I read today that the Reklaw fly-in will be canceled due to the fire potential
in the NE Texas area. Sorry fellas.

Thanks for the update. I too received an email from Marsha in this regard. I will
be visiting family in the San Antonio area anyway. I was hoping too see some
Kolbs there. So if any of you are anywhere near San Antonio and would like
to show off your MKIII send me a private email and my son and I will pay you
a visit between October 15-23.
do not archive

Subject: | Anyone check for carbon monoxide? |
I put my back windows on the Slingshot last week, and soon after thought I could
smell something while flying. I have a battery powered carbon monoxide detector
in my Zenith, so I took it flying and was surprised to find a low level that
was constant inside. I thought it was the breather from the oil container
(HKS), so I rerouted it out through the bottom of the boom tube, but did not
get better. My exhaust runs down along the back of the fuselage and exits on an
angle just above the boom tube. I wonder if a vacuum is occurring and somehow
pulling exhaust forward?
How many people have checked for carbon monoxide? It sure is not something I thought
to be concerned with having a pusher behind me. Any thoughts would be
appreciated.

I went on the new Kolb website the other day and found me and my plane
on the home page, and again in the Slingshot section. Pictures were
taken from Oshkosh a few months back, not sun and fun as listed. I'm
happy they thought my plane was worthy. I have been flying it quite a
bit since the HKS install. It sure is good on fuel, especially for the
performance it gives.

every Kolb I have flown always had a draft coming in through the boom tube
you could be getting exhaust through it but you
can slow it down by placing a big piece of foam rubber inside the tube near
the tail end

Tom,
My engine and exhaust are different than yours. I've never checked the CO
in my Slingshot but ALWAYS fly with the vents in the aft windows open in
such a way that air is sucked out through those vents, to avoid any possible
CO accumulation. In warm weather, I also pressurize the cabin by opening the
forward vents such that they grab the airflow directing it toward me, plus
adding positive pressure to the cabin.
