Suggest you locate it and the antenna in the fuselage section behind the passengers. The little whip antennas like they used to use on Piper Cherokees work well. jerb At 06:55 PM 3/20/05 -0600, you wrote: >--> Kolb-List message posted by: "John Hauck" > > | I'll mount the ELT in the nose of my Firestar II , and >get rid of some of the "dead weight" that I've had to put up there... >| > > > Mike in MN > > >Hi Mike/Gang: > >A few things to consider when mounting the ELT. > >1.

Awhile back someone posted to the kolb list a website where some relatively cheap six-gallon plastic tanks could be ordered that might be suitable for fuel tanks. I took a look and decided to order some to hold water for my camper van. Anyway, they havent arrived yet, so this morning I called the company to check the order status. The guy that answered said that he couldnt figure it out, they usually dont sell many of them, but that there had recently been a whole bunch of them ordered, and the orders werent just from one area, they seemed to be spread out over the country. Wanted to know if I knew anything about what could have caused that? Not wanting to start any fears about liability, I mumbled some vague reference about an internet chat site posting. Anyway, for any others still waiting, it could be a few weeks while they get caught up. regards Erich Weaver ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 09:09:21 AM PST US From: DAquaNut@aol.com Subject: Kolb-List: Re: Kolb-List Brs on Firefly --> Kolb-List message posted by: DAquaNut@aol.com list, I have been in lurk mode for a good while because my Firefly project has been on hold for a very long time. Duane the Plane has already built a Mark111 since I started the Fly. But I DID start After Larry Borne. My hold up has been a hangar spot. I think I have found one now, Soooooooooooo. I need some help with the Install of the BRS. I made a tray mount Like Duane designed, but I sure could use some pictures of the routing of cables ect. I just have not seen any FireFly's with chutes installed. Maybe the lister who bought Duanes Firefly could help me. Also If anyone has good advice on what to do or not to do on engine break-in,that would be a great help. Thanks to all who have helped in the past. I would be more lost than I am now. I didn't find anything on chute mounting for Firefly in the archives. Thanks Again Ed { in Houston} ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 10:20:27 AM PST US From: ray anderson Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Re: Kolb-List Brs on Firefly --> Kolb-List message posted by: ray anderson Ed, I would strongly urge you to contact BRS ( 651-457-7491 ) and ask for a diagram showing proper mounting of the cannister and cables . They have worked out what is best for all of the Kolbs. I got good information for installing mine on my UltraStar. It's too critical to just guess if it's hooked properly.

Maybe the lister who bought > Duane's Firefly could help me. Hi Ed, I bought Duane's Firefly but unfortunately it is getting a facelift and the BRS is currently removed. Because of the added weight of the floats I will be putting a new 750 BRS back on and using the factory method. Duane did not use the factory style mount so his method is different. I will look at some of my old photos and see if any of them show any details. I have already started a Firefly kit so we will be offering Duane"s Firefly for sale at Sun n Fun. If you are at the show you should track it down, it will be at the Kolb booth unless we are at Lake Parker flying.
