I respectfully disagree with Big Lar on this. I want to know who you are. Please give us a little biography on yourself so we can know who is making these "profound" statements. Most of us have at one time or another posted some things about ourselves so others could appreciate where we are coming from and therefore get a better understanding why we say what we say. If you wish to make a contribution to this list, then it would seem reasonable for us to know you a bit better. If you disagree, then we have no choice but to judge you by your words to date, which are not leaving a very positive image. If you chose not to do this, which of course is your right, then please limit your comments to something on the order of Good Bye.

Whatever happened to your polystyrene (I think) streamline addons to the struts? Did they work out ok....I am going waaaaay back of course but I THINK OF YOU everytime I think of streamlining the wing struts. Also, I had the very same thing happen to me in my Firestar, one plug wire came off due to the plug nut backing off ....fortunately I could kill the ignition and just glide into my field in Ohio at the time, several years ago. Good Idea to bugger up the nut or check the tightness periodically. Am surprised, however,that your plane didn't shake horribly with only one lung workin, and that the throttle didn't work to some extent. As I recall, mine did.

Its gonna be a bit lengthy, so either delete now or settle back. My wife and I just closed on a property in the Eastern Oregon Desert. It is something that we both wanted, a 2600 foot airstrip and a cinder block hanger 40x50 for me and quiet, limitless view with a swimming pool and endless areas with no fences, to ride her horse for her. Everything was working out pretty good, We no sooner closed on the property than we were able to sell our house of 28 yrs here in Klamath. We have been making trip after trip taking stuff, mostly farming stuff, to the new house. A six and half hour drive each way. We had just taken a large truck full of stuff and had finished unloading most of it, when I see a falcon fly by, mine! She was really tired of the rides over and back riding in her hood so that she would keep quiet, so she sat outside and pulled and tugged on her jesses and leash until she pulled loose and off to see the wizard she goes. She made one pass at a quail that I was using for a lure and decided that she liked flying much better than food. Then she wouldn't let me get close to her again. I had invested a year of training on this bird and she was showing a lot of promise. It was really sad to loose her now, plus she was hampered by the jesses and swivel still attached to her. (major guilt trip) I had taken my Firestar over on a earlier trip, but hadn't flown it since last October, and I really wanted to do an annual before flying. Well I had fired it up and had fresh gas in it, and it had preformed well as usual. So when the winds calmed down, I took off and flew it for about 45 minutes looking at the area around the property. She preformed flawlessly as usual, my first landing was just as good as it was when I flew last October. I was up with the daylight the next morning and it was dead still, so I told my wife where I wanted to look for the bird and took off again. I looked for about 45 minutes, flying in some pretty remote spots and had no luck. My fuel gages were not functioning, ( One of the things that I really wanted to fix) so I decided to go straight cross country since it was only 7 miles that way and 18 by hwy. The country was rising and all of a sudden the engine cut back to idle. First I looked and saw an area in the sage that had only grass, big enough to land. I was sure that I couldn't get it back out of there, but first things first. Now here is really where the decisions get iffy! I checked and CHT's and EGT's were in range. I decided that my throttle cable had broken and it had defaulted to idle. No big deal, I had the spot made with no problem. In behind the spot was a canyon, a creek drainage on the other. I pulled the throttle all the way back and set up to land. I am here to tell you that your engine at idle is pushing you through the air. If it pushes your airplane on the ground, it pushes your airplane especially well in the air. Not enough to clear a canyon, but enough to keep your speed up. For some reason I was distracted enough that I did not cut the engine. At about fifty feet, I could see that the area was littered with some pretty large rocks, basket ball and a bit bigger. I remember thinking, "this is gonna hurt". Nothing to do now but make the best of it, flared at way too fast a speed for a boulder field, and bang, a cloud of dust and I am hanging in my harness with gas dripping out of the vent tube. So I cut the power, released the harness and climbed out. The left landing leg had broken at the wheel axle causing the plane to nose over hard into a boulder that I would have other wise straddled bending the rod that the rudders are attached to, munching my nose cone. The rudder never hit the ground. I checked for injuries and found that my middle finger somehow was sprained because I had been holding on to the throttle. No other cuts or scratches, ego was sprained as well. I went back over the debris field which was only about 15 feet long, and found that a rock small enough to only hit the rim caused the left leg to break, while the other wheel pulled a rock about the size of two basket balls out of the ground with no damage to the leg. I hiked out to the hwy "about a mile", and attempted to hitch hike back home. Well I walked four miles with every "honky" speeding up when they saw my thumb out. Apparently I don't look as trustworthy as I used to look. I had developed a couple of good blisters when a Mexican couple stopped and gave me a ride for the last 6 miles. I managed to get there just before the wife called up a search party. I changed shoes and socks, ( always wear good hiking boots when you fly), and we went back and took off the wings and flipped her back over to a much more dignified manner. I found that the front spark plug cap was off. I put it back on the plug and gave it a tug and it easily came off. Throttle cables were just fine. We then carried the wings for about 4 tenths of a mile to the trailer. We will go back with my quad, fasten a wheel to the broken leg, and pull her down the hill, across the creek and back up the hill on the other side. I will have to cut a fence to get her through, but I can repair that, then trailer her home. On my walk home I did see my errant falcon chasing some birds about six miles from home. I decided to stay for a few days longer to give her a chance to get hungry and perhaps she would come back home. It rained a bit on Sunday and at dusk the wind died so I pulled out an electric RC plane that I had just gotten to play with. I had just set the thing down on the ground when there was the falcon flying over my head wondering why I wasn't feeding her. I hot footed it back to the house and got my quail and called her down. She had apparently gotten lonesome because she really didn't eat that much. When she was done I put her in the "fenced weathering pen" that I had finally gotten time to put up. She pulled her foot up and was apparently happy to be back. I then went out to the RC plane and found that it had tipped over on its nose, I had apparently nudged the throttle in my run to the house, so the motor was fried. That is how I lost two planes in two days! I had intended to recover the plane this fall, but it appears that I will have to bump up the schedule a bit. I am going to put the steel legs and nerf tires on as well. I really don't think there is much damage to the frame, but of course I will not know for sure until stripping every thing. The wings, empennage, and boom is just fine.

Since my windshield has been dropped a few inches the gap seal is a continuation of el cheapo hardware store aluminum at the same level as the windshield. If you look close you can see the lexan root fences that keep the air on the wing. Having flown it without them I can say they made a BIG difference. The nose is sheet metal with a foam plug, which I have reshaped TWICE now and still not entirely satisfied.

Thats me to a `T`. By a strange coincidence I have a Challenger for sale. Very reasonable price as I must get it out of my hamgar to make room for the Kolb which I expect any day now. Rang the CAA (the last obstacle to my flying the Kolb) on Thursday to see where the paperwork was. The guy looked around and reported that it was actually on his colleagues desk and he was working on it and I should get my clearance `in a day or two`. After so many holdups I shall believe it when I see it but there does seem to be real danger of being able to fly the Kolb soon. In the meantime had a lovely evening flight for an hour last night in he Challenger. Why am I changing? You guys talked me into it....well...sort of.

From what I have seen on the Kolb list over the years is a group of old guys that fancy themselves as gentlemen... In reality they are a clique that uses tatics of group bashing of whoever they dont like and trying run them off the list. Their post are often worse and more scathing than they people they are trying to "correct". The conduct of this group is some of the worst that I have seen in any forum. > > They should look at their own conduct before judging others. > Sounds to me like Jetpilot's cousin or maybe he himself back under a different name?? Oh well it takes all kinds to make the world go round! We should remember that it's because of people like this that cause us to love people like Lar sooo much! :-) ~ Earl ________________________________ Message 31 ____________________________________ Time: 08:07:21 PM PST US From: "William Herren" Subject: Kolb-List: Shipping a prop --- MIME Errors - No Plain-Text Section Found --- A message with no text/plain MIME section was received.
