I went back and looked at all the info i was supplied and the rivets are simply not there. I don't know what Craig has that shows them but I don't have it. SS rivets spaced 3" apart, top and bottom, staggered. We can do that. Thanks again!

Mark ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 05:57:25 PM PST US Subject: Kolb-List: Flight/Line FL-760 Radio From: "Rick Lewis" Does anyone use or have any experience with the Flight/Line Fl-760 radio. I was going to simply use my Icon hand held radio but I like the fact that the Fl-760 has a built in intercom. It does seem odd though that some people that have this radio hook it into a separate external intercom. This is the main question I have about this radio. Why would anyone feel the need to have an external intercom when one is built into the radio. If the built in intercom is lousy and unusable than I would like to know before I go out and buy it. If it's really only good for communication, than I might as well go with my original idea. Would appreciate any info on this.

Mark ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 06:22:34 PM PST US Subject: Kolb-List: warp drive prop extension From: "lucien" Hi all, I've seen a prop extension used on the Kolb with the warp drive prop on the 912, I think I saw a video of the factory MKIII with an extension used. There's a possibility I may put a warp drive on my plane (which also uses the 912ULS in pusher config) and I'd need an extension - is this a Kolb part or is it aftermarket? Just curious, thanks, LS -------- LS Titan II SS Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=230600#230600 ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 06:57:43 PM PST US Subject: Kolb-List: Re: warp drive prop extension From: "JetPilot" You can buy the prop extension directly from Warp Drive, I bought my 4 inch prop extension from Warp drive when I bought my prop. Its very strong and well designed. Talk to Daryl and he will fix you up the extension, bolts, and everything you need !
