Hello Kolbsters,


Has anyone ever seem a belly fuel pod on a Kolb. I was fly moose surveys
today, and most of the Supercubs we charter have belly pods. The plane I was
in today can carry 36 gallons in the pod, the fuel is transferred in to the
wing tanks once enough fuel in burned off. A smaller pod for a Kolb could
carry a couple hours for of fuel.


Thanks to Rick for doing the math on the "Starved Horse Wing"!
