I fly RC airplanes and the fuel (really, really expensive stuff) comes with
a red sealing cap inside the outer screw off cap. put a hole in it and
mount your switch. looks nice and functional too. go to your local flying
club and you can get one for free and have a nice day at the air field also.
been using this idea for years. ted cowan

Howdy Folks. Crimped connections are fine for aviation, even preferred depending
on the location, as long as you use the proper crimper, not the kind you get
at the auto parts store. AMP and DMC make really good crimpers. The same crimper
will do ring terminals, spades, hand-shakes, etc. The crimper ratchets, and
does not release until fully crimped. You get the same, approved crimp every
time. It should also put a dot or some other symbol into the plastic on the terminal
to identify that it has been properly crimped. Solder is also acceptable
depending on the location. I went through the 2 monthmicro-mini solder school
in the Navy, probably the best in the country, so I know of what I speak. "Clean,
smooth, shiny, concave fillets with no de-wetting, pits, or protrusions,"
is the mantra that is drilled into your head. If your solder joint passes that
criteria, then it's good. You must make sure your leads are secure, else vibratio
n will cause the joint to fail after a period of time. Hope this helps, and spend
some money on a good crimper....it's worth it. (Ebay usually has a bunch)
Guy Morgan (Galveston, TX soon-to-be Kolber)
I believe you're right, Larry. I've read the same thing, where you'll have
a stress riser at the end of the solder. There's also concern about 'cold
solder' joints. It takes practise. Then again, I've seen MANY crimped
connectors fail because people don't put some muscle into the crimp. Just
squeezing it down to where it's snug on the wire isn't enuf. Gotta make it
solid tight, and should leave at least 1/16" between the crimp and the end
of the fitting, to avoid a stress riser there, as well. Lar.

Guys, my memory is faulty at best, but it seems to me that for airplanes

Old Poops, and Other Kolbers interested in the Verner engine -
As you all know by now, there are two List members flying Verner engines on
our Kolbs: Bill George and myself, both on Mark-IIIs.
I have flown only about 20 hours on mine.
I like my VM-1400. Plenty of power, 4-stroke, and runs smooth.
Here's an example: Last week I flew up to 13,000 feet msl, and still had a
climb rate of 400 fpm. Was not even at WOT, but at about 80 percent
throttle (3800 engine rpm; 1900 prop rpm).
Plus, customer support from the US distributor has been exceptional.
The 1400 has a belt-drive reduction unit. Verner now makes a gearbox
reduction drive, and if that model (the 133) was available at the time I
bought my engine in 2000, I likely would have opted for it. And, although
the Verner is a good engine, had I had a few more dollars to spend on an
engine in 2000, I would have gone with a 912 just because of its wider
popularity and excellent reputation. Maybe that's why the T-bird guy is
selling his - moving up to the more popular 912.

Perhaps this has recently been answered ...sorry for being lazy about

car gas stations in my area now have ethanol in the gas.
Long ago there was rumor that this could/would increase tendency for
2-stroke oil to separate from the gas. I've not worried about it other
than to use fresh stuff.
What's the consensus on this one?

Ben,
I've used it because the cheaper gas station only sold blended fuel.
I never had a problem with it in either Cuyuna or Rotax 2cycle engines, even
when left for several weeks. I always used Seaform or a similar additive
along with klotz or Pennsoil oil, so that may complicate the results for
you.

Hello MV 2003 gang,
Boyd Young recently encouraged me to make up some CD's from last year's Monument
Valley get together. Unfortunately I've lost the digital pictures from my
video cam, but I do have quite a few 35mm pictures and edited video that I will
put on CD's, for those that would like them. The video is for viewing with
Windows Media player and the quality is not great, but not terrible. It is around
21 min's after editing.
Let me know off-list if you would like one and I'll make them up and bring them
to MV later in the week. Lookin' forward to seeing most of the familiar faces
from last year there, plus meeting many new ones.
Take care and fly or drive safe to Monument Valley!!

--> Kolb-List message posted by: "Larry Bourne" <biglar@gogittum.com>
Ol' Lar's been busy on the phone, and here's some food for thought for those who're
coming to Monument Valley THIS WEEK. You may have seen pictures of the slot
canyons near Page, AZ. For a good introduction, enter "Antelope Canyon,"
and/or "Corkscrew Canyon" in a search engine. I've arranged with Navajo Tours
to go on the 2 hour photographers tour of Antelope Canyon at 11:00 AM on Monday,
the 17th. I spoke with Dalvin at 1-928-698-3384. Last year, I believe
it was Erich Weaver and his wife and daughter who went on a 1/2 day raft
trip from Glen Canyon Dam to Lee's Ferry, on the Colorado River. This is thru
Marble Canyon - the beginning of the Grand Canyon, and the scenery is spectacular.
For a very good look at it, go onto my website, click on "Traveling,"
then click on "Vacation 2002," then on "Grand Canyon." That was when I took
my little 15' boat on just that trip, and the idea of relaxing on a raft and really
enjoying it appeals very strongly. I spoke with a very pleasant lady named
Jean, at Wilderness Outfitters - 1-985-534-3474, and made reservations for
a 1/2 day trip leaving Page on their bus at 7:30 AM on Tuesday, the 18th. They
take you thru a 2 mile tunnel and launch at the base of the dam, (that's gotta
be an adventure in itself ! ! !) then float 15 miles down to Lee's Ferry,
(it's an easy float - no big rapids) pick you up, and bring you back to Page.
Cost is $59.00 for adults, and $49.00 for kids under 12. My photographer's handbook
shows some very interesting scenery to the SE of Page, so I'll fill Monday
afternoon with that. Anyone want to join me ?? Make your own reservations
! ! ! Lookin' Forward Lar.
