re: direction of air in the tube |
It is interesting that the air in your fuselage tube goes to the rear and mine
goes to the front. In fact, in the winter, I have to wear a hood to keep the
cold air off of my neck. I have thought about blocking the air in the tube, but
it helps to reduce the vacuum in the nose cone and could slow the plane down.
Mine is slow enough already. (fast cruise 67mph)

Subject: | Re: direction of air in the tube |
Vic
I think air moves forward in most if not all Kolbs. My theory is that it is
inefficient allowing air to move forward through the fuselage tube. I figure
that airplane is moving forward through the air and when it gets to the rear
of the fuselage tube it turns 180 degrees and it moves forward. This would
consume considerable energy. I plugged mine. I used a insulating foam called
tough stuff but I would not recommend it. The foam locked on to the control
cables so much so that I thought I might brake the cables before they broke
loose.

Lots more vibration with a single cylinder engine. Are you having problems
with the engine you have now?
If it were me I think I'd choose the Simonini Victor 1 (more hp and dual
ignition) over the Mini 3.

Xtra. Again, I'm only looking for a nice paint job to use as a basis
for my paint scheme, not copy someone else's.
Thanks,

Subject: | Kolb Firestar II plans |
I have a complete set of Kolb Firestar II plans. I hate to through them away. Does
anyone on the list want them. There in a PVC pipe tube (4 or 5"). Not sure
what the cost to ship but would only charge actual shipping charges. I'm flying
my Aeronca 7AC Champ - N83406, on a regular basis. I love it!

cold air off of my neck. I have thought about blocking the air in the tube,
but it helps to reduce the vacuum in the nose cone and could slow the plane down.
Mine is slow enough already. (fast cruise 67mph)

Blocking the inside of tail boom wont have any effect on speed. Given the volume
and velocity of the outside air, blocking the little bit of air that comes
in the tube just wont make any noticeable difference except keeping you warmer.

Hi Larry,
During 1.30 hour in the morning i run on the runway to learn my feet with
the plane, and y see a hole in the tire begining to grow. ( I think the
tires are 20 years old )
It was before my first fly; I take some strong repair scotch and made this
bandage, it work quite well!!
Sure I wanted to fly. I am on the process to receive two new tire :)
