    Steve, I have a MKIII and it loads into my enclosed trailer backwards. I don't have any choice since whoever made the trailer designed it with a long, pointy nose so that's the only way my plane will fit. But I don't understand why/how the plane would take a beating just because it is in the trailer a different way. Couldja explain please!

    Subject: Re: Monument Valley Web Pages
    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Larry Bourne" <biglar@gogittum.com> Thanks very much Richard. Unfortunately, my camera, a Nikon Coolpix 8800 has been discontinued, and it doesn't look like Nikon is going to bring out a successor. Maybe a used camera ?? When my cousin's daughter asked about a camera, I did a lot of research and recommended a Fuji S9000. Boy, is Bob Dalton gonna get some mileage outa that one. :-) The nice thing about a digital camera is that the pictures are free, once you've bought the camera, so get plenty of memory and take LOTS of pics. On the MV trip, I took 729 pics in 5 days using a 1gb card and downloading at night. Sorting out which ones to use - especially on the ATV page - was really tough. Seems like 1 pic in a series will have that extra "something" that sets it apart, and if you take enuf, some are bound to come out well. For example, that sunrise on the ATV page is the last shot of a series of 12 that I took over about 10 minutes, then I cropped it strongly for the published version. Thanks again............. Lar.

    Subject: Re: Something New!!!!!!
    Thanks All Steve: I all ready have a trailer and it will be enclosed. Will: The photos are great. I particularly liked the kneeling trailer. The attached photo shows my boat trailer that I'm converting to a Kolb hauler. Note the brackets below the lights. The main gear will sit on the brackets when loaded and the wheels will be out in the open outside the trailer enclosure. I will be keeping the plane at a small airport community/county grass strip in Florida 4-5 months a year. They don't have many hangers and don't allow any on the airport grounds. I will keep my plane in the trailer while I'm down there. When parked I will take the wheels off the trailer and the main gear brackets will sit on the ground. My problem is the enclosure and a system to get the plane in and out of the trailer with the least effort.

    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Gherkins Tim-rp3420" <rp3420@freescale.com> Vic, Go to our website www.milows.com and click on the "Permanent gap seal" in the Xtra side of the site. You can see the rivets/clecos holding the piece onto the gap seal, and if you look close in one picture you and see the holes drilled to hold it and the windshield to the frame of the plane where the windshield ends up around the gap seal. Ours did not fit really to well, but with some prodding and flexing and reworking a bit you can warp it to fit. A word about fiberglass parts, you can leave them in the sun and get them warmed up and the epoxy/resin will soften/relax up until cool, making it easier to warp and fit the part. But once warmed up to a certain temperature the epoxy/resin will not soften/relax again until you warm it up again but into a higher temp. They will set after cooling from coming from a higher warmer temp and hold that hardened setting until warmed even hotter and so on....does that make sense?? Here in Arizona, it doesn't take long to get a part warm to make it a little easier to bend and mold those ears around the corner. We used just one aluminum fabric rivet on each ear to pin them back on the upper chromoly fuse tube. It took some pushing and flexing to get it flush with a chromoly upper fuse tube. Just set up your plane outside in the heat of the day and warm that part up in the sun and have another set of hands to help hold, cuss and drill and rivet. Hope that helps, let me know if that answers any questions. We have digital cameras and can send specific pics if necessary (cropped of course). Im not sure you could see the ear attachment rivet in the MV picture just recently posted?? Cant remember???

    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Gherkins Tim-rp3420" <rp3420@freescale.com> Vic, Your right, The brow is attached to the gap seal with aluminum rivets. I keep forgetting that our gap seals are permanent and are different then that of standard Kolb. I worked with ours so much that it becomes the "norm" to me. The gap seals on both of our Kolbs are attached to the fuselage and stay that way even when wings are folded. To unattached my Firestar II gap seal takes a few screws and bolts, but a bit of welding back in the engineering stage before paint to make it work. On uncle Craig's Xtra many 3/32 aluminum rivets, a few 1/8" rivets and a few bolts and screws hold his together. We did not use screws on the gap seal brow and windshield area as you suggested, but easy to drill out 1/8" aluminum rivets. We did not modify the oil tank at all, but found the AN fittings.....uncle Craig was the one that scrounged those up. If you can't find any, let us know and we will be glad to help you find whatever you need to make it work. You know where to find us, Tim Firestar II-"Iditarod" -----Original Message----- From: owner-kolb-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-kolb-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Vic Peters Sent: Saturday, June 10, 2006 12:36 PM Subject: Re: Kolb-List: the great "gapsby" for VIC --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Vic Peters" <vicsvinyl@verizon.net> Tim, Now I get it.

    I strongly disagree with you Boyd. There are places where your to far from the telephone company's CO to get DSL. Besides some people have to compromise between their expenditures, $30-$60 a month for high speed links or a tank of gas for the plane. Also some people have to travel whether personal or business and while on the road they like to stay in touch with the group list. That usually implies dial up. Also with dial up while most mail clients can screen restrict downloading files by size, the messages still remain on the server until deleted which develops another problem, they fill and over flow your mail box. While I was working over seas I used to enjoy getting on the list and reading messages. Would it not be better for people to learn to create there own web page for photos and have a link to their web site. Most ISP give you an amount of space for use for by the subscriber for web pages. jerb At 12:58 PM 6/9/2006, you wrote: > Are you the last two guys on the planet with dial up? > > >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> > >No=85=85=85=85..
