Can't possibly be a dry reservation. Will and I caught a ride from a local who clearly was getting more fuel than his truck. Anyone have a count on aircraft yet? Is Siesta going to make it (I mean Vamoose)? Who has reservations in the hotel and who is camping? I'll bring the libations and perhaps some steaks. Got to get a grip on who's bringing what.

My reservation confirmation came with a brochure which says the restaurant serves non-alcoholic beer and wine. What is the local situation, prohibition, bring your own, what? If alcohol isn't forbidden but not locally available I can load up the Prospector with 800 lbs more or less of vital supplies.

A 750 canister mounted ahead of the 503 is a standard setup I guess, but I recall reading something on the list a while back about cooling problems with a top mounted canister. Can anyone help on this? I couldn't find anything in the archives on it. I would have liked to put a soft pack in the gap seal but I'm really tired of building and just want to fly the thing this year.

Not sure why unless the radiator was between the engine and the BRS. I have a canister mounted in front of my 503 powered Firestar and have never even been close to having a cooling problem. I also had a Twinstar with canister mounted in front of the 503 that didn't have a problem. BRS makes a mount especially for the Firestar to fit in front of the engine. I don't believe you will have any problems. Later, John Cooley > --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Terry Davis" > > I'm to the point where I have to get going on a BRS for my Firestar.

The only problem I had was that the mount was designed to be used without the oil injection, hit the mount. I modified the mount moving it forward with the help of BRS. I guess mine was the first application with the oil injection, think they have fixed the mount by now (mine is a 97 model) No cooling problems at all. They also had to send me a longer cable for the pull handle because I wanted mine mounted by the throttle. They did it at no charge. Works great to rest my arm on.

In fact, he sent me one. I'll let him tell you how his system works or you can go to the archives and do a search for his post of a year or so ago. Take care, john h when i first built i had a bit of a roll problem.... to solve it i took the universal joint fitting that fits over the 1/2 inch bolt and had a friend with a mig welder close off part of the 1/2 inch hole and i used a file and removed some of the metal on the other side of the hole.... when i rebuilt i bought new fittings and installed a trim tab. boyd ________________________________ Message 9 _____________________________________ Time: 06:04:35 PM PST US From: "Larry Bourne" Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Monument Valley --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Larry Bourne" It's good that you admitted you gotta get a grip. That's progress. :-) It'll be good to see you again, too............I think. What is this "steaks" stuff ?? Real campers eat beans - America needs the gas. BTW, and seriously - Goulding's is in Utah, which has the goofiest alcohol laws outside of Islam, and many reservations are VERY tight on alcohol, as well. If you do bring "refreshments," be discreet with them. Their website says they're *adjacent* to the tribal area, so who knows ??..............and I'm not sure if Possum's neat tricks would work with THOSE cops. No sense of humor there, at all.
