From: "Mic" 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 -------- Mic "It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring."

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.

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.

From: Ellery Batchelder Jr 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 Ellery Batchelder Jr. -----Original Message----- From: McCarthy Tom Sent: Tue, Oct 4, 2011 5:01 pm Subject: Kolb-List: Anyone check for carbon monoxide?

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.
