George,
That too is one of my favorite pictures from John's priceless photo album. The closest-to-this view for ground-bound travelers I've ever seen is in the Rocky Mountain National Park at the highest point on Trail Ridge Road that runs from Estes Park, CO to I forget where. http://www.rmnp.com/RMNP-Areas-TrailRidge.HTML

Yeah right!
But I bet there were a few trees you wished you had "flown over" instead
of into.

Eugene Z/All:
Yep! Those were serious learning points, especially the last one.
Was thinking about it last night. Been over 14 years now.
Folks, I changed the subject line to reflect our Kolb Homecoming the
last weekend of this month. Times a wasting. Hope everyone will make
an effort to come. If you have attended one before, you know how much
fun they are and how much we can learn from each other. If you
haven't attended a Kolb Homecoming, you need to to put some names
together with some faces. Bruce Chesnut and the rest of the Kolb gang
at London, make sure we are all well fed and taken care of for the
weekend. Chesnut Knolls Airfoundation is a beautiful place centered
around the airstrip. The Kolb Factory if located right on the
airstrip also.
Ya'll come!

PS: The sun was shining when I crawled out of bed this morning. I
have not had a chance to change oil, filter, spark plugs, gunk the
engine, and scrub Miss P'fer inside and out since I got home from
Alaska. Maybe we can get all that done today. Well, maybe before
time to go to London.

Fellow Kolbers,
I did the weight and balance on my just finished Mark 3 Classic and the "Pilot
+ Full Fuel" CG location is at 37.6 % (24.8 inches from datum) versus the design
maximum limit of 35% (23.1 inches from datum). The "Pilot + Passenger + no
fuel" CG location is OK (29.4%, 19.4 inches from datum). Total empty weight is
567 lbs (includes BRS parachute mounted in front of engine). I have followed
the CG weighing and calculating instructions in the plans exactly. I used aircraft
electronic scales (calibrated June 2004) for the mains and a bathroom scale
(calibrated with a 50 lb weight) for the tail.
I compared my results with another Mark 3 Classic owner. His single pilot CG was
38%.
Is this typical of other Mark 3 Classics? If so, what do I say to the FAA inspector
about my CG being out of the design spec?
I already have the battery mounted in the nose. I really hate to add more weight
to the nose to fix the problem. Are there any other suggestions?
I look forward to your comments?
Tim Warlick
Mobile, AL

Hi All,
Had a great flight today. I put 5.0 hours on the Kolbra on a flight down to
Cypress, TX (suburb of Houston) and lunch with fellow Kolb flyer Gary.
I made him stand still so I could get this picture of his new paint scheme
on his MarkIII. He still has a little more painting to do to finish it up
and be ready to head to Chesnut Knolls for the Homecoming.

Thanks for time today Gary.

Hi John W/All:
Well, these red and yellow sunburst wings are sprouting up all over
the place these days. hehehe Just got back from a short flight over
to Wetumpka Airport. Low and behold, a FSII with red and yellow
sunburst wings tried to do a gun run on me. :-) James Tripp has 37.0
flight hours on his new FSII. He is getting the 40 hours flown off so
he can fly to London with us. Great!
Gary, it looks GOOD! See ya over here at hauck's holler in two weeks
and a day. You too John W. Times a wastin'.
I still haven't gotten mine cleaned up from my last trip. Got dust
and dirt on it from Knik River to Eagle Plains. Gosh, hate to wash
off all those memories.
Take care,
john h
PS: You are welcome to land at Gantt IAP, all 750 feet of it.
However, if you prefer, land at Wetumpka and we'll make arrangements
to pick you up, chow you down, get you a shower, and put you to bed.
Got to tuck your own self in though.

Al,
From one FS driver to another, congratulations on your first flight. I know
the good feeling and excitement that first flight gives. May you have many
hours of joy in your new aircraft.

John,
That's an awesome paint job on Gary's MKIII. Is he still calling it Haley's
Comet?
