Subject: | Re: Aileron trim and a new video |
Hi,
I think that I would go for a properly designed amphib. rather than try to
convert a Kolb. I can`t remember much about the Buccaneer, it was a long ti
me ago but I remember it as a roomy side by side cockpit with easy access
and good visibility. I think it had wing tip floats for stability when anch
ored. They guy I stayed with had a wooden ramp from his land into Lake Wale
s. He kept the plane parked on the ramp and when we were aboard he just too
k off the brake and we trundled backward into the water. There was some qui
ck work with a paddle to float us clear of the trees which surrounded the l
ake. He turned into wind and pulled the starter cord and we gently nosed ou
t into the lake. When the engine is running you gotta go. We did the checks
as we nosed into wind, checked that there were no boats about, opened the
throttle and bounced into the air after quite a short take off run. When we
returned after a few circuits, and a beat up across the lake flat out at a
round ten feet, great fun, we landed and taxied straight out of the water
and up his ramp. Unfortunately the next day we could not get the engine sta
rted and I never solo`d. I remember he had friends arriving by boat and pla
ne from all over the lake , all offering advice, and beer, while we worked
in the shade of a big tree. It was a great day and one of the best `hangar
flying` days I ever had.
The French amphib. I flew was twenty years later. It was designed by a bo
at designer with aeronautical experience. Lots of things were operated by t
oggles and ropes, just like a small sailing dinghy. The rudder retracted by
pulling a toggle. The wheels dropped from their retracted position by pull
ing a toggle. All very boaty. The main difference to the Bucanceer was that
the main pod was cast in plastic not just fabric beefed up with a sole pl
ate. The engine had an electric starter too. Altogether a more up together
outfit but as I said it was at least twenty years later and things had mov
ed on in the microlight world.
I tried to get a flight with a guy who had put a Kolb on floats when I was
down in the Keys at one time. Unfortunately, after a long drive to find him
he had the plane in bits doing some maintenance. It looked as though it wo
uld work OK and I remember seeing Kolbs on floats on you tube at one point
but the drag caused by inflatable floats with little streamlining must have
been tremendous.
I did find a guy down in the Keys who had fitted a weightshift wing and eng
ine to a rubber dinghy but although it looked fun I didn`t fancy it for ser
ious flying.
Your flying area is very attractive. Is the water warm enough to swim in? I
should find it very frustrating if it was like San Francisco, where the wa
ter looks so attractive but you need a diving suit to get in it.
Good luck
Pat

Pat, I have looked at making it an amphibian. The main concerns I have ar
e that with the extra weight and a full tank it pretty much becomes a singl
e place airplane. Also, you need a paved or very smooth grass runway. You
would give up many off field landing areas.

Subject: | Re: Aileron trim and a new video |
Rex,
I missed your point about rough landing fields. Sorry that I cannot help th
ere. As I said, the plane in Lake Wales when we flew it went straight from
a ramp into the water. The next time I saw it, it was for sale at Sun n Fu
n. The French amphib. I flew was from Vance-Meucon airfield to the sea and
back. Vance had a single concrete runway on the edge of the town where the
factory which built the plane was situated so the use of rough fields did n
ot come up. I do remember however that the company was exporting 5 planes t
o a missionary outfit in Africa where I would not expect landing strip to b
e very good.
For what its worth.
Pat

Pat,
We are in Southern Missouri just about 10 miles north of Arkansas. The weather
is warm and the lake temperature can get into the 80's during summer. No problem
swimming.
I have a neighbor (a retired airline pilot) that built an early kolb twinstar
and put floats on it. He and a fellow pilot flew it on the Mississippi river
near St. Louis. The floats were not amphibious. They hauled it back and forth.
This was probably 15/20 years ago. I think he gave me a picture of it. I'll
see if I can scan and attach it.
Rex

..and let you know...If not..betting Bryan can send you a couple of pre cut s

Subject: | Re: Kolb Firestar 1... |
The snowmobile engines had a Ducati electronic ignition ignition with a single
two-lead coil and a 'black box' that could be mounted in various places. It's
a good system. I believe it has an electronic advance built in that makes the
engine idle smoother. I know mine idled a lot smoother when I switched it from
points to this set up.

There is something fascinating about science. One gets such wholesale returns of
conjecture out of such a trifling investment of fact.
