Dont do it. If it will fly get well clear of the ground,do some stalls
to fix a landing speed. 1200 hours in Light planes will not prepare you
for the way a Kolb will lose flying speed when you close the
throttle.There is no inertia like a `normal` plane. She will just stop.
Keep a trickle of power on right down to the ground, inches, not feet
.Hold her off with progressive back stick and she will settle
beautifully.

I know these can be fixex by bending hot or cold. hard landing bent my left strut
3-4 degrees.
Anyone have a procedure for straighting?

They can usually be bent cold in a hydrologic press. If you don't have
access to one you could try a muffler shop. You will have to press it
beyond where you want it to be. When the pressure is released it will flex
back some. If you do it in small increments you can sneak up on it and
not go too far

Quit trying to scare new FF pilots. If one is half a pilot
he probably has enough aptitude to maintain airspeed,
airspeed over altitude.
The FF will not stop if power is retarded, and it does have
inertia, just not as much as a heavier, cleaner aircraft.
The FF is a normal Kolb aircraft.

Hi all,
Just bought a mk3 classic with a 912 uls. The tach reading on the GR EIS reads
about
1/2 the actual RPM , previous owner said it had just started.
It is wired through a kuntzelman hot box. All the info I can find says the pickup
Comes off a trigger coil that terminates at a two pin connecter. I can't find that
Coil, or the 2 pin connector. I've looked in the rotax manuals, ( line maint, operating
instructions
and the heavy maint ). As the problem , I'm told , is likely a dirty connection
, I would
like to run that circuit down and clean up the connections. If anyone could show
me how
to find that coil and connection . Or just advise me on how to proceed I would
sure
thank you.

Subject: | Re: Rudder Trim tabs for MIIIC w/ 912UL |
before I could make an informed answer I think I would need more
information.... I dont know much about your set up. let me tell you about
mine and you may come to an answer on yours,,, or I will try again.... I
fly a mk III C with a 912 ul. I did not use a jig when building wings,
ailerons etc.. but with the engine turning counter clockwise (looking from
the back) the equal and opposite reaction had my plane wanting to roll to
the right. I put on an aileron trim tab to remove the left stick pressure
required to fly hands off. the aileron tab is mounted on the bottom of the
left aileron, and bends down a bit. now the plane is flying hands off.
and as I understand the need for the rudder trim is due to the swirling air
from the prop going past the rudder. when I put on a yaw string, I still
needed right rudder pressure to center things up... so I mounted a rudder
trim tab on the left side of my rudder and the bend is to the left. now
I fly hands off straight and level with the yaw string centered without
pilot input. that is my story and I am sticking to it.....
as I understand, those who use 2 stroke engines,,, the prop spins
clockwise looking from the rear, their planes want to roll left (opposite
reaction to the right turning prop) if your plane wants to roll left with
a counter clockwise rotating prop.... my best guess is that something is
not rigged straight.
does anyone else have a better answer?

he Kolb Quit is real. With all that flat plat drag airspeed bleeds fast whe

my advanced eis - w for the rotax 912 engine says
Tachometer wiring
the best method of sensing engine RPM on the 912 engine is accomplished
using the tachometer trigger coil included in this engine. this trigger
coil has two wires coming from the engine, and they end in a 2 pin socket.
One of these wires should be connected to ground ( the - terminal of the
battery) and the other lead to the tach input of the EIS. since this
signal provides 1 pulse per revolution of the engine, the EMP setting on the
configuration set pages must be set to a value of 1. A 10 K Ohm resistor
( brown black orange gold stripes -- included in the parts pack) can be
installed between the eis tach input and the engine's tachometer output to
provide filtering, This is only necessary if your tachometer readings are
erratic, Normally this resistor is not required.
my eis has 2, 9 pin connectors my tach sensor wire goes in on pin 9 of
the connector which the power, master warning light, oil temp sensor,
coolant temp wires go into... the other 9 pin connector has the exhaust
and cylinder head temps (thermocouples) and oil pressure senders
connected.
I dont know anything about the hot box,,, it may be a junction box wire
in,,,, wire out,,,, connection box... I am not sure if there is any other
electrical magic going on inside the box.
I dont know if by any reason the emp setting on the eis configuration pages
had been changed,,,, or if something in the engine coil has changed.

What may have been overlooked from Malcolm's original post is that he has owned
(and I assume flown some of those 1200 hours) in a Firestar and a MK 2. The
FireFly will be only slightly different in handling on landing than the Firestar.
A hundred hours in other Kolbs prepares one to land a FireFly much better than
thousands of hours in heavier aircraft.
IMO...
Worth what you paid for it.

Subject: | Re: looking for a landing gear strut on on kolb M 3 xtra |
Learn to fly the airplane, no matter what it is.
Without power, engine at idle, try landing the airplane on the ground,
not three feet in the air. This maneuver does not take power to
accomplish and the Kolb, no matter what model, will not fall out of the
air, e.g., "Kolb quit", unless it gets below stall speed. All fixed
wing airplanes quit flying when they get below stall speed. We keep our
Kolbs above stall speed by pushing the nose down, maintaining airspeed
above stall.
Again, learn to fly the airplane.
Your friend should be aware, when he is flying a Kolb, not to try to fly
it like a Cessna. An ATP with 8500 hours, he should know how to fly by
now.
I have been flying Kolbs for 30 years as of this month. I taught myself
to fly fixed wing aircraft, a Kolb Ultrastar, the first of three Kolbs
I built and flew. I still fly my MKIII. My first fixed wing flight was
also my test flight for the Ultrastar. Did pretty good on the first
landing. No "Kolb quit". Not bad for a newbie, but ran out of cow
pasture before I had finished my landing roll (no brakes installed).
These little Kolbs are easy to fly, forgiving, with no real surprises,
unless one quits flying at 3 feet when they are attempting to land.
Kolbs do not stop flying when power is reduced to idle. As a matter of
fact, Kolbs are great fun to fly dead stick. They really handle well.
Makes good practice for the time when the engine stops.

John I have to side wit Pat. I thought he gave Malcolm some sound
advice. The Kolb Quit is real. With all that flat plat drag airspeed
bleeds fast when the throttle is cut. My M3xtra has a single control
stick. I made the mistake of letting my best friend try to land it (an
ATP with 8500 hrs). I warned him the best I could, but at 3 foot he
chopped the power and tried to land it like a Cessna. Airspeed
instantly bled off and we hit hard. I had to replace the right landing
gear. I've found if I carry power till the wheels touch, I never have a
problem.

Quit trying to scare new FF pilots. If one is half a pilot he probably
has enough aptitude to maintain airspeed, airspeed over altitude.
The FF will not stop if power is retarded, and it does have inertia,
just not as much as a heavier, cleaner aircraft. The FF is a normal
Kolb aircraft.
Only thing abnormal about Kolbs is the pilots.

Dont do it. If it will fly get well clear of the ground,do some stalls
to fix a landing speed. 1200 hours in Light planes will not prepare you
for the way a Kolb will lose flying speed when you close the
throttle.There is no inertia like a `normal` plane. She will just stop.
Keep a trickle of power on right down to the ground, inches, not feet
.Hold her off with progressive back stick and she will settle
beautifully.

Subject: | Re: Rudder Trim tabs for MIIIC w/ 912UL |

barbob5742@gmail.com writes:
Really confussef. if your kolb m 3 x wants to fly left why the hell do you

would think would even things out
Hi Barry,
If you are using your right foot to maintain straight flight, that means
your rudder is swinging to the right, which turns your Kolb to the right,
thus making you fly straight. Now install a trim tab on the rudder so you
don't have to use your foot pressure. The trim tab can be mechanically
attached to either side of the rudder, BUT the bend, or off set of the tab, has
to be towards the left (as viewed from the rear of the plane). The trim
tab will then push the rudder to the right which will relieve the foot
pressure you previously used to maintain straight flight.
How much of a bend? Start with 10 or 15 degrees. Test fly and then bend
more or less as needed to get straight flight without using your foot
pressure.
Hope this will help you understand how a trim tab works.
