I already took a peak at your bike modification on the Savannah. Great idea and well executed. I got all the camping out of my system while I was a youngster in Boy Scouts so I don't do these sorts of x-country adventures but still enjoy others' vicariously through their writing and photos. Good Job! Thanks for sharing. -------- Thom Riddle Buffalo, NY (9G0) Kolb Slingshot SS-021 Jabiru 2200A #1574 Diamond Katana DA20-A1 Rotax 912 F3 Don't worry about old age... it doesn't last very long. - Anonymous Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=384924#384924 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 09:57:32 AM PST US From: "Pat Ladd" Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Re: The spot that doesn't move Common in an airplane too; sorry, couldn't resist>> Yep, sure is but you don`t normally have time to take a bearing while you are flying your plane Cheers Pat ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 03:19:11 PM PST US From: "Lee" Subject: Kolb-List: wing strut flutter Hey everyone, I have been doing some test flights with my newly rebuilt Twinstar MK II.

You can see a very good graphical representation of what's happening here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_K%C3%A1rm%C3%A1n_vortex_street Rick Girard do not archive On Mon, Oct 8, 2012 at 5:18 PM, Lee wrote: > Hey everyone,**** > > I have been doing some test flights with my newly rebuilt Twinstar MK II.* > *** > > I have noticed that I am getting some flutter on the wing struts, It seems > to happen at pretty much all speeds.**** > > Can anyone give me some ideas on this ?**** > > thanks,**** > > Lee..**** > > * > > * > > -- Zulu Delta Mk IIIC Thanks, Homer GBYM It isn't necessary to have relatives in Kansas City in order to be unhappy. - Groucho Marx ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message kolb-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Kolb-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/kolb-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/kolb-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
