YUP. If you try to compensate for a high thrust line (nose down-force) with added
tail weight, you can quickly get into big trouble. When doing modifications,
skipping W & B is not an option.
What was that old saying about tuning 2-cycle racing engines? That they sound
best right before they blow up? Yes, the plane flies better with aft CG but going
too far brings on stability and stall recovery problems. Dont exceed the
aft CG limit.

Pat -
Oooo ... that sounds hauntingly familiar!
Did that in my Mark-3; have no wish to repeat the episode.
Although for me, it was a faulty preflight (unsecured oil cap went thru
the prop), not faulty intel.
Thanks for sharing your wartime anecdotes with us - even if occasionally
stretching the Kolb-related significance.
I enjoy your stories!
Happy New Year -

All,
I've resumed monitoring the list as there's too much good information here and
good folks to ignore it.
John H., whatever problems you have with me and my experience, I'd suggest being
adult about it and take them to PM with me. I won't respond to the comments
anymore on the list.
Plus, to make this Kolb related, I'm still kicking the idea of a Firefly around
as a second plane. But it appears Rotax has quit making the 447, even tho the
distributors are still listing them Rotax themselves don't post it as an engine
they sell anymore.
Anyone know the scoop on this?
Thanks,
LS

Happy New Year -
You too Dennis. i don`t know how deep you went in but this guy threw a
bicycle from where it was lashed to the interplane struts and in sank
beneath the surface.
I know you are just begging to know what a plane was doing with the
bike tied on the wing.
The plane was a Swordfish, a radial engined torpedo bomber with a top
speed of about 90. A biplane with a crew of 3, in 2 open cockpits. The
mission was to insert an Arab sheik and a Frenchman into North Africa as
spies. The bike was for their use. Both of them turned up at the PoW
camp some months later.
The Swordfish was affectionately known as the `Stringbag`. Accent on the
first syllable NOT String Bag`.
The book is `To war in a Stringbag` by Charles Lamb. A fascinating
insight into a very different sort of war than we have now.
Note that the top speed was about that of a flat out, balls to the wall,
Kolb Mk3. Hows that for a Kolb connection?
Cheers
Pat

Douglas Bader (Dogs Body)>
Hi Richard,
no it wasn`t.
Bader was RAF and started the war with no legs. Also I don`t thinkthere is
enough room to put your feet up on the instrument panel in a Spitfire. Bader
was shot down by ground fire attacking ground targets in France. He was a
PoW in `Colditz`. I am surprised that the German visitors do not know
anything about the castles use as a high security camp. Perhaps Americans
don`t either. Anyone interested contact me off list.
The guy in my story was Navy and flew an obsolete torpedo bomber called the
Swordfish. He was wounded after VE day.
Cheers
Pat

Lucien, like a moth returning to the flame? :)
Jack Hart is your source for FF opinions. -at least I would consider him so.
Also, like him, I don't think the FF really needs all the power that the 447 has.
Getting over the trees is good enuf.
I would contemplate one of them too if regulations for experimentals suddenly became
too onerous.

Hey Mike,
Ok, was just wondering if anyone knew offhand. no biggie as I need to order parts
for the upcoming annual on my plane from lockwood and titan so I'll ask at
that time.
Last I spoke to lockwood, they said Rotax intended to support any of the engines
they may discontinue for 10 years. But if the 447 is out of production, I guess
I'd have to make a decision fairly quickly and snap one up before they disappear.
I want a 103 plane and the Firefly looks like it's about at the top of the heap.
The other choice is my beloved fun racer trike, but it has some drawbacks the
Kolb doesn't have....

Ok, sounds good. I live at a high altitude where every engine becomes the model
under it in terms of power (i.e. a 503 is about a 447, my 912uls is about a 912ul,
etc). My 503 powered FSII managed about 300 fpm here before I sold it.
I want to go 103 if I get another plane, I already pay too much in insurance and
annuals on the big one. Can't think of a better option than the firefly overall,
so that's what I'm looking at.

Good to be back.
Yes, the clarification was necessary. I will only accept PM's if you need to discuss
it further. I won't respond on the list and confining my comments here only

I agree that the Kolb Mark III will fly better with an aft CG. I have flown it
at 33% and 28%. It gets busy at 33% in rough weather. Does anyone know the
CG limits? I assume that it is around 25% to 31%.

tumultuous air will reveal weaknesses in balance better than any method. A properly
balanced airplane will
endure a sudden blast upwards with a nice straightforward (level) attitude. I
have flown planes like that.
My MkIII is not so well blessed. I'm speaking, obviously, of a column that uniformly
boosts yer butt upward,
not a little dinky thing like ones that lift one wing independently.
Aside from any other problem with this is the necessity of messing with throttle
settings too much. I'm a lazy pilot
who prefers to just amble along and look out the winders.
What is the consensus? do you end up with your nose down or up?

Those who want to know more about Douglas Bader should check out Paul
Brickhill's bio of him, "Reach For the Sky". Besides the Battle of Britian
stuff, it provides a fascinating insight into the life of an RAF officer
both before and during the war.
There have been a number of books written about Colditz. This was where
the prisoners managed to construct a 2 seat glider to be used in an escape
attempt. The plan was to catapult it off the roof using the weight of a
bathtub full of concrete, but the war ended before it could be used.
Not Kolb related, so do not archive.

Just being silly because there's not much going on:
PM P.M. p.m. = post meridiem. Afternoon. Used to designate the time
between noon and midnight.
No recent flying of my FireStar because of the cold temps. and deep snow,
etc.

| Subject: | Electrical Switch Location |
I'm trying to decide where to put my elec switches on my Mk III. I don't want
to put them on the instrument panel (too far to reach). I like how Steve Green
built a box for switches/fuses/accessories on the floor between his legs. Unfortunately,
that won't work for me because I've got dual controls and the box
would interfere with the control stick. But I'm thinking of mounting something
overhead. Anyone had any experience with that? Thanks in advance for your
ideas.

Thoughts according to Boyd,,,
I am not sure but I think I would remove them before trying, this is why.
When you pass a magnetic field over coils of wire you have a transformer
that will create an electrical current in the instruments, the degausser
will be the transformer primary coil and the instrument the secondary coil.
If the current is sufficient to slam the gages, it may cause internal damage
or change the accuracy, the more sensitive the movement the more chance for
damage. The pressure type gages should be ok, but anything with an
electrical movement may be compromised as the movements work on a magnetic
field. This is my thoughts.
The rest of this info came from a friend at an old tv repair shop.
(maybe should say old friend at a tv shop)
To find out how far away you need to be to not do any damage take an old
crt tv and start the degausser at a 90 deg angle to the set at least 8 ft
away, turn it at the set and as you get closer watch the set until you
see changes in the picture. He said a picture with the most red color
showing would be best. When you are finished go back to the 8 foot area
and then turn it back to 90 deg before turning it off. When degaussing a
tv he mentioned that they were never concerned about destroying the speaker
in the set. And a permanent magnet is very hard to degausse. I asked about
coils in the engine and HE DID NOT THINK it would be a problem. While
degaussing old tv sets he said that he was never concerned with the
proximity of the degausser to his electronic equipment. Ie: oscilloscopes,
signal generators, digital meters. Although there are some coils in these
products the edi currents created have not caused any problems.
He has volunteered to do some test with an analog multi meter and let me
know the results. Also he will check with some of his students that work
at hill AFB and see if they can shed more light on the matter and I will
post to the list.
Hope this helps.. and sorry it took so long to contact my friend.
Boyd
Ok my friend just got back with me. He took an old analog meter and
tested it against an extremely good digital meter using a known voltage
supply with a good voltage regulator. After recording the first set of data
he proceeded to degauss the analog meter with a quote " heavy magnetic
field" multiple times. He then retested the meter against the digital and
known voltage source and could see no differences. From his testing it
is his opinion that degaussing the airframe should cause no damage to analog
or digital devices.
Ok now go back and erase the first paragraph, thoughts according to boyd.
Guess my thoughts were a bit cautious.
