As a "drive in" participant, I would have to echo John W's words about what a good time it was. The Bickhams (John and Sandy .....mostly Sandy) did a great job of taking care of those who came. Their friends and family who came were equally as gracious. Sample of pictures attached. (You'll notice that there is no closeup of Bruce C.

We all had a great time flying, lying, eatin', and relaxin', at Nauga Field, Star Hill, LA. One of the best I have ever had the opportunity to attend. Now, if OSH can do the same thing for this old Alabama boy next week............................ Naw! Never happen. See ya'll at OSH. Camping in the UL Camping Area. Will be flying a little in the UL pattern, and hanging out at the TNK display in the main area. Should arrive Sunday or Monday, depending on when I depart home. john h mkIII DO NOT ARCHIVE ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 07:25:38 AM PST US From: Arksey@aol.com Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Re: Starhill-Nauga Field Fly Around 2007 thanks George for posting pictures.

Sandy worked pretty hard at the "good host" stuff. I haven't got the bill for that yet! She is in Utah visiting her USAF baby girl. If I could just get her to learn how to make a decent praline cheesecake. [Wink] Nice pictures. If you have anymore, could you e-mail them to me direct? Still putting all the pictures together for a best of. Sandy has requested them. She is a "scrapbook" fanatic. John H Speaking of flying in the UL pattern. Sandy relayed the story of the Heli-cycle pilot (J. Little) going on and on about Kolbs stealing the show at SNF and about one particular pilot in the FLAGSTAR. With you just sitting on the 4 wheeler with your arms crossed, just listening quietly. Then John W stepping in with the TA-DAh hand roll intro, pointing you out as that pilot. Sandy found that very amusing. I hope to put together a best of collection for the gathering. John H, hands down you got the "best quote of the weekend". Something to do with cards! One of the nice things about Nauga Field is that Kolbs are one of the few planes that can use it. Keeps the heavy iron and the rift raft out! Small is better! Thanks too much for coming. -------- Thanks too much, John Bickham Mark III-C "Using my Repairman Certificate" St. Francisville, LA Do Not Archive Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=124762#124762 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/imgp0560_small_209.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/nauga_7_2007_fa_021_131.jpg ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 08:09:31 AM PST US Subject: Kolb-List: flasher for landing lights From: "Thom Riddle" I'm pretty good with things mechanical but admit to being rather ignorant about things electrical. So here is a question from the ignorant gallery: My FS 1 has two little "landing" lights, one each mounted on a gear leg next to the cabin. There is no strobe light on the airplane. I'd like to become more obviously visible without the trouble and extra weight of adding a separate strobe light system. Could I install a flasher of some sort in the landing light circuit to increase visibility? If so, would it do much good for my intended purpose and how should it be done?

In the off position nothing is on In the on position the power is from the center to the side with the light hooked up direct In the flash position.. the power is from the center through the flasher to the light.

He of course is in the south and they "don't need no stinking enclosure" there so he wore a helmet with the camera mounted on the top. Here in the North west it gets a bit nippley in the winter months so I have one on my plane. I first tried the camera mounted on the side of the plane, too much vibration. Then I mounted it on the nose cone, side braced it, balanced my prop, still too much vibration. So I zip tied it to the side of my headset, since I don't have room enough to put it on top of anything on my head. I also mounted his "bow sight" on the bill of my cap so that I could tell what I was taking pictures of. All of my other attempts gave me a good sight of the ground in front of me, not the big picture. Now this is better, still far from perfect as you will see from the videos, but somewhat better. I still get windshield tubes and an occasion heater hose in the way and since it is mounted on the side, it gives the appearance of side slipping. I also noticed that I had it a bit cocked as well as aimed a bit high. This time however there were not any bugs on the camera lens. My baud rate is somewhere around 400 but it still would not upload the whole thing so it is broken into four different segments. The portion of the Owyhee Canyon that it takes place in is the "wild and scenic" part above Rome Oregon. There are no roads down in there and it is a bit tight in some places. The walls are about 400 feet high or better in some places. It took a bit better than 7 minutes to traverse the part that I flew. Speed was 60 + rpm's were 5900. I chose a side canyon to get down to the bottom. I wish there was a landing spot there. There is a pool that looks very promising. The only problem is that it is rough enough getting there you would have to take a frying pan with you. Too much trouble to bring fish out. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6472836839933705135 http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=603828583682541443 http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6632661737051880898 http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2613336321664686170 Each clip is about 1.5 minutes long and they are in order.

John W and I flew the canyon last May. Brought back some fond memories. Guarantee it will make your heart pump a little faster the further you get into the canyon. As far as I could tell, you had not gotten up there to the point the cayon walls become vertical nearly to the top. At one point, John W was down in the canyon and I was flying high bird to help keep him clear of "bad" situations. About the time I keyed my mike to tell him to climb out, he had already started his climb. Up ahead was a narrow slot canyon with a 90 degree turn to the left, and more slot canyon ahead of that. A really exciting place to fly.
