Also keep the battery on a small solar charger/regulator. Last year the MKIII sat in the hanger for more than a 4 month period. Fired right up when I got back home from my land trip. I'd have to go over to the airstrip to find out what make and model I am using now. john h mkIII Titus, Alabama List I'm looking for a battery for an Xtra.

Anyone have that info?

My MKIII started flying with lead acid batteries from Wal-Mart. Made my first flight to Alaska with one in 1994. Was glad to get the SLA and AGM batteries that work better and do not have the acid hazard to contend with. Sulfuric acid will eat through paint, dope, epoxy chromate primer, aluminum and 4130 steel. My MKIII knows. Kolbs don't have a problem carrying a little extra weight. If I was going to be building a Part 103 ultralight to make the 254 lb weight limit, I'd go with the lithium ion battery or a pull starter. My opinion only. john h mkIII Titus, Alabama As I recall, someone mentioned a lightweight battery that worked as well as those 12-pound ones. Anyone have that info?

Instructions say to spray and leave it on for ten minutes and rinse it off. Well I went to bed and forgot about it. It cleaned up good and looks fine, but i am concerned the cotton may come apart. anyone ever leave the cleaner on that long? Im thinking about ordering a new one from leaf!

If it was mine, I'd rinse it off, dry it out, oil it up, and use it. Check it periodically to insure its integrity. I bought a bottle of that spray cleaner 30 years ago. Was expensive. Only one I ever bought. Since then I have used gasoline to clean the filters, air dry, re-oil, and go fly. Not recommending anyone do as I do, but it works for me. john h mkIII Titus, Alabama I was cleaning my 447 air filter last night with the K&N cleaner which is pretty strong.
