I talked to Dave on Saturday, and he said that a guy was flying in (on a jet) to
get some stick time with him. Since this guy was from Seattle, I assume that
he was the same guy and that he was at the controls. That Dave would give a stranger
stick time in his plane to help transition to a Kolb, shows how generous
a person he was.

Kip:
Got to look a little closer. I believe 4130 streamline struts were
already in place. I do remember the first two things we changed on
the original FS was gear legs and lift struts. We went to .090 wall
4130 X 1" and heat treated to 42 Rockwell. I got the Rockwell number
from Maxair. Experience dictated harder heat treating and larger
diameter legs the next year.
Still using the same material and numbers for the gear legs on my
mkIII.

Morning Gang:
Those interested, if there are more photos of the original FS 18 gal
aluminum fuel tank, I will be glad to post them.
This tank was baffled internally, pulled fuel from the bottom rear,
lowest point of tank, through a finger strainer. Fueled from the rear
through an inlet made up of pvc and brass plumbing parts.
This tank worked great in all areas except a small leak in the bottom
rear that was not detected until after installation. This tank was
not sloshed. Had we sloshed it, like we did the 25 gal aluminum tank
in my mkIII, we probably would not have had any leakage problems.
Soon as I get a chance I will dig through old photos and see what I
can find.

Hi, we have a version that heats the carb itself available here. no
switching on and off as it is on all the time. I have it on the Jabi on
my mk 111 but as I have not flown since I crunched my wing and had only
a few hours before that i cannot speak for it. efficiency.
It is getting general use here and I have heard nothing against it.

| Subject: | Re: Original FS Fuel Tank Upgrade |
Here are some pictures of my attempt at the John/Jim Hauck fuel tank design for
a Mark III. Originally I calculated 20.5 gallons. In the leak and flow test
I did just before covering put 21.5 gallons in it. I worked out a size that
I would only have to remove one tube to install or remove. John H's tank is a
bit bigger and I think he has two tubes that he removes.
Both Jim and John talked me it through it.
One difference is my tank is .063". Couldn't get .050" around here. It was right
after Katrina and supply/selection was pretty limited. This tank weighs 10
pounds less than my old one that only carried 12.7 gallons. Should have done
it right the first time.
Take it from someone who knows, if you are thinking of making long X-countries
then you need at least a one hour reserve. Our planes fly at a speed that just
a little bit of weather at the end of a flight can put you in a bad way. I
learned the hard way. The FAR 30 minute reserve is not enough for planes that
like to fly slow.
John H has all the experience with this. These pictures are my humble attempt
to gain from that experience. If John H has trouble finding his old pictures
and you need more details let me know. I have more handy. John H did this so
long ago that once he finds them he may have to take them and have them restored
:D !
I have been fighting the two W's (Work and Weather) to get this painting finished.
Ready for final color coats. Just happens to be foul weather on my off days
for the last month. Also had few chores in there.
Anxious to fly it.

Thanks too much,

John B, looks very nice. I like the simplicity, no fancy angles, less

Maybe someday I'll do that too.

I have a carb heating system for a 912 that circulates the coolant from the
heads to keep the carbs at a tempature where they don't ice. I forget the
name but I can photo it.

Hi Gang:
Four photos I like that were shot by Larry/Karen Cottrell during our
Kolb get together and camp out on the dry lake bed. Hard to
experience complete freedom of flight like we had out there. We did
have one little area we marked as semi-restricted, that was the area
just south of us that was used by the land sailors. For some reason,
they did not want anything to do with us or our airplanes.
Looking forward to visiting that area again.
