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!

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.

All you have to do is attach them to the email and you are good to go.

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.
I would like to see your floats on your plane as there was no real informat
ion on installation when I wanted to put them on mine.
I am hoping to make it down your way before to long.

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.
Ground speed upper right and distance to destination lower right.

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

Subject: | Re: Anti-seize/heat conductant for spark plugs |
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.

Subject: | Re: Pitot tube placement on a Firestar.... |
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?
BTW, I have a static port on each side of the nose but am only connected
to one. I'm going to hook up to both and see if it makes a difference,
especially in the effect buffeting winds have on my ASI, since two ports
effectively average out the pressure on both sides.

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!

Seafoam also puts out a product now that is much better than WD 40 or

Like you every engine I have gets the Seafoam treatment and with the fuels
we have today we need something.
I would like to see your floats on your plane as there was no real

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!

David,
Is there some reason you can't install your pitot in the nose like most
other Kolbs? The location has worked for hundreds of other builder/owners.
No need to re-invent the wheel if you don't have to.

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.

Subject: | I posted some videos. |
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

they've got an AK47 mounted in their control tower which they use to
remove you from it. Gotta be careful.

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.

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.

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).

Those floats and your plane really look nice. Do you have any idea of what
the extra weight will be with the floats?

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.

Boyd,
When I was flying an Allegro 2000 I put a small dab of rtv behind the static ports
to increase the static pressure sensed and it worked well in getting a more
accurate ASI reading. Before it was reading a good bit faster than it should
have.

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).

Thanks for the info. I've talked with Patrick several times over the past year
and he does seem to know his business and seems easy to work with.
I want to get comfortable with the plane on the standard gear first but I'm living

Subject: | drift camera and mount |
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)

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 pro
vide the extra pair of hands (and the brain power) was invaluable
! I purchased these floats second-hand from a fellow in Michigan who had i
nstalled them on a T-Bird. None of the hardware I got from the previous ow
ner was useable on the Mark III and there was no =98Owner=99s M
anual or Installation Instructions=99 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 l
ot about his character. Heck of a nice guy even if he is French and a Libe
ral 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 becau
se it rained like hell all day on Day Two! I estimate it will take me anot
her 2-3 full days to install the cables, controls (for the AMPHIB re-tracts
, etc.) and the nose gear into the forward pod. It=99s definitely a
one-person job and I truly enjoy the building process as much as I enjoy fl
ying.
I can=99t say enough good things about Patrick and his Puddlejumper F
loats. If you are still considering floats, contact Patrick and tell him I
sent ya! (www.puddlejumper.com)

Not here to start a debate on Sea Foam versus Sta-Bil. I found a good pri

I personally use Sea Foam in EVERYTHING I own (diesel pickup, car, boat, la

lly, if it=99s got a gas/diesel engine, it gets Sea Foam at every fil
l-up.
Newegg.com is selling a gallon (128 oz.) of Sea Foam for only $48.34 delive
red 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=99t know
about where you live, but my local Advance Auto Parts sells this stuff lik
e it=99s 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 =98magic p

I am going to take Patrick's advice and fly the Mark III on factory gear
first to work out any 'bugs' that may exist. Then I will re-install the
floats and give it a go. That way I have a 'baseline' to work with.
Good luck on the lake. I can't wait to take-off/land on water.

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. Amazon where I get most of my stuff was even higher, so shop
around.

Subject: | Re: drift camera and mount |
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.
Thanks,
Dave

I am using Movie Maker on a windows 7 computer. It came with the computer.
As far as the reflection goes, just wear dark pants. It won't totally go
away, but it won't be nearly as bad.
