This one has a 10' long hose, reaches the wing on the MKIII. Pumps about 2 gallons/minute.

Forgiving is tough, being forgiven is wonderful, and God's grace really is amazing.

Hi and thanks for the reply. Don't know yet what I would ask for my airplane. I
did look in Barnstormers and saw a wide variation of prices for the Kolbs.
But I think that if all I could get for it is in the price you mentioned ($5K)
I would probably just hang it from my hangar ceiling and enjoy how pretty it is
:)
Best Regards,
Chris
