That picture is worthy of a painting. That image is exactly why I enjoy
flying ultralights especially Kolbs. By the way, I have enjoyed everyone of
your posting of late. They really keep me motivated on building the MKIII
X.
John W.
I was on your web site yesterday and really enjoyed reading about your trip
to the NE again. It keeps me focused on my project and generates many
ideas.

Hey Guys,
Linda at Kolb wrote me and told me my new web site ( building my Firestar
II ) is going to be put on the Kolb web page , in their "Builders Sites.....
She's sending a request to their webmaster.
She said that I had quite a bit of detail , and it should cover alot of questions
that someone might have.
I thought that was pretty cool....

Hi Gang:
Bill Vincent, genuine Yooper from Iron Mountain, MI, or there abouts, sent
me a couple pics of Rick Trader at Sun and Fun 1992. I volunteered to post
them to my index page.
This is Rick on the left and Bill Vincent signing his tail section.

And this is Rick's Twinstar modified to look like a pregnant MKII.

I met Rick Trader at Sun & Fun - I think it was a year before he left on
his trip;
it might have been two years before.
He was talking to us (The Possums from Hell) about what he wanted to do.
We thougt we were "bad asses" back then.
He seemed like a nice guy - but really didn't know a lot about utralights
or engines.
We tried to explain to him abut how the engines were really not that really
reliable.
How what he was talking about was not something that was really feasible.
How it was hard enough to just get to Sun & Fun & Back from "Atlanta".
Heck back in the late 80's and early 90's you were
doing something if you just got there.
But he didn't listen - and see where it got him.
I also got to see his plane when he got back with all the signatures on it.
He kind of used it up on that adventure. But it was worth it.

Gotta be worth a Kolb hat or T shirt!! Autographed by Bruce and the
crew! :-) I know that I get a great bit of inspiration by looking at
well organized and documented web pages. I sometimes wonder when the
builder had time to build, given the time it takes me to do web pages.

Hi All,
Does anyone own a Garmin GPS V, and can let me know if it is any good for fly'in
and general purpose? Also does it show altitude? Walmart in town here has
it on clearance for $298.00.

Hi Bob,
Did you go to their website and check the features? I've used a lot of
aviation-use Garmins, don't know about the V. They're one of the most user-friendly
units
made IMHO.

Hi Ed,
I did go to their website and see no reference to an altitude readout. I
have never been around a GPS before and thought that this would be typical
of almost every gps, am I wrong?

Hi Everyone:
A couple quick pics for Bert Howland's H-2 Honey Bee.
The only other UL I have ever flown, except Kolb's.
This was a real easy, fun airplane to fly. It practically landed by itself.
Keep coming back on the stick. It will land itself, in a nice 3 point
landing. Was powered by a 447 Rotax.

Dennis et al:
There is no shame in trailering to Monument Valley, my friend! The shame
would be to miss it completely. Also makes things a bit more convenient to
have a vehicle around instead of being tied to the plane.I am always amazed
by the long trips done by our two Johns, but for me, its unlikely I will
ever attempt a real cross-the-country trip unless I start flying something
a bit faster than a Kolb.
I can relate to those feelings of uncertainty about venturing out beyond
your comfort zone. No need to over do it - go a little at a time, and pick
your days. What really helps my condfidence is to venture out with a
flying buddy in a plane that is reasonably matched with my own own. A few
words over the radio from a friendly voice can be very comforting at
times, especially if your buddy has done the route before! And its nice to
know that if you were to go down, there will be someone who knows exactly
where you are (make sure you know how to quickly mark a waypoint on the GPS
in-flight, so you can always back track to find your buddy or at least tell
the recue crew exactly where to go!).
Two years ago, Boyd and I met up in Beaver Utah with a few other folks and
started on the way to MV. I was so scared I didnt sleep the night before.
I remember often finding myself as the lead plane, which was startling
given that I had never seen any of this country before, I was pretty much
totally depending on the GPS for navigation, and I couldnt see anybody else
because they were following behind me (Why are they following ME???). I
later joked to Boyd that I felt like the guy in the cell phone commercial,
saying "Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now?" over and over, just so I
could hear someone's voice and reassure myself I was not alone. The group
disintegrated before we got to MV, but I did gain valuable experience and
confidence. It also resulted in me mentioning a possible return trip to MV
on the List sometime later, which ended up being last years trip - so much
fun that we are all gonna do it over again.
Anyway,I still prefer to trailer the longer distances - especially when Im
on my own. See ya on the road pardner.

John,
I have always admired Howlands designs.The tig welded square tube alum
fuselage interests me alot.,,, not to mention they are all so attractive. I
tried to buy an H-1 pegasus with a 503 in fla once...went very cheap...and I
was an hour late...man...I brooded over missing that one for awhile!
That H-2 in your pics is a real beauty!
