I have a right side steel landing gear strut for a Kolb Mk III. I beleve
it is the same as in the Extra although it was used in a classic. It is
1-1/3 in in dia. and hardened 4130 steel.

Yes . It is 1-3/8 " in dia. However, they are not symmetric. There is
about 4.5 degrees of toe in in the one I have. I don't know how you
measured 33 inches, but depending where you measure from on the axle
tube you can see 33". The strut has roughly a 45 degree a bend about 7.5
inches from the axle. I don't remember what I paid for the pair, I'll
have to think about it. Where are you located-Shipping?

I have an aquaintence who is buying a Kolb that has a 503 on it with low
time. The question is concerning the oil injection that is on it. He has
heard some "horror" stories concerning oil injection. I am of the opinion
that it is a good thing to have, but I have no real experience with that
feature. I would appreciate all comments good or bad about this feature, so
that he can make up his mind about whether to leave it on the engine or not.
Thanks for all input,
Larry

Larry,
Had over 700hrs on my oil injected 503,the first 100 hrs on 100LL av gas. It
took 400hrs before the top ring got sticky andI did a decarbon. I loved it a
nd have great faith in the Rotax503 engineering team and their oil injection
system. G. Aman

I decided to try a narrated video like Larry and Boyd. This is my first experiment
with this and while not very exciting, at least it was fun.

Subject: | Re: Oil injection? |
I premixed on my first powered parachute with a 582. I now have oil injection
on my current machine. I asked the same question on another forum and like the
following response best:
The 582's oil mixture is a variable ratio mixture and if you disable the injector
then you will be running the engine oil rich almost all of the time. When your
engine is at idle the oil/fuel ratio is 100:1. When your engine is at full
throttle the injector increases the oil volume to a ratio of 50:1. If you mix
at 50:1 then you run too much oil at all throttle settings other than wide open.
This will cause plugs to prematurely foul and will also cause excessive carbon
build up inside the engine. Some people would rather change plugs more often
and decarb the engine more frequently but my opinion is that the injector
would be better off left alone. Just make certain that when you pre-flight look
at the injector and make sure it is opening when you push the throttle to the
open position. If it does not open then you will run too lean on oil and eventually
burn up the engine, and PLEASE don't ask me how I know that! Let the oil
injector work and do the job it was intended to do.
I hope to be able to fly fixed wing one day. I have a 630 foot strip at my new
property but will need to expand it to 900 feet. I really like PPC but there's
something about these STOL capable, wing foldable, and great visibility planes!

Subject: | Re: Clear Lake Flight Video |
I enjoyed it very much, and I wish that others would show us where they
fly. The narration makes it so much better. The volume was a bit low, even
with headphones, but for a first try I thought it was outstanding.
I would be interested is seeing where your camera is mounted and the type
of camera that you are using. I tried to use a regular Samsung video camera
on my other wing the other day and it was terrible, would not focus, and
even with the stabilizer built into the camera was awful.
Keep it up,
Larry
