>. He recommend "Stretching" the tires. He told me to increase the air press
for awhile
The down-side to that is that they don't stretch evenly- at least the tires
I tried to stretch which were a different brand. Then you go down the runway

| Subject: | Light Frame Rust |
Hi All,
I have some places on the frame where a some rust stain is showing through the
paint. The paint isn't chipping off and this looks almost like a stain on the
paint. See attached picture. I'm curious about the best way to deal with this.
I'd obviously like to avoid any radical stripping until I'm ready to replace
the fabric which is still in good shape.
Locally I've been told everything from a light sanding and repaint with a rust
resistant paint to treating it with a 'rust converter' and then repaint with an
epoxy based paint. If this has been discussed before I can do a more through
search of the list.
Thanks,
Allan

Allen,
From what I understand, the proper way to deal with "light" rust corrosion is
with a quality
rust converter. There are many brands available.
See:
http://www.corrosion-doctors.org/MetalCoatings/rust-converter.htm
I have seen A&P's use them at annual inspections on rust spots exactly like yours.
The
stuff works extremely well.

To all of my Kolb friends out there. I found a good weather forcast for flying
in Smoky Mountains and off I went this past Memorial Day weekend. Also posted
my Sun-N-Fun trip video. I'm working on my Oshkosh video. Enjoy and see you
all around the MSFF events calendar.

Mark, Denny, Attached is AC-90-89A, "AMATEUR-BUILT AIRCRAFT & ULTRALIGHT
FLIGHT TESTING HANDBOOK."
Not exactly what you asked for, but with this you can determine all the "V"
speeds, calculate take off distances, and fore and aft limits for the CG,
etc.
For first flights, use 45 for Vx (stall speed 37mph + 20%(8 mph)), and 50
mph as pattern and approach speed. The reason for the difference is that
the Mk III, either version, will not do a conventional departure stall. It
will just mush along on the prop.
If the previous owner didn't set a maximum take off weight, start at 1000
lb.and work your way up 50 lb. at a time. I found 1100 lb. was a good upper
limit, although I tested to over 1200 lb. in both models, but control
travel becomes an issue (at 1240 lb. I had less than a half inch between
the stick and the seat frame in the "X").
Hope this helps.
