You are a wonderful group of people. And, thanks for the info reference Kolb pricing. I'll follow your good advice. Sincerely, Roger Anderson http://new.mail.yahoo.com ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 08:16:38 AM PST US Subject: Kolb-List: Re: Kolb Glide Ratio (UNCLASSIFIED) From: "David Lucas" > Boeing 737 has a fairly good glide ratio There used to be a 'rule of thumb' for the 737 so called 'Double Hush' approach; Range; Twice your Altitude Time; Half your Altitude So, from 30,000 ft; Range about 60 nm, Time about 15 minutes. That gives a glide ratio of about 12:1, but, like you say, not exactly the best type for an off airport landing !!! In my current Turbo Prop type, weight and therefore inertia makes a considerable difference in the profile (at idle thrust) with a lightly loaded aircraft going down considerable faster than if your heavy.

This past spring I flew over to meet him after e-mailing him to see if he would be around the airport. As I taxied off the runway, at Shelbyville, a voice came on the radio "58 sierra golf, are you here to see Ray Anderson?". Ah yes. "This is his son Roger and I will be back in a few minutes". Roger was just departing for a trip around the pattern in his plane. Needless to say my visit was great and will be remembered for many years. I have attached a couple of photos.

I tested out a Kolbra recently and really enjoyed it's flight characteristics. I am interested in finding one for sale in the mid 20's with a 912 or one for less with a 2-stroke that I could replace. If you know of one for sale or someone who is considering selling, please give them my number. Also, I have seen some postings regarding the Slingshot. Could someone fill me in on the differences between these two models. Maybe the Slingshot would work for me as well. I see that there is one for sale in PA. I hope to find a plane and have it ready for winter ski flying by the time snow flies. Also, I would really like to take it to Sun n Fun this April. I really enjoyed my trip to Oshkosh the last 2 years in My Aerolite 103 but need to upgrade for longer trips. I have been reading the list for a few weeks now and like the hutspa of the members and their zest for life. I hope I can make this happen so I can meet some of you at the fly-ins around the country. The wife has already resigned herself to the fact that I have found a new adventure to pursue so at least the main hurdle is cleared. Now it's down to finding and/or building the right plane. Let me know if you locate one. Thanks for the help. P.S. Hi to John H. It was great talking with you at Oshkosh last summer. Thanks for turning me on to the Kolb.

Its back seat is a small jump seat like a Firestar II. It is the fasted Kolb model, and John H could fill you in on its handling manners. Lurays bird that is one of the finest examples of the model you will find.
