OOPS! more non Kolb, but it a bit slow anyway...
My wife and I also went in 1979 when the whole way was dirt. We drove this old
Corviar (They use those motors in airplanes right??) and three of my buddies followed
us in a VW bus. He went through a couple of motors and I went through
a couple of trannies. New parts were non existent.
We passed this area. it was a row of signs then, when I saw it in 2006, it was
a city of signs.

Well the runway finally dried out and the wind momentarily quit blowing,
and I ran out of excuses. I rolled the plane out and went out to do some
touch and go'es and I took some videos of the basic AOA indicator, and will
work on organizing them later.
I wanted to find out how much movement there would be from level flight,
Wing at 9 degrees, and stall. I built a vane that was 5 1/2 inches long.
Picture is attachment "aoa 1". I then put a piece of tape on the inside of
the wind screen marked by inches. I located this entire set up on the wrap
around wind screen just in front of my knee, figuring that I could see it
out of my perifial vision while I was checking the ASI. It was visible to
the eye, but not in a very good position to record on a video camera.
Regardless of that I found that the plane flew flat and level at the 9
degree mark that I had put on the screen, and began to burble at a level
that was 1 5/8 from that mark.
The only surprise was that I would rarely on purpose fly the plane that
close to a stall. Of course I have about 655 hours on this plane so it is
no surprise that I have developed defenses against screwing it up.
The things that I learned from this are:
That the plane will be very difficult if not impossible to stall at full
throttle. At least it is very difficult for me to pull it up that much.
That the vane is not a necessity. a piece of yarn would do just as well,
and while not as "swavey" as a lighted AOA, is just as visible.
Because of the design of the Kolb, there is very little time and not enough
inertia for one to fool around when approaching a stall, and be able to
recover before something bad happened. An 11 inch piece of yarn would be
showing 3 1/4 inches approaching burble. The yarn would also eliminate the
problem of some yoyo messing with a metal vane. It would also give you
enough warning that even approaching a stall would be quite obvious.
I was happy to learn that I didn't seem to be all that rusty even though I
haven't flown for several months, and that I still enjoyed it. The tires as
you may remember were secured with some expensive stainless steel 3/4 inch
screws, 12 per tire. I put 6 pounds of pressure in them when I originally
fixed the tires. One of my landings I was paying more attention to the AOA
than landing and I dropped it from about a foot off the ground. The cushion
was quite noticeable and not unpleasant. I am quite pleased and happy that
I did it.

| Subject: | Re: Tire Replacement |
Thanks for all the suggestions and help. I finally got the tires off
with the help of a Harbor Freight mini tire changer. It took a bit but
worked like a charm.
One question though, there was a busted O-Ring inside one of the tires
between the wheel halfs but not the other and I couldn=99t tell
where it went. Any comments or suggestions?

I run tubes in my MKIII. Don't need the o rings in MATCOs with tubes.

I=99m using tubs as well. So perhaps the O-ring was left over
from the previous owner.

When I change motorcycle tires I use the weight of my F250. I lay the tire
under the edge of the truck, somewhere near the middle for convenience. I
have a stout long 4x4 I use for a lever. I put a short 2x4 on the tire,
extending up. The end of the 4x4 goes under the truck frame, the 2x4 gets
pushed down when I push down on the 4x4. You can get 500-700# pressure
easily this way. But you'll have to come here to do it unless you supply
your own truck. :-)
Actually I hinged the short 2x4 to the 4x4 for much easier working, but I
dint wanna confuse anyone.
