In fact, the last night out on my return from Alaska and Oshkosh, 2001, I spent the night, on the tarmac, under the wing of my Mark III. Did not realize you were in close proximity to Barkley. I'll probably end up there again this year on the return from Oshkosh. Lake Barkley State Park Airport is an excellent place to stop for fuel, food, and/or lodging. They have a hot line in the FBO to the hotel. Will send a van up to the airport to pick you up. Have excellent breakfast in the hotel resturant. Have never been through there when I could sample lunch and dinner. john h DO NOT ARCHIVE ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 07:11:00 AM PST US From: "Ron or Mary" Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Trip --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Ron or Mary" I actually live on Kentucky Lake about 2 miles south of the dam. That is about 25 miles east of Paducah. The Kentucky Lake State Park lodge has an airport also just to the west of Kentucky dam that is about 4 miles from my home. Barkley Lodge is not to much farther. Give me a call and I will pick you up. Have guest accomadations in my house for one over night couple also.

I changed to some bright LEDs to reduce the current. The mod can be seen on the bottom of: http://www.thirdshift.com/jack/firefly/firefly74.html Also, I attended an air show at Cape Girardeau, Missouri, and some photos can be seen at: http://www.thirdshift.com/jack/firefly/firefly97.html And, I found a new gas can that will let me refuel the FireFly without the aid of a funnel, extra tubing or transfer pump.

I finally took a small file and sandpaper to the drum pads. By buffing them with sandpaper, reinstalling and turning, you can see the shiny parts where the pads rub. Then I filed and sanded again until they turned pretty well. Seems like it was only by the mounting point for the pads opposite the activating cam. Much better now.

Plan to depart first thing in the morning, weather permitting, for Oshkosh via: London, KY Greenwood, IN Mentone, IN Lansing, MI Linden, MI Gaylord, MI St Ignace, MI Sault St Marie, MI Marquette, MI Iron Mountain, MI Oshkosh, WI And, of course the return flight south to hauck's holler. About 2,200 sm. Aprx'ly 29.3 hours. 146.6 gal of fuel. Normally, there will be no requirement for oil or spark plugs. I'll have everything I need to survive for a couple weeks on board the MK III. Other than an occassional hot meal, refill of my three 1 liter water bottles, and fuel, I am pretty much independent to go.......... The 912S has 504.5 hours and the MK III has 1,850.7 hours. Along with the old 1994 Garmin 95XL, I have seven sectionals for this flight. Weather here has been rotten for flying. Hopefully, it will clear up and I will be good to go in the morning. I'll see some of you along my flight route, and others at Oshkosh.

(the wife called it a circus curtain...arghhh)....I have lots more pics to add to the website...just been awful busy..maybe after OshKosh If ya saw the website....then you saw how i laid it out first...with pinstripe tape and such....when you get it all red and white, you peel it all and do the shading with an airbrush...or a small gun that can shoot a extra fine pattern at a low rate. BTW all that paint cost me some weight fer sure....MT shes 299 with battery an brakes and 2.5 gallons a gas. .

They only need it when they are actually reloading so borrowing it for several days is usually easy. The conversion factor from grains to grams is strange (15.432 grains = 1 gram) but mostly you are looking for equal, right? Use equal lengths of fishing line to hang the part(s) from the pan. Only real problem is this only works for relatively small parts. Tom Kuffel Whitefish, MT Building Original FireStar
