Thanks for sharing the pics and story line, John!
PS, is you plane still for sale? Just wondering how you planned to get
around without the Kolbra.

I don't mean to sound bitter. I agree, I had a great time, but it was because
I got to catch up with everyone I have met over the years. I'm just concerned
about what direction this thing is going.

Beauford,
Sorry I missed seeing you at Lakeland this year. Bonnie and I only had
Thursday afternoon to take in the "show". I too was disappointed with the
price to gain admission. The $4.00 lemonades are kinda high, but sure taste
good on a hot afternoon. At any rate, I don't think we'll be coming back to
Sun N Fun anytime soon. $50.00 bucks to get the two of us in for just about
5 hours of "droolin' " time.
I noticed another aircraft (besides Kolbs) while I was there. It's a neat
little glass plane that's being imported by one of my old hang gliding
buddies, Tom Peghiny. It's named the CT and they demo'd it from the
Ultralight grass strip. Nice little plane, but when I asked 'em how much
$$$, they said $85,000.00 plus options. And the wings don't even fold or
remove easily. It just doesn't seem like the old days of ultralighting at
that price. Maybe the aircraft have to cost more because of the greed of
the show operators. And partially the exchange rate of the dollar.
I still want a MkIII x. Value, Convenience, Safety, and FUN !!! Wife says I
have to sell the other 2 planes first.
Ya'll Fly Safely,

Not one to miss a chance to pontificate at will (and we will...and will...
and will), here's what most impressed us this week -- and what didn't. AND
when all this noise is said and done, we're FINALLY going to drop THE bomb
on everyone... with a MAJOR announcement that is the result of many year's
observation of Lakeland and dozens or other fly-in and airshows... Stay
tuned... this one is gonna be a doozie.
Above from ANN newsletter today. Should be interesting to here Jim
Campbell's rant on this one. He has had a serious bad blood feud with the
sun n fun people for years, so this should be no holds bared!

For all of you that will be making the trip to Homer's on Father's Day,
he'll have some new things to show you around the farm. (I spent Monday
afternoon with him & he showed me a few of his newest projects :) The guy just
doesn't stop! I've know Homer, like a lot of us and the old Kolb company for
many
years, (& live 5 minutes from him - when I'm in PA), but this was the first
time I ever saw his 4 engine Kolb : } && from what he was telling me -
someday when he's caught up on his projects - he will do another iteration using
modern tech and lessons learned. It's a funny looking little creature with
4 small props. He was telling me about it and how it flew, that it weighs
less than a pilot. He now has it suspended in his hanger/museum, along with
5-6 other earlier designs.
Anyway, I just wanted to convey his & his wife's greetings to all. He asked
if I monitored this site, (he's been too busy to), and asked to be caught up
on the recent topics. And for those who may want to know - he takes his
fire star up whenever he gets the chance. Monday in PA was a beautiful, still,
late afternoon to fly - but for Homer, there were tractors, mills, pond,
cabins and other things to work on : )

Kolbers, listening to the beefs about high prices, you have to face the
fact
that there is a dual economy now. The haves and the hava-lots. If you
are selling stuff it makes sense to sell to those with the bucks. When
asked
why he robbed banks, John Dillinger said, "because that's where the
money is"
It comes down to different strokes for different folks. I have no
desire for a
zippy plastic plane with a glass cockpit that I can't figure out how to
use.
-Some do, and I can't begrudge them.
Some think living in a high-rise in Naples,FL would be the greatest.
I'd rather live in the woods in southern Vermont.
There is an abundance of activities that feel right for you, go to them.
Kolb related: I've got the little Geo engine apart and inspecting and
measuring.
Cute little bugger, and I mean LITTLE! Can't imagine how it flew me
and
my corpulent Kolb last year, let alone fast taxi. -Looks good so far.

Right now I'm planning to join up for the trip to the Alvord

had originally planned to come down through California but I
would also like to be home for Memorial Day.
I think I'll take the old Kolb up, turn it loose and see

Jim "Zoom" Cambell who has published aviation magazines in the past
(USAviator, among others) now has the Aero-News Network, which is a web
based aviation news service, and daily aviation newsletter. They email it
to you every night, it covers every aspect of aviation, not just sport
aviation. The web site (above) will let you sign up if you're interested.
The Sun n fun people have had court orders to keep Jim off the convention
grounds in the past, since he reports the good the bad and the ugly, and
they don't want people to hear about the bad and the ugly. Jim has reported
about the safety issues, the outrageous costs and the ridiculous attendance
figures in the past, so it will be interesting to here his rant on Sun n Fun
this year. I for one hope he has been able to find out the salaries being
paid to the people who run this "Non Profit" organization! The rough
estimates of income from the show are in the millions, and since most of the
work is done by volunteers, where does all this "non profit" money go? My
guess is a few guys are getting rich...

'Morning Guys,
It has been said (many, many times) that confession is good for the soul, well
here goes.
I took 7078A out for some landing configuration tests Mon AM. Standard day, calm
and clear. The grass was long so I used the hard runway. Made two good touch-and-goes.
The first was without flaps, 55 mph on high final, 40-45 mph touchdown,
scored a good "8". Climb-out indicated 1200 FPM. The second was with one
notch of flaps, same final and touchdown speeds and scoring another "8" and 1,000'/min
climbout.
I continued around the pattern with the one notch of flaps and set up final as
usual. I planned to test her at a slower touchdown speed this time (a la soft
field landing). I didn't think we were too far off the asphalt when she settled
in but I'll be replacing the left main gear this afternoon. It is not pretzel-bent
but I prefer to have them straight.
Keep Your Airspeed !

Hi Duane and all,
During any of my testing that required a runway, I used the center third of
the runway for the landing and takeoff. That way I could screw up the
approach or roundout and still not have to worry about landing short.

Bob,
I saw some of that stuff over at the local aircraft supply here in Houston.
Maybe they will have some at your nearest aircraft supply, If not maybe try
The New Kolb.
