He stayed in Europe for quite some time, flying Sprit around Europe, until he got sick of the attention and went home (yes, on a ship). His plane was crated up and, if I recall correctly, shipped back courtesy of the US Navy. But read his book... the movie was quite accurate, Jimmy Stewart was himself a pilot, but the book is the authoritative source... and required reading for all pilots.

    My 912 oil vent tube goes into a plastic bottle filled with a brass scrubber pad. the vent tube end is about an inch from the bottom of the bottle. A bit of oil will collect in the bottle which I then suck or dump out. Never any oil on the bottom of the plane.

    Subject: Have moved to Tucson, AZ
    All, I have not posted for awhile but do monitor the Kolb list as time permits. I have moved my Kolb Mark 3 Classic (BMW powered) from Mobile, AL to Tucson, AZ due to a job change. Had no problem after following suggestions from the list on how to pack into a 26 foot Penske truck. I did have problems transporting my BMW powered, 3 wheeled vehicle but that is another story. I have attached 2 pictures. I have the airplane wings reattached and am storing it in an RV storage building in Green Valley, AZ. In spite of all the open (desert) area where I am living in the Green Valley - Sahuarita area (15 miles south of Tucson), I am having problems finding a place to keep and fly my airplane without going to a large General Aviation airport about 45 mintues away (south west of Tucson). I found two perfect paved airstrips (Continental in Green Valley, and another one about 10 minutes south on I19) but both are closed with no possibility of using again. I also found a private strip with homes around it about 30 minutes west of me and am trying to see if one of the homeowners will let me share space in their hanger. Anyone have any experience with renting landing rights from a land owner and putting up a small hanger? Are there zoning issues that the county or state may have? Any suggestion would be helpful as I am anxious to get flying again. Tim Warlick BMW powered Kolb mark 3 Classic

    Ralph B., Read about this vent line problem before. Think it was on Rotax site. Routed my oil vent line down thru the bottom of my fuselage. Put a plastic (T) fitting near the end of my vent line before it exited thru the fabric at the bottom with the side leg open to unpressurized air inside the fuselage. This will break any vacuum created by slip stream passing the end of the tube below the aircraft. John Ratcliffe

    They make a after market breather kit for VWs (you would find it in a dune buggy catalog) for less than $30 that I have one installed on my engine. The breather box is a small foam filled vented aluminum box with ports for two valve covers and the main VW breather three total. The ports are installed low in the box so that any captured oil will drain back into the engine. The breather requires no maintenance and keeps oil off my tail feathers. The engine still leaks a very small amount of oil but it doesn't come from the breather like before. Great Planes aircraft and Valley Engineering (my redrive manufacturer) both have oil separators that I have tried but didn't work.

This stuff is nearly clear and looks, feels, and smells like a solvent. Also, any condensation in the engine is dumped out the vent tube. I don't want to restrict this vent to keep my airplane tidy. Therefore, you'll usually find oil/solvent residue on my prop blades, radiator/oil cooler. One way to keep the airplane cleaner is not overfill the oil tank. Burp the crankcase by following the procedure described in the owners manual to insure the oil level is correct. If I overfill, which I routinely do, the first negative G situation I get into pushes oil to the top of the oil tank where crankcase pressure promptly pushes it into the vent tube. That really makes a mess. Normally, it is not a problem if I don't overfill. john h mkIII - Cold and grey at hauck's holler, alabama.

    Pat, I've not tried it but I think/guess/suppose you can do a standard "save as" to get the image onto your computer, after which I assume you can print as you see fit. Like most things in the modern world, to get the official chart you must buy them from approved vendors, many of which can be found on-line. do not archive -------- Thom Riddle Buffalo, NY Kolb Slingshot SS-021 Jabiru 2200A #1574 Tennessee Prop 64x31 We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office. - Aesop Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=276340#276340

    I believe that this is true.. Several years after the flight the Spirit was given to the Smithsonian. They hung it from the ceiling 10 or so feet above the floor. One day years later an elderly gentleman appeared in the Directors office and asked if he could "sit in my airplane for a while"? The museum closed the exhibition room, got a ladder and helped the gentleman up to the cockpit where he sat remembering his flight across the Atlantic. Cool!

    As far as hangars go, check local ordinances about taxes for fixed versus mobile structures. In my county, if it has a hitch, even if it's on a concrete pad, it's a mobile and taxed at a much lower rate. The Port-o-Port hangars are pricey but even the double wide with two hitches passes in most counties. If were to do it again, I'd use one of the Carports of America, or somesuch, buildings tailored to suit and weld a hitch to the frame.

    05dec09 Tim, To the NW of Tucson there's an ultralight field owned and operated by a great guy called H.L.Cooper. Kolb friendly, I met and hung out with Arizona Dave there when he brought is plane in for it's inspection. It's two criss-cross dirt runways and several open sided hanger buildings (more for shade than anything else). On the Phoenix sectional map... V105 from the Tucson VOR runs at 288 degrees magnetic... 24 n.miles from the Tucson VOR, V105 crosses over an air field markerd Taylor PVT. Right nexr to the Talor field is another airfield marked "ultralight"... that's HL's place. He lives on site and he's an AP and CFI... Several years ago his phone number was 520.682.7504. If it doesn't work contact me off line... I know how to track him down... I you call him give'm a big "Aloha Nui" from me. Good Luck...

LeRoy Airport is located in the midd le of the Sulphur Springs valley -----Original Message----- From: fs2kolb@aol.com Sent: Sat, Dec 5, 2009 8:31 pm Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Have moved to Tucson, AZ http://www.leroyaviation.com/ -----Original Message----- From: Mike Welch <mdnanwelch7@hotmail.com> Sent: Sat, Dec 5, 2009 9:15 am Subject: RE: Kolb-List: Have moved to Tucson, AZ Any suggestion would be helpful as I am anxious to get flying again. Tim Warlick BMW powered Kolb mark 3 Classic Tim, Your situation is somewhat similar to what we faced, when I lived in nor th Idaho (Coeur D' Alene). One of our members, Larry Ballard, of the "North Idaho Ultralight Associ ation" ended up buying a 20 acre parcel about 30 minutes out of town. A diferent member, Frank Reed, used his road grader (which I later purchase d) to cut in two crossing runways. To keep his U/L always ready to just jump in and go flying, he had a sim ple pole barn type hangar built. My suggestion, depending on a whole lot of things in your area I'm not very familiar with, is to buy your own vacant land, cut and runway in and erect a hangar, and look for a few other guy in the area to share some co sts with. With real estate prices as low as they've dropped in the last couple of years, this may be a fairly cost effective way to have your own runway.
