Monument Vally Group,
I have reservations to camp, and I'll be bringing my Firestar in a
trailer. Looking forward to seeing the area from the air, as well as
visiting with fellow Kolb flyers.
Thanks to all that offered advise on insurance. I am getting insurance
through the USUA program. It seems strange that my plane needs to be
registered twice, but the savings are significant. I needed the
insurance soon, anyway because it is a requirement to get a hanger at
Buckeye.

Hi fellow Kolb builders,flyers,
Just before heading to the shop, I thought I would share a thought that came to
mind about this network of Kolb builders/flyers we have.
Having others over to look over your work is a major plus. Even though your fellow
Kolb brother may rag you with your approach to the building process, we can
all learn from one another. Be it, what to do, or what not to do, it's still
an important part of the building process.
I had the pleasure of having Will Uribe over this past weekend and learned from
him to place the AN bolts into the lift strut tang before riveting it and bolting
it to the spar! Well I turned to my complotted wing on the wall and said
"Oops" These type of things are nowhere in the plans.
Every time someone visits me I learn something about this kit. Pick up on a trick
or a better way to make a part. It's amazing!
John Williamson is planning on dropping in here on the way back from Sun$Fun and
I can only dream of what he will be able to offer.
One has to think of this process as a matter of (Building an Aircraft). Kit aircraft
companies go thought several different people in their history making parts
and airframes. So this would make our airplanes (No two are alike custom birds)
At any rate, the fine folks at TNK have stepped up at every request and performed
flawlessly. I hade a slight problem with a part on my fuselage today and Travis
and Bryan nailed it and the right stuff is on the way!
Correction, I stated earlier that the Kolbra had no gap seal. Wrong! It does have
a small one but most fly the Kolbra aircraft before making one and there is
no mention of it in the comic book.... sorry Travis...hehe had to go there.
Anyone heard from Kenneth Reeves? He Figure out that machine yet?

Paul,
I don't think Ken's e-mail is working. I've tried several times to get
through with no luck. I gave up and just called him. That was about a month
or so ago.

One thing you might add on an Ultrastar is a safety line of some sort
so that if a shoulder belt somehow gets unlatched and behind you, it
won't go all the way back to the prop. The shoulder strap got away
from brother Mike once, but luckily didn't go all the way to the prop,
maybe cuz it was hooked around his neck --- somehow that didn't
decrease his pucker factor during the incident. :)
On my firestar I use some 3/4" wide, fairly thick climber's webbing to
attach shoulder harnesses to the crosstube that is approximately behind
pilot's shoulders. This avoids using bolts, etc, so may be helpful.

Bill Rayfield et al:
Ditto to Ben's caution about the shoulder belts getting into the prop on the
Ultrastar.
We had a fellow at our field who used a wide, 4 point (race car type) on his
Ultrastar. In doing some testing/tweaking/adjusting on the ground one day,
he got in and out of the US several times. In the last taxi back to the
take the runway and fly, he secured his lap belts for the taxi, but failed
to connect the shoulder harness.
Going to full throttle, at about 20-25 feet off the ground, both shoulder
harnesses were sucked into the prop, destroying it; ripped both the carb and
the muffler off the engine; and threw fragments of detached parts through
the ailerons and the wings. Not a pretty sight. The good news is that he
continued to fly the plane, landed immediately/safely and was not injured.
Fun, Safe Flying!

George, thanks for the heads up on the loose baggage subject.
....whether an US , FS, or MkIII, any junk flopping out of a Kolb
could cause a problem and I for one shall pay more attention
to that. Sectionals and baseball caps aren't much threat but
nylon straps/buckles might slow down progress. I mentioned
on my first flight nearly losing a small floor mat to the swamps below.
Going to have velcro or glue on everything now. -BB do not archive
