John W's Kolbra and my MKIII had no problems operating in and out of any of
the back country airstrips. Also, we were flying at max gross weight,
loaded up with fuel and all our gear. We were enroute from Monument Valley,
Utah, to The Rock House, Oregon, 6 miles south of Burns Junction, Oregon. I
must mention that it was exciting flying in this rugged terrain and the
airstrips. One does not get bored flying in this part of the country.
Training helps when flying under these conditions. I have been flying out
of a 750 grass airstrip with poor approach and departure for the last 24
years. Folks that fly out of large airports with paved strips are a little
more intimidated than us country boys.

I took a short flight last night before sunset. Winds were fairly calm - AWOS
said 3kts out of 220. When I got in the air I noticed a fire burning off to the
north and saw the smoke rising and then gently trailing off to the northeast.
I was going to just stay in the pattern but it was such a beautiful evening, I
headed to the east and in no time I was at a big field about 4 miles away from
the airport. I turned around to head back and noticed the smoke from that fire
not rising very much but steadily blowing off to the northeast now. It took
me probably a good 10 minutes to get back to the airport. Felt like I was CRAWLING.
That is certainly one big difference I've noticed between flying the Cessna and
flying my Kolb. I feel like a big kite just being taken by the wind sometimes.
I didn't look last night when I got home, but I looked at the winds aloft early
this morning and the winds are about 17-20kts at 3000 ft and I was flying at
2500 ft.
P.S. My checkride has been postponed to August 5th since I am on call at work for
the next two weeks. Don't they know I wanna fly?! Oh well, wanna fly...gotta
work.

Morning Gang:
Time to load up and take off for Nauga Field, LA.
Weather looks like I should make it ok if I get on out of here early.
322 sm, 4.5 hours, and 21.5 gals. Could make it without refueling, but I
will top off at Laurel, MS, and have plenty fuel to make it into Nauga
field, should I have to deviate because of weather. I plan for 75 mph
ground speed without factoring in the wind. Usually, plans out pretty close
to actual flight time.
Even though it is a weekend flight, it takes almost as much gear as a month
long flight. I could cut my load down a lot, but should I get caught by
weather or mechanical problem, sure is nice to have a tent, air mattress,
sleeping bag, pillow, and a little chow to stave off the hunger monster.
There are some very isolated, little used airports between Gantt IAP and
Nauga Field.
Take care,

I was thinking the only kind of plane I'd want to fly into a strip like that would
be a Kolb, and even then preferably with some larger tundra-like tires.......
I flew my ultralight off a farm strip for several years and some of the runways
were basically, like, in the yard by the hangar. Maybe 600' of landing area and
that was about it. The other was a hill with large trees at the end, but that
one was probably close to 1000'.
If I had that strip to do over again, and I'd do it in a heartbeat because it was
a blast, it'd only be a Kolb....... ;)

Good morning John,
Was there last summer in a C180. Looks very decieving from the air. You are landing
up a fairly steep hill. On a 1-10 roughness scale, about an 8.
Fantastic fishing if you are in to such endeavours.

Steven,
Your luck with the weather is definitely not good. Sounds like last
years experience trying to get to Homer's. At least this year you were
able make it, but the weather shortened our time there.
Maybe you have to pay more homage to the weather God's!!! Good luck on
your trip to Nauga Field, wish I could join you!

Nauga Folks,
I wish I could leave today, but must work to pay for my hobby. I'm
leaving as early as possible Saturday AM, 250 miles + or - a couple,
est. 5-6 hrs. Looks like I'll just head for False River and meet ya'll
for lunch. I should have a little tailwind Saturday, with a headwind
Sunday heading back home. This is my first fly-in, looking forward to
it!

So you use your Kolb for simulated border busting missions, to train the Coast
Guard for intercept missions?
You should trick them out by painting your Kolb "Desert" and flying on the deck
to sneak by them.
Paint the undersides sky blue as well and perhaps you can sneak by flying high
too.
I wonder what the service ceiling of the Heli is.....maybe you can out ceiling
them as well.
Sounds like a challenge in any case....cool.

| Subject: | Re: Flying upwind |
I agree. When Danny and I took a flight with surface winds over 13 knots the kolb
felt like a kite. Once we got up about 1800 agl it appeared that we were only
moving at a walking pace. Maintaining a heading flying cross wind required
a rather steep crab angle about 30 degrees so the ground track was right between
the wing and the nose.
Our planes fly much slower than the Cessna so yes the wind does appear to make
a big difference in our ground speed. Actually both planes see the same increase/
decrease in ground speed however the Cessna is faster so its not as noticeable
as in the Kolb.
My cruise indicated is only 60mph which is about 50 true airspeed. My cruise is
only 2mph faster than a c150s stall speed of 48mph. Cruise is 123mph on a C-150.

I use a battery maintainer on my Kolb battery and see twice the service life. I
forget the exact make and model but it says something like automatic battery
maintainer from one of the big name battery charger companies. I keep my battery
attached to it anytime I'm not flying. It works especally well when the plane
is in winter storage. I use a 12 AH battery in my plane that I use to start
my 2180cc VW. The battery is margional so any loss or battery power is noticable.
The maintainer keeps the battery fully charged.
Since I had such good luck with this device I have pruchased a bunch of float chargers
from Harbor Freight. They usually have them on sale for about $10.00.
I have been using them them on my boat and car in Florida when I'm in Michigan
and on my tractor in Michigan when I'm in Florida. The boat battery has had the
Harbor Freight charger on it for the last three years and my car for two years
connected for up to nine months at a time.

During the pre-flight today I ran across this little failure. It's the steel rod
that keeps the fabric away from the aileron torque tube. It seems to have broken
away from the weld. Also noteworthy is that there is no real stress on mine
as my cage is uncovered. You may want to keep an eye on this.

Similar studies are underway with wing grids that model bird wing tip

Also locusts have very good lift to drag ratios due to some peculiar

Thanks for the heads up Kip, it is always good to know what problem areas might
be so that I can keep an eye on them. It is beyond me as to why that would break
there, as you say it looks like its just to keep the fabric formed and away
from the tube.

So... what's the procedure to get a humpback to recover from a stall??? I wonder
if they'll spin??? We have gobs of them around here and it's pretty rare to
find them a crumpled mess at the end of the runway.
Dr. Fish's work has been around for a while. An article about it in SciAm helped
me feel better about the VGs on my FireFly's wings... I've been wondering how
they'd work on prop blades...
