I must have stepped on your direct drive toes, SORRY. I'm certainly not a
expert but the sound generated by a shock wave or waves that causes a sonic
boom can occur in the transonic range which is commonly defined as .8 - 1.2
mach. Most people would conclude that the object is supersonic when hearing
the boom even though it might be below the speed of sound. Props don't make
the classic boom rather a very loud roar. I paid $400 for a custom
prop using those same calculations assuming I was well below the speed of
sound only to have more HP turned into sound than thrust. My next door
neighbor standing nose to nose after a very early morning flight would have
been happy to hear that you feel that my prop wasn't going supersonic.
I have flown in a Jabiru powered MKIII and it flew much better than my
direct drive VW but not as well as a reduction drive VW or a Rotax 912.
The point I was trying to make is that a reduction drive allows us to do
many things at once to get the most performance from our airplanes. We can
run our engines at a RPM where they get the most HP. We can select a prop
that is the most efficient in producing thrust for the airframe
configuration. We can also turn the prop at a RPM where HP is most
efficiently turned into thrust.

Hard to imagine, a low & Slow Kolb forum and 'Supersonic' in the same sentence.
When I think supersonic I instantly think Jets !

Not at all. I would prefer a psru on the Jab but the performance is good for low

an issue for me. Just doing the math is all.

Thom R/Gang:
Please do not take my comments as being derogatory or bad mouthing direct
drive powered Kolbs.
Direct drive may be good enough for you because that is how your Sling Shot
is equipped and you have not flown it with any other power. I have
flown/demonstrated, at London, KY; Oshkosh and Lakeland; the first SS with
582, SS's with 80 and 100 horse 912's, but never with a direct drive. I
have flown quite extensively with John W when his Kolbra was powered with a
direct drive Jabiru. I can assure you all, we did a lot of comparative
flying between his Jab and my MKIII with 912ULS. There really was no
comparison. When John W repowered with the 912ULS, it was a complete turn
around. I felt like I had an anchor tied to me and my 912ULS felt very
enemic. More like I was getting half power out of it.
I am not an engineer and I get my results from actually flying the
airplanes. Math doesn't fly for me, but airplanes do. That is the way I do
it and I have probably one of the quickest, best performing MKIII's that I
have come in contact with and I have come in contact with many of them over
the years. The performance figures you quote on your SS should be much
better than what I am getting with my fat, wide body MKIII, and would with a
reduction drive.
Direct drive Kolbs do not do well and have never performed well on any model
Kolb.
We have tried Subaru's, Jabiru's, VW's, 1/2 VW's, and on and on. When
compared to an engine with a reduction drive, there is a marked performance
increase with reduction drives.
Direct drive engines may perform well on other airplanes, but not Kolbs.
I reempahsize, I am not bad mouthing direct drive Kolbs. Simply stating
reality and what works with Kolbs in the real world.

Perhaps you did not see this part of what I said. Go back and look, if you did
not.
"...I would prefer a psru on the Jab..."
I am aware of the advantages of a PSRU and that is why I made above statement.
If I am wrong and you DID see it, then I am confused as to why you would say what
you did. There is no pissing contest here as far as I am concerned. I like
both Jab and Rptax engines and have owned and operated both happily.

Wasn't trying to pee on you or have a contest to see who could pee the
furtherest.
Yes, I did read your entire msg and especially this part, "...I would prefer
a psru on the Jab...".
Perhaps I was trying to inform the members of the Kolb List, and there are a
bunch of them, how many I do not know, of the differences between flying
Kolbs with and without reduction drives. This is not a private conversation
between a couple members, but information for every member of the Kolb List,
especially new folks.
Sorry you took my comments as a pissing contest. That was not my intention.
Again, my opinion and experience, Kolbs do not fly well with direct drive
engines.

I am in Nevada. I will be going East as soon as the weather warms up . . .
maybe spring time, who knows. I will be delivering one plane and picking up
another so far. Show me what you have and a reasonable price so I can add it
to my list. I have room for one or two more planes depending. I will also be

I know this is not Kolb related and wonder how it got snuck in here.
Faith is believing what you know ain't so - Mark Twain
IMO, Mark Twain must have been either listening to a "politician" or an atheist
or an evolutionist. All three propagate what they know "ain't" true...
On the other hand, Kolbers exercise "faith" in the laws of aero-dynamics every
time we fly an airplane... because we know such laws have been proven true. Amazing
that "flight" does not negate the law of gravity, it simply over comes
it by a higher law.
Great to hear about the name of Kolb going back to Kolb Company and back to the
original designs of Mr Kolb.
Have a wonderful New Year all!
