    Subject: Panama City Beach Run
    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Gene D." <gdledbetter@earthlink.net> Florida Kolbers, I pulled my Trailer and Firefly to Panacea again and have already enjoyed the pleasure of flying with Duane The Plane 3 days this week. Had a heck of a problem getting the trailer out of the lower level parking spot at my airport with all of the rain we had been having. Hooked up and just spun the wheels.. Threw lots of mud. Weather finally got cold enough to freeze the ground so I could get the trailer out. Had to taxi the firefly a couple of blocks to the trailer so decided to take it around the patch at 18F. Boy, it jumped into the air and the engine pulled strong but hot since I didn't bother to adjust the mixture a notch or two. Wondered if anyone might be trying to make a beach run this year from Panama City to Panacea as has been done in the past. Last year the run was rained out two weekends in a row and didn't happen. I'll only be here a month this year since I need to be at home to help my honey plan the wedding. Old love is better than young love. Take my word for it. Gene

Do you have any pics with Vamoose's wings unfolded out in the open? Bob Dalton (do not archive) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Larry Bourne" <biglar@gogittum.com> Subject: Kolb-List: Vamoose > --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Larry Bourne" <biglar@gogittum.com> > > Today, I finally brought Vamoose home after 4 months of being jerked around, so now might even get something accomplished. The new landing gear looks great, but the A&P really ripped me off on the price..............double what was expected. You can see it at: http://www.flyingpics.homestead.com/gear1.html . Now, just gotta paint it. I had planned on powder coating, but Tom Kuffel raised the question of flexing. Before checking on that, I called the heat treating shop, and they told me NOT to powder coat the legs. Anything over 300 deg. F., will start to degrade the R48 hardness rating (they guarantee R46-48)...............and THAT is a real romper room no-no. So, I guess it'll be a spray can chance. Another thing - several people have expressed an interest in going on the next whale watching trip to Guerrero Negro, Baja California, Mexico with me. I've arranged for time off, starting on Feb. 9, and I plan on a 6 day trip. 2 days each way, 1 day (2 trip! > s) on the boats, and 1 day up in the mountains. From Palm Springs, it's about 650 miles each way - 500 miles below the border at Tecate. The 1st day going south will be pretty intense; the 2nd, more leisurely. Those who'd like to caravan down there, please let me know off List. Sorry for the late call, it's been extremely busy, and time kinda got away from me. Thanks. Lar. Do not Archive. > > P.S. I've given some thought to flying down there in a year or so, but it's a tough call. People who've done it say it's a terrific experience.............but then again, you hear some pretty bad stories too. I dunno. I do know it's a fantastic drive. The scenery down the spine of the Baja, from San Quintin on down is really something. Lar. > > Larry Bourne > Palm Springs, CA > Building Kolb Mk III > N78LB Vamoose > www.gogittum.com > >

    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Larry Bourne" <biglar@gogittum.com> I'll send you a couple of so-so pics that I have with the old gear and the wings open off-List. Today, I'll take some with the new gear, and out in the open, then post them in my website. The big problem right now is figuring out where to put it. The boat is in Vamoose' old spot, and all the snowbirds are in town, so there's no vacant spaces. The boat is secure here, but the motor would disappear quickly if I move it to the open storage area. Vamoose is secure in the trailer, but it would be extremely awkward to work on it, pulling it in and out. Gonna hafta get creative fast. Lar. Do not Archive.

    Subject: Re: Vamoose
    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Larry Bourne" <biglar@gogittum.com> Looking at this pic again, and another question comes to mind. I mentioned quite a while ago that the windshield had been sandblasted while sitting in my driveway. I polished it out 3 times by hand, and got it to where you can see thru it, but it's still a little foggy, as you can see in the picture on the webpage below. Sight thru the lexan on the top 1/3. If I go very gently with the power random orbit sander with a fleece cup cover, and the Novus #2 that I used in my previous efforts, do you think that'll hurt the lexan ?? Thanks Lar.

Anyone know of a good hand pump that will tranfer fuel from a five gal tank? I'm trying to avoid an electric pump. Thanks guys. Bill in Colorado Bill E/Gang: I have posted this several times before. I use about six feet of vinyl tubing pushed over the spout of the gas can. The tubing is long enough to put one end in the tank first, then attach the other end to the spout. Pick the gas can up and fuel will transfer very rapidly. I use this system to refuel the filler on top and aft on the gap seal. Works great. I'm pushing 65 and can still handle the 5 gal cans ok. I figure if I get to the point where I can't hold 5 gal of gas over my head to refuel, I'll go to 2.5 gal. No sweat. Price is the cost of the vinyl tubing, or for that matter, any other tubing that will have a nice snug fit over the end of the pour spout. I like the vinyl because it is clear and I can see what's happening. Take care, john h

    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Fackler, Ken" <kfackler@ameritech.net> I hear you loud and clear on this one, Bill! I was hoisting five gallons cans over my head until last summer when I tore a muscle in my lower back doing that. I tried all sorts of solutions, and got many suggestions from the list. What I finally did was to order a 28 gal Gas Caddy with the hand-operated Rotary Pump. It's on wheels, and fuel feed hose is about 10 feet long, so I just wheel that sucker up behind my plane, insert the fuel nozzle, and twirl that crank. I particularly like that the pump is high-flow, approx 10 turns per gallon, and that it's a two-way pump, i.e., you can run it backwards to suck the fuel out if need be. The unit is UL approved. http://www.toddusa.com/index.html The website above is to the supplier I bought it from. The picture on the far right is the actual item. Click on the text just above that picture to go to their online catalog. I don't wanna sound like a commercial, but I've been very happy with this unit -and- the customer service provided by the company. -Ken Fackler (248) 601-0566 Kolb Mark II / A722KWF Rochester MI ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill Elder" <billelder@denver.net> Subject: Kolb-List: Hand Pump for Fueling > --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Bill Elder" <billelder@denver.net> > > It's very difficult and awkward for me to fill the fuel tanks on my Mark III Classic with the standard 5 gal fuel tanks.

(don't send anything to me about old gas, I know about the loss of octane and all that stuff) I have a truck come and fill a 55 gal. barrel. I have a barrel pump that I got at harbor freight tools. it is the best way I found to do this. lots of people at my air field do it like this and have been doing it for a long time (10 years or more) ps. I get 92 octane fuel, alcohol free. 92 octane is not the point, alcohol free is.

Seems like you have all the answers, so I have a question. Is there any problem with fuel/oil seperation, should this 50 gal of fuel and gal of oil sit for an extended period of time, like and month or so? Thanks, john h BTW: What is your real name?

    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "flykolb" <flykolb@carolina.rr.com> Bill, I bought a self priming hose from NAPA or Northern Tools (under $10) and a four foot aluminum ladder from Lowe's (also about $10). I put my 5 gal gas can on the ladder, get the gas flowing and in a matter of minutes the fuel is transferred. This way I do not have to hold the 5 gal of gas or pour it. Works great and I can take the hose with me when I fly cross country. Then I just put one foot on the tire of the plane, rest the gas can on my knee, and it works the same way.

    Subject: Re: Altimeter
    --> Kolb-List message posted by: Richard Pike <rwpike@charter.net> Wouldn't hurt it a bit, it is not rocket science. Probably a small length of brass tubing from the hobby shop and a little JB Weld... There is an instrument repair facility in Atlanta, don't remember the name, but they could fix if you can't cob something that works.

    Subject: Sun and Fun Accamodations
    --> Kolb-List message posted by: Hello List members. A few of my friends from the ultralight club up here in Iceland, mostly Kolb pilots, are seriously thinking about attending the Sun and Fun airshow this year. Do any of you Floridians or Sun and Fun regulars know of a good place to stay around Lakeland. (within approx. 50nm radius) Nothing fancy but clean and with aircondition. Look forward to your reply and april. Best regards, Johann G. Iceland. Do not archive -------------------------------------------------

    Subject: Vamoose
    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Larry Bourne" <biglar@gogittum.com> Finally, after more than 2 years, I've up-dated the engine page of the website, to bring the re-drive portion up to date. Take a look at Page 4 of the Engine & ReDrive page at http://www.biglar.homestead.com/BUILDINGVAMOOSE.html . There've been more than a few times I nearly chucked the whole thing. Glad now that I didn't, cause we're finally on the home stretch. Just one major oil leak to fix, and quite a bit of detail work, and Look Out ! ! ! Not a single reply on my lexan question, either.
