I've just purchased a Kolb Firestar / Rotax 503 ULDCDI , I'm putting it
in Winter storage. What is the best protocal for storing the Rotax 503UL
DCDI for five months ?
Thanks

I bought a plane so I could go all 12 months of the year,,, unlike
boating when there was ice on the lake.. the best thing is to use the
plane in the winter and give the engine a good exercise on a regular
basis. short of that,,,,, the fogging oil is a real good alternative.

Good question. No clue. I'll try and get a treasure gauge and check the accuracy
of the eis reading.
Sounds like if it keeps running, and not flooding, it's probably ok.
Any other thoughts? Anyone know a good source of a not too expensive gauge?
Thanks!

Oops! I meant "pressure gauge," not "treasure."
Damn spellcheck...
I already know my Kolb is a treasure!

Subject: | Hoerner wing tip design? |
Hello Folks,
Haven't posted much in the past few years but keep a eye on the list and read almost
daily. I have a MK 3 Classic that I bought from Jeremy Casey about 6 years
ago and worked on for awhile then sort of lost interest. This summer I have
discovered 4 or 5 neighbors within 10 miles or so that are flying that wasn't
a few years ago. I have probably put more hours on my FS II flying with them
this summer than I have put on it the past 3 years combined. This and the fact
that I ran into James Tripp at Ronnie Smith's fly-in has rekindled my desire
to finish the Mark 3. James has a beautiful MK-3 that he has just finished. He
had been flying a Firestar like myself. He has also installed the "Hauck Special"
landing gear as I have done to the MK 3 I have in progress.
Now to my question to the group. I have been doing some reading on Hoerner wing
tips and would like to hear some comments or thoughts about installing these
on the MK 3 Classic. I know that TNK makes some for the Xtra out of fiberglass
but was thinking of building my own out of aluminum tubing as some other Kolb
copy cat kit builder has done. Would this be worth the effort on the Kolb wing?
Would the span need to be reduced any due to the effect the Hoerner tips have
of lengthening the effective span? Here is some information on the web from
another well known STOL aircraft sight about these tips:
"For a long time, Ive said that Hoerner wing tips should be used on most light
aircraft designs, since they increase the effective wing span from 8" to over
one foot without having to carry any additional weight: As we all know, there
is low pressure on top of the wing, and higher pressure on the bottom of the wing,
with the pressure difference creating the lift that allows us to fly. Toward
the tip of the wing, the high pressure feels that there is less pressure on
the top of the wing (just around the tip), and wants to go there to equalize
the pressure, thus creating a secondary flow out toward the tip of the wing.
This secondary outward flow generates a vortex (a circular motion) behind the
wing."
Any and all information or thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks,
John Cooley

Our Midwest Winters are very bitter, I prefer not to fly open Cockpit in them.
I admire the pilots that do.

gauge,,,, you may have to come up with some adapters and a t to put
it in line for the test.

probably not much worse than here in northern ut,,,, guess that is
why I put on the full enclosure and heater. I have gone out when
outside temps hover round 20, 10 when I landed,,,, but days up in
the high 30s and low 40s are much preferred.

Thanks, Boyd.
I'll check. The position of the sensor could also affect the reading. It's about
three feet below the engine.
