I think what John is referring to is the way some email programs adopt a
different font that has been inserted.
-for example, Tiny URL inserts with bold face and anything typed
thereafter will assume the same.
An annoyance to have to resort to some drop down box to adjust.
The best way to avoid is to write the whole message and then stick in
the link. You will be able to place it anywhere
with no changes taking place.
IMO lazy software writers are at blame.

Hi Jason=2C
I already have a prop. I got it long before I installed my turbocharger.
Yeah=2C I check the IvoProp website=2C too. You're right=2C 100HP is at
the upper edge of the U/L model. If I were going to buy one=2C maybe I'd a
im for the medium model=2C but I've had this U/L model Ivoprop for years=2C
and ain'ta 'bout to change it out now.
If the prop can handle 100Hp=2C and my engine will be lucky to make that
much power=2C it's good enough for me. Thanks for the input=2C tho...

A good way to isolate links that works on most email systems is to surround
the link in angle brackets, like this:
<http://www.kolbsport.com/> (keeping it Kolb related, too!)
It also keeps the email system from breaking up long links that take more
than one line.

| Subject: | Mark II Engine run up |
Hi Everyone,
I recently purchased a Kolb MK II with a 503 single carb. It starts and runs
great, but I want to check the jetting and temps before I commit to flying.
It was previously located at a site 2000 feet lower than I am. My question
is what is the best way to secure it to do a full run up? The brakes do not
hold it and even if they did, I'm sure it would nose over before I got to
full throttle.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Duane

You are right it would nose over. Also don't trust wheel chalks. These planes
are too light and will jump over. The best place is through the tail post (steel
weldment in front of the rudder that attaches the 5" tube). So your rope
goes on ether side of the rudder. Removing the wings makes the job easier.
Good luck,
Dave

Suggestion, tie a rope to the u.c high up near the cage. Both sides
and lead the ropes over the tailplanes and back to whatever fixture you
have. Gate post, car fender etc. A rope over the fuse tube at the tail
fixed to a couple of tethering screws in the ground would not come amiss
either.

I need help from someone in the know about what I should use for mold release.
I have attached a picture of the cowling I'm building and want to be sure the
fiberglass layup will release from the plug in picture. I have tried, on a test
piece, some mold release agent but it doesn't seem to work. I have laid up
another practice piece, this time using some car wax on the part. Will see how
it does tomarrow morning.
The cowling plug shown is carved foam covered with bondo to give it a hard
shell. The final covering is two coats of sandable primer. I sure want to make
sure the fiberglass with pop loose from the mold after cure.

I've had good luck using a nylon tow strap I carry in my Nissan 4wd. Put a
double wrap around the tailwheel strut and hook one end. The other end is
hooked to the receiver hitch safety chain hook up on the back of the Nissa
n.
During full power run up the tail will come off the ground and maintain a n
ice level attitude, about the same attitude as experienced in flight.

Rick=2C
Once you've got your plug finished=2C the first coating should be PVA mol
d release. Next=2C you'll want to apply a few layers of carnuba wax=2C or
even better=2C mold release wax purchased for exactly that purpose (which i
s carnuba wax).
Between the layers of wax=2C let them dry properly=2C then buff them out
shiny=2C just like it was your car. After you've got about three layers of
a good wax base=2C apply your gelcoat.
I've got a link for you. Want to learn EVERYTHING you always wanted to k
now about how to fiberglass properly??? Check out this guy. His name is G
erald=2C and is an overall nice guy=2C and very helpful. His company makes
dozens and dozens of the kind of products you'd need to be a fiberglassing
expert.
Here is an eBay ad of one of his products. This eBay ad will leads you t
o DOZENS of "how to" videos from him.
BTW=2C his gelcoat product is especially good. It can be applied with a
high quality foam roller=2C for a top coat type of use.
In my opinion=2C Gerald is the guy for all your fiberglassing application
s. Here a link to just one of his products. It can lead you to the rest o
f them...and the videos.

Loop an auto tow rope around the tailwheel rod and the other end underneath and
around the front wheel of your car (where the weight is). Run up to full power
sitting in the cockpit. The tail will lift and the nose will drop, but won't
hit the ground.

What I have tested with so far is PVA mold release. The directions say to spray
it on in several layers but since my test part is small I just brushed it on,
two layers. Maybe I should try it again by spraying on as directed is several
layers. I would seem if you had enough layers of this mold release on that
the fiberglass would easily come off. I will look at Aircraft Spruce and see
what they have.
Thanks

Rick=2C
The PVA's primary mission is to protect the mother mold from being affect
ed by your layup. The wax is to allow for easy part removal.
The PVA is very water soluble. Once you've removed the finished part=2C
you wash the mother mold with water=2C in order to get back to the pristine
surface.
PVA is NOT meant to act as a part release. Wax is.

Thanks Mike, that makes sense. I have three gallons of PVA release agent. That
should be enough to last me a lifetime. I just ordered the release wax from
Aircraft Spruce. I will do another test on all this when I receive the wax.
