guys
Bill Bronson is his name..Wrote a vw col. for Experimenter mag as I
recall..
I think you are correct.. seat tank? He also sells his version of half
vw plans . That is a half vw on the nose..
There is a half vw on a Kolb Firefly in east tenn. Haven't talked
with the fellow for a few months..His initial flights were very
promising.. Likely waiting out the winter before taking to the air
again..? Engine wt will likely be a bit less than a 447. 94 mm nickasil
jugs.
I have some ideas for a plane that I will call the "Ultra Fly" .
Will use a half vw.. Parts from an Ultra Star and a Firefly.. High
boom and training wheel.. :-) Herb

It hasn't been too cold but I haven't gone UL flying in < 20 deg F. It's no worse
than snowmobiling. The hardest part is getting everything prepared. Once
your sitting in the cockpit the hard part is over and the fun begins. But I
definitelly need a full enclosure!
Why is Ellery? How do I contact him re skis?

| Subject: | Re: Speaking of fabric |
Use chalk line. Snap a line to glue up to, and snap and trim the edge that you
are going to be gluing down. Leave yourself enough slack that the ribs won't
scallop the edge. I learned this while helping Larry Cottrell cover his firestar.
When I built my firestar, I thought I was doing a better job by pulling
all the slack out of the fabric as I glued. When it came time to shrink, I was
unable to use much heat on the ailerons and tail surfaces without bending the
tubes. We left more slack on Larrys and it came out nice- tight fabric, straight
tubes.
After you snap your trim line, paint a thin strip of poly tack over the chalk line.
This way all of the threads will stay in place after cutting and you will
have a nice clean seam.

I did my first ultralight flying in '82, North of Spokane... I bought a
brand new Robertson B1-RD and flew all through that first Winter... We
would make a short flight, land and stand around a 55 gal. burn barrel, take
another short flight, land and stand by the fire in the barrel and keep
repeating the process... The guy who owned the strip kept it plowed so we
could fly off the packed snow until the Spring thaw and there was too much
slush/mud...
Now I'm flying my Firestar with a full enclosure, wearing a snowsuit and
think 32 degrees is cold...

David, I bet that's the same field I was flying out of in '85~86. I
think it was about 5~8 miles North of Spokane. There were around 8
ultralights at the time, with most being tarped and parked under the trees.
The runway went E-W. I also flew a B1-RD out of there (#315, blue and
white).

George/Gang,
I grew up in North San Diego county in a little town called Rancho
Bernardo/Poway area during the 70's and 80's. Back then "Blacks Beach" was the
nude
bathing beach for the San Diego area. As a surfing youth, inexplicably the
rip tides would suddenly and forcefully push us over to the Black Beach surf.
I think I spent more time on the beach and surf then I did up on the cliffs
flying RC gliders.
George, one could appreciate the challenge mother nature there........I know
I did......and I'm not talking about the surf, or soaring either. ;O)

which reminds me when my wife barb and I went there 20 years or so ago, I
was utterly amazed at the wonder of the winds and high altitude of the cliffs
off of which people such as myself.... I considered myself as normal people
then..... were willfully jumping off the cliffs seemingly into the pacific
ocean. Of course they were immediately lifted before our eyes up as soon as
they launched themselves, above the lip of the cliff in an august ascension that
defied earthly description.
It was from this joyous scene that my pioneering spirit caused me to
meander to an area of the cliff that was cordoned off in fear that the cliff
would
take whatever was on it and deposit it abruptly 500 feet down into the
ocean. My wife called out in fear that I might disappear forever before the death
certificate was properly filled out, that I was on unhallowed ground, and
that my life was in danger. I peered over the cliff to the ground and yelled
back to her that I thought that I saw a nude man walking down the beach in a
black hat only.
Before I had pronounced "black hat" I felt her brushing my arm, with neck
craned, asking expectantly ....."where is he?"
I guess she showed her pioneering spirit too.
This happened before I purchased my Kolb Firestar KX......long ago.

Dennis, Tucson's pretty far from the canyon, but do you know if Kolb Rd.
has anything to do with the Kolb brothers who explored the Grand Canyon
and then wrote books and set up a photographer's shop virtually on the
canyon wall? I have a couple of their works and a DVD about them. They
were a couple of crazy guys!!! I first learned of them from a movie at
the Imax Theatre on the South Rim on a 'cycle trip out there. If you
haven't seen it and it's still playing, there's some incredible footage
re-creating their early 20th century excursion down the Colorado River
through the Canyon (before the dams); an adventure that a couple of
members who didn't do well with the extreme risk, quit to try to return
to civilization and were never heard from again. An ultralight was used
for a lot of the film making (but I don't know if was a Kolb). The
Kolb's studio is still in use as a shop and, I think, a museum.
Thanks a bunch for the local insight, Dennis. Cuz says there are
airplanes almost as far as you can see.

The strip we were operating off from is now houses... It was owned by Jimmy
Stanton and he kept his original design ultralight and Cessna 180 there...
The strip was off from Highway 395 where it curves from North to Northwest
between Spokane and Deer Park... The last time I flew in that area with my
old Cessna 185, it was all homes and there wasn't any evidence of the old
runway...
Sorry this isn't more Kolb related...

About 'fish scales' -- I always heard this finishing technique called
"engine turning' -- as on the cowl of the SPIRIT OF ST LOUIS and some
other aircraft of that era.
Anyone else remember that far back? It was a common term when I was
learning machine-shop work --

I have a real Full inclosure and with my heater system its really nice to go
flying in the fridgid temps
the only thing I dont like is pulling the plane out of the trailer and
riging it up in the real cold temps, but its nice after you have made a few trips
to the heater in the truck to warm up and I always let the plane get making
heat before I go flying , I can wear jeans and a light coat and sometimes I wish
I had taken the coat off before take off but I can controll the heat in
flight so I dont mind having the coat on

Yah, that's the proper term, but we know what he means and it's pretty
descriptive.......prob'ly more appropriate, even.
Are you back at home now, or still in my old stomping grounds ?? Turns out
that Marty Montez, the "Native American Artist" who was on the List for a
while a couple of years back, was in Palm Springs a couple of weeks ago,
too. Nice fella. Lar. Do not Archive.

Went to a laboratory school K-12 where both boys and girls had home
ec (cooking, baking, sewing!) and wood and machine shop/ foundry, as
well usual college prep. And yes, it was called engine turning, and
we learned and did it...think it was 11th grade for machine shop.

Russ, Yep that's the term I've known it as. If you want to be truly arcane,
it's also known as demascening. Might come in handy if you find yourself on
Jeopardy.

"Ya'll drop on in"
takes on a whole new meaning
when you live at the airport.

The field you guys are referring to is Deer Park Airport. This is where I
trained back in 1995 with Dan Nixon, in his Quicksilver MXII. He kept it
at Andy Knapp's farm, just off Argonne Rd, north of the eastern edge of
Spokane.
Once in awhile we would drop in to Mead Airstrip (which wouldn't surprise
me a bit if it's a housing area now). But mostly, we did touch and goes,
etc. at Deer Park. They had TWO runways. The North/South runway was for
regular airplanes, and the (Closed) runway that was East/West was used by
the U/L crowd.
