I installed my 912UL last October and it came supplied with the blue hose oil line. Like the Hawk said, it takes a bunch of effort to put on and you gotta cut it off. But ---- it still came with clamps. I have had trouble with clamps on auto add on trans coolers. The clamps like to slide loose but that is because the fittings are not specific to the hose and you need to add a little something to keep them on sometimes. Pressure in hoses can do funny stuff. I have had trouble with my exhaust clamps, the EGT sending units on the pipes. I had to safety wire them around and back to hold them on. So -- there seems to be a time where the extra wire is handy to use. Other than that, water lines just need a little checking occasionally. Need re-tightening after initial hot run up and max cool down. ALL hoses, especially on cars need to be retightened less they leak when they get cold. Last of my .02 cents. Ted Cowan, Alabama. See ya all at Homecoming!!!!!! ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 06:44:00 AM PST US From: "Jim Hauck" Subject: Kolb-List: Fw: Fire Fly Morning Y'all; The attachments are pictures of the first two Fire Fly's built by Homer. Pic 1049, the cage on the right is the original Fire Fly built in 1959. Had a T-tail all metal, 22 foot wing span and powered by 4 X 10 hp Westbend engines. Homer only flew this one on Crow Hops . The cage on the left is the second Fire Fly that Homer built circa 1960. This plane was powered by 2 X 14 Hp Solos engines and had a 26 foot wing span. Homer flew this Fire Fly extensively around his local area. Fire Fly number 2 was unique in several ways. It had no main wing ribs, just false leading edge ribs. It was covered with Mylar that was reinforced with fiberglass strands and the covering was attached with fiberglass reinforced shipping tape. The airfoil was shaped by air flow on the wing. Pic 1033, Homer is cleaning No 2 up to hang in the barn, you can see the Mylar fabric on the tail surface. The shipping tape is still holding it on. Homers next project was the Flyer.
