Kolbers,
I know that many are out having fun flying to MV so this is one for the guys that
are like me. Ground bound. Reading June 2004 issue of "Kit planes" on page
60 in the "Completions section" There is an article of Greg Henry's "Kolb Challenger
II. WTF? Is this a typo or has TNK been up to something we don't know about?
hehehe.

I guess this has been hashed over many times already, but what are the
definitive Weight & Balance numbers for the Kolb TwinStar?
It seems that the plans are lacking in that area.
regards,
Daryl H.

Paul,
For some people all bulldozers are caterpillars
and all cattle are cows therefore all ultra light type airplanes must be
Kolbs.

Lar and photographers
I photographed the "slot-canyons" near Page in 2000. They are spectacular,
well worth the trip!

Ol' Lar's been busy on the phone, and here's some food for thought for those
who're coming to Monument Valley THIS WEEK. You may have seen pictures of
the slot canyons near Page, AZ. For a good introduction, enter "Antelope
Canyon," and/or "Corkscrew Canyon" in a search engine. I've arranged with
Navajo Tours to go on the 2 hour photographers tour of Antelope Canyon at
11:00 AM on Monday, the 17th. I spoke with Dalvin at 1-928-698-3384.
Last year, I believe it was Erich Weaver and his wife and daughter who went
on a 1/2 day raft trip from Glen Canyon Dam to Lee's Ferry, on the Colorado
River. This is thru Marble Canyon - the beginning of the Grand Canyon, and
the scenery is spectacular. For a very good look at it, go onto my website,
click on "Traveling," then click on "Vacation 2002," then on "Grand Canyon."
That was when I took my little 15' boat on just that trip, and the idea of
relaxing on a raft and really enjoying it appeals very strongly. I spoke
wi!
th a very pleasant lady named Jean, at Wilderness Outfitters -
1-985-534-3474, and made reservations for a 1/2 day trip leaving Page on
their bus at 7:30 AM on Tuesday, the 18th. They take you thru a 2 mile
tunnel and launch at the base of the dam, (that's gotta be an adventure in
itself ! ! !) then float 15 miles down to Lee's Ferry, (it's an easy float -
no big rapids) pick you up, and bring you back to Page. Cost is $59.00 for
adults, and $49.00 for kids under 12. My photographer's handbook shows some
very interesting scenery to the SE of Page, so I'll fill Monday afternoon
with that. Anyone want to join me ?? Make your own reservations ! ! !
Lookin' Forward Lar.

I hope John was not hurt. I have been there and have the t-shirt.
I ran out of fuel once when on approach to our local airport in my
quicksilver. I had some friend watching. I made the end of the runway,
but had to walk back to my hanger 1/2 mile down the taxiway to get a can
of fuel. I must say it was very embarrassing.;) Turning red.

Paul, must be a hybrid. Just kidding, but an early experimental, also
a pusher,
The Breezy used whatever wings happened to be hanging in the barn when the
frame was done. I remember a summer evening at a strip in Maryland where
an immensely obese fellow was shooting T&G's. That guy was so smooth
and the breezy so slow, it was a delight to watch. -BB do not archive

Hi Gang,
Can someone expand on this post? Did John B. have a problem? If
something came through the Kolb list about it I did not receive
anything. Help!
Later,
John Cooley

Paul P got a report off the FAA accident wire that John B ran out of fuel
and put down in a field in Texas I think.
By the sounds of the report he was uninjured and the Mk-3 only suffered
slight damage.

Ralph,
You replied that I had the right oil when I said I had mobile 1
Synthetic gear lubricant 75w-90. Do you know for sure that is the same viscosity
you
used? Rotax calls for 85W-140EP. How bout it fellers, Anybody else using
75W-90 Mobile 1 synthetic gear lube for any length of time with success? Ive
looked over half of Houston for the 75- 140 Mobil 1synthetic lube with no luck.
Couldnt find nuttin in the archives on it either.
