Hello All,
On the Kolb U-Tube building instructions they seal the rib ends with some type
of caulking. Why?
Thanks,

Hi Nick:
Being at the Rock House I finally have reliable WIFI for the
first time in two months.
BTW, Kolbers, passing through Palmer, Alaska, a few weeks
ago, I got to meet Nick Cassara at the airport. He is doing
a fine job of rejuvenating and modifying the original Kolb
Kolbra, New Kolb Aircraft's prototype. Wish Nell and I
could have spent more time with Nick.
While passing south through Mesa, Washington, Nell and I
spent the day with Andy and Sheila Slinkard. Andy is an old
home builder and recently completed an HKS powered FS II.
Got to take a real close look at the FS and Andy's work. He
is a real craftsman.
Reference caulking rib tube ends, I have never seen this in
any Kolb manual. I, personally, would not want to plug
them. I see no reason to. Down side might be a good place
to trap moisture/condensation. I don't recommend doing
that.
Good to be back in the Lower 48.
Another BTW. The annual Rock House Kolb Flyin will be the
end of the week, starting this Friday. Just because it is a
Kolb Flyin doesn't make it a Kolb only flyin. All aircraft
and Kolb enthusiasts are welcome. This is the 11th Annual
Rock House Kolb Flyin. Actually, the first was on the
Alvord Desert in 2005. Larry and Karen Cottrell, two dogs,
a cat, a parakeet, a Peregrine Falcon, a Kolb FS, and a
motor home, were waiting for me (MKIII), John Williamson
(Kolbra), and Gary Haley (MKIII), at a set of GPS
coordinates right where they were supposed to be. The three
of us flew up to the Alvord after the Unplanned/Unorganized
Kolb Flyin, Monument Valley, Utah. Some great memories from
these experiences.
