Almost done the DAR can't see it till Sept 8th!! I wanted to do the first flight labor day. The pic was huge (1.6meg), I shrunk it down and saved it as a .GIF (300k) hope that worked. John W. came by and took a look a while ago. Everything was going smoothly for the first 5 minutes, then he ask me to give him a note pad and leave the hangar while he stayed and inspected my plane. 90 minutes later he had 65 things to do better!!! I'm done with his list, greatfull for it, and ready to fly.

Why a man would have to be mighty skinny to fit between some of them belts and adjusting in flight would be scary, but some of you guys can "fly and chew gum" at the same time. I keep biting my lip!

Do you think you can make it look that purty? There are some fantastic flying machines on this site and yours is at the top. I too want to see better quality photo's and some details of the cabin.

" I believe one of the posters on this site says the same thing about people and his dog! Ha,Ha. Man, seriously, some of these people need to sit down with their shrink and discuss what is really bothering them. I think they could walk away a lot less troubled and a little nicer to their fellow man. I have discovered in my few short 61 years of life, we need all the friends and people on our side we can get in this world. Its shrinking day by day! My old enemy's are coming back around. And some of them have become my friends. I'm not certain if I changed since then or they have. Ralph, hiding somewhere in Ohio.

The first time I flew I had ratchet straps and almost killed myself on landing because it took two hands to release and was too slow. The type I use now can be operated with only one hand. Much better. >That is a poor mans auto-pilot, is it not? Of course.

    Subject: 912ULS Gearbox Checkup
    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "John Hauck" <jhauck@elmore.rr.com> Hi Gang: Flew down to South Mississippi Light Aircraft this morning to have the gearbox inspected. Passed with flying colors. No wear after more than 1,200.0 hours. In fact, we could not shim it up any tighter than it was approximately 450 hours ago when I had the slip clutch installed. Bearings and gears looked new. Flew 360 sm in 3.9 hours. Not bad for a 15 year old fat ultralight. Take care, john h mkIII

    Subject: One of them dreaded questions
    I'm currently in California getting my LSA repairman maintenance rating. This afternoon we were doing some fabric work and the instructor pulled out a wing from a crashed Ultrastar. My first reaction when looking at the wing root fittings was shock. Compared to my Mk III and Firestar it seemed the swivel and the spar follow through fitting had been installed backward. Donnie at TNK couldn't answer my question (you don't have TNK on speed dial?) and we both agreed if anyone could it would be John H. After some reflection I think everything might be per Homer, but I'm still interested in learning the answer. Thanks guys, Rick -- Rick Girard "Ya'll drop on in" takes on a whole new meaning when you live at the airport.

    Rick... I'm not sure this is what you're asking about, but the Ultrastar wing pivot s on the front fitting, not the rear fitting like all the other Kolbs do...

    David, Like I said, I figured it was per Homer even though it looked so odd at first glance. Just trying to expand my knowledge base. The link doesn't work, but thanks for responding.
