    Subject: Seafoam
    Not here to start a debate on Sea Foam versus Sta-Bil. I found a good price for a gallon of Sea Foam and wanted to share it with any fellow users. I personally use Sea Foam in EVERYTHING I own (diesel pickup, car, boat, lawn mowers, weed-eaters, generators, pressure washer and the Rotax). Basically, if it's got a gas/diesel engine, it gets Sea Foam at every fill-up. Newegg.com is selling a gallon (128 oz.) of Sea Foam for only $48.34 delivered to your door. ($42.35 plus $5.99 flat shipping fee). Buying a gallon works out to be about $6.04 per normal 16-oz. bottle. I don't know about where you live, but my local Advance Auto Parts sells this stuff like it's gold. $11.99 plus tax per 16-oz bottle and I have to drive there to pick it up. I figure this way I get four (4) FREE 16-oz bottles of the 'magic potion' for the price of buying four (4) locally and UPS does the driving! Have a great weekend!

    Thanks, John. I'll get some Raun. Also, thanks for the Rock House trip report. I hope to make a long trip myself when I retire next year. Till then, my better half and I will be taking some trips around Florida, her in the car with camping gear, me in the Kolb, finding fun places in the northern part of the state with the campground as a base of operations for exploring in the Kolb. On another topic, I ocasionally have to bleed my brakes due to a small amount of air accumulating in the left line. I'm running low on the brake fluid that Steve Green supplied me with the aircraft, labeled "Matco brake fluid" so I called Matco and asked about using ATF, and they said that any red, petroleum based ATF is fine. No need to purge whatever red stuff was previously in the system. Ching Ching, another opportunity to save a little money. Thanks for your ideas!

    . Ching Ching, another opportunity to save a little money. Thanks for your ideas! Dave Got an email from Steven Green last night. I know his MKIII is a traveler. He flew with me to Monument Valley, UT, in 2008, I believe. He also did the Outer Banks, NC, flight with us in 2003 (?) when the MKIII was powered with a 582. I'm sure that particular MKIII still has a lot of cross country flights left in it. I got started building and flying Kolbs in 1984, because I did not have any money. I needed something strong, reliable, safe, and inexpensive. In order to save money I had to learn from others and discover my own ways to do things cheaper and better. I still have that same attitude. I think I made a good choice back then. My MKIII continues to be an excellent, safe, reliable aircraft. It does exactly what I want and need in an airplane. john h mkIII Titus, Alabama

    Seafoam also puts out a product now that is much better than WD 40 or Blast er from friends that use it also. Maybe cost a little more than the others but worth it. Like you every engine I have gets the Seafoam treatment and with the fuels we have today we need something.

    This is the first photo I took right after takeoff from Gantt International Airport, Alabama. See how fast you can cruise with a 912ULS on a MKIII. ;-) Too bad that ground speed did not last all the way to the Rock House.

    It was raining hard right after takeoff from home. My first stop was scheduled for Monroe County Airport, Mississippi. I got to within 1 mile of the airport, but visibility was down to zero. My first leg of the Flight West 2012 was from Gantt to Tunica, Mississippi, a 3 hour leg. john h mkIII Titus, Alabama

    From: "Roger Lee" <ssadiver1@yahoo.com>
    Hi Dave, Anti-seize should not be put on 912 plugs and is old school. Even the GA guys around me are switching over and away from anti-seize which has no other redeeming quality in this secario than to lube the threads. It was in a Rotax SB a long time ago and I would have to look, but may be in the maint. manual. The proper chemical is thermal conducting compound, it's a heat sync and it is silicone based. It does a couple of things. Takes up gaps within the threads, lubes the threads, but the number one thing is make the heat between the plugs and heads more even. You can buy this paste at most electronics shops or on line from CPS, Leading Edge or Lockwood. Or here: http://www.cps-parts.com/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=245 The the CTflier.com website under maint. pics and videos there is a good video. When using the paste a little is more. In other words don't glob it on. It will spread with just a little. Keep the paste on the top 2/3 of the threaded area. Any that you get on the electrode tip will cause some mis-firing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgYcUuPZLrs -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az.

    Attached are a few photos of N33040 (was N799AT before special FAA assignment of the Key West zip code) being fitted with 15=92 Puddlejumper Floats. I am currently in the process of installing the nose wheel assembly not shown in these photos. Will upload more pics when the final assembly of the nose wheel, floats, controls and wings are re-fitted. BTW=85 homemade A-Frame hoist in the photos is used to lift the M3C to install/remove the floats and re-install the factory main gear. Takes about =BD hour=85 Have a great weekend! It=92s HOT and HUMID in the Florida Keys and the mosquitoes are HUNGRY this morning! Jack Lockamy Key West, FL 33040

    Experts, I still have a fuzzy understanding of the placement of the pitot tube and the effects of different AOAs. Small GA aircraft commonly have the pitot tube under (and close to) the wing and behind the leading edge. How does this not effect the readings of the instruments when if you put it too close under the nose of a Kolb it does?

    Subject: Seafoam
    Skybiker, Installing the Puddlejumper Floats on the Mark III was not difficult. It especially helps when the CEO of Puddlejumper Floats (Patrick Vinet) agreed to fly from Montreal, Quebec, Canada to Key West (at my expense.) to help me with the install. Having Patrick here to guide me along and provide the extra pair of hands (and the brain power.) was invaluable! I purchased these floats second-hand from a fellow in Michigan who had installed them on a T-Bird. None of the hardware I got from the previous owner was useable on the Mark III and there was no 'Owner's Manual or Installation Instructions' included in the sale. The fact that Patrick was willing to spend the time necessary with me on the phone and with emails (even before I offered him a free trip to Key West) says lot about his character. Heck of a nice guy even if he is French and a Liberal from Canada. J He spent two days traveling to/from Key West and two days here at my home. Luckily we got the floats installed on Day One because it rained like hell all day on Day Two! I estimate it will take me another 2-3 full days to install the cables, controls (for the AMPHIB re-tracts, etc.) and the nose gear into the forward pod. It's definitely a one-person job and I truly enjoy the building process as much as I enjoy flying. I can't say enough good things about Patrick and his Puddlejumper Floats. If you are still considering floats, contact Patrick <mailto:p.vinet@videotron.ca> and tell him I sent ya!

MUCH TOO HOT TO FLY TODAY!!! Smooth air and cool breezes.... someday! Dave Kulp Dave K/Kolbers: I started out with one static port on the side of my nose cone on my original FS. It worked great if I kept the FS perfectly trimmed. Of course, I couldn't do that. So...I would pressurize the system one way and create a vacuum the other. I added another static port on the opposite side and T'd them to the static system. Worked great whether trimmed up in yaw or not. I might add, the static port you use can also create pressure or vacuum depending on the design. Mine were turned out of 6061 aluminum. The port was about 1/16" thick on the side of the nose pod. This created a vacuum and the ASI read high. Honed a little off the forward edge of the 1/16" holes on each port to equalize the system. It worked. My MKIII uses a government surplus Kohlsman pitot/static system designed for PT-17's during WWII. It is nickel plated brass. Was still wrapped in cosmoline and oiled paper when I got it. Think I paid about 10.00 for it from Wag Aero. Thought it would cure my static pressure problems, but it didn't. Static system was pressurizing. To fix that problem I experimented with aluminum tubing connectors with different size bleed holes in them. Flew a to and from course at constant indicated air speed, compared to the GPS ground speed until I got the static system calibrated. That was 20 years ago. Occasionally, I have to recalibrate the system to get it right on the correct indicated airspeed. Works for me and didn't cost anything except a little gas to go fly to calibrate. john h mkIII Titus, Alabama

    Kolb drivers,I In May I got a hat cam to take some videos so those who want can take a ride with me and share the joy. I'm a cinematographer-in-training, so, being my first attempt, the vids aren't perfect yet. But you'll get the idea. They are the beginning and end of two flights. The grass was very high so my takeoff roll was longer than normal and it was a gusty, choppy day, so I was bouncing around quite a bit. No smooth air all day!! The static in my headset from my strobe was driving me nuts on my first flight, just so you can share my frustration. I called Dick Kuntzleman of Kuntzleman Electronics and he gave me some pointers on how to eliminate it. Next time up (next week AFTER the 95 - 100 degree temps!!) I'm going to see how well they work. Here be the links for a ride in my FlagFly.

    It's not the ground, Pat. I fly close to ABE and must remain under their ceiling. Rumor has it that if you intrude in their airspace they've got an AK47 mounted in their control tower which they use to remove you from it. Gotta be careful.

    Subject: altimiter
    dave had the micro tim... i dont know what brand mine is. it is a one needle non precision unit... but it agrees with the blind encoder.. where the gps reads high... if i can lower the pressure in the static system by putting a ramp just before the static hole... i may show a higher altitude. and make it match the gps. boyd. tanks for the kind words and reference to the tail wheel.

    Subject: Pitot tube placement on a Firestar....
    If you are that close to anything that is going to hurt you, like the ground, you should be looking outside the cockpit anyway. Or do you guys do blind flying approaches on instruments? Pat Patrick L/Kolbers: Don't know how you do it in England. Here in the States and Canada we have restricted areas, obstructions, etc. An accurate altimeter helps us stay out of air space we don't belong and keeps me above obstructions, i.e., towers, and highest terrain, as noted on our Sectional Charts. Rather than fly around an airport control zone that is in my route of flight, I check to see how high it is, then climb over. That is what the little blue box indicates on the sectional. Save time and fuel. I have always flown with an accurate altimeter, both in US Army aircraft and my three Kolbs. Normally, I don't fly blind, but at 73 I get closer to it each day. john h mkIII Titus, Alabama

    Subject: Re: Kolb Mark III Classic on Puddlejumper Floats
    Rex, Haven't done a new weight/balance but my guess is a NET GAIN of approx. 60 lbs per float and 15 lbs for the nose wheel, hardware and control cables after removing (and accounting for...) the factory main gear. I purchased a set of fiberglass wingtips from Travis/Brian at Kolb while I am making needed repairs to the damaged right wing tip. Once I have the new wingtips installed, and the cockpit and instrument panel re-arranged for my personal preferences, I will do two, new W/B calculations, one with the floats and one with the factory gear. Patrick and I sat down and ran thru a few sample weight/balance calculations for the float installation and I will be hard pressed to get too forward or too aft of CG with max/min loading if our guesstimates are correct. CG is one of the key reasons you have to mount the main gear legs to the floats/spreader bar at the proper location on the float(s). That is where Patrick came in VERY HANDY to have present during the install. Puddlejumper CUSTOM builds each set of floats they sell. The fact I purchased a used set made for the T-Bird presented mounting challenges you wouldn't have to deal with if you bought a new set from the factory (or another Kolb owner).

    Subject: Re: difference between my altimiter and gps
    Static port placement can have large effects on both airspeed and altitude measurement. Using a port on only one side of the plane can have a big effect, too. Try setting your altimeter to field elevation while sitting on the ground, then fly a low pass over the runway at full speed & check the altimeter during the pass. If it's different by more than your height above the runway, you've got a static port 'issue'. In faster planes like RV's, it's common to see an altitude reading that's 50 feet or more below ground level during a high speed pass. A byproduct is a significantly lower indicated airspeed than reality. The fix on RV's is a 'bump' in the skin at the static port. Another possibility is, I read years ago that non-WAAS GPS's sometimes use an idealized spherical earth model, & local GPS altitudes may be off quite a bit from reality (the earth isn't exactly round).

    Subject: drift camera and mount
    From: Larry Cottrell <lcottrell1020@gmail.com>
    I just purchased and received my new Drift HD Stealth camera. I tried one last week at the beginning of the fly-in, and liked it well enough to order one. I tried it with my old camera mount and had some issues with wave, so I made a new mount that is a lot less flexible. There has been a thread lately about pitot tubes and their location. You will notice that mine is right in the front of the nose cone. I also bought from Aircraft Spruce one that allows you to take the tube out if there are a lot of clutzy people around. I looked but could not find one on their site, but that may just be me. It is a threaded plastic receptical, and I use it to secure my camera mount. I have tried all locations on the Firestar and the nose cone has the least amount of vibration. I have shortened the mount to the shortest that I can and still use the mount. The nice part about the drift is that it has a remote that you can turn the camera on and off, and it has a rechargeable battery that takes almost all the guess work out of using one. I prefer to have my camera out where there is nothing in the field of view but scenery. Lexan really cuts back on the quality of the video and if you are not wearing black there is the ever present reflections. http://vimeo.com/45364866 The password is "owyheeflier" I was looking on the Tachyon site, which was my earlier camera to get an idea of what I wanted to sell that camera for and was very surprised to see that one of the video's that they were using to spur the sales of their cameras was one of mine. So now the videos are private and require a password. concerning calibration of pitot tubes, I have found that the reading can be changed by the angle the end of the tube is cut. Mine is in the front and sticks out about 6 inches. I have one static port (AC spruce) and it is reading as accurate as I have ever been able to get it. The sharper the angle the less it reads. (45- reads low - 20 reads just about right) Larry -- *If you forward this email, or any part of it, please remove my email address before sending.*

    As near as I can figure the Drift HD is a newer version that uses a micro sd card and I think there are some differences with the batteries as well. I know that I wanted the Stealth model. I think it is a bit bigger than the other one. Not sure if its better. I got mine at B&H photo, and they were apparently having a sale and I paid 199.00 The last I looked they were $239.00.

    I will level with you, it is all a pain in the tailfeathers. I may experiment a bit, but I think all the ways that one can restrict access, glitch most of the time. The current password of owyheeflyer is all lower case.

    Subject: Re: drift camera and mount
    Larry, What program do you use to edit your vids? I bought PowerDirector 10 and it had my playback so messed up I had to uninstall and re-install Firefox and Flash Player. Got it smooth again, but am looking for a kinder, gentler program, and I like the way you can stream the text across the screen, something I couldn't find a way to do with PD 10.. Re: the reflection in the windshield, I have a short windshield I bought from Kolb in my hangar/trailer. I ride a motorcycle all year, snow and all, and believe I'd be happier with the short one on the Flag, but between learning exactly to mount it and the apprehension that I may wish I had the larger enclosure back again, I haven't progressed.
