Hi Kolbers,
I am happy to report that all of the covering on Ms. Dixie is complete as of 12/31/2006.

spray on the poly brush. Fuslage tail boom and vertical stab are painted and put
together. Will have the poly brush (spray coat) on by tonight and the silver
will follow as well as the polytone this week. By the weekend i hope to have
her completely painted in areothane! Getting close gang! Take care

| Subject: | 2007 Flying Schedule |
I have updated my website with the tentative schedule of events that I will fly
the Kolbra to.
No details on the routes, except for Oshkosh.
Since I seldom fly directly to or from an event, I would like to hear of some other
locations that could be visited while on some of these trips.
I slacked off last year and only flew 208 hours. I plan to make up for it this
year and still finish the two airplanes I'm building in the garage.

Yah, OK, this is the 2nd of 3 boneheaded stunts I pulled when new to the
sport and somehow survived. I most certainly did learn from them, tho'.
The day after flying into that little 2500' dirt strip, my buddy and his son
wanted to go for an airplane ride, so I obliged them. The day was warm, in
the 70's, altitude a little over 3,000 ft msl, one way strip was moderately
uphill for takeoff, but with a bluff at the end that dropped away. Landing
there was kind of like coming into a downhill funnel, with the heavy 2nd
growth timber down the sides and at the end. Anyway, my buddy is big -
around 250, and his son about 220, and me at that time a little over 200.
The C-172 was low on gas, but figuring flight time to Weippe, time needed to
get to Lewiston to refuel, and dipping the tanks to double check, I figured
I had plenty for a quick go-round of the town. (when I fueled up at
Lewiston, ID the next day, I turned out to be right on the money on my fuel
estimate)
It took that 172 a long, bumpy time to start trying to fly and it finally
staggered into the air fairly near the end of the runway. Suction on the
seat was helping lift by then. We made a circuit of the little (pop 700)
town and lined up for landing. Mindful of the perk holes in the grassy
beginning of the strip, I landed fairly long, with 20 deg flaps. With the
bumpy strip, heavy load, higher altitude (I'd only ever flown out of sea
level strips at that time) and inexperienced pilot, I came in fast and
sinking fast. Plane bounced waaaay up on 1st touch and it looked like a
long way back down to that downhill strip, so instead of bringing it back
down and standing on the brakes, I hit the throttle and went for it. The
plane didn't climb. I'd had a bad experience with retracting flaps on a
go-round at Sequim Valley shortly before this, and knew the plane would sink
some if I retracted. Gritted my teeth, and hung on, realizing by then that
I'd made a bad boo-boo.
The end of the strip was coming up fast, and we were only about 1/2 way up
the trees. We were hanging on the prop with the stall warning buzzing
softly, and I'd had lots of practise with that. I knew we were going to
crash, so I reached for the throttle and started looking for a gap in the
trees to aim for and hope to take the wings off to slow the crash. Fuel was
low, so I wasn't too worried about fire. But - it was un-thinned heavy 2nd
growth, maybe 100 ft tall coming up, and there were no gaps, just a solid
wall of tree trunks, and fire suddenly got more important. All this seemed
in slow motion.
About then I saw light to the left out of the corner of my eye. Looked
over, and someone had built a house there, with a garage behind it, and had
cleared the bigger trees out, and just left some little ones for decoration.
The picture of that lovely gap is burned into my brain. I eased that plane
around and flew right thru those little treetops and went between the house
and garage. No idea if there was anyone there or not - I was totally
focused. Lifted a wingtip over a tree, then one the other way, flew thru
more treetops and came out into a little valley. Retracted the flaps, aimed
down valley and looked over at my buddy.
He was backed up tight to the door, with his arm across his son in the back
seat. I asked him why he was sitting that way, and he said "I knew we were
in bad trouble, and if he even flinched to distract you, I was gonna whop
him." OK, on the 2nd try, I touched 'er down like a feather, brought it
back to park.........and started shaking. Fun to look back on, but it
wasn't very funny at the time. Lar.
