Kolb Friends -
I spent 2 days at TNK in London, KY last week to get some transition
training in their new Mark-3 Extra, and I just wanted to pass along my
experience.
The main thing I went away with (besides learning how to land a Kolb without
breaking something) is: Those are some great folks, and I'm happy to own an
airplane that is associated with a company like New Kolb!
I met the owner, Bruce Chesnut, and their two test/demo pilots, Norm
Labhardt and Brian Milburn. I received instruction on two different days
from both Norm and Brian in the new Mark-3 that they showed at Sun-n-Fun.
Got to speak with Ray Brown for quite a while as he showed me thru the
factory, and I also met Linda. All terrific, friendly people who are
obviously dedicated to their cusomers and their products. And, I saw the
fantastic Americana Firefly that won Best Ultralight at Sun-n-Fun - what
amazing piece of artwork! (Brian said more than 250 manhours of work went
into that paint job!)
I recommend a trip to TNK to any new Kolb pilot (like me) needing transition
trianing. I'tll be worth your effort, and you'll go home with the
confidence that your airplane kit was created by a caring, professional team
of folks. I'm looking forward to returning there for the Kolb Fly-In at the
end of September.

HI Gang,
Thanks for the input on the sig. intercom. When it worked it was great, but
had it repaired locally. I never thought to send it back to the factory for
up date and repair. I will give that a try. Thanks again for the
recommendations.

including ULs (fat, thin, reg'ler). EAA judging.

available, if a fellow ULer needs
Mogas I can take cans to nearby gas station (2 mi). Five motels within
2-3 miles, at least five more a coupla miles further. Tie downs
available--bring rope if all used up here.
Here are the radio freqs:
CTAF/UNICOM 122.7 APPR/DEP 120.45 CLRNC DEL 126.15 WX AWOS-3 124.85
Contact me for any questions.

| Subject: | Miss P'fer Can Still Fly |
--> Kolb-List message posted by: John Hauck <jhauck@elmore.rr.com>
Hi Ya'll:
Got the tail section back on yesterday late.
Cranked the 912S for the first time in a couple
months. With a little boost from the Nissan PU
battery, she fired right off. Besides a lot of
pollen, dust, bug crap, carpenter bee sawdust and
feces, a few leaves and some bird crap, she was in
good shape and ready to fly. Just before dark we
committed aviation after a nice long period of
engine check at low, moderate, cruise and high
power runups. Except for the club fisted pilot,
that needs a lot of flight to really get current
again, Miss P'fer performed as she most always
does, delightful!
Now that I have typed the above, I think I sent
the same msg yesterday, but can not remember for
sure. :-) Just peeked at my "sent" file. Yep, I
did send one yesterday.
Did some cosmetic work on the left gear leg and
main gear brace. While I was as it, touched up
some other dings around the aircraft. Soon as the
weather straightens up down here, she is going to
Wetumpka Airport for a bath.
Still got to check all the stuff that needs to be
checked on the engine before we load her up and
head 280 degrees for about three days. I play on
landing at Gouldings on or about 17 May, weather
permitting.
Plan to make an op stop at Harrison Field in
Lewisville, Arkansas, the first day out. Richard
Harris has invited me to drop by and try out his
2,800 ft airstrip and hospitality. He is about
426 miles from Gantt International Airport.
Coincidental, but Harrison Field is right on the
heading from Gantt to Double Eagle II Airport,
Albuquerque, NM.
Hope I have a spare set of spark plugs. Normally,
I never need them, but if I head out without a
spare set, I will. Murphy will see to that. I
run Alcor TCP when I go on a steady diet of
100LL. This keeps the lead scavenged out of the
engine and plugs, to a certain extent. Plugs will
still get gooped up at about 75 hours on a 100%
menu of 100LL. Normally it takes a little piece
of saftey wire to clean the lead off and out of
the plugs. Then they are ready to go another 75
or so hours.
We are getting on down there now. Six days and
counting before departure.

Thanks for the many useful replies! The list once again prove's it use.
Now, if the weather in central Jersey would only improve...Bill Varnes has
promised to meet me 1/2 way for a $50 hamburger (These savings proving once
again the economy of owning a Kolb) :)

Hi Gang,
Y'all passed with flying colors. I guess I kind of panicked when I checked
my email and their had been no "Kolb List" emails for a few hours. I was
scared the server went down or some such terrible thing. Don't remember it
being that quite before except on a weekend. Appreciate you fellows taking
the time to get your score.
Later,
John Cooley
