No,

Myself and my kids would appreciate anyone wanting to explain the trick. :-)

You're absolutely right about pilots magnetically drawing together
at parties, meetings, etc. Richard Bach wrote quite a bit about this.
Good also that old enemies can socialize peacefully & friendly-ly.
But many of the poor Args in the Falklands didn't even know where
they were, or why. No reason for them to bristle at the Brits
Can't imagine anyone butchering the English language worse than some

Hi all,
As a relatively new member to this list, ( MK-3 owner, for a year in
1996 ), & recently acquired MK-3 owner again), I see posting from people
all over the place, with hints of who has what plane & their locations.
For instance, the guy that has a MK-# 2 miles off of I-81 & the guy in
Nashville thinking of building a MK-3.
My question is this, is there a map, or listing available that shows
who`s got what Kolb model & geographically where they are?
Thanks, Jim In Cookeville, TN

Most people that out the trick - don't know the trick and
have never seen the trick.
Not so much the pant leg as the magnets.
That's why it cost so much.
This is not for the inexperienced. These can break fingers if a
mistake is made. This is absolutely the strongest, most dangerous
product they carry. Please, don't buy these unless you know what
you're doing and are prepared to store it carefully away from
children and other folks inexperienced with large, dangerous magnets.
I'm not outing the trick either - it's way too expensive for what you
get in materials, but
you'll never figure it out yourself.
And yes - like Larry says "Possums, you are so full of crap"
That would be me.

No Russ - that's what these are usually ordered for.
They don't need to be "in her purse"
Just put them within 15 feet of her purse.
January credit card statements are a lot nicer.

Hello Jim,
Welcome back to Kolb flying! I am a newbie myself, picked up a Firestar II with
503 about a year ago, but still am working on finding the time to get some
training before I take her up. Has been my favorite line of aircraft for many
years walking the vendor section at Oshkosh, and finally have one in the backyard!
I am located in Manchester, not very far from you. GPS coords 3529.59N 08602.44W
I built a small grass strip here and am currently working on the hangar. About
half way complete with that project.
I think you will find this email group to be very informative and helpful...
with a great sense of humor and an occasional surprise or two! Its full of great
folks who love flying Kolbs.
There is a great flying club in the Nashville area I would highly recommend you check out, Middle Tennessee Ultralight Group. They usually meet the 3rd Thursday each month at BNA. Talk a look at their website http://www.mtug.us/index.php
Maybe will see you at a meeting soon!

Jerb,
Thanks for the comments on the shop construction. You are very observant, yes,
the building sidewalls are nested in a trough groove along the foundation. Your
concerns about water damage is a legitimate one, were the walls to be left
standing in the open trough. But once the building is completed, squared, level
and bolts tightened these troughs will be filled in with a concrete grout.
Attached is a picture of my brother in laws building we erected over 10 years
ago showing the grouted in wall. The grout fills in the trough area both inside
and outside the wall.
This is one of this buildings strong points, as after the grouting process the
building has been rated to withstand 125 MPH winds. Its overall design is an
extremely strong method of construction and very easy to assemble without the
need for a professional crew (me, my dad, sisters, nieces and nephews are putting
this up ourselves!). The sheet metal skin acts as the structure so there
are no beams, poles or other structure needed. After building my bro in laws,
I was quick to buy one for myself but it took me 10 years to find the right place
to set it up! Glad its finally going up!
If anyone has any question about its construction, please feel free to ask. Will
post a few more pics as work progresses.
Sure hope all are having a great holiday weekend!

Mike,
Like the looks of your building. Please excuse this silly question but looking
at your pad it appears you have a U channel at the edge in which the hangar side
wall rest. Question is the channel temporary during erection or will it stay
there.
The reason I ask will not rain travel down the wall and fill it up channel - being
at the same level as floor inside will not water come inside. A difference
in height between the wall and inside floor is a good design to minimize that
occurring, but with the outside edge it forms a channel with both being the
same height might cause you water problems. I see where the channel would help
during erection. If the outside perimeter of the channel were slightly lower
than the level of the floor, it might prevent water migrating inside but I would
be concerned about a rust problem over time with your wall setting in a trough
of water and dirt.

software! Think i have it fixed, so heres a test message.
After several long months waiting for the concrete work to be done, then weeks
cleaning and prepping the building components (after over 9 years in storage),
things are finally taking shape!
With the weather being very favorable the next few days, hope to complete the major
part of construction in that time. That is as long as my crew can hang in
that long! (Family, free labor, cant complain!)
I hope everyone has an enjoyable, happy and safe holiday weekend!

My 503 with gual Ducati ignition is supposed to have plug gaps of .014 - .018 per
the manual. I can be hard to start if the plug gap is larger than spec.
