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”!

Cold Kolber,

Minus 12*F and 20 mph north winds…not a fun day to be flying!

I brought the subject up years ago...

John H suggested it would be a bad idea...

I took his advise and will get extra fuel some other way...

So far... on cross country flights... I change over to "Two"
blade on my IVO... and go 100 mile legs pretty easy...

That's been good enough that I haven't needed to carry more fuel

PS John's "reason" was in case of a Hard landing...
The gear gives out.... there's yer tank....

Speaking of "Moose"...... Did "Vamoose" EVER make it into the Air ???
By Big Lar or somebody else ????
