I'm starting to see daylight, but I'm worried that I might forget how to fly before its done ...or die of old age ... or worse have Big Lar beat me into the air. Thanks, Richard Swiderski wish I could help Rich, but I'm glad that you still have your sense of humor, don't ever lose it. Forget everything I said about that 4x8 trailer that I was considering buying on ebay to bring my Firestar to Florida from Ohio. I've concluded a passing truck will just tip me over...booo! The min price to come down by someone else driving something is $1650.....and I say.....boooo! I sure would like to fly it but without a wingman, I'm too sceered, besides, I don't trust my health. Am considering even selling it up here and building a firefly down there. Will be comin back down in about a week, I guess....I hope I have a conclusion before then.

    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Dave & Eve Pelletier" <pelletier@cableone.net> ----- Original Message ----- From: JIM HEFNER Subject: Much better Monument Valley picture viewing Folks, I finally found a better way to share pictures with others. It's free, so no reason not to have lots of great photos to show off in full screen slideshow mode. When you get to the website (link below), push the start slideshow button and you may want to pause it after it gets going and advance the pictures manually, unless you have very high speed internet service.... faster than DSL. The wait time on the slide show doesn't count picture load time. There is no commentary here, but the picture viewing quality is much better than the MSN photoware I have been using. Think this is the same outfit the BigLar uses, but think he has the upgrade version and adds commentary. http://jhefner.photosite.com/MV2004/ Checkout these pictures from a recent flight into Arivipa Canyon, within 10 miles of my home airport. Hard to beat the beauty of flying around AZ!! http://jhefner.photosite.com/Flying/ John H, we'll be following your trip and hope to see lots of great pic's when you return!! Good luck and fly safe!! Take care ya'll!! Jim Hefner Tucson, AZ FF#022 PS: John Williamson, I don't have everyone's email address that was at MV, so feel free to send to anyone not on list above. I'm not able to post to the Kolb list... spam filter gets me everytime. Anyone that can post, feel free to post this if you think it's worthwhile for others to see the pictures and picture website info.

However, all of them use a position of up 9 degrees on the bottom of the wing (from back to front) for weight and balance determinations. Suspect wherever +9 degrees puts the fuselage will be "level". Tom Kuffel Whitefish, MT Building Original FireStar (when they stop cutting on my feet)

    06/30/2004 12:20:09 PM --> Kolb-List message posted by: Erich_Weaver@URSCorp.com I think Boyd's idea of meeting up at Bryce Canyon Natl Park is an excellent one. Southern Utah is filled with beautiful places, and this is definitely one of them. Bryce will also offer some additional outdoor activities for both flying and non-flying family members. As nice as Monument Valley is, activities for non-flying participants were pretty much limited to car tours of the valley. Bryce might attract a few more family members with all of its great hiking areas. Erich Weaver

    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "G. Thompson" <eagle1@commspeed.net> I also second Boyd's idea of Bryce Canyon. And if you check out the map, Zion National is only an ultralight flight from there. It would be relatively easy to hit two parks in the single outing. What do you all think? And then too, maybe Boyd would give an old tired Eagle another ride in his beautiful bird. Az.

    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "John Williamson" <kolbrapilot@comcast.net> I understand what everyone is saying about the beauty and varied things to do at Bryce Canyon and any of the other parks. For me it is not much fun and the pictures aren't very good when you have to stay 2000 feet above the surface or the upper-most rim of a canyon or valley. For me, I will visit the National Parks and other charted areas while on a road trip. The rest of this country is fair game at FAA minimum altitudes.

The plans call for 3 washers on top of the front & back lord mounts. What are your experiences? Any high thrust line issues? I would like to go to a 68" prop, plans call for 66". Anyone go to 68" or higher diameter? Richard Swiderski

    Subject: Update on Ms.Dixie
    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Paul Petty" <Lynnp@c-gate.net> Hi Kolbers, I have completed the fix to the fuselage. Getting a handel on the new TIG machine. TNK had missed two welds on the airframe and I plan on adding several tabs for rivnuts for screws to be able to remove the nose cone for easy accsess to the panel as Mark German did. The Jig has payed off big time. Last night we (my welding instructor and I) were able to stand jig/fuselage on end for better position to TIG the missed welds. This jig will also pay off in preping the fuselage for painting. After a call to Travis today to price brake pedals, I learend that my gear legs were made from the wrong stock. This was discovered in a recent mishap of a Kolbra pilot bending the gear. Turns out, the legs should have been .125" wall thickness instead of .100". Replacements are on the way as soon as TNK gets the new stock. Great folks up there at TNK. Tonight I plan to complete the tube seal on the last three sections and the door frame. I snapped some pretty cool photos and will share with you all.

    --> Kolb-List message posted by: The Kuffels <kuffel@cyberport.net> Giovanni, <<prop had been changed .. I have to go through the FSDO and fill out a form, etc. What is the proper procedure?>> What you first must do is find out if *your* FSDO thinks your prop change is a "major modification". Write them and see what they say. If the answer is yes then send them a formal notice telling them exactly what the change is and asking for recertification guidance. Most times they will send you a letter stating a test period of x hours in a given test area. When you have done the testing you make a logbook entry, usually with the phrase they give you about "no adverse characteristics". At worse, they will want to inspect the aircraft again just like its initial certification but this is very unlikely for just a prop change. Tom Kuffel Whitefish, MT Building Original FireStar

You should be fine with a 68 inch prop, if you have a deep enough reduction, I would go all the way to 70" myself.
