Even if it were not IFR in many places the 40 knot headwinds would kill all the fun. Live to fly another day. I hope you guys who do/did make it have a great time. do not archive -------- Thom in Buffalo Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=63216#63216 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 07:36:10 AM PST US From: "pat ladd" Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Re: 1st post aka avoirdupois ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 07:53:28 AM PST US From: "pat ladd" Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Re: Full stall landings aka UNSRIBE ME --> Kolb-List message posted by: "pat ladd" I'l bet you would love to be at the Kolb Fly-in. Did you read my piece on getting to the factory early? >> Hi Ralph, I did indeed read your piece. Lucky you. I hope to make it one year but it is a toss up between Kentucky and Monument Valley . Dont think I can justify 2 trips to the States one year so I wil have to spread it a bit. Trouble is that the restrictions imposed by the so called `war on turrurists` make what was just a boring flight in to something which is a real pain in the backside. Being welcomed into the States by a 6ft wide black woman snarling `Dont cross the yaller line until I call` does not make it an experience I look forward too.. Such a pity because all the people I have met in the States have been helpful and friendly. With the exception of my waiter at Sardi`s but thats another story.

It is apparently a very lightweight scabbard to hold a gun, fishing rods, golf bag or whatever on a bike. Remembering that you carry a rifle on some of your expeditions I thought it might be interesting to you...Maybe worth a look Cheers Pat do not archive -- ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 08:13:08 AM PST US From: "Hedrick" Subject: Kolb-List: Firestar parts & Rotax 503 I had a 'small' problem with the wind on takeoff and now have several parts of a Kolb Firestar II for sale.

This happened on my second takeoff and, to make it short the cross wind was prob only 3 to 6 knots but I was brand new with the kolb and for some reason I took off with only 1/2 throttle or less, sort of gentle it in the air I guess. The 503 has tons of power. (I have only flown 150's, 172's, and my rv 6 (tail wheel) and never take off with less than full power. Go figure.) in retrospect I should have learned it in a no wind situation. I taxied it around, ok there, and when I took off the wind just took me off runway and picked up the upwind wing. The ailerons had no effect, I guess that I was too slow and my friend said that the wing was only 2 in off the ground when this happened. I cant even say that I hope this helps someone else, no one else would be that foolish. I will say that on landing when they are done flying- They Are Done Flying. Well, now I have parts. The cage is bent and prob cant be straightned, at least not without a lot of work. I figure that alum alone ought to be worth 50 to 100 dollars. :-) will get pics up prob next wk.
