Hi Eugene
Thanks for the link to George's photos. I noticed a picture of Sam Peachey,
I had met him a few years go at the AirVenture in Oshkosh and he is a very
interesting person, he invited me and my wife to come to his camper trailer
and meet his family, I was surprised that he and his daughter flew Kolbs.

| Subject: | S.P. Practical Test |
--> Kolb-List message posted by: Lanny Fetterman <donaho@csrlink.net>
Stephen and All, The test was brutal, we started at 9 am. and finished at
3 pm. The oral part lasted for four hours, we took a half hour lunch break
then flew for an hour, then a half hour of paper work. My brain was drained
when we were finished. The examiner asked at least two guestions from each
standard, however he was VERY fair. If my answer didn`t please him, he kept
dragging out information from me until he was satisfied. He zeroed in on
air space, we spent about an hour looking at a sectional map, he would
point to something on the map, and have me tell him everything I could
about that air space. If I said that I could not fly in a certain airspace
with a S.P. rating, he wanted to know if I could fly under or over it. As
it is an open book test I spent a lot of time finding the answers in the
FAR`S. The flight test consisted of everything listed in the standards,
once again he was very fair. Before the flight he told me the standard is
not perfection, as long as the outcome of the maneuver was never in doubt.
I guess that is a judgement call on his part. It is my opinion that the
examiner can make you or break you , I was lucky to find a good one. Lanny

| Subject: | Trailering a Kolb |
--> Kolb-List message posted by: "George Alexander" <gtalexander@att.net>
Kolbers:
Finally got around to putting up pictures of the trailer setup that I use to store
and transport my Firestar II. (Finally..... shoemaker's children and all
that stuff.)
Go to: http://gtalexander.home.att.net and then click on "Trailering a Kolb"
Although I say so in the web material, in case you miss it, I want to acknowledge
those that contributed to this being a good alternative to enclosed hangar
space.
Mike Shackelford built the trailer. Much of the design came from Richard Swiderski's
trailer with Mike adding many neat features. Trailer is solidly built,
yet not terribly heavy. It did well by the Firestar moving from WV to NJ (365
miles) and then from NJ to FL (1250 miles). Contributing to features/changes
since I have had it are my two neighbors at Airport Mantee... Chris Mallory
and Beauford Tuton. To all these guys..... I thank you. The contributions
by all of you allow me to pull up to the trailer, off load the plane, put it together,
do a thorough preflight, don my gear and be ready to go in 30-35 minutes.
(That assumes no one is around who wants to chat.) Similarly, if I had
to get it out of there (as in hurricane evacuation), I could have the FS secured
for travel in the trailer and the trailer up on its wheels and ready to roll
in a couple of hours. (Since I leave the trailer at the airport all the time,
it is strapped down to anchors similar to mobile homes and the wheels removed
to get it lower to the ground making it easier to roll the plane on and off.)
Again, thanks to the contributors.
On a side note, in the process of putting this stuff up, discovered that I had
inadvertantly wiped out Dennis Kirby's material when I put Larry Cottrell's.
I apologize to Dennis. Stuff's getting harder to keep up with.
If any others have trailer material that they want up on this site, please feel
free to contact me.

| Subject: | Melted D-Cell batteries |
--> Kolb-List message posted by: "David Key" <dhkey@msn.com>
I put the batteries in the ELT and the ELT didn't work. I started working on
something else and after a few hours went back to the ELT and there was a
liquid all over it. Upon inspection it looks like at least one battery sprug
a leek. So do I have bad batteries? A short? I'm 99% sure I put them in the
right way. Should I put another set in the same way?
Thanks,
David Key

David, Before you do anything I'd think that last 1% would be worth
determining.

Being a new guy, my question is concerning an aircraft similar to a
Kolb.
Can anyone tell me about an airplane called the Ferguson FX -4-2?
I would appreciate any comments regarding the aircraft.
thanks,
bob
