The easy way to treat the ends of firesleeve is to mix toulene and Hi Temp RTV
(red) 50 /50. Dip ends in and allow liquid to wick up into the material inside
firesleeve. Wick 2" deep on end. Let hose dry before installing. You can
store the left over in a glass jar in the refrigerator.

Hi Roger,
I looked at the FlightDesign CT, looks like a neat plane with very good visibility
for a tractor design. How do you like it, looks like it would glide very
well and also be pretty fast.
On the fuel tubing and fire sleeve, I am going to have to change all mine out.
I was looking at all the different stuff Aircraft Spruce offered, but there
were so many I could not figure out which one to use :( Im not to concerned
about the price, do you know which would be the best to use to protect from
fire and also getting leaks by rubbing etc ?
Here is a picture of what I have now, it kind of scares me for long term use.

The kids would love to put this pretty red "syrup" they find in the refrigerator
on their waffles in the morning [Shocked]

Very intresting way to get rid of the air bubbles... I see them in my line, not
a lot, dont know if I really need to get rid of them or not. The down side
is, the more lines and connections, the more risk of a leak. Im not sure if
it would be worth it or not.
With your carb overflow lines, you dont have enough pressure differental to cause
yourself a problem, thats good ! That warning is more for those that might
be wanting to do the same thing, its bitten people before. Mine wont go onto
the exhaust, but it will go onto the hot engine :( But my engine is not
enclosed, so its not quite so bad. You can see a picture of it here

Hi Mike,
I like the CT a lot. It has a very large cabin for width and for long legs. It
carries luggage well. I's glide is 14:1 and I cruise at 115-130 mph at 4700-5000
rpm. It's a sleek little plane in the air and handles like a little Ferrari.
Really a nice little cross country machine. If you get the chance to fly in
a CT I think you will like it. Cheap to fly, just like the Kolb except for the
initial cost. I travel all over now and never worry about fuel (holds 34 gal),
luggage room or comfort. I even have in flight movies.
Here is the website on CPS. The fire sleve should protect you hose for up to 20
min. in case of fire.
The fire sleve works very well if you cut it and wrap hose areas that will rub.
Fire sleve is quite tough.
Even though you do not have an enclose cowling, think about a fuel ignition and
getting sprayed by the wind as liquid fire to your tail section.
