Hart" Subject: Kolb-List: Squeeze Bulb Safety & Positive Pressure Prime FireFlyer's, Put up a couple of pages that might be of interest. The first shows a method of how to safety a fuel squeeze bulb while saving some weight and at the same time simplifying the fuel system. It can be seen at: http://jackbhart.com/firefly/firefly157.html The second shows a method for getting rid of the squeeze bulb all together providing additional weight savings and system simplification. Herb gave me the idea. It can be seen at: http://jackbhart.com/firefly/firefly157a.html These methods were investigated while trying to figure out how to get fuel to the Tillotson carburetor on the MZ 34. Turns out that neither of them will work, but they will with the Bing. And each will save a little weight. Clouds and rain have moved in. Snow is gone. Wings are back on the FireFly. Jack B.

Saves on food money too. Larry C Note: If you forward this email, please delete the forwarding history, which includes my email address. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jack B.

And I already had my daily cup of Seafoam early this morning.... but I just got through looking at Brother Hart's elegant tire valve solution for fuel system pressurization which saved two ounces off a Firefly... and thought of the irony of my having just added about 8 lbs. to mine day before yestiddy by putting 600x6 tires and aluminum Azuzas on it.... Mebbe I'll do Brother Hart's tire valve thingy this weekend to start on the road to recovery... Lessee.... with the valve, only 126 ounces to the break even point... is that right...? ...naw... can't be...

In the end I ditched the bulb and installed a plunger primer. -Dana -- If God took acid, would He see people? ________________________________ Message 12 ____________________________________ Time: 07:55:31 PM PST US Subject: Kolb-List: Rust Dust From: "Richard Pike" Got a question for you metallurgically-knowledgeable types out there: on the donor aileron I am using to rebuild the FSII wing, did not like the looks of the metal fittings at either end, so pulled them off, and sure enough they were rusty inside the aluminum aileron tube. Cleaned them off, and they are currently drying under a coat of rustkiller/sealer, but here's the question: as far down as I can see with the flashlight the inside of the aileron tube has a lot of "rust dust" in it, left over from what came out of the inside of the aileron bellcrank at one end, and the counter balance at the other end. I am inclined to just take a hose, swab it out it out good, rinse it, let it dry and forget it. But since I have never encountered this before, haven't read of anybody else dealing with it either, (and at my age, any learning opportunity is something good) - so any opinions (good, bad or otherwise) out there of what might be a better idea?
