--> Kolb-List message posted by: "Larry Bourne" <biglar@gogittum.com>
Day late again ! ! ! I stopped for the night (Thursday) at Jim & Marcie Walbridge's
Haleeka Park Campground, near Williamsport, PA., and noticed a Sporty's
catalog on the sign in desk. You can guess where the conversation went from there.
Turns out that Finkhaven Airport is just up the way, and Jim drove me up
there to meet Jim Fink, and show me around. What a beautiful, smooth grass
strip. 2600 ft, I think he said. There also turns out to be 2 Kolbs tied there;
1 looks like a Mk II, and the other a FireStar. (I think - they're both
covered) He thinks one is owned by Doc Welsh, and the other by Mr. Sims. Does
that ring any bells ?? There's also 3 Acro-Sports, 2 Pietenpols, several others,
and - - - a 4 seat Luscombe, with the bubble windshield. They're just starting
restoration on it. What a beauty ! ! ! Apparently they have a get together
every Wed. afternoon - yesterday (of course) - and have a good old time.
Seems like someone mentioned that they live in PA, but I can't find the message.
I'll be going to Winchester, VA tomorrow, then to West-by-god-Virginia.
Seems like there's another Kolb-er in WV...........?? Sorry about losing messages
- the spam has been so heavy lately that I can hardly keep it sorted out,
and if I delete it by mistake, there's no finding it again. After WV., I'll
head to NE Tennessee, for 2 visits. Who'm I forgetting ?? I had planned on
Baltimore, too, but haven't heard from the people there, so maybe not. We'll
see. I would like to see the Chesapeake country, but it'll mean a lot of criss-crossing.
I do plan on Kitty Hawk, so will be criss-crossing anyway, so................???

Paul,
I haven't seen anything on the Kolb list lately regarding your research on
the Harley EVO. I'm still very interested in learning/ sharing more
information that may help to make this a viable aircraft engine. Please let
me know of any updates. Thanks.

www.c-gate.net/ppetty or click right here
www.c-gate.net/ppetty/TestRun032303.wmv it took me about 12 minutes to
download. For those of you on cable or DSL it should load fast!! It's 25
seconds long and 1.5 meg in size. The video shows a warm start with a run up
to 3500 RPM. I ran it today for about 30 minutes @ 3500 RPM and then did
some WOT from idle and really romped on it and everything worked ok. I think
I am going to move it over to a bigger trailer and run it up to 4000 RPM and
let it run for a hour next run. Well that's all for now off to the airport
for a lesson. 14 knot headwinds here today. Should be interesting!

Bob, make sure you have hard ground for Lar's truck, it has a tendency
to sink into the grass. When I took him up to the "viewing" of my Kolb
he asked "where's your runway?" Insulted, I pointed to the path through
the cornfield we had just drove down. I flew out of there in my Aironickee
for 25 years, if a Kolb can't handle it I'll put it up for sale.
Anyway when I unveiled the plane he clutched his breast and swooned in
ecstasy. -or maybe it was just a stab of pain from his arthritic knee.

--> Kolb-List message posted by: Jim Clayton <jspc78@yahoo.com>
Greeting Kolbers,
Traveled to Oshkosh last week and bought a Mark 3
Xtra! After six months of research and endless
e-mails to Linda at Kolb, I was ready to see and fly
the Xtra. The flight went great, with no surprises
(thanks, Norm). Had the pleasure to meet some of you
folks on this list: John Hauck, John Williamson, Rick
Nielsen, Don Gherardini, Terry and your wife Pat
(sorry, I don't recall your last name) and several
other whose names I don't recall. You guys were so
very helpful, offering your experience and vast
knowledge of all things Kolb, and I appreciate all of
you putting up with my endless questions and picture
taking of your planes! Visited with the crew at Kolb,
hanging around all week, peppering everyone with
endless questions, and they were very friendly,
helpful AND patient :-) My thanks to everyone!
Through this process I decided to go with the ailerons
and flaps, instead of the flaperons, on the Xtra cage,
and planning to run the 912S. I can't wait to start
on kit #1 which should arrive in three weeks or so!
For now I'm looking at air powered rivet guns, and
other tools to get my little garage ready.
-Jim

Jim/Gang:
Jim is either a trial lawyer or research
scientist. Never had so many questions popped at
me about my airplane and Kolb aircraft. I believe
Jim C is responsible for causing me to refresh my
memory of many details, long forgotten, in the
building and flying of Kolb airplanes.
Not knocking you Jim. Only kidding. Most all of
us learned about building and flying Kolb aircraft
from many, many questions, hours of looking at
what the factory brought to Lakeland or Oshkosh.
I can remember quite vividly taking hundreds of
pictures at Sun and Fun 1984, of the shiney new
Kolb Ultrastar, piloted by a youngster by the name
of Dennis Souder. That little airplane
outperformed anything in the UL area at S&F that
year. The next year, 1985, the new Kolb Firestar
was debuted. I had already ordered and paid the
$3,495.00 for my complete Ultrastar kit just prior
to going to S&F '84, which was held in March in
the early years. Had received plans and
construction manual prior to departure for
Lakeland. When I returned home from Lakeland,
there was a note from UPS telling me he had
dropped off most of my kit, to include engine, at
the local country store three miles up the road.
Times were good.

You're just now getting that feeling ?? Why'dja think I left Michigan so
fast ?? I did have a good visit with Bob Bean, tho', (but he's in New York)
in spite of him trying to keep the diesel Dodge by shangai-ing it in the
soft grass, and drown me in the thunderstorms. I'm at Bob Noyer's (the
Grey Baron) in Virginia right now, and it's being another great visit. See
what all you other characters missed by hiding at OSH ?? Sociable
