Subject: | Re: Frustrating posts |
Speaking of Frustrating Posts, I must add my own pet peeve: The resource wasting
quoted quote of the quoted quote. I often wish that Matt would eliminate the
quote attribute entirely in his forums to keep me from drowning in a sea of
blue. The addition of simple quote marks to a few words or sentences should
be more than adequate to clarify meaning in a response to a prior post. There
is NEVER a need to highlight an entire prior post from the same thread. And
when someone quotes the entire quoted response...
And resize the darned pictures too.
Let me just say that both practices are a terrible waste of Matt's precious resources.

Chris Davis - I googled "climbing pulley"
figuring that whatever sort of hardware
rock climbers use ought to be good,
found this: http://www.amazon.com/b?node=3402641
Might be worth a look.

Wow Herb! Nicely done!
I hope it is as nice as it looks. Even if it needs a little TLC, that is a
fantastic deal.
Are you planning on flying it or "flipping" it? I think you told me once
that you used to have a Firefly, right?

Chris Davis last time I knew, climbing ropes were all 9/16 diameter, so climbers
pulleys would be sized for that
Good luck,

Ellington is only about 20 minutes from me. I didn't know a Firefly was over
there. I can't move it for you- vehicle isn't good enough to try. Ellery fetches
aircraft now and then- maybe he would make the run.

Like you, I also wanted a tailwheel that was somewhat beefier that the stock "pizza
cutter" wheel that comes with the Mark-3 kit. I bought a new full-swivel
tailwheel assembly from Rans for about $250, and it uses a 3.5 inch diam solid
rubber wheel. It has worked flawlessly for the past 250 hours of operation
on my Kolb. The Rans unit is designed to attach to a 1-1/4 inch wide steel leaf
spring. But Kolbs use a 3/4 inch diameter solid alum rod instead of a flat
leaf spring. So ...
As John H described, I also had to fabricate an "interface" piece that attaches
to the end of the stock tailwheel strut and fits right into to Rans assembly
where the flat leaf spring would go.
Matco Mfg (in Salt Lake City) also makes a similar tailwheel assembly for $200
that uses a 6-inch pneumatic wheel. It's designed for a flat leaf spring, so
you'd still have to make an interface part to fit on your Mark-3.
Not sure if Kolb Company makes a full-swiveling tailwheel assembly. Anyone know?
Anyway, there ARE options available, if you want to upgrade your tailwheel.

Kolb Aircraft has full swiveling tail wheels.
I flew my first flight to Alaska with a MATCO tail wheel. It was not
satisfactory. I got rid of it as soon as I got home.

The pulley you linked to has a 1 inch diameter roller, the cables last
longer with a larger diameter roller. I know sometimes you are limited by
space limitations.
