John
Great pictures. The first really shows the tail high attitude of the KOLB.
I have a question for you. I think I noticed you have a microair panel
mounted radio in your Kolbra and I am considering radios for my MK3X. How
do you like it? Have you used the intercom? What kind of headsets do you
use? Any problems communicating to towers?
Thanks

Hello fellow Kolbers,
I have a 1984 Firestar which has a 5 gallon fuel tank on. Last year I did
a cross country trip and the range on 5 gallons for me would be like 55-65 miles,
depending on conditions, and I would like to put more fuel on board so I
can extend my range. My Firestar is fully enclosed and the fuel tank is hanging?sitting
high up on the back, and theres a space underneath it, I had tried
putting a marine outboard 3 gallon fuel tank and it does not fit, but its close.
I was thinking that I would like to be able to add three more gallons as
I figured that I could extend my range to about 100.
Now my question is would it be better to remove the tank in it now and put
a bigger one in or is there any creative way to put another tank in somewhere
that I could pump into the orignal tank after it goes low?
I had posted a message last summer about flying cross country and all the replys
I got really helped me and I now really enjoy flying cross country. So
this is late but I just wanted to say thanks for all the help I get on this list.
Thanks,
Joel Reed

We had one a the club that put a 5 gallon tank behind the sling seat.
It was about 5 or 6 inches thick and rectangle - about 2 ft x 3 ft - and
black in color.
The rear tank fed the seat tank with a turn off valve. You would fly till
the seat tank ran low (sight line) and then turn on the valve and refuel
it from the back tank. Also had quick disconnects so you could remove it to
be legal and hook up the 5 gallon tank in the back.
George (the possum) Murhpy has it now, but he is in Alabama - so
I don't know if they have computers there yet.
PS he's on the list - you might ask him if he remembers where they got it.

This trip is starting to sound tempting. Is there a spare seat
anywhere. I'll buy the gas.

Woody/Gang:
You better believe it is tempting. I figured up
on my fingers and there is still 4 months until
time to go. Maybe we better move it up a month,
forget about Sun and Fun, and do it in April. I'm
getting antsy to go. Checked with my handy dandy
GPS. It is 1,400 miles straight line distance
from here to Kayenta, about 25 miles south of the
Goulding's Lodge.
Kayenta, AZ, has a Navajo Airport, but not
facilities and it is 2 miles SW of town. Don't
think I would want to leave my gear there while I
flitted about the valley. No fuel available at
Keyenta AP either.
Wonder what the temps are in March? :-)

Hi Joel,
I have the same model Firestar and had the same problem. I took the 5 gal
tank out and was able to make one out of alum. that fits in the same space
(without any other changes or modifications) that holds 11 1/2 gal. John H.
is the real pro at this (he put enough fuel aboard his to refuel three F16s
in flight and still fly to Alaska and back nonstop (almost). You may want to
ask him if he has any pictures.
