Group,
John called here Wednesday night from Rigby, Id. Wants everyone to know
he is well and having fun.
He caught his first cut-throat trout in the Snake river yesterday but it
was too small to keep. Weather permitting, he expects to leave there
Friday and arrive at Glacier International before dark.

I don't know about the rest of the "Wyomingites" (?) but I can sure vouch
for Vic. He drove up from Phoenix (100 one-way miles) to teach me how to
cover my wing. Spent two days doing it. If the rest of the Wyoming folks
are like him, I want to go there. Thanks again Vic.

Mike,
A follow up. I made several trips to the EAA Chapter 453 field and
calibrated the miZer. I am impressed. It really reads very close to the
actual fuel consumed, and one can use it as a gas gauge too.

Boyd,
It suits me - I'm game for anywhere. A one mile walk is no problem,
becsides, many of us will have vehicles anyway. You didn't mention fuel -
that would be a strong consideration. Count me in - I love flying in new
places. (I still plan on return trips to MV in addition to Bryce.)
AzDave
the airport has av gas, i did not fill up at rubys inn.... but i am
quite sure gas is available, i will try to find out and let you know.

Jack/Guys,
That's good to hear Jack...The reason I bought mine was , A fuel guage
and sender was going to cost me OVER $150.00 ...So I figured 300 for the miZer
wasn't really a bad price...to know, Fuel used , Fuel remaining , and Fuel
flow rate ...
The Fuel flow that is added to the EIS isn't cheap either...and it puts more
eggs in the same basket...I like keeping it separate.
I've connected mine and put the Gauge in the dash , but I haven't ran the
engine to check the flow...
Gotta Fly...

For future reference... the Mizer _appears_ to be identical (except for the
name on the faceplate) to the NavMan fuel flow meter, which can be had at
BoatersWorld.com for about $199. I put one in an experimental plane I had
and it worked great... I'm about to order one for my current plane.

Hi All:
So far, so good.
I am in Rigby, Idaho. Have been here since day before yesterday. Today is Day
6 of my flight to Alaska. Learning how to slow down a litle an "smeel the roses".
The flight so far has been great, with the exception of a few days marginal weather
Days 1 and 2.
From Denver, CO, I flew to Leadville, highest aiirport in the North American Continent.
Elevation is 9,927 feet above sea level. I have a lot to learn about
landing and taking off from high altitude airports. A technique, unlike normal
Kolb opertions, is called for. A lot of speed and a long ground run is required
to get a big fat MKIII off the ground. Same procedure for landing, a lot
of speed and a nice and long ground run.
Had a little problem in Rock Springs, CO, but solved it by loading back up in the
airplane and flying 24 miles west to a 7,200 foot high gravel strip on top
of a mesa, Green River Galactec Airport. Seldom used, I had it all to myself.
It was cold, in the 40s F, so up went the tent for the night. Next morning
some city workers from Rock Springs came up, chatted a spell, then offered to
take me into town for coffee. Eagerly, I accepted.
I flew acroos the desert to Big Piney, WY, then on a near direct flight to Rigby,
Idaho, over the Rockies. Required a climb to 10,500 feet to clear the mountain,
but the MKIII and 912S did their job of getting me safely over them and
into Rigby. I can not express to you the excitement of being in this type environment.
The mountains above 8,500 feet showed no signs of humans ever tampering
with them. They were pristine, beautiful, rugged, and extremely high. I
can't wait to get home, load up the Suzuki on the 5th wheel and pull back out
here to spend some time exploring these numeroud mountain roads and trails.
In the morning I will depart for Driggs, ID, up close and personal to the west
side of the Grand Tetons. Then up to West Yellowstone, west to the Continental
Divide, through Lost Trail Pass, a place very familiar to our frineds Tom and
Betty Kuffel, and Valkarie. From there on north to Missoula and finally Whitefish.
Plan to spend a couple days with the Kuffels, then north into Canada.
The airplane is flying great. The 912S hasn't missed a beat and putting out good,
strong, reliable power. I feel very comfortable in my 12 year old Kolb with
well over 2,000 hours on her. I think I have 735 hours on the 912S. I am
20+ hours into this flight. Have used no oil. Burning about 5 to 5.5 gph. Normally
flying at 5,200 rpm, which produces 85 to 90 mph cruise. So far my average
flight speed is 76.6 mph for the entire flight. I plan for 75 mph ground
speed. So this is pretty close.
I'll try to keep ya'll updated on my progress. Someone is hollering to come get
the steaks. Got to go.

George,
Please let me know where exactly you are in Akron,(Which airport). (Phone #)
I would like to try to fly out to see you and your bird before you leave for
Florida.
I am getting Lasik surgery done to my eyes tomorrow, and will be off work
all next week, if I am able maybe me and my son can make a Kolb trip out to
see you .
Denny Rowe, Mk-3 near Pittsburgh, 724-845-1431
Denny, I appreciate the concern in your response, but I think my dilemma is
over. I have purchased a boat trailer with lites, brakes, good big tires with
leaf springs and a guarantee that it will be "right" including good wheel
bearings, for the tiip. My boy has a pickup tlhat has a ball fastened to his frame
instead of the bumper. All these things are positives, even the $800 price tag.
But the part that is even better is that he and I are going to work on it
together as a project to prepare for the tow trip from Champion Ohio to Rich
Swiderski's in Florida, 12 miles from The Villages.Unfortunately, I will be gone
south by next week to take care of stuff there for a month, but I will be
coming back in August, to finalize everything.
You would be more than welcome to fly in with your son when I come back to
Champion, in August, to see what kinda contraption we've put together for the
trip south. Mebbe we could even fly around the patch together before departure.
I have my plane stored in a hangar on a farm owned by a veeeery interesting
engineer friend of mine...he's younger then me, and has a Taylorcraft. what a
nice pup that is. He also has a '39 british 3 wheel morgan car....you've never
seen anything like it, 4 different types of minicoopers, a glider, a BMW
motorcycle a new house and a new british wife(and her kids) We'll wine n dine ya
if
you can come over then
I wanna tell ya Denny, I have been flyin that Firestar up around the
Warren/Champion, Ohio area. since 1993 and have NEVER found anyone else with a
Kolb to
fly with. Almost did once but it never materialized.
I think that is why this list is sooooo important, it brings us crazy folk
together....kinda...and what with the likes of the 2 Johns, we are startin to
get pretty darn close now and I think that is a great improvement over the old
list folk.
please let me know if you like the idea of visitin me in August before I tow
that Firestar south and we'll plan sumpin. Could stay over too.
yer bud in aviation

Dear Lister,
Please read over the Kolb-List Usage Guidelines below. The complete
Kolb-List FAQ including these Usage Guidelines can be found at the
following URL:
http://www.matronics.com/FAQs/Kolb-List.FAQ.html
Thank you,
Matt Dralle
Matronics Email List Administrator
******************************************************************************
Kolb-List Usage Guidelines
******************************************************************************
The following details the official Usage Guidelines for the Kolb-List.
You are encouraged to read it carefully, and to abide by the rules therein.
Failure to use the Kolb-List in the manner described below may result
in the removal of the subscribers from the List.
Kolb-List Policy Statement
The purpose of the Kolb-List is to provide a forum of discussion for
things related to this particular discussion group. The List's goals
are to serve as an information resource to its members; to deliver
high-quality content; to provide moral support; to foster camaraderie
among its members; and to support safe operation. Reaching these goals
requires the participation and cooperation of each and every member of
the List. To this end, the following guidelines have been established:
- Please keep all posts related to the List at some level. Do not submit
posts concerning computer viruses, urban legends, random humor, long
lost buddies' phone numbers, etc. etc.
- THINK carefully before you write. Ask yourself if your post will be
relevant to everyone. If you have to wonder about that, DON'T send it.
- Remember that your post will be included for posterity in an archive
that is growing in size at an extraordinary rate. Try to be concise and
terse in your posts. Avoid overly wordy and lengthy posts and
responses.
- Keep your signature brief. Please include your name, email address,
aircraft type/tail number, and geographic location. A short line
about where you are in the building process is also nice. Avoid
bulky signatures with character graphics; they consume unnecessary
space in the archive.
- DON'T post requests to the List for information when that info is
easily obtainable from other widely available sources. Consult the
web page or FAQ first.
- If you want to respond to a post, DO keep the "Subject:" line of
your response the same as that of the original post. This makes it
easy to find threads in the archive.
- When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in your
response. DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in" the
reader to the topic at hand, but be selective. The impact that
quoting the entire original post has on the size of the archive
can not be overstated!
- When the poster asks you to respond to him/her personally, DO NOT
then go ahead and reply to the List. Be aware that clicking the
"reply" button on your mail package does not necessarily send your
response to the original poster. You might have to actively address
your response with the original poster's email address.
- DO NOT use the List to respond to a post unless you have something
to add that is relevant and has a broad appeal. "Way to go!", "I
agree", and "Congratulations" are all responses that are better sent
to the original poster directly, rather than to the List at large.
- When responding to others' posts, avoid the feeling that you need to
comment on every last point in their posts, unless you can truly
contribute something valuable.
- Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your tone
polite and respectful. Don't make snide comments, personally attack
other listers, or take the moral high ground on an obviously
controversial issue. This will only cause a pointless debate that
will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing.
