My name is Rick and I have the good fortune to have finally gotten the Kolb Mk III that I have wanted for 12 years. You may have seen her in Barnstormers, she's the one with the flag paint job done across her wing. It's been a busy week, flying to Alabama early last Sunday morning to make the purchase, then waiting on winter weather to see if I was going to get to fly her home to Wichita and on Tuesday night accepting that I was going to put her on a truck and drive her home. We left on Wednesday afternoon a little after 3:00 and arrived in Wichita the next day a little before noon. Friday was spent finding a hangar, yesterday I signed the lease in the morning and was building ramps to unload her. Later today she'll be out of the trailer and set up for flight again. Finally, after seeing that video from the factory so long ago, I have a Kolb Mk III. -- Rick Girard "Pining for a home on the Range" ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 04:24:06 AM PST US From: "Kirk Smith" Subject: Re: Kolb-List: occupations --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Kirk Smith" ."

I am looking for a legitimate use of mine (for tax purposes also), but being a part time landlord, I was not sure if hunting down fleeing renters was a reasonable "business use" for the Kolb!

After finishing high school I went to work for the Jockey Co. Men's sportswear and underwear in 1955 as a sewing machine mechanic. Made supervisor in 1975 in charge of plant maintenance and training. Was asked in 1984 to go to Jamaica for a year to supervise constructing a garment plant there. Lived in Montego Bay on the beach. Stay was supposed to be for 1 year, was there 2 1/2 years. My wife went along also working as a instructor in sewing. Anyone that has lived in a third world country knows it is not all roses. Returned home in 1987 back to previous job. Was elected Mayor of my Town and am still mayor for 4 more years(20). Retired from Jockey after 47 years, ONLY job I ever had, because of losing my eye sight to diabetics. Has laser surgery and now have my sight back. Bought my Firefly from a friend that I flew Radio Control planes with. He knew that I wanted a plane and would buzz my house often to tempt me. It worked, bought the Firefly in 2000. Have it at a friends grass 2000' strip. He let me use his hanger for free a 50 x 50. Learned to fly myself with no lessons. Did a lot of taxing and crow-hops. One day decided it was time to fly. Took off and landed with no problems. Had been passenger lots of times in planes and have had some stick time. Flying radio control for 25 years helped. Bent one set of gear legs. Have a difibultor and heart pacer implant from a sudden death syn. Passed out at a football game , I was walking pasta EMS truck and I Died, Luckly they were right there and revived me. This was in 2002. Have had no problems since, guess it was not my time to go. Have 330 hours on my Firefly now, runs great. I am now 68 years old.

The Hasselblad (film) was too big and heavy. Nice pictures when I was a passenger, though. The Olympus OM-1 (film) was great in all respects except that I needed to carry around lenses and film. Also it isn't waterproof. Since then I've gotten smaller cameras. I'd kind of like to get one of the Panasonic digital ones with a stabilized lens - that would probably be best for shooting from the plane. The Olympus Stylus (film) was very good, but not durable enough. It survived a rafting trip in the Grand Canyon but there was residual water damage that ultimately ruined it. (It was splashproof, they said....) The Canon S-40 (digital) took good enough pictures but wasn't durable enough and the menu system was virtually unworkable. If anyone wants its waterproof housing, never used, let me know. The Pentax OptioWP (digital) doesn't have a viewfinder, just a screen, and the range of zoom is a bit limited. So it's hard to use in the plane. But it's waterproof to about five feet, has an easy menu system, and delivers good pictures. It so far seems to be quite durable. That is, I haven't broken it yet.... I have taken it snorkeling successfully. Sure felt funny dunking it the first time. I do have to admit that it's a lot better on the sailboat than in the plane. As I said, probably one of the Panasonic stabilized zoom cameras would be good for flying.

She was for many years editor of a couple of movie and television magazines and was having lunch with an old time star who was noted for her prim and proper roles, as well as romantic. The white gloves, trim hat, very, very proper and one always thought of her as being the type. They were sitting in the Polo Lounge of the Beverly Hills Hotel eating and talking about what some of the older female stars of yesteryear were doing and the roles that now placed them in the category of "golden year" roles. The former femme fatale still wearing the white gloves and prim pill box hat and smoking a cigarette, stopped talking, got a far away look and after a moment, took a long draw on her cigarette and quite loudly said, "F--- the golden years". So much for her image. --------------------------------- ________________________________ Message 17 ____________________________________ Time: 11:37:42 AM PST US From: Eugene Zimmerman Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Kolb Frapper / location map --> Kolb-List message posted by: Eugene Zimmerman Hey Pat, You can enter too.

Spent half of my 22 years as a "Gun Plumber" (Weapons Mechanic) and the other half as an Instructional Systems Development Specialists (Hello Ken). Broke up with my first wife and went to work for Northrop in Saudi Arabia for a couple of years. Then traveled around the US with a Suzuki 850 for a couple more years - Been to 46 States with that bike. Got bored and figured I was spending wayyyy too much time in the bars so went back to work with Northrop in El Segundo, Calif,. Found another wife (Yeah, Eve - a "keeper") and retired in 1993 after 12 years with the Company. Moved to Prescott, Az, and sold trailers out of my back yard for a couple of years just to keep busy, then bought a few duplexes and still manage them. Got real excited about ultralights and Eve gave me an intro ride for my birthday. I told the Instructor "screw the intro, I want to learn to fly one of these." So I did. Had to drive to Buckeye, AZ, for lessons (100 miles one way) and flying so convinced "The Wife" that it was much more economical for me to get my own plane. Got a line on a great Firestar here in town and bought it. Put 100+ hours on it then got a "too-good-to-be-true" deal on a MKIII Classic. Bought it and found out later that it really was "too-good-to-be-true" and I'd gotten mildly screwed. But we've done a lot of work on it and I've put on 100+ hours in the last couple of years.

I'm VERY pleased to say that the stubborn oil leak at the redrive input shaft appears to be dry now. Unfortunately, it seems to have been the milder one, masking the real one. I ran the engine for 3 or 4 minutes this afternoon, and have at least a pint of oil on the driveway and all over the back of the engine and airplane.

Then I spent 2 years teaching kids with learning & emotional problems. For the last 6 years I have been teaching math to incarcerated teenage boys. My wife of 30 years is a gift that has greatly exceeded what I dreamt for as a young buck, and as each year goes by, I am continued to be surprised by the treasure she is.

I took a different direction, I laid a big fillet of braze on the inside of the exhaust manifold loops, the idea was that the brass would be easier on the springs, keep them from breaking, and every year I would just add more braze. It worked pretty well. Finally discarded the spring system entirely, and use spring loaded 5/16" bolts through welded on brackets to hold everything together. Perhaps a bit overdone and clunky, but they are so easy to inspect, and when the bolts do get a bit of wear, they are so easy to replace. Using common hardware store mild steel bolts (on purpose) drilled for a cotter pin, seriously overbuilt, here are pictures - http://www.bcchapel.org/pages/0003/pg2.htm When I put those pictures on the web page, it was a new setup, after 150 hours, the bolts had minimal wear, there was still 1/4" of bolt thickness left. Considering that the bolts are in tension, holding about 20 or 25 pounds of pressure from the springs, I am very satisfied. Fabricating them takes a welder, about $15 worth of parts, (the metal brackets that the bolts go through are from steel muffler clamp brackets, I saw the ends off the clamps and use the u-channel ends off the end of the clamp, the part that the hole goes through) and a couple hours, but it gives a lot of peace of mind.
