One of my more memorable flights was also in an AT-6 for an hour of aerobatics.
What surprised me was how much of the actual aerobatic flight I was allowed to
do, with the instructor walking me through each maneuver. My pilot/instructor
Gina Moore is best known as the only female barnstorming pilot in America. She
owns the business Warbirds SkyVenture based in Gallatin TN. HIGHLY recommended
if you ever get the chance!
http://www.warbirdskyventures.com
To maintain Kolb connective, I plan on second round of taxiing practice this
weekend, and since I will not be able to make OSH this year hope to arrange so
flight time with a CFI here who trains for Sport Pilot.
To everyone traveling to OSH this coming week, please have a great, SAFE time!

Ken has already added this info but i thought i would post it here as well.
The first time I left the ground was for 1 hour of aerobatic instruction in a T-6
Texan. The date was 8/18/1996. Attached is a pic of my final preflight briefing.

MkIII (c&x) owners: I was looking at the TNK pdf drawings for
fuel piping. I have a similar setup, with the plastic tanks,
dip tubes, etc. Question, if anyone is using the parallel suction
shown, how evenly are your tanks drawing down?
Also, instead of creating the vent in the handle, I made use of the
female threads already in most chemical tank caps and put in a
small stainless barb fitting. Stick the vent tube on that with no
clamp.
When you unscrew the cap the tubing swivels on the fitting
with no problem. -in addition the cap will stay attached to the tube
and won't fall into an "unreachable zone".
-BB
BTW, I blow through the vent to check if mud daubers (dobbers to you
southerners) have blocked it.

Ed,
FF#oo7 on floats comes in at the full max weight allowed for part 103. With
the BRS it weighs over 320lbs. Bryan M is about 200lbs and says that the
Firefly handles almost as good as a land plane version. I have never flown any
other Firefly so I cant give a comparison. The Firefly really handles the extra
weight. also keep in mind that the floats add a lot more drag.

I stand corrected. Dobbers must be midwestern.
First year I parked the Kolb up in the open front shed they filled
every unused screw hole on the suzuki engine, plus the distributor
vent. I covered the holes with silicone seal.
Yesterday I squirted the beams overhead to cut down on the
sawdust sprinkling on the wings.

Bob, I am using standard Kolb tanks on my Mk III and use two fuel valves
located where the flap handle pivots. I have a fuel return valve
selector and a fuel supply valve selector to feed my throttle body fuel
injection system. This allows me to direct the return fuel to either
tank. That way, when fuel amount becomes an issue, I can empty the
port tank by directing it's fuel. via the return line, to the starboard
tank. Now, I can easily see how much fuel I have left and fly the rest
of the flight on the starboard tank.

Bob B/Gang:
No sweat.
Spring is a dangerous time in my old hanger. Those big carpenter bees
can cut a 2X8 rafter in the blink of an eye. They keep my airplane
covered with saw dust and bee crap. The crap is of the consistency of
epoxy glue. I spend a lot of time with a squirt gun and bug spray
knocking them out of the air in mid flight. They are so dumb they
come right back to the same place so I can get'em again. However,
they usually win the war, and I win a battle every once in a while.

Since the list is mixed company we shall keep things polite:
-besides, at 65+ my hydraulic pressure isn't what it yooster be.
It was some kind of cheap water soluble poison in a squirt bottle
from dollar general. Seems to work, at least temporary. No dust
the next day. The bee crap John refers to is a tough, yellowish
deposit. I clean it all off with generic windex and those nice soft
blue paper shop towels. Too lazy to spread tarps on the wings
every time and I pay the penalty.
I did sight down the tail tube recently and no body was living or
depositing in there.

I am using the parallel connection and the tanks even themselves out with
use and/or with atmospheric changes. Fill one tank today and tomorrow you have
two half tanks. I also have a fuel gauge sensing one tank but always go by
flying time. I can push it to 2.5 hrs at 500-5500 RPM but look to put down at 2
hrs. (old habit).
Have not experienced any problems with this arrangement in 45 hrs.

Hi All,
I have 780 hrs. on my Kolb Mark III. It has always had the standard parallel fuel
tanks with a probe in the pilot side tank. It works very well. Drains equally.
I also have a 6 gal. bladder tank for a total of 16 gals. It has its own fuel
pump and pumps into the fuel line that comes out of the tanks going to the
engine. It fills up the tanks in flight. When I get down to 4 gals. of fuel I
flip the switch and in a couple of minutes I have a full tank that I can read
the level on my fuel gauge.

Hi Bob,
CTSW is a high wing which I like better. Plus very roomy cabin, easy access doors,
much higher cruise, lower stall, more fuel (34 gal) and range (1000 + miles),
110 lbs. luggage, better visability, more storage, better glide ratio (14:1).
Pitch and roll trim system. BRS chute and great instrument panel (Dynon D-100
and D-120). Approach at 50 mph and stall at 37 mph. It weighs less than the
sting by 100 lbs. and has a higher useful load of 688 lbs. (Side note* my figures
may be off a pound or two, but very close. I don't have their specs. side
by side.)
I'm already drooling. LOL
KitPlane list it as the best selling lsa plane in the U.S.
Delivery date is first of Dec.
