All Kolbs are noisy. It is a feature of pushers I think. Certainly my Xtra
with the Jabi is markedly noisier than the Eurostar with a Jabi which I had
a share in. That was a tractor, admittedly cowled but like a sewing machine
in comparison.
In fact I saw somewhere that Rutan gave up designing pushers because it was
impossible to get the noise down.

Yup, the dirty air off the wing does not go in 'clean - smooth' to the prop unlike
the air at the top.
Pain in the butt, when trying to fly a VERY fast delta pusher model quietly.
Actually I have had better, er quieter with a laminar section and better flow control
around the root and motor. Also you can move the prop further away, but
your fin will get a tad nervous on your Kolb!

Hello Martin,
I built a MKIII a few years back but sold it to a guy in California. As luck would
have it, He has sold it to a guy here in Portland who is going to pick it
up this weekend. I am sure I could arrange a "sit" for you. We have a monthly
flying club meeting on the first Tuesday of the month at the Bomber Restaurant
in Milwaukee. Most of us fly very light aircraft. Stop on by if you want.

Have you decided on an itinerary yet or any specific areas you are interested in
seeing? I'm sure there are any number of us that would welcome the opportunity
to meet you and even provide a spot to stay.
If you get anywhere near my neck of the woods (www.mountainviewcc.org) let me know and I'd be happy to provide a spot for you to park your gear and we have a spare room.

Kolbers,
I have a Garmin Zumo GPS which is shared on my pickup, cycle and
FireFly. I currently have it mounted on my instrument panel, but it's
difficult to reach and read from where I sit. I was trying to figure
another place to put it, limited to the left side, since I climb in and
out the right side. With the throttle handle on the left, the only
place I can figure would be to attach it to the windshield about 8" from
the bottom. I would bond a piece of plastic on the windshield, maybe 4"
in diameter, to spread out the stress on the plastic. It would be
perfect there from my perspective, but I was wondering about the
windshield's perspective.
Does anyone have any suggestions, cautions, alternate locations, etc.
Also have a question about Matco laydown brakes: there's an air bubble
in the one line and I've never bled brakes like those. Must you
disconnect the master cylinder and lift it out into the open in order to
add brake fluid? I can't really feel any difference between left and
right braking, so maybe I should just leave well enough alone. Input
would be much appreciated.
Thanks,

Dave K/Folks:
I've worn my GPS on my left thigh since day one, 1993, because I had no room
to mount it in the MKIII. I used part of the yoke mount, modified it with a
piece of 2" Velcro that wraps around my leg.
MATCO brakes should be bled from the bleed screw back up through the system
and through each master cylinder and into the recovery container. I use a
loop of 1/4" ID fuel line looped from one master cylinder to the other. The
loop goes up into the nose cone. A few holes are drilled into the top of the
loop to vent to the atmosphere. Clear brake line and clear fuel line allows
one to see if there is air being pumped through the system. I use a small
hand pump oil can and 1/8" ID clear line to connect the pump to the bleed
screw. You may have to position the aircraft to allow air to escape from
the highest point of each part of the brake system. Should have zero air in
the system in order for the brake system to work properly.

Good to hear from you, Thom. I have a smaller Garmin that I use in the
18 wheeler that I attach to the windshield with a suction cup since I
slip seats, and it stays on just fine. My FF windshield has a curvature
and I assumed a suction cup wouldn't stay. I'm going to have to dig my
mount from my gear jammer bag and put it in my flight bag to test it.
Thanks, Thom. Hope it works out!

Hi John,
Leg mounted GPS is kind of out with my Icom on one and kneeboard on the
other.
Maybe I'll find another place for my Icom since I recently bought a
stick mount PTT
to cut down on the noise when I'm transmitting and use your suggestion.
If the
suction cup works out, I'll probably go with that.
Thanks, too, for the bleeding guide. Best to start a job knowing what
you're doing
than fixing mistakes halfway in. So you're pumping fluid from the
bleeder screw
at the wheel back up to the master cylinders, right. The oil can is a
great Idea for
that! Appreciate it, John.

Dave,
Have you done a search on eBay. They have a huge selection of Cell Phone/PDA/GPS
holders.
They come as suction cup style, bean bag weighted ones, clamp ons, etc. Tons to
choose from.
I have one of the chinese suction cup types, with the 8" articulating arm. The
GPS clamp mechanism
is ok, and long arm is ok, too. But the suction cup locking device is typical
chinese crapola.
I think if I were to depend on one of these type of holders (suction cup, bean
bag type) I'd probably
make my own mounting added on to theirs. Probably use a large patch of Velcro
4-6 sq inches
glued to a flatish surface, and somehow attach a mating Velcro plate on their devise.
On the other hand, the "clamp style" is probably the best and most secure. All
you need to
do is make a short tube mount for the thing to clamp on to.
Hey, just throwin' suggestions out there............

Or maybe even something like this:

The point is, there a million types( not really a million, but almost), you just
have to figure out which one works the best in your situation.

Make a bracket and mount it on the stick. Here's how:
Take a piece of tubing about 3" long and the same diameter as the control stick
and split it in half. Spread it open a hair. Weld a 3/16" rod to the top of it
sticking out sideways. Solder that to a piece of copper sheet (from the hobby
shop) that is bent so that the gps fits into it snugly. Angle it so it is easy
to see.
Roll the rubber grip back and slip the half tube into place, wrap it at the top
with a couple wraps of electrical tape, it won't go anywhere. And (Taa-Daa!)
you can poke the gps with your thumb without ever having to take your hand off
the stick.
If you want detailed closeups, let me know, I'll get you some tomorrow.

A people divided by a common language, isn't that what Churchill said?
There was a time when newspaper writing was considered a trade and it was
taught on the job. Then the colleges got hold of it and now journalism
majors are so full of themselves they can't write a decent first sentence
and get in the five W's to save themselves.

| Subject: | Re: GPS in FireFly |
Thanks, Mike. The bottom link is the cradle I use for the Nuvi in the
rig. Works well since there's just a simple plug in back that goes to
the lighter socker. But the Zumo motorcycle GPS has about 16 pins as
part of the cradle that must plug and lock the unit, so I have one
(expensive) cradle in my pickup, one on my cycle and one in my FF. I
have RAM mounts, so I can configure their suction cup in the FF if it
will hang on to the windshield.
Strong gusty winds Tue, rain today, drive 18 wheeler tomorrow, and I was
hoping to fly Sat, but they're calling for 4 - 6" on snow on Sat!!!!!!
Get real, it's still October, right? I guess we'll have more nice days
before the deep freeze...
Thanks again, Mike. I appreciate your suggestions.

Nice setup, Richard, thanks! I'm going to try the simpler way and see
if the RAM suction cup will stay on my windshield, especially since the
entire cradle is necessary with the 16 pins.
BTW, I enjoyed your vids! You land uphill after clearing wires, too,
huh? My strip is pretty steep so you've got to kind of fly into the
hillside because if you try to fly parallel so your wheels are brushing
the top of the blades of grass you'd be taking off again. Takes a bit
of getting used to. Just glad to have a strip with reasonable rent
relatively close to home (and an owner with a hydraulic truck to roll
your hangar/trailer upright again after the hurricane!!).

shop) that is bent so that the gps fits into it snugly. Angle it so it is
easy to see.
