--> Kolb-List message posted by: <timwarlick@bellsouth.net>
I am starting to install the BRS canister type parachute on my Mark 3 Classic.
It appears that the modifications to my gap seal are going to be significant since
the parachute bracket is mounted to the frame tube just in front of the gap
seal attachment point. Does anyone have pictures or suggestions on gap seal
modifications?

George,
Excellent presentation! Thank you so very much. It was great to see all of you
having so much fun and peek into history. Is this the original home place of Kolb
aircraft? The strip looks a lot like the one in the old Kolb video. Trees
have grown quite a bit...
Thanks again

George,
Here all this time since the NE gathering, I have been enjoying the Great
memories of sharing the flight to Wellsville and back with Linda, not really
too disappointed that the weather delays and winds discouraged us from
pressing on to Homers place on Saturday afternoon. Happy with all the great
Kolbers and other folks we met at Shreeveport North.
Now this web page you built shows me how much we missed!!
Wow, nice job on the page, but Boy, did you have to make it look sooo good?
:-)
Well, I guess there will always be next year to shoot for, I can hardly wait
to see what causes me to fall short of my expectations this time. :-(
I'll bet on crappy weather now to mimimize my dissapointment.
Seriously,
What a great sight, thanks for sharing the photos and a big salute to all
the fine folks who made it such an event to remember.

Paul,
Yes,
That is the birth place of all things Kolb up until the Kolbra and Mk-3
Extra, looking at the Kolb homestead I can't imagine a more wonderful place
for such a creative mind to flourish.
Talk about a class act through and through, not to mention an extreamly hard
worker.
Homer is the real deal.

parachute
--> Kolb-List message posted by: Richard Pike <richard@bcchapel.org> parachute
I have been looking at a similar situation of a FSII I am building and will
be trying the following: It will have a fixed gap seal so that I can
waterproof around the mounting brackets, It will be in two pieces, a front
half and a back half that come together and overlap around the brackets and
once installed, will only need to be removed for serious maintenance. There
will be a narrow strip of aluminum for each wing to fit between the gap
seal and the wing which you install and remove when you put the wings off
and on, probably spring loaded to hold it into place. If it works out
easily enough, I will duplicate it for the MKIII, because the gap seal on
that one is a real pain.

List,
John landed at Glacier Park International (KFCA) about 5pm yesterday.
Weather was beautiful, puffy white clouds with easily avoided scattered
thunder showers. He said his trip up from Ruby, ID was one of his best
ever.
Since then he has relaxed, downloaded his digital camera to CD, played
ball with Valkyrie (he quit before she was tired) and helped us cripples
with some manual labor.
Weather forecast makes it likely he will take off for Canada on Monday.
Until then we will do our best to keep him from getting bored or worn
out. Meanwhile, shame on all you other fellows who backed out of taking
this trip with John. Its gonna be a great one.

OK, you want pictures? I have pictures of my trip from Mechanicville, NY to

I hope the link will work for you. There is a 'download photos' link from

It's good to hear you're a little more mobile now. Maybe you-all could cook
an extra Kuffel Cake for the ol' Lar while you're at it. Good Luck to the
Hauck..............wish I coulda joined him.
I had a very nice 1 1/2 day visit with my old friend Bill Herren in
Pineville, LA and then inflicted myself on Tom Coggin in Cullman, AL for 3
days while I waited for a new camera. He's an excellent host, as well as
being the proud owner of a hot rod RV6. We had 2 great flights, and I'm
addicted. Then spent 1 1/2 days at Okefenokee Swamp. Neat place.

Hay Guys:
A year ago I made a trip to Utah and stopped to see Boyd young. he graciously took
me to the airport and gave me a ride in his MKIII. and whale there got a photo
op in the seat of the university's Wright flyer. I have to admit I was a
little shaken by the ride. as we taxied to the runway all seemed normal, but as
we roared skyward we made an abrupt move across the runway that put a lump in
my throat. Well ----- Uncle craig actually got the F'in airplane of the deck
today July 3 2004, but not without some hair razing tail rattling experiences.
ground looped twice (Boyd I'm nor talking about a little wind pushing you off
center) IM TALKING ABOUT A FULL BLOWN GROUND LOOP'S off the runway and in the
weeds, sage brush, GROUND LOOPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I WAS DEPRESSED! SICK! AND SCARED! The last loop I almost took out a runway
light!!!! No rudder control. a friend of mine was on hand Bryce Hatfield who
has a lots of experience in many aircraft types, looked at the problem objectively.
he got in the plane and taxied it with me. all is fine until you apply the
optional matco brakes. I had the pedals to close to the front cross bar and
as you would put pressure on the toe brake and enough pressure on the opposite
rudder, the rudder torsional bar would flex enough to cancel any rudder input.
we fixed the problem and did 6 passes the length of the runway, and had the
extra in the air!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Some times it's good to have someone
look at the project that is not so close to it. THIS IS THE DAY I HAVE DREAMED
ABOUT FOR FOUR YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Thanks to Milow Tim for the motivation
to start this project and the help. I wish you could experience the excitement
displayed by him this past week. and at the airport this morning. including
wearing a full g suit helmet and oxygen mask. and he was only ground crew
today! ( temp in phx 107)

Congratzzz. I and green with envy and motivated to keep at mine. I have
about 4 weeks to complete my MKIIIC before the fall session of school
starts. At that time if it is not done it will have to wait till
January. How about some photos of today. I love your web site. I would
also like to have one of those scoops you have on your plane.

George,
Very nice site and it was a pleasure to see Homer again (if only in pictures)
I went to Oshkosh in '88 to buy a kit. Didn't know for sure what I was after
but I had already considered the Kolbs as one of the frontrunners. After spending
some time with Homer and the rest of his people and flying the airplane,
I made my mind up on the spot and bought a Mk-2. Homer was very gratious and
made me feel like one of the family right away.
I'm still flying the Mk-2 and have never regretted my purchase for even a second.
There isn't many people in this (or any) business who can even come close
to the hospitality and low-keyed professionalism I experienced with Homer and
his people, and everybody here knows what great airplanes the Kolbs are to fly.
Steve Kroll (16 years later and still in love with my Mk-2)
