John,
Thanks for posting those beautiful pictures of your flying adventure to and
from MV. That is truly some gorgeous scenery and reminds us of how lucky we
are to live in such a wonderful country in spite of it's faults.
It looks as though there is a lot of "rough" terrain between AL and MV. Do
you always leave yourself "an out" for an emergency landing in the case of
an engine failure when flying over all of that "tiger country"? Or do I
just need to replace my little 2 stroke 503 with a "real" engine and stop
worrying about it? ;
)
The photos around Sandia Peak were of particular interest to me. I flew
hang gliders off the peak many years ago so it brought back good memories of
that area.
Looking forward to your photos of the Big trip to Alaska.
Fly Safely,
Doug Lawton

I am amazed you got it for that price. We bought one a few years ago and I
still have the invoice for a lot more than that. Maybe it was because we got
the whole kit #2? Not sure.

John H and others,
Looking at those pics, a helicopter rescue would be the only way out in some those
places in the even of an engine failure.
I haven't been keeping up on the list that much lately, but didn't John Jung fly
his 503 into MV? Now that is a great accomplishment!
Were there any other 2-strokers that flew many miles to get there?

This looks like a decent deal....although it says "rotax" in the ad, I don't
think it is included. -BB do not archive

For those that have an aircraft too small for the 912, here's something to
ponder:
talked to Chuck Slusarczyk, designer of the CGS Hawk
at the indoor model meet in Johnson City last week, and he was very happy
with the results of the HKS engine, and it's reliability. Thought it was an
excellent unit and quite bulletproof.
Said it made a bit more power than a 503, but not as much as a 582.
Just for what it's worth...

No, John trailered his FireStar into MV, then demonstrated extreme climb
capability with it. See my webpage. Lar.

Listers,
Another milestone reached today. The DAR signed my off my FS and issues the airworthiness
certificate. He said everything looked great, no problems. Many thanks
to all those who helped with ideas and suggestions over the last 21 months
of building, especially John Hauck who made several visits to my workshop to
make sure I was doing things right. Many of you made contributions to my success
without even knowing it starting as far back as 1996. Web sites of Ben Ransom,
Will Uribe, and Kip Laurie were great motivators. Thanks again.

Hey, well done. Congratulations. It's the best part of the list, to hear
about new planes getting certified and flown. Probably don't need to tell
you to be careful - let us know how she flies.

Hi James/Gang:
Was my pleasure to help a little in the construction of your Kolb.
Helped me as much as it did you.
James inspector, John Bergen, did the inspection on my MKIII 12 years
ago. I chatted with him a short time on the phone today after James
inspection was complete. We are fortunate to have people like John
Bergen, and Lloyd Prost who gave James and me our PVT check rides.
Good luck with your new bird. Fly safe and enjoy it.
