Here is one:
http://www.mypilotstore.com/MyPilotStore/sep/2214?qryrmv=1&ctn=afd1
They also reference sources of software to use the charts.
To find this, I used the same search that I used to find the FAA sectionals; I
Googled "digital sectionals".
Anyone not familiar with Google should think of it as an archive search for the
rest of the world.

Matt,
The new BBS Forum looks GREAT!
I had already switched to the browser as my primary method to follow the list,
but it was not easy to use for replies.
Don't forget to remind us about this major enhancement at the next fundraiser.
By then we may have forgotten the way things were and be taking this for granted.

--> Kolb-List message posted by: "Jim Baker" <jlbaker@telepath.com>
OK...I admit it...one of my degrees is in cartography. So usually I
know where to get map data. If you want to play around with some
really BIG files of sectionals that aren't quite up to date...
http://aviationtoolbox.org/raw_data/FAA/sectionals/
These are georeferenced TIF files so you'll need both the .TIF and
.TFW (world file...contains the map reference data) to make these
work. There are lots of free viewers around...

If you have not done so, chekc out the new Matronics BBS. It is AWESOME !!! It
is the same list, articles, and people we have been reading for years now...
But it is now in a logical, easy to use Web Based format. You can attach PICTURES,
expressions, and browse messages and threads with great ease. No more
dealing with clunky and hard to use email, no more worrying about "Do Naught
Archive" ... I have been using forums like this for Motorcycle and Radio forums
for years, and this is a vast, gigantic improvement over what we had before.
This is SWEET :D

Hi Folks: Just learned something else, besides how to attach a file. If I click
on the attached photo, it will open its full size. Neat. Yes, Topher, this
is a great improvement over the old email system. Sometimes it takes this older
generation that is not comfortable with the digital world of computers and
all the other goodies, like this BBS, courage enough to jump in the water way
over our heads, make a few mistakes, and learn a new system by doing. When
I was much younger I would not have understood what I just said, but now I sure
do.

--> Kolb-List message posted by: "Tom O'Hara" <tohara@alphagraphics.com>
I have been sort of a lurker over the last year-- but also have used this
format for other bulletin boards. Last summer I purchased a MKIII from Dick
Neitzel in N. Wisconsin. It is the first to come off the line in KY. Have
been having a ball with it-- after getting some dual with Dick and also
about 4 hours with Dan (the god of Kolb's) Kurkjian. Dan was Homer's test
pilot and has over 600 hours in our little planes!! Enough.
Matt- Could you give us some guidelines and members need to get familiar
with replying to posts-- not starting a new topic. This will put all input
on a topic under a single topic-- MUCH easier to search.
1. When are you eliminating the email board?
2. If we want to stop the email board, should we discontinue our
"membership"?
3. How or are you going to create "history" from the email board?
4. Suggestion-- put up a reminder to "reply" till we all get used to this
format.
GREAT IMPROVEMENT-- No more 40 emails a day and much better search and
organizational ability!!

Please be aware that opinions about styles of email service are very
much a personal thing.
I just took a look at it, and like every other web based email service,
it's downright terrible for the way I prefer to view email. If you're
forced to use dialup, life ends at web based email.
I won't bore you with all the nuts & bolts reasons that the
'traditional' format is better, but for starters, the characters on web
based systems are so big that you are forced to scroll left/right,
up/down to see only a half-dozen or so headers instead of 30 or 40 on a
normal screen. I can read 3 or 4 short emails in the time it takes a
single email to load from a web based system, *even using a broadband
connection*. I prefer telling my email software how to sort my mail, not
having some web server tell me how to do it. Etc, etc.
I don't begrudge you preferring the new format; just don't assume that
everyone feels the way you do & *please* don't encourage the admin to
kill a perfectly servicable format.
Charlie

>1. When are you eliminating the email board?
The email system isn't going to be going away. The new BBS is simply another interface
to "view" the List content. Some people prefer email, some BBS forums.
Now, you can "get your fix" either way... :-)
>2. If we want to stop the email board, should we discontinue our

If you're satisfied simply logging into the BBS and checking and sending messages
from there, then there's no requirement to stay subscribed to the email distributions.
Its up to you.
>3. How or are you going to create "history" from the email board?
All of the existing list Archive tools will remain in place and available with
all of the latest posts both from the Email and the BBS.
>4. Suggestion-- put up a reminder to "reply" till we all get used to this

Messages sent from Email or sent from the BBS are both cross posted to the other.

Matt,
For those of us out on the end of a small "Slow" pipe, web based email
systems are very slow and require direct operator intervention. That is why
we use email programs that automatically go out and capture the emails and
bring them directly into our machines without any one at the keyboard.
You have every right to be proud and I applaud your efforts, but please do
not cut the old system.
Out in the internet boondocks!

Oh, rats at 61, I too must agree. I went through the great times and
tribulations of the Commador Vic 20, the early days of Mackinslosh and the
answer to all answers; the IBM personal computer. I have also gone from
dial-up to cable and back to dial-up. I too have seen this format before and
have to agree with Charlie. This is a tougher route to follow. Sometimes,
simple is best and change for the sake of change isn't necessarily better.
I'm sure some will love this format but quite frankly, I'm in agreement
"please, please don't kill the old format.
Just another opinion and we all have bunches of them.

--> Kolb-List message posted by: "John Bickham" <gearbender@bellsouth.net>
[Question]
Hello list & BBS????
Got kinda of a dumb question about tire size. I just ordered some McCreary Airtrac
8.00-6 tires from Dresser via the internet. I'm 99% sure I ordered the right
ones. I know I should know this but what is the OD of this tire?
Do not Archive
First atttempt on BBS - please bear with me. :?

Thanks too much,

--> Kolb-List message posted by: "jdmurr@juno.com" <jdmurr@juno.com>
Hello all,
I have a 1989 Firestar with drum brakes. The one side grips and the other side
doesn't. I removed the drum and noticed that the bearing grease got onto the
shoes. I cleaned off the oil the best I could and scuffed up the shoes and the
drum with sandpaper. I put it back together and it still doesn't grab. Any
suggestions on how to get the grease out of the shoes? Thanks.

I would clean it off with something that disolves oil very well and does not leave
any residue. (not mineral spirits) I would try gasoline, or something like
that, clean both the drum and the shoes thouroughly, scrub those shoes with
a rag or brush to get the grease out of the pourous material and see if that
does the trick...
Are new shoes that expensive for kolbs ???

I ordered new shoes and they sent me the wrong ones. It was a big screw-up. If
I can clean them I will. They were about $65. Might be worth it to convert
to disc brakes for a little more.

Might be able to get your answer by asking the Kolb List how many listers are flying
with a Verner.

John,
Use brake cleaner to clean the drum and then heat the shoes with a torch
to pull the grease out of the lining. As the grease starts to come out
you can spray it with the brake cleaner or you can just burn it off but
that usually causes the lining to get too hot. ~ Earl
P.S. Or you could just buy a MKIII with disc brakes and let me have the
firestar! :-)

David and All,
I tried a Verner 155.
I fly a Rotax 912 ULS.
That should say all that needs to be said about the Verner.
