Four years ago I was channel surfing on the TV when I suddenly stopped to watch a fella sitting out in the front light airplane, flying around a huge spire at monument valley. The video camera was attached to the wing and videoing the pilot and front half of his airplane with Big Beautiful monument valley in the background. I remember scarcely breathing as I watched that captivating scene. The pilot was Adriel Heisey in his Kolb Mark II performing a special for our local PBS (Public Broadcast Station) here in Arizona. The station is located at the campus of ASU and I ordered that tape right then. Because of that scene on that tape is what started me on my quest to build my Kolb Firestar II just weeks later. I have watched that tape over and over again and still do even four years later. Adriel is an incredible pilot and professional, and more importantly a KOLB Pilot, and who has posted a few remarks on this very list of ours. If only you could watch this 14 minute video of Adriel at Monument Valley--------AMAZING! Regards, Tim PS- See you at MV May 17-19. Should be fabric covering here in the next week. -----Original Message----- From: Jim and Phyllis Hefner [mailto:hefners_tucson@hotmail.com] Subject: Kolb-List: Re: Ultralight Pilot Busted --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Jim and Phyllis Hefner" Before you folks get a linch-party formed, you better hear the whole story. This was Adriel Heisey and he did have permission to fly there, but apparantly whoever gave him the permission bothered to tell the FAA. That is not Adriel's fault. He is a renouned photographer of the Sonoran Desert and is an outstanding pilot. He is featured regularly in National Geographic, Arizona Highways and has published high quality books. Someone like John Hauck has more experience, but most of us pale in comparison to Adriel Heisey's experience and skill, so don't throw too many stones until you hear more than a headline. Jim Hefner Tucson, AZ PS: Adriel is who I talked to, before deciding to buy a Kolb. He's a class act,a real artist, a gentleman and a hell of a pilot. When you can fly your Kolb with a velcro strap around your knee like he does while taking pictures, let me know.

As of friday, the only wiring I have left is near the engine on the EIS temp probes. The cockpit is pretty much finished up and the lexan rear enclosure and gull doors need reassembled and installed. I am going to put air pressure to the cooling system in the morning to see if I got all the leaks solved. I put the acid in the battery today and put it on the charger, should be ready to go tommorrow. I can't wait to hit the EIS power switch and see real live temps, even if they are room temperature. I might also say that the shop temp got up to a blistering 45 degrees today. A friend gave me quite a deal on a Powerfin prop and it should be arriving early in the week. I sure hope when it gets here, I'll be ready to hit the key and make some wind.

But, but, but, it's outa my hands now, sorta. It's taking him a little longer than I expected, but............................snivel, snivel. I'll tell ya, from last year, Denny; it's a real charge when your own handmade baby roars into life. I grinned so hard for days, that I almost got lockjaw. That's why I'm having so much fun deciding if Vamoose is a "he," a "she," or an "it." I think "it" lacks proper respect, and normal naming is "she," but when that thing erupted into life, there was nothing feminine about it. He really ROared ! ! ! Talk about an exciting day.................the only thing (in that category) better, will be the day we take to the air. So, good luck, old son.................I hope you make it.

Got most of the stuff re-found, and entered, but there's 2 (at least) that I missed, and hope you guys can help. 1st was the one that had all the airports, as well as all the little private airstrips listed, along with their owners, phones, etc.; and the other was the one that let you check weather by entering the airport identifier. Seems like I should know that one, but I guess I'm having a senior moment, or a brain fart, or something. Totally blank. Also, between buying the J-5; finishing Vamoose; insuring (groan) both of them; going (soon) to get the J-5, (watching for a weather window now) etc., etc., it just don't look like the ol' Lar is gonna make it to SnF.
