 |
|
I am seeking any information you folks may have for MKIII's on floats, particularly mono floats.
Several years ago there was an outdoor (nature show) which included a white Kolb MKIII with a mono float arrangement. I think it may have been about Kodiak Bears in USSR??
I have an original MKIII Sn#035 and live in Yellowknife NT Canada. I purchased it in the spring of 1991 from Holmer. All the metal work is done and covering completed on the small parts but I have yet to cover the wings or cage. It was inspected by our MOT in 1994 and the next inspection due is pre-flight (my intensions are to register it as a Canadian "Homebuilt"). I bought it as a single guy, have since got married, had kids, ect. I'm back "into it" again and hope to make all the parts become one soon!
Lately I have purchased an (unused) original 912 UL and plan to use it. I am aware of the issues of the particular engine, however, I would like to know what is done to increase the fuel capacity? I am toying with the idea of a wing tank. Between drag strut and main spar of the innermost 2 ribs would provide 20 gallons or so. Wing folding will seldom if ever be required. Has anyone ever done this?
Regards, Jim Pook

Jim,
Bob Griffin, in upstate New York (near Albany) used to own a MkIII on a lotus mono-float, but sold it several months ago. I'm not sure he still monitors this list but I know he can be contacted at
