NO CHUTE AND NO ROCKET!!! --> Kolb-List message posted by: "John Cooley" Hey Possum, Never did hear the whole story on how your plane got to be a half-breed. Didn't you use to own a Kolb submarine. Is the half-breed made up with some of these parts? What fate did the other plane have that the half-breed is made of?

It is the same gauge that Aircraft Spruce sells for about $70. It cost $125.00 to have it custom made to my length. ========================================== it seems that the prinston electronic fuel sender that wires into the eis or its own gague is about the same price... with the eis you can program a low fuel limit that will light up the master warning light. it will read the fuel on board in tenths of gal. love it boyd ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 01:36:41 PM PST US From: "Mike Pierzina" Subject: Kolb-List: X-tra Tank --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Mike Pierzina" Thanks for the reply..... I was thinking of something more "BELLY HUGGING" and stream line.... I've seen some of those football sized tanks , but they looked like too much drag... --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Jeremy Casey" There was a guy a couple of years ago from Italy that flew a Kitfox around the world. He had a torpedo shaped tank on the bottom of it. Look back threw some of the EAA magazines. Name was Michel Gordilio or something like that...

I've seen some of those football sized tanks , but they looked like too much drag... Mike/Gang: May I make a point? The second thing to hit the ground in a hard landing is the belly of the Kolb, be it Firestar, Firefly, Mark III. What is attached to the belly of the Kolb will get wiped off. Ask me how I know that? The tank Jeremy was referring to was probably much larger than a football. I would estimate 15 gal or larger. Looked like big a$$ rocket hanging under the Kitfox. john h
