Arty, it's good to hear you and Larry made it in good shape this morning! Also
good to hear others are arriving safely today. Hopefully Miss P'fer has arrived
by now too. Weather sounds great. Hope to have more of the same in the morning.
Forget the fuel cost... these experiences are priceless! ... a good line for your
hubby :) Kidding aside, very few have the guts and the opportunity to do what
you are doing so just enjoy every minute of it... it's what great memories
are made of.
I'm looking forward to seeing you and the rest of the gang tomorrow morning!

| Subject: | Calling Dave Bigelow |
Dave, How is the HKS coming along? What kind of CHT and EGT readings are you
getting at cruise RPM?
Still sorting mine and just wanted to compare notes. I can't seem to keep
CHT's under 300 in the 4200 to 4500 RPM band, but they're just fine at full
throttle. I have been slowly dialing out prop pitch to bring climb RPM up,
but haven't seen any improvement in cruise temps yet. Tomorrow I'll be
calling the factory to ask about raising the jet needle one notch if this
last adjustment doesn't get it.

| Subject: | Mark IIIC won't turn right in straight and level |
Need help with this one.
A local friend of mine purchased a Kolb Mark IIIC. I think the previous owner
was the former partners of the TNK. I'm terrible with names but I remember he
was a big old boy. I think I remember him flying this plane at the first TNK
homecoming I went to.
Anyway, this Mark IIIC will not turn right in straight and level cruise. The stick
moves easily to the left but takes two hands to move it a even a little bit
to the right. If you put the plane in a climb or a descent, it unloads the
problem and allows the stick to move to the right.
I've looked it over and see no obvious problem. I noticed that the center line
of the elevator hinge on the left side is not exactly centered with the pivot
bolt. Off about a 1/8" I suggested getting that aligned and tightening the cables
a bit.
If anyone has faced this problem or has suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks too much,

| Subject: | Kolb flyers in San Francisco Bay area |
I have a Kolb Mark III classic with a Rotax 582 that I am returning to
flying condition and would like to license as LSA.
I am presently keeping the plane at my home in Pinole and I have a hanger at
Napa County and I work in Napa. Anyone in this area that has gone thru the
LSA paperwork or who is flying a Kolb?
I am looking for some local help and camaraderie however All replies from
anywhere are welcome.
Dan
