Having wiped off the pitot tube twice from my Xtra by getting into long
grass etc I replaced it on top of the nose cone. Just far enough back so
that it wouldn`t get wiped off by someone walking by.
Flew last night and found the ASI reading about 10/15mph slow. 2800 rpm
produced only about 50 mph instead of around 65. Did a couple of stalls
at 2000ft to get some sort of idea and landed OK by guess and by God
with the ASI hovering just below 30mph.
Anyone put their pitots in a different position who can guide me to a
good spot for refitting?

Try halfway along the wing strut>>
Thanks Vince. A quick reply like that had to be aBrit. There is no one
else about at this time in the morning.
Is that just a suggestion or have you tried it? Strikes me as a bit
vulnerable unless you get close to the wing and then there is the
disturbed air. Also the derigging problem, not that I derig mine but
someone will, one day

| Subject: | Spare Prop blade? |
Kolbers,
Last night while backing the Mk-3 into the hanger with my tractor, I
forgot to rotate the prop so that one blade was pointed down, was so
occupied watching the wing tips clearing the doors that the sound of the
straight up prop blade breaking on the door frame caught me completely
by surprise. :-( A John Deere 950 in low range does not give you any
feedback that you are hung up on something.
Anyway, I'll be ordering a new prop blade from Powerfin later today
along with a trailer dolly from harber freight to use to pull the bird
and TEE trailer in and out of the hanger by hand. Funny how the $20
trailer dolly seemed expensive until the $200 prop blade was sacrificed.

Sorry to hear of your prop problem.
I've been running prop blades into the edge of the sheet metal roof on
my hangers since I first pushed the Firestar in its new home. However,
never broke one, probably because I push mine in by hand.
Would it be possible to see a photo of the damaged prop blade?

I have my pitot on top of the nose and it is accurate (gps checked). If I was doing
it again I would try it an inch or so further back as it sometimes gets bent
when it's in my crowded hanger.

I might be stating the obvious but be sure you do a runout check on your prop flange
and inspect your motor mounts for tweaking, etc. while you have the prop
off.
Contrary to popular folklore, the F model blades are NOT weak, especially in terms
of bending-to-failure and you can definitely do damage in such a case.....

Powerfin props have a weight mark on the root end of each blade. When you
order a new blade they will balance to that weight. If you purchase a spare
blade from someone else you aren't likely to get a blade that will balance
which is a bad thing.
Also there was a recent comment about them being noisy. The are quiet till
the tip speeds get to high subsonic. When a prop tip nears supersonic speeds
it will turn a bunch of horse power in to noise. Tapered tips can get closer
to supersonic speeds and still remain fairly quiet. If the prop is noisy it
is turning too high a RPM. Change to a higher reduction ratio or reduce the
length of the prop. Generally speaking a Kolb airplanes like longer props
and slower prop RPMs for best performance.

Denny=2C
Your tractor/prop mishap reminds me of mine. While trying to load my Kol
b MkIII onto a flatbed trailer (in preparation to move out of state)=2C I l
ifted the entire plane up in the air with my Kubota backhoe and set it on t
he trailer. The loaded plane was just too top heavy on the trailer=2C so I
lifted it back off. After untying the plane from my backhoe bucket=2C I t
hought I'd move the tractor out of the way......and then I drove the raised
bucket into the prop blade.
You are right. I can't recall the tractor showing any signs of "give" wh
en it came into contact with the blade. Can't recall any damage to the bac
khoe bucket. Evidently=2C tractors win every battle with airplanes.
I had a mishap once with my Cessna 172 and my 300ZX. I was parked under
the wing=2C with the rear decklid up. I need to move the plane back a few
feet and forget to lower the decklid. Sometimes=2C the airplane wins!!
I ended up mailing my entire prop back to Ivo Prop. They matched me a ne
w blade to my existing two good blades=2C did a thorough balance check on a
ll three=2C and replaced the stainless steel edges on all three. $200 tota
l. Now=2C my prop's good as new. Tractor not allowed within 25'.
Best regards getting it fixed=2C

| Subject: | Prop Extension & 582 stator |
Hi all.
I`ve got a 2.5 inch Ivo Brand prop extension that was used on a 582 &
Warp Drive prop that will go on E-bay soon unless someone wants it & the
bolts for $60. shipped.
I also have a good used stator for a Rotax 582, the only thing is that
the Tach coil doesn`t work, but the rest of it is fine. Contact me
offlist if interested.

| Subject: | I have a Verner 1400 engine in a Mark III I purchased |
Has anyone had a real engine failure that was caused by the design of the
engine, or is the problem like a Chevy vs Ford. (eg Verner vs rotax?)
My engine has 129 hours on it and there is no entry in the logs as having
any problems. I am taking the engine back to the Verner dealer in Florida
and we are going over the engine completely. Any thoughts?

I would like to thank the members that contribute to this list. About a year ago
I decided to learn to fly. I took lessons and bought a Firestar II that was
1500 miles from my home. I took my flying lessons serious because I was planning
to fly the plane home from Missouri to Arizona in July. After I got home I
was looking for a club that could help me to become a better pilot. I found a
local EAA ultralight chapter but they don't fly. I found this board and read the
thoughts and suggestions of the contributors. Almost every time I fly I am
practicing some kind of drill, I think I should, I only have 100 hours in my Firestar.
Last week I saw a post of a guy taxiing on on wheel. I thought I should
be able to control my plane this well. Next time at the airfield I was doing
this in a gusty crosswind. Yesterday I was practicing emergency proceedures.
I was low, slow, banked, power off, with lots of thermal activity. I impacted
the ground at about 50 indicated and full power. The plane left gouges in the
dirt runway. As I got back in the air my passenger (got knows why she wants to
be there when I practice this shit) pointed out that which I already knew, My
left main was severely bent. Climb performance was also a bit low, the motor
would not pull full revs. I said I was not sure how I was going to land this
thing, she replied on one wheel. Well I knew that, I just was not sure if I would
come in as slow as possible or as controlled as possible. I had enough fuel
t fly about 2 more hours until the thermals died down but decided the 10 mph
headwind was a good friend. I buzzed the field to get my friend Greg's attention
as the people at Turf had shut down operations and turned off the radio. Greg
asked how he could help, I said sweep up the pieces. I told Rebeka how I was
going to land. The impact had ripped the brake line from the right main as
well. I said I woould come in a little fast, land on one wheel with the plane
Cross controlled. As I slowed I would further cross control it and fly it on the
ground !
sideways
. As the right main touched I would have to give more left rudder and be ready
for left brake. I came in and the thermals blew me around slightly. After I touched
down I was yawed a little by a thermal. Seconds later all was calm, I lifted
the right wing higher and got more crossed up. I slowed and added more left
aileron and right rudder. At what seemed like 20-25 MPH the right wing fell
and I applied more left rudder. The plane came to rest with the right wingtip
about 1 foot off the ground, no contact. My Ivo prop was all but destroyed from
the gravel the tire kicked up and the left wing looks like it was hit with
a shot gun. My bad choices resulted in a near disaster, my practice resulted in
good landing. I forgot who posted the one wheel taxi video but thank you very
much for doing so. Rebeka has some photos I will post later, by the way, she
was hanging out the left side as much as she could to help, do you now understand
why I call her Ballast?

I don't know Dale, maybe you should change her name from Ballast to Guardian
Angel. Good on ya for pulling off a difficult landing.
