Sheared off the left gearleg socket where the aluminum gearleg ends. Got the welding done at an FAA Repair Station shop because I have no welding experience at all. I did everything else with a little help on painting from my local flying buddies. Finished it over Thanksgiving weekend. It turned out nice, big thanks to Danny Still in Angleton TX for teaching me to finish paint.

During the repairs, we developed 4130 gear legs, extending them all the way in the socket until they bottomed out at the intersection of the two sockets. Never had another gear leg shear the socket again, although there have been many hard landings since then. Old Kolb designed the system that way. It saved weight and material. It also created a weak gear leg socket. john h Monahans, Texas (West Texas oil fields, where the pumps are pumping.) ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 06:05:51 PM PST US From: "beauford T" Subject: Kolb-List: Wanna Fly...?

For pure guts, she puts me on the night shift... Enjoy... and marvel... but Do Not Archive... Quote: I almost fell off the couch when I saw this on the news! The station I was watching had a different video of her, which showed how she preflights the plane prior to flying, too. It's just wild! She can unscrew the gas caps, check the oil, climb aboard, enter the cockpit, and don a seatbelt, simply using her feet. Not only that, after she's completed her flight, she fills out her flight log writing with her foot! Boggles the mind how resourceful this young lady is. http://video.aol.com/video-detail/pilot-jessica-cox-on-inside-edition/261 3314652 No wonder she is a "Motivational speaker"! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message kolb-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Kolb-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/kolb-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/kolb-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
