Hello All, On the Kolb U-Tube building instructions they seal the rib ends with some type of caulking. Why? Thanks, Nick Cassara Palmer, Alaska ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 04:36:58 PM PST US From: "John Hauck" Subject: RE: Kolb-List: Caulking Tube ends...? 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. john h mkIII Rock House, 7 miles south of Burns Junction, Oregon -----Original Message----- From: owner-kolb-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-kolb-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Nick Cassara Sent: Tuesday, September 08, 2015 5:09 PM Subject: Kolb-List: Caulking Tube ends...?
