For color coordination of gauges to panel you receive a 10 out of a posible 10.
For number of instruments, a 9 out of 10. "ulfiler", and Bill Vincent beat you
by one instrument. They also have more switches, lights and stuff. Always a
great thing to show potential pilot. (As an old Harley guy, chrome spoke for us.
It didn't matter if it ran or not. When people looked at it they knew you was
the man. HA Ha!) Stuff is good, therefore more stuff is better.
For location, location, location; you receive a 9 out of a 10 only because your
center gauge (ASI) is not perfectly centered in the vertical.
I will have to deduct a point also for that structural bolt holding your windscreen
post mount. I'll give that point back if you paint it white or black.
Now if you also located that ASI in that spot with future intent of installing
a bubble indicator, then I will add an additional point AND give you your removed
point allowing a 11 to a posibel 10 point. As the "self appointed Instrument
panel /gauge cluster judge, I am allowed to do that.
THerefore, all in all, you have a better than perfect score. Keep up the good work.
And remember you other guys: : "Sometimes it's not about the flying. It's
also about looking good for the hanger monkeys. Eye candy"!
And, I also like the heel brakes. That'l let one turn on a dime, I'll bet.
Judge not, least you be judged, here in Ohio, or anywhere for that matter, Ralph!

Question for all you hps: Do you have any time to actually look
around and see the world unfolding beneath you, or are you busy
reading and trying to make sense of all those, gages, dials, clocks
and pseudo-IFR round cutouts? I don't doubt that someone will proudly
show us an ALL GLASS COCKPIT soon! Odd that many pooh-pooh GA, but go
right ahead and actually install as many, and in some instances, more
clocks/holes than many GA planes. With a little training you can do
IFR with Needle. Ball, and Airspeed.
Let the Thread Begin.

I'm with you BN. No row of circuit breakers for me, all inline
automotive fuses
behind the panel. I don't expect them to pop and haven't been
disappointed.
-Besides, resetting a circuit breaker is just kidding yourself;
something is wrong.
Better fix it now.
Have to admit though, watching Thom Riddle's fancy multicolored moving
map
gizmo last sunday was fascinating. I remember my old aironicky had
about 4
gages in front and a fine view. My neighbor had an ifr citabria with a
panel so
tall you couldn't see out. I told him the first thing I would do is
take a hacksaw
and cut the durn thing down to size! Now in his old age he's flying a
single place
flightstar. Still has more gages than I do.

jsflan(at)valornet.com said
"but just chatted with Travis who is trying to help
me to rectify an A&Ps foul-up and get the red Kolb in the air again in spite
of the visitor load."
Sorry about your problems. I know the feeling, believe me. And Travis is one seemingly
super human. I just met him the other day and I saw this, well for lack
of a better description: "appendage" coming from his right ear and a large black
circle around his mouth.
Not desiring to stare, I had to ask Dennis. He said as a child, this began growing
and hasen't stopped. It appears that he is able to communicate with anyone
that calls the Kolb factory while walking around the plant! I was amazed. Not
only that, but he can apparently focus his attention to that person on the phone.
I would ask a question and he would answer, but not me. I looked around
and nobody else was around. Amazing. If anyone could help you while Kolb is knee
high in Kolbers and wanna-be's, its him. Denny says that if someone calls and
it rings more than one time "Travis is on the phone with another customer!"
What a man.
I hope you resolve your problem with their help. And yes, they know all the real
non discript words we use to describe real air plane parts!

See, that's the problem with you old time pilots, get the weight down and remove
the obstructions. Now what kind of advise is that? Any real pilot knows that
707, 727, 737, 747, (whew) 757, 767, 777 and the new, as yet announced 787, all
have itsi-bitsi windows to look out of. The major aircraft manufacturers have
studied the problem and have discovered that if you can get them to rely on
instruments rather than seat of the pants and visual's like what out the window,
you can improve the get from here to there procedures and skip the barnstorming.
THe only reason that large commercial airplanes have windows at all is
to provide the pilot with reference to day and night. And the only reason for
that is so when the pilot gets on the mike to greet the passengers, they know
to say: "Good morning, Ladies and Gentlemen, and welcome to ....." and replace
the time reference with afternoon or evening. I was talking with one of the chief
engineers at Lockheed-Martin just the other day about this issue. He stated
to me, quite emphatically that they were working on a light bulb system and
then they could remove all the windows up front!
Technology today has advanced to the point that a small hole in the nose of the
plane, a small digital camera and a 14" flat screen mounted on the center of
the instrument panel can show you "everything" that's out front worth seeing.
Why, just think about it. All one would have to do is take a TV tray and mount
a flat screen display on it, set it on their lap, and bobs your uncle! We need
to forge forward outa the dark ages gentlemen and into the new technical age
of information, information, information (marketing people, who know, suggest
if you want to get them to remember it, you repeat it three times).
Ah yes, improving the fun of flying, while removing the "danger" factor.

I was looking at the Barnstormers site a while ago and discovered 36 Kolbs for
sale. Many names I have seen posted on here. Its really sad to see.
They range from busted through unfinished through many-many happy hours of flying.
Not a type is missing from Ultras through Kolbra's.
I think even every motor ever tried has been on one or another on the lsit.
Sad to see something like this. As one door closes, another one opens. I hope all
that are selling are still staying in flying in some form. Just stay away from
them gyro XXXXX things. Scarry!

OK .. I'll be your Huckleberry.
Just got a new "wide angle lens" today.
Test it out in the next few days.

No ....... that's why we do this thing we do.
It's so we "don't" remove the danger factor.
That's the only reason we do it.
It's not a game - it's as real as you want to make it.
Anyone can go to Disney World and ride the scary roller coster!
You won't die.
Or play an online game and get killed.
You won't die!
But we have only "one man" with what we do.
And you can die!
That's what makes it real.
I've Scuba dived, Sky dived, Climbed rocks...etc, etc, etc.--- boring.
This is the only thing that I've done - that has lasted - 25 years.
It is dangerous because it's real.
It's real because it's dangerous.

Ever look at "Cub's for sale" on Barnstormers ?
Maybe the Kolb market has matured to that of a GA plane.
Maybe not so sad?? Maybe a good sign?

I don't do flight sims because I suck at it. I doubt I would be
much better at RC.
Do pretty good with real airplanes, in spite of instead of because of
any danger. Sensuous without drugs.

You might look into "machine swaged" tail wires with 1/2 turn buckle
swaged into one end since you already know the length of your wires.
They are adjustable about an 3/4 inch per wire. Lots of AP's have a swage
machine, hell we got one! (I know I sent you this before but?)
<http://www.mindspring.com/~possums/Modtail&swagedwires.jpg>http://www.mindspring.com/~possums/Modtail&swagedwires.jpg
And they've got something to take the place of those rusty old muffler springs
now - if you can afford it.
Cost about $25.00 from CPS and is stainless steel and you don't have to
take your muffler off to put it on.
Only problem so far.... is that the Stainless Steel tends to cut into
the AN bolts - after about 60 hours.
Solution -
"Order new stainless steel AN (the ones
with the springs) that came with the kit.
CPS part # 30385 - you can see one at :
