Everything sounds real good to me.
When I first mentioned this Fly-In possibility, I did not mean for you to take
it on. But since you have, what can we bring to help you out? Sodas, beer, fruit
or whatever, these Kolbs have hauled groceries before.
Tell us what you want and we can add an item beside our names on the roster.

John W and all,
Don't need to bring anything. I know that doesn't set with some folks (the good
ones). If it will make folks feel better, we can put out a donation jar but
it really isn't necessary. In Starhill we enjoy and take pride in being good
host. Hope everyone finds that to be the case. The one thing that you could
do for me as a favor is to give a few of the locals a 15 minute ride. Especially
my landlord, who will be cooking Saturday night. Because of laying off for
so long and still making sure I put everything back together right, I haven't
taken a passenger up yet.
If you want to bring snack stuff or fruit for in between meals and at night, bring
what you like.
Would like you to bring one item though. I would like to establish the shortest
landing distance for Nauga Field. A little "freindly competition". If everyone
could bring a bean bag marker or sock weighted down, that would be great.
I figure everyone will have 6 or so landings by Saturday evening. If you nail
a landing that you want to measure, you drop the marker at your tire.
Rules and why's (first pass):
1) Distance will be measured from threshold to point where tire stops. Using
the tire because those Kolbra's have long snouts and wouldn't want you to be at
a disadvantage. A good approach can aim well short of the threshold and that
is to your advantage.
2) Markers can be repositioned up until Saturday evening (say 7:00 pm) when all
the flying is done for the day. If you get better, you can use your best.
3) The distance will be true ground roll with no brakes (honor system). Put this
rule in after seeing the video of John H at the Alvord. Also want to make
things even for the guys with smaller wheels and brakes. I land with no brakes
and have more than 500 feet to spare with no problem, most of the time.
4) Marker has to be heavy enough to stay put and small enough not to be an obstacle
or hazard on the runway. No blowing the marker back 10 feet with your prop
wash by "accident".
5) Each contestant must have a clear understanding of the obstacles at the end
of the runway. The only one of concern is the powerline at the edge of the road
on the NW end. If someone got real aggressive and snuck in between and even
with the tops of the trees, it could come into play. I'm talking real aggressive
though. Just need to be aware that it is there.
6) Only Kolbs are eligible for first prize. Other makes can participate for bragging
rights but I don't think that will be an issue.
If you have suggestions or changes, we can make them.
The first prize will be an OFFICIAL NAUGA. However, this NAUGA is kinda like the
Ryder's Cup or the Stanely Cup. The winner maintains possession until the
next sanctioned competition takes place. At that time, it is passed to the new
winner.
There has been a slight menu change. We were able to trap a wild Bopotamus today.
That is what we will be having for supper Satuday night. You'll have to
wait to hear the story behind the Starhill Bopotamus and the Nauga when you get
here. The Starhill story teller and head BS'er will explain it all as many
times as you are willing to hear it.
Gary Haley sent an email and said he plans to be there. Paul Petty and Mr Charlie
hope to come if they can get the test hours flown off in time. Haven't heard
from Steven Green yet. If someone can call him or send me his number directly,
I'll call him. There are a few locals that fly in and few others that may
to drive in and visit. Any others I don't know about?
Hope to see you guys soon. Hope the weather is with us too.
--------
Thanks too much,
John Bickham

| Subject: | Re: Ms Dixie update |
Well gang went for second taxi test today and found myself more comphy with Ms
Dixie. Brakes are better and noises are more fimilar to me now. Amazing how much
noise transends from the tail wheel to the cabin. My throttle is one touchy
SOB! I need to figure out a way to make it more manageable or just get used to
it. kept RPM's above 1500 the whole time and she ran much better. First taxi
test was fun second was even better as i went farther out on the ramp and the
hold short area and watched a citation land and taxi by me. dialed the pitch
back to 10 degrees and that seams to be better. DAR may be here saturday to do
inspection and first flight may happen this weekend if things go well. I hope
the bigger 6" tail wheel comes in tomorrow so i can get it mounted and see an
improvement in ground handeling. Stay tuned.........

OK you are right. How about only enough brakes to maintain centerline? No standing
it on the nose!
