Just for the record, many, many people hear this noise, not just me in the
cabin. It starts on the ground at about 2500 rpm and really makes itself
known by the time you get to 4000. On the ground, in the air, everywhere,
its there. By the time you get to around 4800 or more in the air, you
cannot stand it without the ANR set. Sounds like five o'clock charlie in
the MASH series. Everyone knows it is me from over five miles away. Great
Kolb Airship, fun to fly, will do anything, zoom zoom but -- the nastiest
sound around. end. ted cowan, alabama, slingshot, 912 ul

ted cowan, alabama, slingshot, 912 ul
Ted had his SS at last year's Kolb Homecoming.
When he flew, the noise was loud and easily heard even by a deaf guy.
Sounded just like the noise Ronny Collin's SS was making when powered by a
582 and a 3 blade fast taper Warp Drive Prop. When I flew Ronny's SS the
noise and vibration were very evident. Didn't make much difference what I
did, the noise and vibration remained. It was reduced only when throttle
was retarded.
After I landed I suggested Ronny fly the SS and let me fly his wing to see
if I could see anything abnormal about his SS. We did and I did discover
the fabric on the top inboard rear of the right wing ballooning. Builder
had rib stitched rather than use fabric rivets. The rib stitching was
pulling loose.
Ronny used fabric rivets to repair the right wing and also riveted the left
wing in the same area.
Test flight resulted in harmonic noise and vibration had disappeared, never
to return. This SS was also at the Kolb Homecoming 2008.
Unlike Ted, Ronny had good quality blades.

Yes Quiet.
I have flown in Kolb MKIIIs with a Rotax 503, 582, 912(80hp), 912
(100hp), Jabiru and my VW. The two stroke Rotaxs were open out the back
and my ears are still ringing from them. The overworked air-cooled 503
was far and away the worst on my ears. Fat Albert with the 80hp Rotax,
open cockpit was also noisy and its high RPM engine just gets to you
more. John H. has the 912 100HP and it was the most quiet. It is likely
that his big fuel tank between the engine and your ears tends to dampen
the vibration/noise. My current VW is somewhere close to a open cockpit
912 but the lower frequency is easer to deal with. My VW high mount that
had real soft vibration dampers and it was the most quiet MKIII I have
ever flown in. The Jabiru has a much slower turning engine even slower
than my VW and it would appear that the vibration dampers were well
tuned to stop quite a bit of the noise producing vibrations. The lower
frequency noises produced by the Jabiru are also much easer to filer out
with available ANR headsets. It is a airplane and noise is a normal
condition so yes the Jabiru is a close runner up for the most quiet Kolb
MKIII.
I have been looking for softer vibration dampers (bushing) for my VW but
haven't found anything yet. This appears to be the most noticeable
element in a quiet cockpit. It also reduces the stress on the airframe.

Rick,
??? You know how sensitive the squelch was on the intercom? Well after talking
to David Clark,I was informed that there is a mic gain control on these old headsets.After
removing the foam mic cover
the adjusting screw was visible .A half turn made so much difference I couldn't
believe it.Even take off power can't trip the vox and the cockpit com is much
improved.I'm a happy camper!These headsets are 29 years old!
???? You are gonna take some heat on that Quiet claim,but thanks for the effort!
????????????????????????? G.Aman MK-C Jabiru 2200, now comfortably in touch with
the right seat!

Got a Fly-in. Got kids running around. Got props turning. Those
little rascals and props don't mix well.
Have you ever seen what a kid can do to a $600 prop -me let me tell -
you it ain't pretty and WD ain't gonna
send you a new one when they find out what happened. Don't ask me how I know.
