Kolbers,
Just wondering, has anyone ever put wing tanks in their Kolb?

Thanks you Larry!
I will never tire of watching your flight videos! They keep my builders
blood flowing. I hope I can return the favor before too long!

Subject: | Re: Wing Tanks in a Kolb? |
I am not sure where all the "experts" are today, so I guess you are stuck
with me.
I think most of us first consider Kolbs because they are foldable. Of
course other things are considered as well. Most likely, most fold them
when they are not flying, and I would think most do not keep them in
Hangers at the local airport. So wing tanks would be a problem. Not saying
that it couldn't be done, just that it for the most part would incapacitate
one of the primary features of Kolbs.
When I made the trip with Arty that covered 23 days, I was using a 503
which burned 4 gph. I solved the problem by using two extra fuel tanks that
I strapped into the jump seat. I wired a facet fuel pump to my panel and
used quick release fuel connectors to get the fuel to the facet and then
into a valve in the top of the front tank. That gave me 20 gallons of
available fuel. I was also able to store all my camping and personal gear
as well. When I need them, I set them in, take them out when I am just
putting around in the desert. I had a fuel gage on the front tank, and as
it would get down towards the empty side, I just transferred the fuel to
top it off. That gave me more than four hours flight time.

I think it would be hard to fold wings with gas in the tanks

Can't see why; a flexible line and/or a quick disconnect fitting would
still allow folding.
You'd have to consider structural issues and provide adequate support for
the tank at all g loadings.

Subject: | Re: Wing Tanks in a Kolb? |
Nick, Take a look at the Just Aircraft Highlander. Its folding mechanism
keeps the wings flat, but the issues are similar. About the only difficulty
for the Kolb is the method of folding, not the folding itself. You'd just
have to run the fuel and vent lines so that fuel doesn't drain out when the
wings are folded.

Hi Kolbers:
I also watched Larry's video. Very good job, as usual. I might add,
even though his video is really good, it doesn't come close to the
experience of actually hopping in your own Kolb and flying those same
routes.
I missed flying the Jordan Valley and the other areas around the Rock
House last year, but plan on flying Miss P'fer West this May.
Hopefully, I can make it to Oregon and back once again. The MKIII is
ready to go.
I plan to fly to Lakeland for Sun and Fun, about 10 to 12 hours, plus a
few hours of local flying. Might change the oil before I head West, but
other than that the new DCPR8EIX Iridium plug should have no problem
taking out West and back.
Keep those videos coming, Larry. I think all the Kolbers enjoy them.

I watched it, Larry! Enjoyable as always Thanks.
