Hello Frank,
I will search for a better picture but the exhaust has been pulled off of the aircraft
already. The exhaust can is nestled under the gearbox with the exhaust
pipe exiting downward on the right side. The cylinders closest to the gearbox
have a very short header before it enters the exhaust can, the cylinders farthest
away from the gear box have the header curve back around under the cylinders
and go back to the can. There are welded in bosses for EGT's in all 4 headers.
The exhaust will only have enough prop clearance if you are using a prop
hub extension. The set up would work very well on any Kolb using a 912 engine
and you would not have the added clutter on top of the engine.
Best Wishes
Jason

| Subject: | Transitioning to the Mk III |
Dennis Kirby, all, For pilots transitioning from GA to a Kolb Mk III I made
this video to help several years ago. Look at how the position of the
horizon on the windscreen changes with flap setting.
Hope this helps.

I agree. I found these videos very helpful during my transition, I probably watched
them 20 or 30 times. I would recommend in my limited experience that you
move to flaps (especially full flaps) only after you have the no-flap landing
down pretty well. I did practice approaches and slow flight with flaps at
altitude which helped. Also it seems to me that the video approaches don't look
as steep as the ones in real life. :)
In addition I've noticed that with additional weight forward (passenger) that
elevator authority is different and changes the flair timing and stick movement
a bit.
Thanks,
Allan

You sure got that right. The Kolbra is a different airplane with a passenger. The
sink rate increases dramatically and the stall is higher. The majority of my
flying these days is carrying my wife who runs the camera from the back seat
(she also is a "back-seat driver"). I flew it solo yesterday and it climbed like
a Firestar. I did six takeoffs and landings and forgot how to land solo. Not
that the landings were poor, but I had to compensate for the lack of weight.

| Subject: | Re: Fwd: BRS for Xtra |
I talked with the Reps at BRS on that subject prior to making my purchase.
I asked for their opinion on the matter. I was told that they put a
rather large margin of safety in their chutes and they said the 1050 would
more than safely carry me down at max gross weight. Not sure what engine
you have on your X-tra. I am running the Jabiru 2200 and did have a
problem. At first I installed the BRS Model VLS. It disrupted the airflow
into my cylinders and my CHT went out of sight. The BRS folks recommend
that I try the 1050 canister model and it worked perfectly. It set right
in the middle and the air flowed right around it into the cylinders. I
will also add that the folks at BRS were great to work with during this
crisis. You will have to modify your center section plexi-glass to slid
around the BRS cable, but it's not too difficult. I can provide photos if
you get serious.

All,
Thanks for the input. I talked to Travis at Kolb about the various systems a
nd ended up buying a 1050 VLS from him which shouldn't be a problem with the
912.. It should be here in a few weeks.
Colin: photos would be great, thanks for the offer.
