John's Kolb is the first Kolb I've seen in flight (as a spectator from the ground).
I've always been inside the Kolb or just seen videos.
Watching Miss P'fer take off and turn and fly overhead was a beautiful sight.
We all stood there watching silently as his plane grew smaller and smaller off
in the distance. We continued to watch as if we were sitting in some theather
watching the last of the credits scroll off the screen of a really good picture
show that left us wanting more. Then his brother Jim broke the silence with
one word, "Wellp", as if to say "ok kids, the movie's over, they won't play
it again, it's time to go home."

My friend, Andy, took those pictures. He did a great job I thought.
It was totally clear when I got to the Waycross airport a little after 8am. We
flew for about 40-45 minutes and got to Douglas around 9:30 I think. Jim Hauck
said he went through some very thick fog on his drive up from Florida. John
flew in the night before and camped out at the Douglas airport.

Looks good.
One of these days I must figure out how to repair the fairing that was made
for my mkIII in 2000.
Let me know if you need the prop pitch tool back any time soon. I have to
send my blades to Warp Drive to have them refurbished before I can adjust
the pitch. Probably take a couple more weeks to get it done.

I arrived at Douglas Airport at 0845 and it was sunny and bright. I had some
duck waddling fog between Thomasville and Moultrie though.
As usual we had to wait on the Lady pilot to arrive before we could chow
down on a fantastic breakfast. :)
All in all it was a fine day.

Jerry,
I have the Generac Valley Twin V on my Firestar. I've got 90 hrs of
flight time on it since last summer.
It works for me, where I fly out of, because I've got plenty of
runway. Needs about 400' of roll to get off, climb rate is about 400
fpm, 60% of what the 503 did. Cruise and handling is the same as the
503 was. If you have other questions, just email me off list.

Aw, Be fair now Jim. If we hadn't have been fashionably late we would have hit
all that traffic coming in at 9 and mine and my gyrocopter friend's fly-over
wouldn't have been seen by many. :D
I was concerned about getting to park next to John, but he was sitting there off
to the side waiting for me so we got to park our Kolbs side-by-side. Thanks
for thinking ahead John!

Hi Kolbers,
I've created a flight route for my Sun N Fun flight - it was very easy on Google
Maps. I'd like to share it - and marked it as a "public" map. But when I go
to Google Maps and search for Arty's 2009 Sun n Fun Flight Route (which is what
I titled it) I can't find it.
Is there anyone out there who is familiar with Google Maps and can help me out.
You can send e-mail me directly so other Kolbers who aren't interested in the
fine points of Google Maps don't have to wear out their finger hitting delete!
Thanks,

John, I'm glad to see you are planning another AK trip this summer!! Good for
you!
About that age thing.... you've got lots of years of flying ahead of you if you
stay active and your health holds up. I know a 90 yr old retired AF transport
pilot who is still flying his beautiful Bonanza several times per week and is
still passing his FAA yearly medical (needs yearly for insurance). Since you
don't have to worry about medicals, you should be good for another 20-25 yrs
of fun.
Sounds like you need to get yourself (or make one) a motorized tug to pull that
MK-III up the hill to the shed.
Best of luck on your journey plans!

| Subject: | Atmospheric Pressure |
Kolb Friends -
Here's an interesting phenomenon I observed this weekend while working
on my Mark-3:
I put 10 gallons fuel into my gas tanks, but did not balance it evenly.
After fueling, there were 7 gallons of gas in one tank, and 3 in the
other. A fuel imbalance like this never bothers me, as it always
balances out when I fly - both tanks tee into a single fuel line that
goes to the engine. Usually, within a few minutes after taking off and
with the engine drawing fuel from the tanks, the tanks settle to a level
where they are exactly even.
But yesterday, after fueling, I did not fly; I spent the afternoon
working on my Kolb. To my surprise, both tanks were at EXACTLY the same
level, two hours after I had added the gas. Apparently, the normal
atmospheric pressure was enough to bubble the fuel thru the tee, with
the tanks balancing themselves naturally.
I had never seen this happen before. Kinda cool, as I did not think the
natural ambient air pressure was enough to do this. Always something
new to learn with this airplane!

Dennis,
The way I see it, pretty sure the tanks should balance out since they are connected
via the fuel lines. Bottom draw tanks should level out due to a fluid seeking
it's own level, top draw tanks due to the higher tank siphoning into the
lower one.
A top drawing pair of tanks may not balance out when the situation exists where
the fuel has left the fuel line for some reason, such as when an engine has not
run it a while and the fuel drains back to the tanks, or when you have opened
a line for some reason during maintenance. In that case, once you prime the
engine and start her up, they will level out.
My tanks always balance out whether the engine is on or not, & mine draw from the
top, except when I have opened the lines.

I HATE fireants! They LOVE me...they seek me out...especially if I try to wear
sandals. I can't imagine any town having a festival named after fireants. I'll
leave our Waycross fireants at home and hopefully bring some pilots, airplanes,
and maybe a gyrocopter along with me.
See you there I hope.

The stock MK III twin tanks that feed from the top will self equalize over time,
either on the ground or in flight... It does so by gravity and Siphoning action.
A siphon does not care if its feeding into another tank beside or below
the full tank, it will siphon until the pressure, or levels of the gasoline
are equal. Its a bit slow, but it works !

The is quite a nice center section, how long did it take you to do that entire

John,
Are you using the Warp Drive tool to set your pitch ? I thought you had a fairly

Can't help you with Google maps but have you ever tried the flight planner
software at areoplanner.com?
If you are a EAA member and you click on the right buttons the basic service
is free. It allows you to input your speed and fuel range etc. When you
enter your flight plan with major way points it gives you stack of custom
knee board size charts with all the most current chart data printed with a
highlighted wrought of flight with miles and times. If you print it just
before you go it calculates all the times using weather service projected
wind components.

Hi Rick -
I've used aeroplanner.com for flight planning. This is a little different - I just
want to be able to show - on a visual map, rather than a written list - cities/airports
along the route where we're likely to be landing. Google Maps has
just what I want - I'm just trying to figure out why others seem to be able
to get their maps to "show up" in a Google Maps search and I can't.

Mike B:
I always have used the Warp Protractor, as long as I have been flying Warps.
This time around I am going to do the final tweaking with a laser tool.
I have flown taper tips since day one in 1993.
Blades need to be returned to repair some small and a couple large dings I
have accumulated since my return from Alaska in 2004. That is when I
replaced the old prop with the new. Daryl will fix the dings, repaint the
black and put me some nice white stripes on the tips. Then they will be
rebalanced.
I have done the same repairs, with JB Weld, in the past, including painting,
which is done with a little masking tape and a can of flat black and one of
gloss white from Walmart. Only thing I could not do was precision balance
like Warp can do.
Yes, stuff falls off my engine, mains throw up gravel and mud. Sometimes I
forget to retrieve all the stuff I have on the wings before I crank. ;-)
Result, dinged prop blades.

The above is an error. I replaced the prop blades and hub two years ago
when I installed the new 912ULS.

My mistake! It should be:

Thanks for letting me know, I probably confused a lot of folks by inadvertently
omitting the 2009 from the URL.

| Subject: | UltraStar baggage |
This is doubtless one for John Hauck who's done some traveling in his US,
but anybody else, too... For Kolbs without cockpit enclosures (i.e.
UltraStar) or other ultralights, how to carry stuff? By "stuff" I mean
camping gear (sleeping bag, bivy sack, thermarest, and breakfast),
tiedowns, etc. There are some nice looking cargo pods at
<http://uflyit.com/cargo_pods.htm>, but they don't look like they hold much
and the hatch is pretty small; about 3000 in should do it. One thought I
had was to install a new fuel tank over the engine, and put a box where the
original fuel tanks are... or, I could just build the cargo box above the
engine. Or I could just lash my hiking backpack under the seat, but any
spilled fuel will land there.
I know some Quicksilver guys just unzip the sails and put soft stuff inside
the wings, but we don't have zippers...

Dana:
I did some cross country flights, 500 and 600 miles round trip, but those
flights were did not include camping. I cheated and stayed with Brother Jim
in Woodville, FL.
Didn't do my first self supported, sleep under the wing cross country until
October 1987.
On my flights in the US, I carried a small rucksack for clothes and stuff.
Bought a bungee cord type cargo net with hooks. Hooked it under the seat.
Worked great.
At the end of my US's life, I had a 6 gal tank under my knees, and a 1.75
gal go kart tank over the engine. That was a lot of fuel for a 35 hp
Cuyuna.
My initial cross country flights in the Firestar, I was able to get all my
camping stuff and clothes inside, except my sleeping bag. We welded some
tabs on the bottom of the fuselage just behind the main gear, used the same
bungee cargo net to secure my sleeping bag.
The next year we completely reconfigured the FS, 18 gal aluminum tank, cargo
area under it. I could get all my stuff inside the airplane now.

Tanks plumbed together below the fluid level will always equalize. Tanks
plumbed together above the fluid level will equalize if and only if there's
no air in the line... just like siphoning gas out of a car, you have to
suck all the air out and get the tube full to below the level in the tank,
then it will keep flowing.

Bob,
If you vent both tanks to the atmosphere, and set your valve to connect both
tanks, it should make an inverted siphon and the tanks will equalize. The
only reason that they would not do so is if the siphon is broken, such as,
fuel back feeding from the carburetor and/or the fuel pump due to a small
air leak somewhere in the system. May be the valve is the culprit. This will
cause a vapor lock in the inverted siphon and hence unequal levels.
You may want to check it out.
It is warming here so that I could fly, but the wind has been fierce.

Maybe gravity and/or atmospheric pressure works different in NY.
The tanks are set up identical/reversable, both have long dip tubes
cut at an angle on the ends.
Handy dandy fuel valves good for visual checking.
the vent tubes swivel on the cap fittings and are no problem when
refueling. They keep the caps from
falling into the yawning abyss.
A little on the grimy side I admit but I don't enter any
contests. :) -BB

I don't like the fuel valves on top of the tanks, if you were ever to get a slight
air leak in one of the valves, you would lose your " Prime " and the lines
would quickly fill with air, not drawing fuel anymore resulting in sudden engine
failure.
I agree with John H, I like the fuel to be fed from the bottom of the tank, but
the Kolb system uses the top feed as in your picture and that is what I have.
Given this, I have the best line and connections available on tops of the tank,
with no valves or anything else above the BOTTOM level of the tanks, and no
chance of an air leak resulting in a loss of prime in the lines and an engine
failure. A leak below bottom level of the tank results in a drip rather than
sudden engine failure, that is where I put my filters, gascolator, and fuel
pump.

| Subject: | Gap Seals - An Easy Way to Give your Kolb more control Autho |
Installing Gap Seals in on a Kolb is a very easy way to make the flight controls
more responsive. Most people already have gap seals on their ailerons which
is a great help in roll, but putting gap seals on the elevator and rudder can
also help those control surfaces. Attached are some pictures of my Gap seals,
I used light Polyfiber fabric and just attached it the way the book says to
do a patch, its worked very well. I put the gap seal on the top of the elevator
because on my Kolb, the horizontal stab on my Kolb is rigged in such a way
that the air is always pushing it down ( Yours may vary depending on a lot of
things ). On the rudder, I put the gap seal in an S pattern attaching to the
left side of the Vertical tail and the Right side of the rudder. This means
that no matter which way I push the rudder the gap seal stays in place. I would
highly recommend that elevators also be done in the S configuration top to
bottom also, having a gap seal lift up could create a very bad and dangerous
condition !
Results were very positive, I have more elevator authority for heavy passengers
and forward CG loadings, and my standard Kolb spring elevator trim system is
effective over the entire CG range of my plane. On the tail, the effect of the
increased authority can clearly be seen by how much I had to bend the trim tab
to get the Kolb to fly straight in Cruise. The clear lexan tab was the standard
Lexan trim tab bent to the standard 30 degree angle that Most MK III's
require to fly straight before the gap seal was added to the rudder. After putting
on the gap seals, I only needed about half as much bend in the rudder tab
for the plane to fly straight at cruise as can be seen in the new aluminum tap,
demonstrating that the rudder is now more effective and requiring less trim
and deflection for the same cruise condition.
