Richard,
In my case it is important to look at the option. The numbers look good,
but until it gets into the air I won't really know. Sometimes what is
important is not the end result, but the path followed. If it fails
miserably, I will remount the Victor 1+.
Thank you for the kind words.
I have updated the FireFly homepage to include some description of the MZ
34. It can be viewed at:

<< The cowling plug shown is carved foam >>
Hey, Rick -
What a beautiful shaped cowling (plug)!
Once you've finished making the cowling, I bet that there are some on
this Kolb List who are willing to purchase additional copies from you,
if you are inclined to make more.
As I have zero experience in working with composites/fiberglass, I, for
one, would be happy to pay you a fair price for such a nice-looking
after-market Kolb engine cowl!
I think someone on this List made this same comment (offer) to Uncle
Craig, when he created a custom cowling for his handsome Arizona-motif
Mark-III Xtra, but I don't know if he's made any more than just the one
cowling for his own Kolb. (Are you considering making more, Craig?)
Keep up the good work, and please keep us informed of your progress.

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/> <http://www.kolbsport.com/%3E> (keeping it Kolb related, too!)
It also keeps the email system from breaking up long links that take more
than one line.
-Dana
When the angle brackets are used on the Kolb List (required link to Kolb List),
if
you click the link without removing the angle brackets you'll probably get a page
loading error; at least I do with my email program.

Racing motorsickle guys have a deadman switch, a kill switch to stop the engine
if they should depart from it.
I was just looking at the Youtube video of the pusher-plane at an airshow that
was running around with no pilot, mowing people down like crazy.
Wonder if you tied a string to the sparkplug wire or sumthin, or just used a regler
deadman switch.

Your best bet is to stay in the plane with your finger on the kill
switch, and the stick pulled back enough to keep the plane steady. That
way if something goes bad, you have a chance of some kind of control.
Also if it was me I would tie to the back of a truck or car if that is
all you have, so that if there is any "fod" in the area it will not
scratch your windshield. I would also make sure that what I was tying it
down with would hold up, and was tied securely.

Subject: | Re: Mold release ???? |
Thanks for the kind words Dennis on my cowling, it's really has been quite a project
so far. It's very time consuming but fun. I will have a good usable mold
left for future cowling's but unfortunately this is custom made for this engine
only. It is doubtful it could even be adapted for other VW base engine installs.
The reason is my cooling system is going to be different. The water
cooled heads radiators will be located down below the rear of the fiberglass
seat area. There will be a air intake scoop located there to bring in cooling
air and exit out the back along side the boom tube. Easy cabin heat. That leaves
the simple cooling of the cylinder fins that will be taken care of with
two naca scoops on the top front area of the cowling. The size of the two naca
scoops will start off with a guess therefore the temps will have to monitored
closely. I will have thermocouples on each cylinder to watch things. A lot
of the cylinder heat will be taken off with the water cooled heads and engine
oil. I have been talking to Steve Bennett, of Great Planes, and he is mostly
in agreement with me that this should work. I should have head temps around
180 to 200 degrees F and would like to keep the cylinders no higher than 250.
This shouldn't be a problem since most of the heat is generated in the heads
not the cylinder barrels.
