Gene,
Thanks for the Ooops! report on your FireFly. Sure am glad you made it down safely.
That could have been a bucket-kicker incident.
Which airfield in Cincy do you fly from? The reason I ask is that I spent much
of my childhood watching airplanes take-off and land at Lunken whenever I could
get my parents to drive me there to watch. I grew up in Clermont County near
Amelia, less than 1 mile from where Sporty's is now located. This was long before
Clermont County airport was built.

Tony, looks like a great flying day! I am heading down under (Sydney)
on business in July, I am hoping to get a day to grab a CFI and rental
plane and do just what you did, fly the Coastline and see AU from a
different perspective. Thanks for the photos. What part of NZ are you
from if you don't mind me asking?

Hi Tony O/Gang:
You're getting ready for winter and we are getting ready for summer.
Beautiful pictures. Wish I could come down, fly with you, and enjoy your
country.
I noticed you had the old 503 cranked up pretty good. Makes them run better
when you keep them blown out.
I noticed your jury struts. First time I have seen them on another Kolb.

Subject: | Cross Country Flying Weather Out West |
Morning Folks:
I usually start watching the weather a week or so before I am ready to head
out on long cross country flights. Decided to take a quick look at what is
happening a week before departure. Noticed Texas was a little windy next
week, then pulled up Clovis, NM, one of my fuel stops:
Monday: Sunny, with a high near 86. Windy, with a west southwest wind 15 to
20 mph increasing to between 35 and 40 mph. Winds could gust as high as 55
mph.
Looking at weather like that makes me want to cancel my flight. Not only is
the wind blowing like mad, it is blowing the wrong way.
During the 2008 flight, John Williamson and I spent three days at Ontario,
Oregon, waiting for the wind to calm a little. It blew steady at 45 mph
with gusts to 55 mph the entire time. Felt strange leaning into the wind
every time we went outside.
Here's hoping for favorable winds out of the SE going, and out of the NW
returning home.
No matter what, we can't change it.

Subject: | Re: 180 turn back to the runway video |
I just finished up the annual on the KXP and took it out for a test flight. Having
read through this thread the other day, I decided to try a whole bunch of
simulated departure engine failures with 180 turns back to the runway. I tried
steep and shallow, delayed and instant reaction to the power failure. The
worst I could do was a shallow turn after waiting for the stall to tell me I needed
to react. This took 400' of altitude.
The best case was instant reaction and a tight turn. This took 100 to 150'.
I couldn't believe it, so I did it 4 or five times. The most I could lose with
the tight turn back was 250' and that only by waiting for the departure stall
with the stick back before initiating recovery and turn. No comparison at all
between shallow and steep turns. The shallow turns took nearly twice the altitude
every time. The KXP is designed to be nimble at these slow speeds and
does the 180 steep turn in 5 to 6 seconds.
I did several 360s and 720s in each direction at minimum controllable airspeed,
trying to force the accelerated stall and just about got dizzy. Just look
down the wing and watch the world go round. I hadn't done these in a while.
What a hoot!

Roger H/Gang:
I agree with Roger's tests.
Kolbs are nimble little flyers. Very difficult to get one into an
accelerated stall.
Easy for a low time Kolb pilot to get one into a mush/stall in level flight
and not realize they are no longer flying because the aircraft remains level
until it smacks the earth.
Very easy to do this on approach to an unfamiliar grass strip. Swear you
were flying when he hit the earth, and can not understand how you tore up
the Kolb so badly!!!
I've been flying these Kolbs for a while and I still use my air speed
indicator to let me know how I stand as far as flying the airplane. I know
what my stall speed is. As long as I stay above it, I'll keep on flying.

Subject: | 912 installation |
Hi guys,
Just wondering if someone could share some pictures of their 912 installation.
How does the cg work out. What size of prop? How far to the mounting face of the
prop flange from the existing rear lord mounts? How much clearance to your
tail boom and your flaps? Are you running a prop extension?
Thanks,
Tony

Jerry, 195 in. lb. comes to mind, but that could be for my Power Fin, too.
WD's web site has the information on page one about half way down.

If you are looking for the Warp prop bolts, it is 175 inch pounds for
the ones to the flange and 120 on the blades.

All,
I have recently purchased a used kolb firestar single place and was
wondering what the clearance should be between the prop and the tail
boom, it has a 377 with a 66" 32 prop. Any info would be appreciated
thanks

On the east coast of the south island. About half way down. 100 mls
south of Christchurch.Enjoy you trip to AU. You will
love the trip up their East coast . The great barrier reef is something
to see. That may be a bit far north for you.
