Well, everyone, finally got some news for you. After spending another five
hundred dollars to Aircraft Exhaust, Inc, I received a retrofit muffler
(whatever) for my 912. It sits at a weird angle for some reason, not quite
straight but it seems to do what I wanted. The rum rum vibration is taken
up in the muffler and according to my beautiful wife, sounds deeper and
actually like an aircraft now. I dropped about ten db in the cockpit; is
now very tolerable. It doesnt seem to eat any extra energy from
backpressure and was easy to install. Now, this isnt going to make it
silent as in a tractor style with the muffler in the rear with a long pipe.
I have no cowling to absorb the sound and have the noise of the big blade
but it does definitely help. If I were to order a new exhaust system for a
new 912, I would recommend this set up. I believe it is the T2XQ or similar
at www.aircraftexhaust.net. I had the modification as pictured. I your
pipes are less than two years old, you can get the T2XQ mod but older than
that, you get what is pictured. That so far is the only answer I have for
the foul noise my engine produces. Now, does anyone know EXACTLY what motor
mounts we get when we get the 912 from Kolb factory? I would like to get a
softer mount but have no idea what my are. Is Kolb lurking and alive here?
So far so good. Ted p.s. oh yeah, by the way, this set up is actually
2lbs4oz heavier than the one with the double pipes and sits forward another
eight to ten inches.

Can you let us know where this photo was taken? I think it is useful information
for all of us to identify the location when we post photos.

Bob,
Thanks for another "mediocre" video of beautiful western NY.
Its funny how our minds/bodies react to visual cues. I found myself pushing hard
right rudder during the last half of the video :-).

the photos were taken just to the north and east of brigham city ut.
looking to the west / south west, aprox N 41 32.166 W 111 57.484
my wife took the pictures from the right seat. we took a few more if
anyone is interested... I have reduced the file size down from 1.8 meg
to around 10 to 20 k. to keep the dial up users happy. (me) the
full size pictures are even more stunning.

Bob=2C
Ooooooh! So THAT'S what a Sukuki sounds like!! I thought it was symphon
y music at first. he he
Actually=2C I'm just kidding. I had my GEO engine completely finished an
d running a long time back. But=2C a couple of years ago=2C I did a little
back tracking and decided to add the turbo and a couple of other power mod
s. I'm about 99.9% done with the turbo and mods=2C and within a couple of
days of being able to fire it up again. All I need to do is put the fuel t
anks back in (that were functional)=2C and add some oil and coolant. and re
place the wiring harness.
Before I go too far=2C after running the motor=2C I have to install my pa
nel and gauges=2C so that I can tune in the turbo.
On the airplane progress front=2C I just finished hooking up my newly adj
usted main wings.
With the wings & tailfeathers done=2C my next project is to finish the brak
e lines and some odd & ends interior projects. Then final installation of
all my Lexan pieces (which are all fabbed and ready). The airplane portio
n of my build is getting VERY close to being finished.
One thing I'm especially curious to find out is how quiet my engine's exh
aust system is. As many of you know=2C a turbo greatly reduces an engine's
noise level. Plus=2C I also have a glass pack type muffler just past the
turbo. I'm willing to bet that my engine/turbo/exhaust could be one of the
quietest Kolbs running. It won't be long now before I'll know. We'll se
e........
Thanks=2C Bob

| Subject: | Re: Wachula Fl. ( KCHN) Kolb guys Fly-in |
Hi, Guys,
Sorry I wasn't able to attend the Wachula fly-in. I also incurred some damage returning
from Arcadia. Nothing like a close encounter with a wood stork, (heard
a lot of stories about bird incidents there...). More like a ground event.
It was blowing 15 and gusting to 20 when I landed at Pompano, and no Kolbs were
harmed in the process. However, when I was folding up the plane my luck ran out.
After removing the main pin in the right wing and just beginning to lift it
from the tip for the folding-back part, a gust took it right out of my hands.
It pivoted up and over, held by the U-joint, and landed upside down, forward
part on the main fuselage tube and the wingtip on the ground. The first two false
ribs were pushed in about 1/2 to 3/4 inch about 8 inches back from the leading
edge, and the last rib was also pushed in about the same amount. Got some
rash on the fabric over the ribs too.
Talked to Travis, who offered to send me a new U-joint if I felt there was potential
for having overstressed the joint, but he said they're nearly bullet proof,
and it looks perfect. I'm going to have the A&P look at it and the rib deflection
to see if it passes aerodynamic muster. Will also plan to attend the
fabric seminar at Sun&Fun.
Alas, not flying till we get the annual, with a preliminary check by the A&P on
Tuesday. Guess I've joined the "stupid Kolb tricks" club.
Looks like we'll probably drive to S&F. See ya'll there.
Dave

| Subject: | Re: KAWASAKI 440 C |
The problem I have with this series of engines is that no one can say
when the last one was built...It looks as if the 440 series, A,B and
now C. were surplused in the 1980's by one or more snowmobile
builders...Maybe John Deere for one? Therefore ..even the new 3
hour engine is likely be old... I have two buds who fly behind the
440A...maybe 35 horse power.? and both have had problems.. though I
think , in one case at least, self inflicted..
The 440 B appears to be the same displacement with different
porting to get over 40 hp...the b is thought not to be as reliable
as the A. Now we have a 440 cc engine that puts out 15 more horses
than the 447 and 20 more than the 440A? I would not touch it...
The only support is from a fellow in a north central state.. and
my chats with him were less than confidence instilling...Others like
him.. Herb

Hey everyone, I was dropping by to ask if anyone was heading to Oshkosh this
year (flying mainly).
If you are please add your information to this list so we can try linking
up. Here is a link to my blog with links to the map and instructions on
filling it out.
http://quadcitychallenger.blogspot.com/2010/03/trek-to-oshkosh-2010.html
Feel free to share this with other enthusiasts that fly similar speed
aircraft as the Kolb / Challenger / Quicksilver etc. There is safety in
numbers...
Thanks!

i hope this link works. it is a track of my last couple flights. it
is a aprs (automatic position reporting system) free to use for ham
radio opperators.
i used this system last year and except while i was in a deep canyon it
tracked very nice. i think in the plane it will be better. if i get
the antenna mounted in a better location i am thinking it will be
solid.
