| Subject: | test: Now Poly-Brush |
Well now this is just getting more and more strange.
After seeing this one go through and getting your reply, I posted a new
clean message, and it never showed up. So now, I am going to modify the
reply from this one to see if my message will go through.
Guys,
Both Firefly wings are done up through the first brushed on coat of Poly
Brush. I have gone through nearly a gallon of Poly Brush getting to this
point. I bought the recommended two gallons, but am worried that there
won't be enough to finish the plane.
Logic says that I would use more as the first coat does most of the sealing
and it is used to put the tapes on. However, even using an HVLP sprayer, I
am bound to lose some to overspray.
I am trying to figure out if I need to buy more, and if so, how much? I
don't want to run out and have to wait for order to arrive when it gets warm
enough to start spraying.
What kinds of coverage did you get out of Poly Brush on your projects?
Thanks,
Stuart
(The more I get done, the more I realize there is to do!)

I poly-brushed one Xtra wing, two coats, and had quite a bit left over,
out of one gallon. I have another gallon, unopened; where are you
located?

I fought with Live Mail for a couple months, the final straw came as I was using
it for our aircraft club email newsletters and it became selective about how
many of the Bcc addresses it would send, randomly leaving out 2/3's of the list.
Now I use Live Mail only for my incoming unimportant mail accounts, and Thunderbird
for the important stuff.

Good idea. Glad that the pic was good enough. If you pan in close enough
you can recognise me from the look of sheer terror on my face.

I second the request to have it posted. I just joined the SSA and
started saving to get my glider rating this summer. It's a cheap add on
to a PPL, just 10 flights and a check ride. Can't wait to get back into

117 51.198 W . The physical address is 5070 Hwy 95 S, Jordan Valley
Oregon. Jordan Valley is the nearest town, but 52 miles away, so if you are
planning to come, stock up before you leave what is commonly known as
"civilization". There is plenty of room to camp. Bring sunscreen, shade is
rare. The area is high Desert, with spectacular, but scattered scenery.
Runway elevation is 4000 feet. Runway length is 2800 feet of dirt. There is
also a 700 foot cross wind runway. If you are forced by wind to use it, 700
feet is quite long enough. Radio traffic use 123.450. Phone number- 541 586
5030 - call if you plan to attend.

| Subject: | reserve fuel tank test |
My fuel system consists of two five gallon stock tanks from Kolb. I run
both tanks to a selector valve on a small panel located just in front of
the throttle. The pickups in each tank are on a piece of fuel line that
comes in from the top of each tank, and goes to an in tank fuel filter. It
is one that I purchased from Aircraft Spruce and is of the type commonly
used in model airplanes. Basically it keeps the lumps out, and also serves
the purpose of being able to follow the fuel. ( if you are in a downward
angle the filter should run to the front of the tank, or vice versa) From
the selector valve the outgoing line goes to a home made gascolator, then
to a facet fuel pump and on to the stock diaphragm fuel pump that came with
the engine.
My EIS is set to trigger the alarm with one gallon of fuel left in the
tank. I am running an HKS 700 E on my Firestar II, that gets around 3 gph.
at 5200 rpm's. I have about 200 hours on it, and I am pleased with it. I
however have never tried an in air restart, nor checked to see just how
long or far the plane will fly when the red light begins to blink. This
evening was the day to find out.
I climbed up to 1500 feet agl and switched to my front tank that had 1.8
showing in the front tank. I took the wife's kitchen timer up with me, and
got my Garmin ready to reset the miles when I punched the button. When the
alarm went on, I turned the timer on. I was flying at 5600 RPM. Maximum
cruise is 5800 rpm's. I wanted the test to be on the conservative side.
When the engine quit, I had been flying 16 minutes and had covered 17
miles.
Engine restart was a non event. I switched tanks,pulled the throttle all
the way back, and the engine fired on the first revolution. No choke
necessary.
I do not intend to fly on my reserve on purpose, but I did want to know how
far I could go if It became necessary.

I plan to be there. However, I won't be flying, again this year.
Looking forward to visiting my favorite people and one of my favorite
places in CONUS.
Here is another photo of the Rock House taken from MKIII, N101AB, in
2011. This is a Kolb friendly airfield for sure.
First flew to this part of the world in 2005. Every year thereafter
until 2012, except for 2010.
We met and made a lot of new friends, rediscovered old friends, since
the first Monument Valley Flyin in 2003. Basically, that is what the
Rock House Flyin is all about. Friends that were made because of our
Kolb aircraft. It has been an amazing journey.
