Scott,
The oil reservoir bracket didn't hold up very long, I had to replace the
angle aluminum bracket with an angle iron.
This picture shows the angle aluminum bracket cracked between the two bolts.
I found the crack during a preflight.

Hi Will
I like your photos of your plane parked in front of a gas pump. I noticed
the location of your oil reservoir. How is it holding up? When I got my
MKIII 14 years ago I had a 582 on it with oil injection. My reservoir was
mounted to the engine along side and ran over the top (from a snowmobile
shaped like a 7). After a number of hours of flying with it in that
location, the bracket that I made started to crack. I later moved the
reservoir to the airframe where it worked out great. Maybe yours will be ok
but it's something to watch out for.

Hi fellow kolbers,
Just received the 3rd edition of sport plane video magazine. In this edition there
is a Kolb shown flying and it looks a lot like Will Uribe's. Anyone else receiving
this video subscription?
As for Kolbra number 12 things are moving right along. I had to take time off this
past weekend to attend the second of 3 of the required courses to become a
repair station for the 912 and 914 series engines. If every thing goes well tonight
and tomorrow, we may fire the 912UL on the kolbra this weekend. As a tip
from the school, any of you that have 912 engines that are in storage whether
it be from building of just plain sitting, it is recommended that you remove
the plugs (for ease) and turn the prop 60 times or RPM's to purge the system.This
is standard for any plain bearing engine. The max recommended time without
running is 24 months. Will let you know if mine tosses a rod! Food for thought...
crankshaft $3500.00 bucks Camshaft $1500.00 bucks exhaust and intake valves
$225.00 bucks each! Cylinder heads $1100.00 bucks a pop. BRS if all goes
to hell in a handbasket...priceless......
ps.. the 912 can be started and run without a prop or load. Ronnie Smith with south
ms light aircraft as well as Eric Tucker confirmed this. You just need to
have the set screws backed all the way off and choke or activate the starter
carburetors (as roatax calls them). The engine will rev really fast and very high
if not careful. This standard operating procedure for testing newly overhauled
912's
Later gang

There is a new bulletin board for homebuilders and aviation enthusiasts. It looks
to have been in service for several months. Check it out. It's easy to join.
