From: "JetPilot" Anyone ever look back in their Kolb and see the tail moving around a bit in the airstream ??? Not a lot, but just a barely preceptibe, fiarly slow movement as you fly... I am positive this is normal, since I have seen the tail on my friends plane move much more upon startup, but it still gets your attention.

When I was on the luscombe list we used a great site built by a Luscombe pilot called www.popav.com He lets people post pictures to this site easly and for no cost or advertisements. The Luscombe portion of the site has over 275 pages of pictures. There is an Experimenal section but I can talk to him and put a Kolb heading under the type aircraft section and we can use this for posting. The firat pictures I posted were in 2000 so I don't think it will go away any time soon. But I also believe that we should post pictures to the Matronics list for archive purposes. Check out this Link and let me know what you think. all the pictures are under the Type Aircraft link on the top menu. http://www.popav.com Thank You Jeff Nelson "93 Kolb KXP N1655E Do Not Archive From: "Robert Laird" Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Re: new pics of the Kolb suzuki project Picasa is one of many free, web-based photo sharing sites that don't require the viewers to login or register. -- Robert On 7/31/07, JetPilot wrote: > > > I would have liked to see the pictures, but could not see any :( Once I > clicked on the URL, it asked me to log into yahoo, which I did.

We arrived at the air-show on Thursday evening. It must have rained all Thursday night because I went to sleep before it stopped raining. We spent most of the day at the ultralight area. I visited the The New Kolb exhibition booth on my last day and was invited to a very nice restaurant after they closed up for the day. Thanks to Bruce & TNK for picking up the tab, they really know how to take care of their customers. We missed getting into Oshkosh by 4 minutes before they closed the airport for the air show so we deviated to Fond du Lac, Interesting some vendors were at the Fond du Lac airport. On Friday the air show was canceled due to the two mustangs crashing. Roger, my flying pal and a Challenger driver, was very disappointed that the Challenger exhibition booth was not at Oshkosh and someone told him the Challenger factory was taking almost a year to deliver engines. I find that hard to believe but if they weren't there they must be too busy to take care of their customers. On our way back we encounter many thunderstorms, we had to land at a small airport to wait out the low clouds for about 45 minutes. Once they started to clear we resumed our flight.

Spent 10 days and 9 nights sleeping on the ground. Thank God I can still do it comfortably. Flew 23.2 hours. Burned 116.4 gal fuel. Traveled 1,907.04 sm. Had a ball!!! Got to spend the entire week with the Kolb gang in the Kolb trailer. Was great to be able to enjoy their company for a week. Spent the night flying north at Washinton, IN. RON Washington, IN, on the way home. Here are a few photos I took during the flight up and back. This is a huge drag line in Kentucky on a reclaimed coal strip mine. Never really knew how large they were until I landed on the gravel road next to it, and taxiied up under the operator's cab. Estimate the main boom is over 300 feet long. The other photos are Lake Michigan. I flew down the lake after the wind shifted out of the SE, the direction I wanted to fly to fly across it and land in Michigan, 60 miles away. The flight from Manitowoc, WI, to Ludington, MI, would be directly over the ferry route. I also had on a PFD, just in case. Instead, I flew the lake off shore down to Gary, IN, right past downtown Chicago, IL. Was a very beautiful and exciting flight over 180 sm of water instead of 60. ;-) I am mighty proud of my little mkIII and its 912ULS. I'll probably have to spread these photos out over several posts. There are 16 of the many I took on this flight. -------- John Hauck MKIII/912ULS hauck's holler, alabama Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=126795#126795 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/0001_02_204.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/0001_02_110.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/0001_01_105.jpg ________________________________ Message 18 ____________________________________ Time: 06:10:22 PM PST US Subject: Kolb-List: Re: OSH 2007 From: "John Hauck" More pictures. -------- John Hauck MKIII/912ULS hauck's holler, alabama Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=126797#126797 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/0001_09_965.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/0001_08_136.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/0001_06_193.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/0001_05_793.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/0001_04_735.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/0001_03_979.jpg ________________________________ Message 19 ____________________________________ Time: 06:11:44 PM PST US From: "Bob Dalton" Subject: RE: Kolb-List: Back from Oshkosh Will, Great work, thanks for bringing me there.

The reward is well worth the effort to complete the airplane. John W and I flew the Owyhee River Canyon in May. The vids are good, but do not do the flight and the canyon justice. Larry, we need to go fishing next year. Camping out on the river bank, cooking and eating the fresh catch sounds like a lot of fun. With a good sound airplane and reliable engine, the opportunities to enjoy the beautiful, exciting country we live in, are limitless. I have just scratched the surface of the North American Continent the last 23 years I have been exploring it in a Kolb. -------- John Hauck MKIII/912ULS hauck's holler, alabama Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=126801#126801 ________________________________ Message 22 ____________________________________ Time: 06:28:23 PM PST US From: "John Hauck" Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Back from Oshkosh Google of a | real heavy downpour, looked like fun for the tent campers. | | Bob D.
