Got suspicious and checked the tall weeds now grown in the runway and found the telltale tracks of an airplane. Talked to the neighbor and found that John Hauck had indeed spent a night here while I was away. Darn!!!! Sure would have liked to have gotten a pic of Miss P-fer sitting on my runway.

I've been working on the plane this morning...and avoiding those brake cables that run from the wheel thru the (ripped) fabric on the cage.... I think those 90 degree bends that Richard Pike (and I ) used for the cables to the carbs would work good at getting a tight enough bend to run the brake cable up the axle and avoid the dreaded "TRIPPING , RIPPING , LOOPS" ...... I know there are others that have ripped their fabric too..... I'm working on installing an airspeed indicator right now..... but I'll be changing over the brake cable soon. One good thing is , the cable will be shorter so it can be done with just a little cutting of the existing set-up....just thought I'd share the Idea. Gotta Fly...

It was a relatively uneventful trip except for the spectacular scenery and a challenging airstrip. I have now landed the Kolbra in all of the lower 48 States. I got to fly with a great group of pilots: -- John Hauck, Kolb Mark III -- Scott Trask, Kolb Mark III, put me up in his house and let me use his "airstrip" -- Rick Neilsen, Kolb Mark III -- Lloyd Cudnohufsky, Kit Fox These guys put up with me and made the flight leg into Oshkosh even more memorable. While at Scott's place, Aaron Gustafson flew his nice blue and yellow FireStar in for use to check out. I also got to visit with Bill and Anna Vincent. Bill flies a FireStar. The flight was met at Oshkosh by Mary Jones (Editor of the 'Experimenter' magazine) and an EAA photographer. They took photos and later conducted an interview about my trips in the Kolbra. We were also greeted by Ray Brown of TNK and treated very generously. The whole crew at TNK was great as usual. While at the Ultralight area at Oshkosh I got to meet: John and Kathy Jung, John flies a FireStar. Larry and Judy Gitt, Larry flies the only other customer built Kolbra in the world. Tim Bjork. who is building a FireStar 2. Several others that I am sorry to say I have forgotten their names. Here are the stats for this trip: Distance: 2580.2 nm (3280 sm) Flight time: 39 hours 36 minutes Max ground speed: 112.9 knots (129.9 mph) Average ground speed: 65.2 knots (75 mph) Landings; 23 I have just completed updating this trip on my website, so please visit and look at the photos.
