| Subject: | Mark III Classic Dash |
Hi Guys,
Hope everyone is enjoying there Kolb in one way or another. I am in progress of
designing a new aluminum dash for my Mark III Classic, mainly because I have
some new avionics but secondly I am sick and tires of not being able to reach
the current dash. I would really appreciate any input from others that have improved
there dash. If you have any pictures, drawings, dimensions or just some
ideas you might have thought of because you're struggling from same deal. I thank
anyone who shares with me in advanced.

I made a stick out of aluminium sized long enough to reach things on my
dash. On one end I put a short piece of rubber tubing for turning altimeter
knobs and flipping switches. on the other end I cut a slot for turning my
keyed ignition switch. Then fashioned a place to mount the stick when I'm
not using it.
Not real fancy but it works, it is quick and easy.

The other option is to make a little console that goes between your legs and then
you don't have to reach very far. Does require you to figure out how to put
a bunch of small switches in a confined space.
Here is my solution: the radio has been replaced with a new one, but essentially
it is still the same as in this picture.

I put a 4 x 6 in plastic Box 2 inches deep riveted to the bottom of the Gap
seal right behind the windshield BowI run Master switches ignition switches
intercom switches avionics switches fuses fuel pump switches starter
switch, , and it just right over your hand when you raise it up works
great.
The altimeter transponder on the dash is still hard to reach... Been
thinking about a stick like Rick described, but haven't done it yet.

I made a trip to the Alvord to see if it was clogged with Californians to
view the Solar eclipse tomorrow. Our Hwy (Hwy 95) has been clogged with
cars for about a week. Normally in a 5 mile trip to the closest town you
might see 10 cars, this last week has been strings as much as a mile long
coming from Ca. heading to the path in Oregon and Idaho. The phenomenon has
been on Fox news quite a bit here this last week. While the Alvord is not
in the path of totality, its pretty close.
I first checked "winds aloft" and found that at 6000 feet there was
supposed to be a 14 mph wind from the NNW, and since I am SSE from there I
knew that I would be better off at low levels. I can pick up about 4 MPH by
flying in "ground effects", so I dropped down to the tops of the Sage and
started out.
I've got a bit left to do before our fly-in so I decided to clear the
carbon from the HKS and set it to maximum cruise of 5800 RPM's. I flew for
an hour and 24 minutes, a total of 84.5 miles and four gallons of fuel.
If you want to change quality of the video click on the "gear" and set your
download speed to what you want to see. It is recorded at 1080 P, so the
quality is there if you have the speed.

I'm putting new dacron sails on my plane, and will be using AeroThane 100 c
lear coat to protect the fabric.
Does anyone have any experience with using a roller instead of spraying on
the AeroThane? I've heard that it is easier, wastes less product, and actua
lly covers more evenly.
Comments?

Outstanding video, Larry! I love low level flying. I don't get to do that mu
ch up here in Michigan because of the trees. I fly a 377 Rotax so my low lev
el trust factor is not like it was over the deserts of SoCal. Would love an H
KS.
Thanks for another great video. George
Have a great day!

Bring the instrument panel center part back toward you as far as you want, but
IMHO do not extend the sides of the fiberglassnose cone rearward. The sides need
to be that far forward because you need to get your feet in and out, and extending
the sides rearward would prevent that.
