John keep the "Hauck" posts coming. Your flights encourage those of us that
are building and looking forward to flying.
Technical question: Can anyone send a photo of where and how your seat belts are
attached in the floor area of the MKIIIX? My drawings do not show the seat
belt installation. Do you have them wrapped around a cross-member tube? I
know where the shoulder ones attach, just not sure about the lap belts.

If the post is anything Kolb related I want it on the list. Videos,
pictures, reports of cross country flights, and especially building,
maintaining or any issue dealing with safety and Kolb aircraft. I go to
the archives to get answers for technical questions SO please put DO NOT
ARCHIVE for those things that are more social in nature and I remain a
very happy camper. I agree with John H that the social stuff keeps our
list alive. It adds a sense of comradeship that is beneficial to most
human endeavors this list included. Keep the Archives pure. Use DO NOT
ARCHIVE generously.

i wrapped mine around and attached to the landing gear socket tubes, then looped
them under the cage tube at the bottom of the seat.

This is an old but excellent post. I dont recall seeing the pasted Rotax synch
procedure before. I have seen similar suggestions, just not the Rotax procedure;
what book is it in?. I am running a 503 on a model 2 Kitfox and so far have
not used a manometer. I guess you could say I was using a pencil jig to equal
throttle position at idle, and then at high rpm. The engine has been running
great except I saw somewhere that the EGTs are supposed to be within 40 degrees
of each other. I am usually slightly outside of that window at high rpm. At
low RPM the higher EGT is actually the opposite cylinder, does that make any sense?
I operate at wide open throttle a lot. When I looked at my carbs at WOT,
they were both beyond fully opened, so I dont know what else I could do even
if I put a manometer on it. If they are both open all the way, what else can
be adjusted to balance the EGTs? Comments?

I wouldn't bet the farm on instrumentation found in Kolb Aircraft. They are
by no means precision instruments.

Hi Kolbers:
Just got off the phone with Travis Brown and Brian Milburn, Kolb Aircraft
Company.
We decided to have another Kolb Homecoming this year.
Dates are:
16, 17, 18 November 2012.
Here are the directions to the Kolb Factory whether you come by air or by
land:
http://www.kolbaircraft.com/contactingus.htm
This will not be the same type flyin that The New Kolb Aircraft Company
sponsored through 2009, where all the food and drinks for all meals was free
to the attendees. Like a lot of other folks in today's world, Kolb Aircraft
is a little stretched for funds. We are asking that those that attend drop
a generous donation into the cookie jar that will be available on site, to
help defray expenses for food and drinks for the weekend. It is the only
way we can do this. I assured Travis and Brian that us Kolbers were more
than willing to do our part to pay our own way and enjoy a great Kolb
weekend. I am sure that Homer Kolb will be observing the activities from
above with interest as he did for many years when he attended our past
Homecomings.
Would be nice to get some of you Kolbers that have not attended the Kolb
Homecomings in the past to show up so we can put a face with those names on
the Kolb List. Now's your chance. You have 4 months to plan on attending.

There IS a Kolb group on Facebook. Currently has 52 members, most of whom are
frequent contributors to this (the Kolb Matronics) list.

Jeff,
The slides clear the throttle bore by about 1/4" at full throttle.They can'
t let more air in by going past the bore but they allow the needles to be p
ulled out of the jets to the max,for richest mixture at full load.You can a
djust for closed with slides bottomed with the screws backed out,then do th
e pencil thing to adjust cables to sync off idle movement after turning the
idle speed screws in until they contact the slides.Then just turn the spee
d screws in the same amount for correct idle speed.I could get smooth idle
below 1800rpm without using a manometer.The slow idle speed really shortene
d the landing distance,like having a drag chute on the FS-2

Jim S/Kolbers:
Before I forget again. The Kolb Homecoming is a way for the Kolb Family to
get together, hopefully, at least once a year. However, it is not
exclusively a flyin for Kolbs and Kolb people. I will take this opportunity
to invite everyone who is interested in Kolb Aircraft, Kolb People, and Kolb
History. Doesn't matter if you have an airplane or not, if it is a Kolb or
not. Everyone is welcome in the spirit of the Kolb Family.
We also decided on November for the month of this year's Homecoming. It
will be much better weather then than in the heat of summer. Should be cool
at night and warm during the day, but don't hold me to that. Looking for
some good camping weather. We have had some miserable weather at previous
Kolb Homecomings, but still had a good time.
