Kolbers:
This thread raises a couple of questions I haven't seen addressed yet...
1. I have read that black rubber lines are fine with pure gasoline, but not
OK with pre mix...
The inner lining eventually delaminates and then disintegrates. I
personally experienced this
with a Gates rubber line... it put a large number of tiny black rubber
particles and several
good size (matchead size) chunks of rubber into the clear plastic fuel
filter when it began to break down...
Had I not been using a clear filter, I never would have caught it. The line
was in service
about 8 months when this happened.
2. Re stainless safety wire... Haven't seen anyone mention putting short
protective sleeves
of the next larger size tubing... an inch or so long... over the
connections of urethane or tygon
before wrapping them with the safety wire. An Aircraft Spruce guy suggested
this to me
one time... He said it was widely done with good results and gave stout
connections without
the danger of cutting into the line... I'm doing it... I tested the lines
by pulling on them.
They will literally break before they can be pulled off...
Whaddya think...?

If the hose rubber is made from Neoprene, it will not be affected by pre mixed
fuels.

Do a search on google for cotter rings - several marine sites that
sell stainless steel versions at reasonable price - McMaster may have
a minimum dollar order amount.

Jerb,
McMaster does not have a minimum order amount, they are much more user
friendly than Graingers and the service is the best.
The Cotter rings do come in bags of 100, but for around $5 you can't beat
it, that gives you plenty to drop or bail out a buddy who dropped his.
I am begining to sound like I work for them. :-)

------------------------------------------
I have had two different props on my 912 ul.. Both were purchased from the
manufactures. (Precision and warp drive) And the recommendations were the
same from both companies. 68 x 3 blades. I don't know if my home
altitude was part of the decision process or not. the companies had the
info. I am at a field elevation of 4426 ft. I asked the gentleman at warp
drive about the regular tip and the taper tip. And he told me that at this
altitude the regular tip would work best, and at lower altitudes the taper
tip would be best. Of the two props the warp drive has been the best in my
installation. Also when ordering both props I told them that the kit
manufacture recommended 3 blade props to keep some noise down, and run
smoother. I do not know what the recommendations would have been if I
asked for a 2 blade prop.

Hi Kolbers,
It's a rainy afternoon here in south MS and just before heading off to the shop
I thought I might share some Kolb building updated info for those following my
progress. I started the task of wireing the EIS and master switch into the airframe
2 days ago. Last night I put the first jolt of 12V into the hot box and
panel! Didn't set any thing on fire!!!! I was amazed at the number or wires
that are "not used" with the EIS. For new builders that decide to go the EIS route,
don't freak out when you open the box and see that massive wireing harness
as I did. It's really simple! I am learning alot from other builders about
the "electrics" of an airplane's airframe. Heck all my back ground it motor cycle
related and we just twist tha wires together and go racing! Anyway time to
haed to the shop and play with the toy. Take care all

| Subject: | Tire recommendations solicited |
--> Kolb-List message posted by: "David Paule" <dpaule@frii.com>
I'm removing the original 15-6:00x6 tires that came on my Firestar II. The
wheels are the standard kind for Firestars, I think, using drum brakes. I
think all that are go-cart equipment originally, but I don't really know.
Should I replace them with the same kind? Or should I install the 6:00x6
McCreary "Aero Trainer" tires? I'd rather have the aircraft tires if they'd
work and if they'd fit. I don't know what the tire size numbers mean - one
of my many areas of non-expertise.
I know they'd weigh a bit more, and that's okay here.
Are there inner tubes with bent-tube Schroeder valves that would fit?
And now for the big question - what have been your experiences?
Thanks for the help!

Maybe it was Seafoam that had an indefinite shelf life. Yeah, that's it!

| Dave Paule2001
Dave:
A lot of us have run the gambit of wheel barrow and golf cart tires,
then finally tried some "real" airplane tires and stuck with them.
I flew my MKIII to Alaska on McCreary Air Trac 600X6's and the 2004
flight on 800X6's. Would never go back to the garden store variety,
although they served me well over the years.
Primary difference between off road and aircraft tires is the aircraft
tires are rated for 120 mph, are trued and balanced prior to leaving
the factory. Makes for much smoother takeoffs and landings, very
little vibration. Also handles much better on paved strips and taxi
ways.
Here is a good place to get aircraft tires. It is where I get mine:

MATCO has the 90 deg valve stems. So does Desser, but they are very
expensive.
