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.

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. Mike -------- "NO FEAR" - If you have no fear you did not go as fast as you could have !!!

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.

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. http://www.rotaxparts.net/scripts/prodView.asp?idProduct=1287 Hose Cover (P117) It is sold at $.98 per foot. CPS seems to be cheaper than Aircraft Spruce. P117 Firesleeve Hose Cover. Firesleeve Hose cover offers the maximum in fire protection. Orange seamless silicone outer surface cushioned by braided fiberglass inner core. Together with the hose and fittings shown here will provide protection from 2000F for 20 minutes. Simply slips over #181413 hose shown above. Secure in place with stepless clamp and bio-therm 100 for fire proof installations. Conforms to SAE Aerospace standard 1072A Type 2A. Sold by the inch.
