Subject: | Astro Pneumatics |
About 4 years ago I bought an Astro Pneumatics PR36 pneumatic pop rivet gun.
At the time I bought it specifically for pulling 3/16" stainless steel
rivets. If memory serves it was about $70 at the time (I just came across
the current price at Pegasus Racing and they're $77 now).
Anyway, I was getting ready to make an extended nose piece for pulling some
rivets that were exceptionally close to a flange when I discovered the other
three nose pieces were missing from the bag I keep the riveter in. The next
morning I did a search and found Astro Tools in Mount Airy, NC, got their
service dept on the phone and asked them about replacement nose pieces.
Maybe it was because it was Valentines Day, I don't know, but they sent me
out a new set for free. They didn't even charge for shipping.
So, if you're in the market for a pneumatic riveter, Astro Tool makes a good
one, and they certainly have my thanks.

Subject: | cheap alternative to SPOT |
NOT Kolb specific but may be of interest to Kolbers and other aviators. I'm not
selling or pushing this just thought some might be interested, if they have an
iPhone. If you are not interested, just skip on to the next or flame me, as
you see fit.
A couple days ago I downloaded a free App to my iPhone, called MotionX GPS Lite.
It is the free version of their have-to-pay-for version. Yesterday I tried it
out to see how the tracking and notification service went, not in an airplane
but in my car. It works. The difference between the free version and the oh-so-expensive
version ($3) is the number of tracks and waypoints you can save and
a few other features.
This is what was sent to my email when I told it to do so.

I don't think it is as functional as SPOT but it appears to do all I want it to
do, so I may pop for the expensive $3 version!

=2C for free.
It didn't even cost me the postage.
Great customer service is ALWAYS good advertisement!!! Thanks for the
plug for Astro Pneumatics. We know where to go to get a good riveter!

There is an "event" at Venice Municipal Airport (KVNC) on 26 Feb. They bill it
as an Open House and Fly In.
If I get any more info on it, I'll post.

Well Here is The skinny of me and N213 thursday afternoon I was out flying
when all of a sudden I got a real violent Vibration enough to set the ELT
off it shook the whole airplane this way and it was violent enough to she
d both carbs then I was getting some glider time in, and only one small bo
g covered with 3 feet of snow I was not... in a panic mode at all I ended
up landing 200 yards short and in the woods the mk3 didnt make it but I
got a bruised ankle and a small scratch on the back of my hand, I spent
the day with the FAA and talking to the NTSB and insurance company and th
e rest of the day taking what was left of the airplane apart and out of th
e woods before the airplane pirates could find it
The FAA guy said the propellor was the cause of this situation as far as
he can see, one of the three Warp Drive Blades lost 2/3 of its blade. I
never been fond of Warp drive Props and now I can never change my mind ab
out what I thought of them, im Thinking this could have taken my life or
worse someone elses life, The NTSB wants to take possession of this Prop

The FAA guy said the propellor was the cause of this situation as far as
he can see, one of the three Warp Drive Blades lost 2/3 of its blade. I

ok kolbers..
my toe in numbers are in. this is quite long,,, and if you are not
interested hit delete now.
my starting numbers may not be as accurate as I would have liked them to
be, my measuring technique improved with time. but not with standing
this is what I have.
the camber of both wheels was a neg 3 deg. this was due to the way the
axels were bent at the factory, when the plane was hoisted in the air
the axels were parallel to the ground, and when the weight of the
aircraft was put on them, both wheels went neg, and when I climbed in
with a passenger it went to 4 1/2 deg neg, the tops of the tires were
angled in and the gear looked squatted down.
recent post about toe in had me wondering. and I had quoted what was
in the mkiii construction manual for "toe in". which was "neutral, and
if you have to err, err on the side of toe out."
a while back my son bought a very nice pipe bender. so I had him bring
it over and we did some work on the gear.
my original measurements which may not be as accurate as I would have
liked,, best I knew how at the time, were:
left wheel .70 deg toe in,,, right wheel 1.000 deg toe in
total for both wheels of 1.70 with neg 3 deg camber each side. with
the air pressure in the tires low (6 to 8 psi) it drove around what I
thought was ok... if I pumped the air pressure up to 15 it would dart
across the runway and made it hard to keep the white line between the
tires. so for 600 hours I ran low tire pressure.
I figured if I was going to put in a bit of positive camber, I could
correct the toe in at the same time. so my son and I proceeded to bend
steel. and by varying the bend angle, I could adjust for camber and
toe in at the same time with one bend. what we ended up with was
about 3/4 deg pos camber on the right and 1 deg pos camber on the
other right (left), and the toe in was neutral on both sides,,, I was
quite thrilled, until I took it out for a drive.
from the neutral toe in as I started rolling for take off, the rolling
resistance pulled the gear back till I was in a toe out condition. at
that time the drag on the wheel increased and the gear flexed back till
the tire started sliding, and the gear would spring forward.. it felt
like I was riding a jack hammer. so back to the drawing board.
a friend and I went out this afternoon and started bending some "toe in"
back in the gear. what we ended up with was:
left wheel .78 deg right wheel .70 deg both wheels 1.48 deg...
my goal was 1.5 deg,, I came real close. it was less then my 1.7
I started with,,, I went for a test taxi and it would dart across the
runway,, not as bad as before,,,, and the jack hammer was gone,, I
figured if I lowered the tire pressure it would be ok... but we tried
one more time. this time we only bent 1 gear, and I ended up with
left .52 deg "toe in" and right stayed .7 deg "toe in" total for both
wheels 1.22 deg,,, I increased the camber to 1.5 deg pos camber each
side. with my friend sitting on the side each side would go to neutral
camber. I went for another taxi test,,, the darting across the runway
went from manageable to barely noticeable.. but there was a tiny bit of
shake in the right side when I hit the brakes. I am quite certain that
if I lower the air pressure it will go away. a test for another day. I
ran out of daylight.
from my experience and if I had computerized bending equipment, I would
go with .625 deg toe in per side for 1.25 deg for the combined figure.
or I would redesign the landing gear sockets to make them adjustable.
for "toe in" then you could dial in exactly what you need. I will fly
like this for a while.. but I may experiment again with the tubular
steel, hardened to 48 rockwell.
my gear is the solid tapered spring steel gear legs that the new kolb
company sold for the mark iii. your mileage may vary. the aluminum
gear (i think) would not be as flexable, so less toe in would be
required.
I took a few pictures if any one is interested.. I will have to get
them off the camera, resized and posted.

I thought they were the toughest out there but I just didn't like the idea
of how they
pitch the blades and the design of the Prop Hub on this particular model
Ellery Batchelder Jr.
Ellery B/Kolbers:
What model hub and blades were you flying?
Have you talked to Darryl at Warp Drive?
First time I have heard of a blade seperating on a Warp Drive.
Again, glad you are ok.

I'm just glad to hear that your ok. Insurance can replace the bird so you can fly
again. It does speak volumes on the safety of the design. One of the reasons
I picked a Kolb.

kolbers,,
this is how I calculated the angles for toe in on my mkiii
initial figures were done by hanging a pipe under the fuselage on the
centerline, then hanging a 5 ft pipe along the outside of the wheel,
then measuring from each side to center,, I think this was prone to
more error as the pipe along the wheels could vary in angle by whether
the pipe was on the sidewall or on a raised letter.
subsequent measurements were made after picking the brain of an a&p
I made a piece of wood cut to the diameter of the wheel , and placing a
piece of sheet metal to keep it centered on the rim. then added a side
piece to help hold a carpenter square. then placed the wheel on a grease
plate, (2 pieces of floor tile with a layer of grease between them.
could use alum sheets)
by putting a straight board, or I used a steel angle supported with
sections of 2x8 to hold it at the correct height. and held against the
back of both tires. then used a carpenters square to hold against the
straight angle. and laid it on the wheel bracket.
then holding the square against the back of the block measured the
distance from the edge of the square to the front of the block. or more
specific a spot on the block 5.725 inches from the back edge of the
block. this measurement was chosen because of the ratio between the
measurement and the angle.
if the measurement from the square to the tick mark on the front (left)
side of the block was .052 inches the angle is determined by moving
the dismal 1 space to the right. or .52 deg (I learned this nice
little association with the distance from the square and tick mark at
5.725 inches and angle quite by accident while playing with a spread
sheet,) and it will only work while the angles are very small.
the tangent of the angle = the measurement of the opposite side
divided by the adjacent side. but we know the opposite and adjacent, we
use the inverse tangent function. the inverse tangent function =
the ratio .052/5.725 or TAN-1 power is .52 deg Toe In.
I measured the distance using a caliper depth indicator, on the back
of the block it measured 1.5 inches, or the width of the square, and
the left side measured at the tick mark 1.552 for the difference of
.052 inch.
to measure the camber, place the wood block vertical, and hold the
square on the floor and against the block going vertical.

Great that you made it out. Well I guess I am not going to get a Warp drive either.
I like that Tennessee prop anyway. Too bad they don't make a 3, 4 blader's.

Hello Tom,
When you get around to contacting the FAA please update us on your success in getting
the operating limitations changed. Especially if they actually remove
the wording about flying over congested areas.

received is 10-11 pages long and had the old "can't fly over congested
areas" garbage, along with some other stupid things in it. I've been planning
to get that replaced with the new version but have not gotten around to it yet.
This spring I will call my FSDO and get that done so my flights which over
congested areas won't be illegal.
