    Great photos, Gene. Thanks for posting. Can you tell me with some precision where the photo 37/38 was taken? That is an interesting looking place and I think I've been there but don't recall exactly where it is. Perhaps a screen shot of a google map with the point located would be easiest way to relate its location. -------- Thom Riddle Buffalo, NY Kolb Slingshot SS-021 Jabiru 2200A #1574 Tennessee Prop 64x31 War is a cowardly escape from the problems of peace. - Thomas Mann Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=270918#270918

    Bill, Yup, That's the Susquehanna north of Harrisburg Pa. Dennis lives just a fewl miles east of Millersburg Pa. which is right by the river.

    George, You're welcome. Since we never anticipating the response we got from Dennis's good neighbors, Willie regretfully brought no candy along on this trip. But you can be sure the next time there will an energetic candy scramble. What we discovered after we landed on the rural road was the little Amish parochial school just up the road. As you observed, some of Dennis' neighbors though quite "traditional" are also quite "technologically" contemporary, but as far as I know they have not yet utilized any of Dennis's flying machine technology. ; -) Gene On Nov 3, 2009, at 10:34 PM, George Alexander wrote: > > Gene: > Thanks for sharing.

    I,m making a wind screen and need some help. .080 lexan when attatching to a 5/8 tube. Should I use screws with a coushin between the tube and the lexan? Or is it OK to just pop rivet it to the tube? Thanks for any advice FRANK GOODNIGHT FIRESTAR 2 BROWNSVILLE , TX

    I used flathead rivnuts and screws on mine, that way you can replace it with ease, nothing in between and had no cracking or other problems. Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=271044#271044

    Frank, First, make your holes in the screen considerably larger than the diameter of the fastener you intent to use. Second, chamfer the holes you drilled, both sides, to avoid cracks starting to form from the holes. I would use sheet metal screws as fasteners with a washer. You have better control of the tightness. And last, do practice on some scraps first, to get the hang of things. Be happy you have Lexan to work with, for it is a lot more forgiving than in the old Plexiglass days, when cracks showed up even by the next day.

    Subject: Autumn flight in Kansas
    From: Richard Girard <aslsa.rng@gmail.com>
    After the chickens and guineas were loosed, the dog walked, and the second cup of coffee, I hit the hangar determined to get two projects done. One, build a camera mount to go on the top of the left strut and, two, tuft up the left side of the fuselage and go fly around and film the tufts. The camera mount was pretty straight forward, just a couple of pieces of aluminum angle and a few holes. Tufting up the fuselage didn't take long and by the time I had Zulu Delta all fueled and ready it occurred to me that my neighbor, John, had asked me about how the Kolb landed with flaps. Seemed like a great way to get him to take a few pictures so I did a half flap take off and landing then a full flap landing after which I departed the pattern to go see if my first attempt at aerial videography would net me anything. The little Nikon did great although the contrast when the camera was in the shade and I was backlighted was a bit too much to ask. The tuft study was done at airspeeds from 62 to 84 mph and confirmed what I suspected. The sides aft of the pilot on the Mk IIIC are pretty much stagnated or otherwise disturbed. only the most aft tufts showed straight flow going into the prop. In the middle of the panel all the tufts point upward at ever increasing angles as speed increases. Those just behind the widest point of the fuselage are very disturbed. The two upper ones got entangled almost immediately and stayed that way throughout the flight regardless of speed. The most curious was the lowest tuft in the second row aft. It pointed forward no matter the speed while both the ones immediately forward and aft of it were pointing aft and up. Now I have to learn to use Movie Maker so I can cut the video down and add titles for each of the speed ranges. As soon as I have it ready I'll post it on You Tube. Although I didn't film or get any pictures of the second flight of the day. I got the prop extension bolts just after noon and had the extension on in time to make a flight just before sundown. I suspect, given that my tach bouncing problem reappeared, although milder than running the two blade prop, that my next project is going to be a prop balancer. Rick Girard
