With the price of auto gas here in Alabama, there is not much difference between 100LL and auto fuel, $1.75 to 1.80 for 93 octane.

Hope you all have a good time and look forward to seeing some reports on the list. Clive Hatcher Mk III / 582 Do not archive -----Original Message----- Time: 07:58:11 AM PST US From: "Johann" Subject: RE: Kolb-List: Sun and Fun Accamodations --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Johann" Hello John and list members. I am also looking forward to meeting with all you Kolb pilots and wannabe Kolb pilots. I had a great time when we all got together. We will be looking on the internet for some accomodations, but if someone has a good experiance with some motel or a place they could reccomend to us, it would be great. We will not want to impose on anyones hospitality and stay at a private home. Just a clean and a fair priced motel or a hotel will be just fine. This is something that has to be done in good advance. Look forward to pursuade Brian to give me that Kolbra ride I missed out on last time do to too much wind. Hope we will get a perfect ultralight conditions weather. Best wishes, Johann G. Iceland. Do not archive. P.s. Hi Clive, will you be joining us this year? And Larry, I would like to see your plane at the ultralight area. Is it too far to fly from your home? ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 08:32:34 AM PST US From: "Bill Elder" Subject: Re: Kolb-List: MK3 Extra --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Bill Elder" Hey Big Lar. After all the talk about the tax bill from the state, I had made plans for the $1500-2000 I figured I'd have to pay in Colorado. No bill arrived and upon checking with some plane buddies, it appears Colorado doesn't levy this tax. This is the only good money news I received during this retirement fund depletion project!!!

For those who don't know who the Raiders are, they are the group of volunteers that handle garbage disposal at S&F. Raiding is the most fun you can have while working your butt off and is a neat way to see the "entire" show while riding on tractor pulled trailers. Between runs you can return to points of interest that you noticed during your pick up runs. Another perk of Raiding is free camping in what I think is the best location on the airport, half way between Paridise City and the main commercial displays, and a short walk from the nicest shower facility on the grounds. Due to our kids now being in school, Linda and I no longer attend but if anyone else is interested I am providing contact info for the Raiders as well as other volunteer groups at S&F. Raiders: Earl Humble 2625 SE 7th Street, Pompano Beach, Florida, 33062-6121 S&F info: 863-644-2431 www.sun-n-fun.org You meet the nicest folks at airshows.

Lots of Kolbers come in on Friday because TNK feeds us Friday night.

One that I remember is a liquid wax made by LP Aeroplastics. Just do a google search to find their website. Also, http://www.wingsandwheels.com/page37.htm carries a number of products for this purpose. I'm not sure that they all work on Lexan, though. Better to check with the respective company. Our on field fiberglass repair specialist has polished out some pretty severe scratches to repair canopies on the gliders. I believe he said he starts out with about 1600 grit sandpaper and goes progressively up to about 2000. Hope that helps.

When I do "slips" I like to push the stick forward quite a bit, I notice when the stick is pushed forward that there is not much aileron deflection. What is the purpose of this?

Not the most desireable, but the way things work out sometimes. I don't believe it was designed into the control system for a specific reason.
