Since it is a slow afternoon and totally unfit for aviation due to embedded
thunderstorms in the area, I thought I would clean up my web page a bit.
Here is the link to some MKIII door braces.

Hi All:
Got home from Monument Valley last Friday morning at 0800 CDT. Been
busier than a one armed paper hanger ever since.
Getting ready to fly to Brunswick, GA, Monday. Will return, most
likely, Wednesday.
Anyone in the area along my route of flight got time for a cup of
coffee, let me know bc. We can make arrangements to stop and visit.
Draw a line on the Wal*Mart Road Atlas from about 25 miles north of
Montgomery, AL, to Brunswick, GA, and that will be my route of flight.
A few statistics reference my flight out West and back:
Duration: 12 days (10-21 May 2004)
Miles flown: 3,513.0 sm
Hours flown: 46.7
Fuel burned: 224.0 gals
Moving average speed: 80.0 mph
Highest ground speed: 120.3 mph
Highest airport landed: Same as John Williamson.
Red carpets: Both John W and I were given red carpets when we landed
at Farmington, NM. That was definitely a first. Not long after, we
discovered why we got the red carpets, free coffee, and a late model
courtesy car: $3.58 a gal for 100LL.
My highest altitude was 13,300 feet crossing the Continental Divide
between Alamosa, CO, and Farmington, NM.
Temperature at 13,300 feet indicated on OAT was 15F.
Highest cross wind: Canon City, CO, 37 mph. Needless to say, I did
not land on the runway, but on an old stretch of gravel inside the
runway and taxiway. Once at the fuel pump, with the line boy hanging
on the right wing tip, the MKIII levitated, getting the right main
gear off the ground about a foot. After it happened the second time,
with John W, the line boy, and me trying to keep her on the ground, we
decided to refuel the next morning.
Had an excellent flight, despite the direct cross winds and head
winds. This flight encountered winds higher than I have ever flown
in, to the best of my knowledge, since I soloed 36 years ago.
In addition, we encountered a snow storm while flying out of Buena
Vista, CO, and had our airplanes covered with frost in the 26F air at
the Alamosa, CO, airport the next morning.
I have not had a chance to download my pictures from the camera. As
soon as I do, I will post them on my index page for all to see. Will
try to keep them small for those of us who still use dial up modem.
Good to be home, good to visit old friends, and make new ones.

MKIII - 2,039.7 hours
912ULS - 693.8 hours
BTW: I installed a new fuel pump and gasket yesterday. Test flew,
then changed oil and filter, and test flew again. No apparent oil
leak. Gunked the engine and gear box, test flew hard. Clean as a
whistle. Hauck's face still has a smile on it. I developed an oil
leak first day out of Gantt IAP. It leaked for the next 12 days. To
look at the engine, prop, radiator and oil coolers, and the tail of
the aircraft, one would think I would losing a quart an hour. In
reality, I added one full quart in 46.7 hours. A couple of times,
overfilling the oil tank. This was the quart of Valvoline Durablend I
borrowed from John Bickem last year when we flew to Kitty Hawk and the
Kolb Home Coming. I bought it to replace the quart I borrowed. Sorry
I had to use it John B, but I was thinking about you. I have also
changed over to Valvoline Durablend Semi-Synthetic 20W-50 for the
added benefit of suspending the lead from 100LL in the oil. Something
that 100% full synthetic oil will not do.

John W. - Dittos comments by Don G., Bob D. and Lar. Great pictures and
travelogue. I scanned and e-mailed you some 35mm pictures I took of Kolbers
in the campground area, flight line and take-offs. I hope you can add them
to your collection.
Jim, Jonathan and I appreciated the rides, "tech-talk" and meeting

Folks,
Where is the kit/frame number located on the cage, in this case a FireFly?
It was originally purchased from the old Kolb company.
