In fact, you could make a fantastic coffee table book out of your photos. Title it: Alaska By Air or Alaskair or something........... Doug NE Georgia & Whitwell TN Do Not Archive John I bet you could pay for your next trip if you burned a CD with all those pictures you took with details of each - I'd buy one for $20. Then I'd like to take that exact same trip some day - if you put it all together in a booklet - with advice based on your experience & pictures of each spot where you landed - I'll buy a copy - say $40 for that. It wouldn't take long before you've got enough money coming in to finance the next trip! I just sent those pictures out to a bunch of people i know and they all love them and want to see more! thanks cliff

    Subject: Could have been tragical but finally hllarious ;-)
    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "James, Ken" <KDJames@berkscareer.com> I hate when people mislabel aircraft. It taints all sports. I have never in over 20 years flying ( even the old delta's ) seen a Hangglider fold up under "normal flying conditions" Thermals gusts etc.. Remember after the earliest deltas Hanggliding is a sport of thermaling and my oldest glider was 4+/-g rated. Having said that I have seen quite a few Hanggliders fold up doing aerobatics which they were not rated for. Guy's who thought they knew that the kite could take it (surprise)!! I have some great pic of guy's doing loops and wing overs but NONE of their kites were rated for acrobatics. Most survived their fold ups most had chutes, I even saw a guy spin one down with a folded wing and limp away. Remember even if the wing folds you have a lot of stuff out in the wind and a very low mass so it's possible to bring it all down and survive. I personally have ridden thermals up at over 800 fpm flown to well over 12k flown as far as 60 miles in a day and flown in 20 knt winds off the beach. All within my current kites flight envelope, It's simple stay in the numbers and stay alive.

    Subject: para-glider
    --> Kolb-List message posted by: russ kinne <kinnepix@earthlink.net> I don't see what caused the chute to fold up like that -- I didn't see hotrodding but this isn't my field. But in general-- hotrodders always crash sooner or later, be in aircraft, cycles, cars, or boats. There's no room for showoffing in our sport; try to discourage it when you see it. Ken James' reply was excellent. He's obviously a safe-and-sane pilot.

    Subject: Maximum Gross Weight, Flight Loads and Flight Safety
    From: "Rex Rodebush" <rrodebush@tema.net>
    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Rex Rodebush" <rrodebush@tema.net> Some other thoughts on the gross weight............. I checked my notes from TNK's Fly In two years ago and Bruce said that the Mark III was +4 -2 G's at 1000#. Their website specifications state +4 -2 load and +6 -3 ultimate. They also say 850# normal and 1000# max gross so I assume the +4 -2 is indeed at 1000# gross. On FAA cert. airplanes standard category is +3.8 -1.5 G's and utility category is +4.4 -1.8 G's I plan to use 1100 Max. gross on my plane so if I cipher right that works out to +3.64 -1.82 G's, just a slightly lower safety factor than standard category on the + G side. I think the big question is where Kolb got the +4 -2 number from? Was it calculated by hand; calculated by F.E. computer; or was the frame carefully sandbagged to find out what the actual load limit was?? Anyone on the list know? Rex Rodebush

    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "John Hauck" <jhauck@elmore.rr.com> Hi George/All: I have never made a penny building and flying Kolb aircraft. Never had any intention of trying to make money with something I enjoy so much. My primary purpose of being on the Kolb List is to share what little bit I have learned about building, crashing, rebuilding, and flying these little airplanes. Hopefully, some of you all may benefit from my mistakes, and not have to duplicate them. Long cross country flights to far off exciting places is something I truly enjoy and have enjoyed since I made my first 80 mile round trip to Tuskegee, Alabama, and Moton Field, home of the Tuskegee Airmen, more than 20 years ago, in an Ultrastar. Since I always go solo, I like to share the flights with you all, especially those that can not make those kind of flights for one reason or other. For those that tire of this, there is always the delete key. I do not archive these briefs into the Kolb List Archives, so there is no trace of me ever being here. I have a lot of stuff going on now, some that I enjoy and some that is of necessity in order to maintain where I live. Being single puts twice as much work load on one, unless they have a beautiful 18 year old live in maid from Sweden. Unfortunately, I don't have one of those. But........that's another reason I can do what I do, no wife, no job, free as a bird (as long as my girl friend doesn't object too much) as long as I can scrape together enough money for fuel, MRE's, and long distance telephone card. ;-) Take care, john h PS: Perhaps some day I can find time to pursue a book, or a web page (George A), so we can do a better job of sharing some of these flights with you all. DO NOT ARCHIVE

    --> Kolb-List message posted by: Richard Pike <richard@bcchapel.org> Before he lost control, the pilot was talking about the thermals. Ever watch a thermal spin the leaves up as it lifts off? I would speculate that he got into a vigorously spinning thermal and it wound up his lines for a bit, and then it looked like he was in a centrifugal situation where he and the chute were apparently slinging each other around a common axis. Just speculation, I know almost nothing about those chutes. Except that now I don't want one. Having flown ultralights since the marginal days of "powered hang gliders" (anybody else on the list ever foot launched a weight shift Quicksilver?) and flown 2 axis Hummers and weight shift Easy Risers, it is hard to convey just how much better a Kolb is than those antiques. These are indeed the good old days of light aircraft.

I know it would be a big project..but you might be suprised what you could do with your computer and a long cold winter! Either way...Thanks for continueing to share those wonderful photos and stories. I hope you dont run out too soon!

    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Rusty" <13brv3c@bellsouth.net> I have never made a penny building and flying Kolb aircraft. Never had any intention of trying to make money with something I enjoy so much. ------------------- (RD) Hi John, I have to agree with everyone who's mentioned the CD sale. I would really enjoy having full resolution pics, with a small caption for the more notable ones. You've already done much of the commenting, and it would just be a matter of putting this together on a CD. I would certainly buy one, as would many other people. I also understand that you aren't looking to profit from these trips, and don't want to turn this into a job. You have freely shared these beautiful pics in the past, and I imagine that you might feel guilty charging for them. There's no reason you have to stop posting them free if you want to, and also no reason to feel guilty for selling them on a CD. Lot's of us would be happy to buy the CD for the convenience of having all the pics in one place, and we'd consider it a donation toward your fuel costs. You won't finance the whole trip that way, but it would take a bite out of the expenses. I can tell you now that I will never take such a trip. It's outside my comfort level, but the pics are absolutely beautiful, so I'm glad you share them. FWIW, that's my $.02. Cheers, Rusty (RV-3 flying again in a month, then on to the SS)

    Subject: Re: John H and The Next Alaska Trip
    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "George Bass" <gtb@commspeed.net> John H.; I'm going to chime in again, against my better judgment, and second the comments made by Rusty, and others, on the CD idea. I'd be right up front with the other buyers on this project, but, would not expect it to get in the way of your everyday living, or whenever flying. One reason I feel so strongly about it is that I've seen photos taken by "professionals" that make yours seem like they belong in the same category (Adriel Heisey is the first that comes to mind and he ALSO flies a Kolb). For that matter, I'm fairly sure Adriel might be willing to offer some advice on the method best suited to this project, or maybe a source for the development of the compilation (wish I had the knowledge 'cause I sure would be proud to do it for you). Whatever you decide, now or later, I think I can state for all of us, that we will gladly support your choice. Blue Skies, George Bass P. O.

    Subject: Load factor....
    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Jim Baker" <jlbaker@telepath.com> Calculate the maximum stall speed that will not exceed load factor. You'd have to determine at what stall speed will the lift produce a given load factor? Since stall speed increases with the square root of the load factor, the square root of the maximum load factor (Lf) multiplied by the stall speed (Vs x Lf = Va) will give the maximum speed. At any airspeed less than Vs times the square root of maximum load factor the wing will stall before more load is imposed on it than it is designed to handle. Say 35 mph is FS2 stall, 35 x sqrt(4)= 70mph as Va at full FS2 gross of 725. Now plug in the numbers for a less-than-gross calculation.....Hmmmmm.
