Subject: | Re: Leaking exhaust manifold |
I found the best way to seal the exhaust was to loosen the head nuts before
doing up the exhaust bolts then retough the heads and barrels . This makes
sure the exhaust ports line up square with the exhaust manifold giving the
best seal.

Some have asked me for photos. Here is a link to some old photos of the Slingshot
before I bought it. The only thing that has changed is in the panel, which
is noted in that photo.

Hey Thom,
Wow, it looks kind of like a suped up firefly or something. I can bet just by looking
at it that it's quite a hot rod. Looks great and glad you're back in the
air again!

Great story Larry. Its probably a good thing you forgot to reset the mixture,
it turned out perfect and given this experience, you probably wont be doing it
again ! A lesson learned with no bad outcome, not a way to go.
As far as the music in your videos, YouTube and Warner Music Group had a nasty
dispute over copyright and could not come to an agreement, so YouTube is forced
to block music that falls under Warner Music Group. Other music companies see
the value of having their music played on YouTube and allow it, so that is
why some music is blocked while other music is not. Here is a list of Artists
that are owned by Warner Music Group, find music that is not on this list and
you will find that it works. Nice videos, glad you got them produced and your
flight ended safely.

Hi John,
took your advice and rerouted the pitot head to the lower part of the
starboard wing strut. Actually fitted it about 3 weeks ago but no
opportunity to fly until last night. Strongish wind so did several runs
in different direction to try and get a mean airspeed reading which was
something like the GPS display. Seems to have worked reasonably well.
Not spot on but good enough for government work. Always fly finals by
the seat of my pants anyway.
Thanks
Pat

Not strictly Kolb but there is a clip on youtube of Chris Saysell pylon
racing in a weightshift. Pretty exciting.
Chris and Rob Grimwood took microlight flexwing title at the World Air
Games in Italy. Another Brit couple took second, beating the opposition
by 20 seconds.
Last weekend was the centenary of Bleriots flight across the Channel
from Calais to Dover. Last weekend there was a re enactment involving
several Bleriot monoplane replicas and 300 microlights. About 170 were
Brits who flew to France on Thursday and Friday and flew back in a
cavalcade on Saturday. The rest were French and Belgians. There was also
a parade of veteran a/c. I drove to Dover for the event and although it
would have been better to have had a grand parade of micros at under a
1000ft flying along the waterfront en masse it was not too bad spaced
out over 2 hours.
The Lancaster from the Battle of Britain Flight did several very low
passes over the field and the town. I also chatted to a Lancaster pilot
who was shot down over Berlin on a Pathfinder mission. He is now well
into his eighties and is trying to get his pilots license again. I
talked to him about the advantages of microlights(ultralights) over
light aircraft and I reckon he will go for it. A game old veteran!
Just thought you might be interested. If you are not there is always the
delete button.
Cheers
Pat

Patrick:
You are a better pilot than me.
I still must use an ASI, primarily when shooting approaches. Helps me keep
a margin of safe airspeed above stall in an environment of air I can not s
ee.
Take care,

I've enjoyed Butter Valley several times, most recently had breaksfast about
three weeks ago. Not my most favorite fly-in eating spot, but better food
then the Dinner at Kutztown.
Any interest in a Fly-in Breakfast before the Summer's over?

Hi Bob,
I have a FireFly at a grass strip on Engler Rd., near Nazareth, PA.
Mostly flying the patch yet, but if the weather ever stabilizes I'll be
dining at Butter Valley, etc. Shame Kutztown has closed!
BTW, did you have an ultralight visible from Rt. 222 a short time back?

Hey Thom, wished you could have dropped in at N38 in Wellsboro, PA. I'm in the
final stages of my Slingshot build. Would've loved to seen your new bird. I need
to look at someone's finished plane. We've got a Fly-in breakfast on Labor
Day. Free pancakes, eggs and ham to any Kolbers. Maybe you'll come down?
