Makes me miss my mkIII. Haven't flown it in two months. I arrived Monument Valley yesterday in rain and fog. The weather gave the place an erie feeling. Especially, not being able to see the monuments. In 9 trips to MV this is the first time I could not see the monuments. Last year, John W and I arrived in a rain shower which gave the place an unusual appearance. But at least we could see the monuments. I'll send the other photos on the Kolb BBS. I have a wing on the Dodge, but it ain't big enough to fly. john h mkIII Monument Valley, UT ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 01:46:03 PM PST US Subject: Kolb-List: Monument Valley From: "John Hauck" Hi Gang: Arrived MV yesterday in rain and dense fog. Woke up to the same weather this morning, but Mother Nature smiled on me and the sun is now out and the monuments are in full sight. Monument Valley is the official home of the Kolb Unplanned/Unorganized Flyin. The first was held May 2003. We have had one each year since, always in May between Mothers Day and Memorial Day. Works out to the 3d weekend in May. Plan on attending next May 2009. -------- John Hauck MKIII/912ULS hauck's holler, alabama Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=216741#216741 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/1413_776.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/1412_154.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/1408_117.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/1407_234.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/1405_326.jpg ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 03:19:25 PM PST US Subject: Kolb-List: Re: Kolb Cross Country Video in High Definition From: "JetPilot" Hi John, I bet you do miss your MK III, traveling in such beautiful country and not being able to go up and fly is just not right ! Unfortunately, the past week has been perfect flying weather in Miami, and I have been stuck up north for work :( The motorcycling/atv riding does sound like a lot of fun though ! Jay, That part over the everglades was a risk, but the engine and plane have been flying perfectly, so I could not resist, although I do not make a habit out of doing that... You are correct, not a road or anything for many miles. If the engine did quit, I would just put down the flaps, fly straight ahead, and wait to go over on my back [Shocked] There have been quite a few cases where people have flipped their kolbs on landing, and as far as I know they have walked away from it, so I would take that over the chute.

That ain't no VG, my friend. That is an inverted airfoil with an air dam on each end. If I thought I could get better slow speed flight and eliminate that dreaded "5th wheel drop", I'd have those little suckers stuck all over it. That old Taylor Wing is worth a 10% decrease in fuel burn. I'm over 6,000 miles into this trip.

Most folks know, when I go flying, I fly. Next May, I'll be right back out here in the MKIII, along with most of the other places I have visited and explored on this trip. Never had any desire to haul an aircraft of any type around behind an RV. Never had to fold, stuff, pack, or otherwise, an aircraft. Don't like to have to mess with the extra details (work). john h mkIII with a buncha travel miles under its belt.... ________________________________ Message 13 ____________________________________ Time: 04:53:05 PM PST US Subject: Kolb-List: Re: Monument Valley From: "John Hauck" Here's a few photos of MV today with the sun shining a little. This is more like the normal way the home of the Kolb Unplanned/Unorganized Flyin looks like. It is unplanned and unorganized. This means no one is in charge, no one has any duties, and no one has to pay to attend. We are a laid back group of Kolb builders, flyers, and folks that want to be building and flying a Kolb. After 6 successful flyins, my major reason for coming back is to be able to spend time with friends I have met through attendance at the flyin in MV. Takes me 20 flight hours to get to MV, so......... I am more than happy to sit down at the airstrip, under the shade of a wing, and enjoy world's greatest company. -------- John Hauck MKIII/912ULS hauck's holler, alabama Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=216760#216760 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/736__982.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/738__213.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/737__835.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/735__412.jpg ________________________________ Message 14 ____________________________________ Time: 07:16:32 PM PST US From: robert bean Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Kolb Cross Country Video in High Definition yeh John, you need a propeller on yer ass.
