Subject: | Value of the List... |
If you look forward to checking your List email everyday (and a lot of you have
written to say that you do!), then you're probably getting at least $20 or $30
worth of Entertainment from the Lists each year. You'd pay twice that for a
subscription to some
magazine or even a dinner out. Isn't the List worth at least that much to you?
Wouldn't it be great if you could pay that amount and get a well-managed media
source free of advertising, SPAM, and viruses? Come to think of it, you do...
:-)

Happy Turkey Day you turkeys ! :) I hope everyone in the Kolb community had a wonderful
and meaningful day today. We all have something to be thankful for.
Richard, if it is too chilly there, bring your airplane to Los Angeles to test
fly it.... it was only 92 degrees here today!

Happy Thanksgiving to all the Kolbers
and Kolbettes on the list, piddled with the FF a bit today
and then took it flying for about 15 minutes. Had a good
little breeze today, and up to now had only flown it in calm
conditions. Flew good, ailerons are heavy as sin, feels way
heavier than my MKIII, so the next part of the project will
be to change the bellcrank arms for less throw and more
leverage. Otherwise it flew fine.
The 277 now vibrates no more than any
other 2 stroke above 5,000, and it is slightly worse but
still acceptable from 4,500 to 5,000 so will quit worrying
about that.
Also, on the other thread; Bill
Sullivan asked about the effect of the exhaust pipe heating
the wing fabric - now that the outlet is at the front I
could hold my hand at the exhaust outlet and was quite
surprised that at 6" away there is no heat at all. You have
to get to within 2" before it starts to get hot. Wouldn't
have guessed that.
It is supposed to get up to 60
tomorrow, so will rejet it a tad richer and try it again.
The EGT kept flirting with 1200 today, that is a bit too
hot.

Got home this afternoon around 4:30, just enough time to swap in the next bigger
main jet and go for a short hop before sunset. EGT's are ideal, barely nudges
1150 once in a while, the rest of the time stays around 1050-1100.
Lowered the nose and then BRAKKKKKK! Horrific racket from just above and behind
my head, scared the fool out of me! Turned out the gap seal was weakened from
where we cut it to fit the new muffler mount, and now whenever you get it over
50, it flutters. LOUDLY!
Anyway, now that the engine is behaving, I can work on a new gap seal.

Before I let go of my Firestar, I made a gap seal out of a wide piece of flashing,
reinforced with some hardware store aluminum angle. The front was secured
with bolts and nylock nuts through the leading edge tubing extensions. There
was a hinged piece that was cut out to go around the engine, and it could be
flipped forward for fueling.
I had tried using fabric and velcro, but the glue on the velcro slipped out in
the sun.
