Having owned and built a number of Corvair engines over the years, I like them a lot, but had imagined that at around 220 pounds or so, it would be too heavy for a MKIII. Obviously not, if Travis is on board with the plan, so can we see some pictures of the airframe mods? -------- Richard Pike Kolb MKIII N420P (420ldPoops) richard (at) bcchapel(dot)org Kingsport, TN 3TN0 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Hello Kolbers, I am still intending to cover my Kolbra with Oratex 6000 this summer. A guy by the name of Frank Knap covered his experimental J-3 with Oratex about two years ago. Frank won the Valdez Fly in Short Landing and Take of Championship with the J-3 last spring. I met Frank at the airport fuel pumps this summer. He told me he was very happy with the Oratex. It turned out to be a very easy application for him! When Frank's wife, who is a big sewing fan, saw how easy Oratex was to work, with she told Frank to get out of her way and she did most of the Fabric work! He said he only helped when she need extra hands! She did a great job. Sad end to the story is that Frank had a Hanger fire about a week ago and lost his planes. Enjoy, Nick Cassara Palmer, Alaska ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message kolb-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Kolb-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/kolb-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/kolb-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
