Dont know how many know this but there is another answer to using low lead
av gas. I have been reading (and using) about the new Sta-bil. There is a
website for it at www.goldeagle.com/sta-bil/stabil_marine.htm. There are
also some other brands you can find at marine outlets. I have used stabil
forever to keep tractor and motorbikes, generators clean. This is
formulated special for ethanol. I had it in my gas the whole time I was
flying at the homecoming. It sets my mind at ease that I should not have to
worry about corn squeezins in my tanks. Check it out and you may find one
less thing to worry about. Oh, yeah, put in my rv too, one once per ten
gals of gas and although I did not get better mileage, it did run a whole
lot faster over the mountains, has an octane booster in it. I am sold.
Had a funtastic time at homecoming. Great to see all you guys again, so
many Kolbs, so little time. Was impressed with the Hurth on the MkC.
Sounded and performed pretty much as a Rotax but I guess a bunch cheaper.
Also was a fantastic plane. Red, White and Blue, my colors. My Kudos to
all who worked the homecoming. We appreciate it. Ted Cowan, Alabama,
Slingshot 912.

Subject: | Re: Use of Facet fuel pumps as backup to pulse pump |
Howard,
The first part of your post is very good, there are many reasons to have a backup
fuel pump, and your experience is just another example of many reasons as to
how having backup electric fuel pump can prevent an engine failure.
I strongly disagree with the second part of your post, an electric fuel pump should
always be on for takeoff and landing. Takeoff is where the fuel demand is
the highest, and when you are most likely to need an electric pump. The safest
thing you can do is to keep your engine running on takeoff, and prevent a
crash period, you will not have time to turn on your fuel pump or restart if your
engine quits soon on takeoff. You increase the chances of a crash and the
fire you are so worried about by not running a backup fuel pump on takeoff.
You obviously saw the results of one accident where a freak set of circumstances
made it much worse, but to base your actions on ONE ACCIDENT is bad judgment.
Just because something happens ONCE does not make it PROBABLE. I flipped
a coin once, and it landed on the edge, does that mean than in a coin toss I am
always going to guess the coin will land on the edge ??? No, I will chose heads
or tails... I will chose something that is likely, not something that has
a one in a million chance just because I have seen it before.
Your chances of a crash on takeoff and a post crash fire are increased by NOT running
the fuel pump. It is important to look at what the biggest risks are rather
than obsessing over what happened in one freak accident.
In certified aircraft, the procedure is to have electric backup pumps running for
takeoff and landing. The best solution to avoid a fire is to avoid a crash
on takeoff, the best way to avoid a crash is to keep your engine running on
takeoff.

I believe the DEP requires that fuel-contaminated soil be BURNED --
like, cremated. That's one reason why it costs so much.
The air pollution may well be worse than burying it -- but that's the
Gov't for you.
A residence nearby had a fuel-oil leak that cost over $100-K.

Kolb doesn't publish a POH for any of their planes. This is very common with
experimentals. Every plane is built differently so a POH would be
meaningless. Sorry but that's the way it is.
VNE is published as 100MPH for this plane but that is about it. Cruise
speeds range from 50-80 MPH for this plane but this is all dependant on
engines and accuracy/installation of the airspeed indicator.
We weren't ignoring you we just don't have what you wanted. It is always
best to tell us about yourself and your plane so that we can help you
better. We are not in any way part of the Kolb factory.

Hi Bill E:
TNK has three employees. All three worked their butts off last week and Sa
turday and Sunday to put on the Kolb Homecoming for us. I got a good idea
they had the day off yesterday and today. I bet if you call Travis in the
morning, he'll be there and get you a new counterbalance weight to UPS tomo
rrow.
BTW: They don't get overtime, and some of their hours have been cut. That
hurts in todays environment.
Take care,

Subject: | harvested peanut feild for a landing strip? |
Today the farmer picked the peanuts in the field surrounding my house so now I
have a big 30ish acre field with 1200 to 1800 feet of length in any direction.
Since the crop has been picked the field is smooth with rows of peanut hay however
its real dry and dusty. I am sure many of you are familiar with peanut
fields and how dusty things are during harvest.
I would like to use it as my airstrip until the guy plows it in which will be
a while probably 4 to 5 months however i am a bit concerned about the dusty conditions
damaging my prop and sand blasting the tail section. Do any of you
fly from fields like this?
Should i be concerned with the dirt the prop is going to kick up? It would be so
convenient to roll my plane out of the trailer and takeoff from my backyard.
