Had a perfect evening to fly, and the video turned out good. This is intended to be a motivational video. If you are thinking about building and flying a Kolb, this is what it is like.



If you are already building a Kolb, and it is not done yet  - then you need to get your rear in gear and get it done so you can be doing this.



If you already have a Kolb and you are not doing this - WHAT IS WRONG WItH YOU?!?!?

Nice video, I wish I had some scenery like that around here.  Is it normally that quiet in your cabin.  It sounds like you could hold a conversation and the engine noise would not be that bad.  In mine it is so loud you can hardly hear yourself think.

All Kolbs are noisy. It is a feature of pushers I think. Certainly my Xtra 

with the Jabi is markedly noisier than the Eurostar with a Jabi which I had 

a share in. That was a tractor, admittedly cowled but like a sewing machine 

in comparison.

In fact I saw somewhere that Rutan gave up designing pushers because it was 

impossible to get the noise down.

Pat,all...



Last weekend I was near Grr International airport and I heard this noise aloft and low and behold it was a Piagio Avanti ,twin pusher flying over and it sound like and pair of (high HP ) Kolbs flying over ..lol   and I think that Rutan artical was in Flying a couple months ago....  just no way to quiet them down....

Its because of the air coming over th wing and hitting the prop, casing slap as in helicopters.

Same problem with models.

Now that is interesting. I had no idea.



 The whup whup sound you get from helicopter blades is also exactly similar 

to a thrown boomerang

Yup, the dirty air off the wing does not go in 'clean - smooth' to the prop unlike the air at the top.

Pain in the butt, when trying to fly a VERY fast delta pusher model quietly.

Actually I have had better, er quieter with a laminar section and better flow control around the root and motor. Also you can move the prop further away, but your fin will get a tad nervous on your Kolb!

Finally figured out how to edit the video so I could add sound to it. Everybody has different musical tastes, but this is how I like it.

PS: the second clip might have you scratching your heads, but  I am just east of Hiltons, Virginia, and the square gray building on the left is the Carter Fold, home place for A.P Carter, and (as you hard core country music fans will know) that is their signature song.

Worked great from here.  Music added a lot to an already entertaining video.

I wouldn't think so, it is an .mpeg-4 video, it ought to open in Windows Media Player.  If you are using Firefox, try Internet Explorer, or Safari?



I set up our MESF club website from my church webpage, and we don't have the bandwidth that Youtube or Vimeo does - give it a while to load and see what happens?



If that don't work - I dunno man, I know some things, but I ain't no guru...

Well - I tried opening it in my older version of Safari - 5.0.5 - and it wouldn't open but asked if I wanted to install an update. I told it yes, and then it opened the video normally. Are you using a Mac?
