    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.

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.

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. -------- Cristal Waters Kolb Mark II Twinstar Rotax 503 DCSI Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=217351#217351

    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 for a high old time.

    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.

    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.

    Subject: Xtra paint job
    Kolb guys=2C While perusing the internet=2C I recently came across a photo of an Xtra that I thought looked nice=2C and something I might be interested in using as a "model" to paint my plane. (note: I said model=2C not copy!!) This Xtra has a deep blue bottom half of the fuselage=2C and the top half is white. It also has bright yellow included=2C but I can't recall where it was. (These colors are=2C coincidentally=2C the same colors I already h ave of Poly Tone that I got a few years ago from Dondi.) I can't seem to find that picture now. If you are familiar with this Xtr a=2C can you tell me where I can get a couple of photos? Or=2C by any chance=2C do you have a photo of a nice paint job on an Xtra . Again=2C I'm only looking for a nice paint job to use as a basis for my paint scheme=2C not copy someone else's. Thanks=2C Mike Welch MkIII CX _________________________________________________________________ Send e-mail faster without improving your typing skills. http://windowslive.com/Explore/hotmail?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_hotmail_acq_spee d_122008

    I got the idea of my paint scheme for my Ultrastar out of a Radio Control Parts Catalog. Catalog was full of many different paint jobs. Worked so well on the Ultrastar, I painted the Firestar and the MKIII the same way. john h mkIII Sierra Vista, AZ ----- Original Message ----- From: Mike Welch To: kolb-list@matronics.com Sent: Tuesday, December 02, 2008 9:34 PM Subject: Kolb-List: Xtra paint job Kolb guys, While perusing the internet, I recently came across a photo of an Xtra that I thought looked nice, and something I might be interested in using as a "model" to paint my plane.

    Subject: Kolb Firestar II plans
    From: "John H Murphy" <mailjohnmurphy@gmail.com>
    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!

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) > Vic MkIII Classic 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 :) Jean 2008/12/3 Larry Cottrell <lcottrell@fmtcblue.com> > I heard of a guy who stuffed his tee shirt inside the tire to get back > home after a flat, I guess he should have tied it to the outside, a lot less > work for sure. > Thanks for enlightenment. > Larry C > do not archive > > ----- Original Message ----- > *From:* robert bean <slyck@frontiernet.net> > *To:* kolb-list@matronics.com > *Sent:* Tuesday, December 02, 2008 6:44 PM > *Subject:* Re: Kolb-List: Fwd: Premier Vol avec L'Ultrastar > > Keeps the air in silly boy.
