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 Bump Bump Bump. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 08:07:50 AM PST US Subject: Kolb-List: Light Frame Rust From: "Larlaeb" 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.

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. Mike Welch On Aug 22, 2013, at 10:07 AM, Larlaeb wrote: > > Hi All, > I have some places on the frame where a some rust stain is showing through the paint.

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. Dennis Long All Kolb's up to this airplane. Still love them. -------- Dennis Long Oakland TN 2000 Aeroprakt A20 Vista Cruiser Previously Kolb Mark IIIC, 94 Firestar, 84 Ultrastar. 700+hours since 1/1/2009 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=407221#407221 ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 02:00:22 PM PST US Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Mark III POH From: Dennis Rowe Mark, Did you get the info from someone?

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.
