We worked from the center out to try and keep stresses to a minimum. There's more
than one way to do this job as you can see from the other responses.

I had a wonderful flight last night. The conditions were perfect, clear, calm an
almost full moon. When the fireworks began, I throttled back to 4600 rpm in
a 35 mph slow decent from 2500 ft. It was like watching from a helicopter. The
display lasted maybe 20 minutes. I was down to 750 ft. I used solar powered sidewalk
lights turned upside down for runway lights, and they worked great. That
was something I'll not soon forget.

Kolbers, ahh, a nice morning at last. Haven't been to a certain
airport (8NK4) to visit the tirekickers so far this summer.
-about time. This time I'll fill BOTH tanks so I can goof off.
Everything running good, went over the carb recently and
removed the useless choke plate and test run ok. Actually has more
RPM now.
What's wrong with that flopped rudder pedal? Broke spring hook.
Bend and reattach. ok, let's go.
Right crosswind but just a burble from the trees at the exit end.
Climb out. Even turned on the GPS and brought a cell phone.
Just about at a reasonable altitude to leave the area, go to pull
back the power a touch and it slows down by itself.....
Not again! Sure hate those unscheduled landings. -RPM regains
normal and I swing back towards home.
Can't figger. Can't be too hot. Oil pressure good. I land and do
some runup with brake. No problem, except for spooked BB.
Not a-goin' to 8NK4
I run it around the neighborhood trying to replicate. Nope. Keeps
running great. HMMMM, I had switched to the left tank.
Haven't used that for a while. My guess is it had a big slug of air
in the hose that caused the float bowl to get a little low.
I'll mow the strip. Got a basket of timothy on the tail wires.

$3k which I figured if the airplane was trash would at least get me a good engine
and prop for a decent price. The ad said "I have all plans and drawings".
When I got it home and had time to dive into it, however, all that was in the
plans tube was a full-size rib sheet. I DO have a well-preserved builder's
manual at least, but that doesn't help too much without the plans. Called the
seller up, he said he actually DOESN'T have the plans but that I could get them
on a CD from The New Kolb. Sounded fishy to me, but I didn't really have any
recourse. So I calls TNK, and they, of course, do NOT have a CD with Twinstar
plans on it, but he said I could for sure get plans from someone on The Kolb
List.

Michael,
The Twinstar can refer to a Mark II with an open cockpit, a Mark II with an enclosed
cockpit or a Mark III. Do you know which kit you bought?

-Forgot to mention, I replaced the fuel line since I last flew and
failed to include both tanks in the test run.

I would be likely to stay over the field and high enough to land power off if my
engine did something like that. You did the smart thing, we fly for fun, and
if there is a doubt about the reliability of your engine, its much better to
test and make sure everything is right before flying cross country.
