Posted: Sun Aug 30, 2015 11:53 am Post subject: Need Photo

I'm looking for one photo of a Kolb that I can use to illustrate an article in Kitplanes. Ideally this will be of a Firestar or one of the other Kolbs with a single strut per wing. The photo should have lots of pixels and ideally will show the whole airplane with the struts clearly obvious. A front view with a non-distracting background would be perfect.



The article will be about the structural analysis of column buckling. Struts are nearly perfect examples of a column that's designed to avoid buckling, and the Kolbs with no jury struts are especially illustrative of the simple idealized case. The article won't reference a Kolb except for this photo and the photo's caption.



You'll get credit for the photo but no payment.



I've got a photo that I like of the FS II I used to own but it doesn't have enough pixels (it has 1632 x 1232 pixels, definitely need considerably more) and I no longer own that airplane, so I can't take another photo. 



Thanks!

Just wanted to say thanks to Mike Welch and Gary Amen, who offered photos. I think the need has been met. I've submitted it to my editor and we'll see.



Thanks very much, Mike and Gary!

David P/Kolbers:



I have a 1992 Kolb MKIII.  Fuselage was built in January

1991.  My plans call for jury struts.  



Wasn't going to put jury struts on the MKIII.  I didn't have

jury struts on my Ultrastar or Firestar.  While working on

my MKIII at the Kolb Aircraft Factory, January 1991,Homer

Kolb asked me to install jury struts.  His reasoning was if

I put them on mine, maybe others would install them on their

MKIII. He even donated streamlined 4130, although the plans

call for 6061 tubing.  Interesting to note, none of the

factory MKIII's ever had jury struts installed.



1 July 2000, I broke the gear leg/axle socket off the left

side of my MKIII while shooting a landing in an extremely

rough gravel (rock) airstrip near Mucho Lake, BC.  The left

wing dropped catching the left lift strut on top of the left

wheel, just about under the jury strut.  No damage to the

lift strut.  Had I not had the jury strut, the lift strut

would have failed by getting knocked out of column and in

compression.



I don't know of anyone else ever installing lift struts on

the MKIII or any other Kolb model.  There may be some out

there, but I haven't run across them.



I'm including some photos of Miss P'fer, with jury struts,

for info only.
