    From: george.mueller@aurora.org
    In case anyone on the Kolb list might be interested, I currently have my 701 for sale on ebay without the engine or FWF (I have the hibble to start a new project, and I plan to keep my Rotax 912UL for the next project.) The reserve price is set at well below the cost of the parts. NO engine, prop or FWF included. You can save 1200 hours of building, the cost of tools, and a few thousand over the cost of the kits. You also have the full range of engine options for the airframe (there are several used Rotax engines currently available on Barnstormers for pretty good prices, people are also seem to be having good luck with the VW engines, which are really inexpensive). The airframe flew beautifully, very light and responsive on the controls, straight as an arrow. The ebay number is: 200321407977. George in Milwaukee N701GM 60 Hours flying

    No, the furry critter is a tribble ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Trouble_with_Tribbles). "The hibble" is a combination of a "hankering" for something, but you know it might mean terrible trouble with the wife. Hankering-terrIBLE trouble... hibble. ;-) -- R On Wed, Mar 18, 2009 at 10:10 AM, Mike Welch <mdnanwelch7@hotmail.com>wrote : > Hibble?? > What's a hibble?

    Nice to hear there are a few of us Klobers in So Fl. Are any of you planning flying to S&F this year? If there is maybe some of us can fly up as a group.

    That is very good information, makes me very glad I got a Warp Drive prop ! Since the performance is so close, the warp has the advantage of being far stronger than all the others.

    Subject: Aero Coatings
    From: Richard Girard <aslsa.rng@gmail.com>
    Awhile back I posted a request for information from anyone who had a working knowledge of Loehle Aircraft's Aero Coating fabric finishing system. There was only one response. About the same time I called Loehle, spoke with Sandy (she didn't give a last name) and ordered their book, paying by debit card. After almost three weeks of waiting to see it grace the mailbox, I emailed them to request that if the book had not already been sent, please just cancel the order and refund my money. I never received any sort of reply and after checking tonight, I see that they never even bothered to take the payment. I can only wonder what might have transpired if I were deep into using their product and found I needed another quart of one of their reducers. Not very impressive customer service. Rick

    Rick=2C Therein lies the problem of every company on this planet. Some are fanta stic=2C some are absolutely useless. Thanks for alerting everybody about L oehle's business practices. For what it's worth=2C you can't get better service for Poly Fiber and Ae rothane products than Jim and Dondi Miller. "Best there it!!" When I recently painted my entire plane (two weeks ago)=2C Jim gave me so me pointers that helped solve a couple of "issues" I was having. BTW=2C Beaufort=2C you were right. A glass of warm MEK each night really helped me get past the arduous painting project. I might have to argue ab out the "kid" comment. At 56=2C I ain't no Spring Chicken.

    Subject: Re: Aero Coatings
    Rick Have a story also...but since it happened to a friend I will not relate it here... I would not deal with them on that account.. Sandy is Mike Loehle's wife... She holds the fort down.. The paint system is a first quality product...judging from a plane that I saw ... Two part Poly urethane... as I recall... The system is not their invention to my mind...The all in one sealer/uv paint is latex perhaps? I am thinking someone out west...Wash state or Montana? may be the supplier? The best finish I have ever seen was on my Z Max...Automotive Base coat-Clear coat...Tremendous gloss and depth... UV protection goes into the clear coat...The plane I had was 5 years old and showed no signs of cracking or ring worm. sherwin williams ultra 7000 ..... Naturally I did not paint it....:-) Herb At 08:22 PM 3/18/2009, you wrote: >Awhile back I posted a request for information from anyone who had a >working knowledge of Loehle Aircraft's Aero Coating fabric finishing >system.

    Subject: Anyone have experence with Hirth F-30?
    Hello Folks, Does anyone have experience with a Hirth F-30 2 cycle; it is now available with "85hp fuel injected, dual ignition, with high torque version, fan cooled, G-40 gear box". It sounds like some of the small Hirth are not well liked, but there is a bit of a cat fight out there on the web between Rotax and Hirth owners! I am all ears! Thanks your thoughts, Nick Cassara Proto-type Kolbra unpowered
