Group, what a fine day! Off through the fading fog banks and into
the sun. Attended a fly in breakfast at what we lowlanders call
high altitude; 1600MSL
5 miles from home its time to gain a little altitude because the terrain
near home is inhospitable. Engine does one of those "interruptions"
Not good. Throttle back and review the situation. Engine still
running. Looking for respectable landing spot. A little farther on
I (finally) notice the temp gauge is pegged. hmmm
A wheatfield on the edge of a nearby village has a trail through it.
Can't be too picky. Circle and land with no damage.
Hose came off at elbow out of head. Lousy design, I followed the
redrive vendor's method. That will have to be modified.
The engine must have run for at least 10 minutes with no water.
The oil cooler I put on it must have kept things turning.
A friendly local fetched me some water and a screwdriver, I stuck
it back together, flew home.
From the scratchy feel that wasn't there before I must have screwed
up the rings and walls. It looks like BB may be walking for a spell.

Help, help,
"Pennzoil 2 stroke air cooled engine oil" which I have always used has disappeared
in this area. Is it off the market every where? If so what are most of
you finding as a good substitute. They are pushing their 2 stroke outboard engine
oil which is partially synthetic. Any one have any experience with it?

Zip on over to your local Advanced Auto store and order it.. They will
use your order to create a stocking status for that store.. Did that in
Lafayette Tenn .
There is a distributor in Goodlettsville,Tenn. Friends claim to buy
it by the case there.. Herb

I started with Penn. 2 stroke aircooled, went to their outboard oil, then to
AV-2. All of it worked well for me, can't recommend one over the other.

I have had good success since 1983 using Phillips Injex two stroke oil.
Switched to Pennzoil for one season to try it out, the only difference I
could see was that the oily mung on the tail feathers was nastier. Went
back to Injex. I call the local distributor and they drop off a case of
12 quarts at the door. $33 a case, not too shabby.

--> Kolb-List message posted by: Bob Noyer <a58r@verizon.net>
This is some 500+ words, so you can dump as you wish. It's nothing to
do with flying...except that perhaps The Day remembers all who have
gone ahead for any reason. If it bothers you, send complaints to me,
either on/off list.
When Memorial Day Was Truly 'Decoration Day'
By Robert O Noyer
Now comes another federally mandated holiday, dedicated to the
merchants of America.
This holiday, conveniently hooked on to a weekend, allows us extra
time off from our jobs so that we may celebrate The Memorial Day
Sale, as well as get in a little extra time behind the wheel
something we do all week anyway!
A glance at the calendar sometimes shows two Memorial Days one
"observed," the other just plain old Memorial Day. Can any of us
remember when there was just one such day, and what was memorialized
then?
For many years, May 30 was set aside to honor the memories of fallen
servicemen in all the wars. Many of the southern states have a
different day, however the observance is the same. Perhaps it was a
Virginia woman, Cassandra Oliver Moncure, a distant relative of mine,
who during the War Between the States, first dedicated this day to
the dead.
In my family, and no doubt in many others, May 30 was called
Decoration Day. On this day we went to the country cemeteries where
our ancestors were buried, and clipped the new grass around the
headstones, taking care to tweak the just-blooming peonies, and
placing fresh-cut flowers from our own gardens in Mason jars on the
family plots.
My grandmothers always knew which graves might not be tended for lack
of living relatives, and so brought flowers for these plots, tending
them as well. As children, we were warned to never walk on a grave plot.
And I remember more than 75 years ago the small parades in these tiny
country towns. The entire Boy Scout troop of seven, including what
appeared to be the smallest Scout, carrying The Colors with 48 stars.
A somewhat off-tune but determined Town Band wheezing out The Stars
And Stripes Forever and My Country Tis Of Thee. Only a couple of very
old Civil War veterans, riding in an open car emblazoned with
red,white and blue bunting, leading a few more from the Spanish-
American War. And maybe a dozen from World War I ("The War to End All
Wars").
Most of the veterans still had a piece or two of their old uniforms,
and all had a few medals. Some of the World War "doughboys" had their
odd flat-brimmed "tin hats" and tightly wound puttees, but all who
marched did so in spite of age and pain. Each may have thought it
might be their last time to follow the Flag.
At Old Town Cemetery, all the old vets stood at attention, with the
younger men at each side of the Civil War soldiers. The several
widows, all in black, dotted the crowd of a couple of dozen, standing
near a few graves. Three volleys were fired from two old hunting
rifles. The preacher gave a long prayer, a wavering Taps was sounded
by the silver cornet player of the Town Band, and the formal
Decoration Day ceremonies were over.
Later we entertained old friends with real home-cranked ice cream and
chocolate cake while bringing back the memories of past times and the
people in them. Perhaps it was Memorial Day after all.

Do you mean to tell me that this Memorial Day is not for discounts on cars, appliances,
groceries, furniture, lawn supplies and new homes at really "blow out
prices" deep discounts?
I thought something was missing in all that we were to celebrate. I spoke these
same type words to my wife the other day. Memorial Day. Wasn't that something
that we were supposed to remember , in the fact that others gave their lives,
unselfishly for their country and their fellow citizens so that we may enjoy
the other 364 days a year for their "BLOW-OUT SALE and INTEREST FREE BARGAINS?
To all of you who have served. To all of you who have done without the companionship
of a Father or Mother, Sister or Brother because they gave un-selfishly
for the preservation of this Nation and its values, I solute you and thank you
for what they hoped to have accomplished.
For all the greedy, sucking, one-more-deal making, blow-out, deep discount business
who don't or somehow cant make enough money all the other days of the year,
I say SHAME ON YOU!
And unlike Bob N., the poster of the message regarding Decoration Day, that said
If it bothers you, send complaints to me, either on/off list. I say, pick
another country! But I believe most if not all that enjoy the Brotherhood of
flying, know somewhat deep inside the real values of those lives not given in
vain. All of the men in my faily served and lived to come back and give to the
fullness of their lives.
Bob N., Thank you for reminding a few what this weekend is really all about.

Glad to hear you were not hurt and nothing was damaged Bob. I would not put you
in the "BigLAr" club though. Your misfortune was due to a mechanical failure.
Big Lar has caused his own problems with Vamoose. After reading about Lars trailer
fiasco, I understood exactly why his plane has never flown. Constant bad
choices and the inability to accomplish anything. Just endless excuses from
Lar and 5 years of one fiasco after another blamed on everything but his own
incompetence.

Group, I wondered whether to respond to this one.....
I consider Lar a good friend. Has nothing to do with his
owning a Kolb or whatever. Kolbs and this list are what were
responsible for our meeting. It could have been stamp collecting
or bowling. Makes no diff. I know the majority here feel the same.
I admit to spending a few hours today feeling sorry for myself.
Screwing up is something I do with regularity but somehow I
manage to get up the next day and make a fresh start.
Let us hear no more of this kind, it adds nothing and takes away
everything.

Max,
I do not know if your post on Big Lar was in jest or a personal attack. I
have met Larry a few times and he is a good friend and very knowledgeable of
many things, not just planes. I can understand why Larry has not finished
his MKIII, as he is involved with so many other things besides finishing his
Kolb.
Bob B. thanks for your post stating the same, this list is for sharing our
experiences and friendships through our postings.
Larry if it is okay with you I would like to join your club and stand beside
you my friend.

Wow Max,
Easy does it there big fellow, we jag around with Lar but keep it in good
taste, he has quite a project on his hands with that engine conversion and
just getting VaMoose to it's current state of completion is no small feat.
Keep your chin up Big Lar,

| Subject: | Valley Engineering question |
--> Kolb-List message posted by: Richard Pike <richard@bcchapel.org>
Got a question for Rick Neilson: I have been impressed for years with
Valley Engineering's ability to get great performance out of the VW, but
every one of their airplanes has always been unmuffled/incredibly loud.
Is there any way to make the thing work well and also be quiet? Is your
MKIII quiet? I am tempted in the Valley Reduction/VW direction, but
since my strip is right beside the subdivision, it is going to have to
as quiet as a stock bug.
Realistic? Pipe dream? 75 pounds of muffler? No way?
Thanks
Richard Pike

While waiting for Rick to respond, I can say that even tho' Vamoose hasn't
flown yet, the engine has been run quite a few times. It has the dual
exhaust system from Scat Engineering, and sounds like any other high
performance street VW. I can't prove this yet, but I do believe the prop
makes as much or more noise than the exhaust. I'm sure there are lighter
systems out there that would work well, too. Lar.
