There are 3 Monument valleys that Google Earth shows, two are in Arizona
close to me and one is in Utah.

Don't know about 3 monument valleys,,,, we will be going to an area
between 4 corners and lake powell. Right on the ut,az border.
N 37 12.007 W 110 12.049 or there about. The airport is on most
maps but because it is private some gps's don't gave it in the database.

Well it looks like a decent size airport. I guess it will take me about 3 hours
to get up there from KFHU. When is the Fly In going to start?
Or is everybody there already?

Captain Ron,
This answer is both. The airport is at Goulding's Trading Post which has its own
runway. There is a hotel, camping area, restaurant, resort, and gas/covenience
store. Identifier is UT25. Goulding's is located just north of the state
line. You cross the the main highway to the access road to the actual MV entrance.
You cross into Arizona on the access road.
See if this link works:

Note: land to south, TO to north (up against butte)
Been there by car. This will be first time by air. Excited!
Hope this is helpful.

Should be able to land on 4,000 feet of pavement.
Us Kolbers liked it better when it was still dirt, except for a very short
part on the south end.
Most of us try to get there Thursday, 14 May. The official dates of the
Unplanned/Unorganized Kolb Flyin is Friday, 15 May through Sunday 17 May.
I know of a dozen or so folks that are not there already. I leave in the
morning. Takes me about 20 hours flight time over a period of 2.5 days.

Hello all...
Well...I had her up again today..made 1 take off with no flaps and it took about
250 feet to get off and climbed at 60-65 mph IAS at 1745 feet per minute. One
notch does get you off faster.

Maybe you do not realize this Pat, but have been an airline pilot for many years,
I know where the flaps are when I takeoff in an airliner as I set them myself
and have an indicator that tells me exactly where they are [Wink] To answer
your question as to Why do we always use flaps for takeoff in an airliner,
because there are tire limit speeds which we would be exceeded on takeoff without
flaps, any runway under 15,000 feet long would be to short for takeoff in
an airliner without flaps, and because takeoff without flaps is prohibited on
this class of airplane. None of these is an issue with small propeller driven
airplanes most people here fly, so the procedure that works for a 200,000
airplane is not the same as a Kolb or a Cessna... Even in a Jet Airliner we use
the minimum flaps we can for takeoff, unless the runway is very short, Icy,
or other special consideration in which case we use more. The less flaps we
use for takeoff, the safer we are and the better our performance is... Even in
the airliners I fly, climb and performance increases a LOT up as soon as the
flaps are retracted which is something we do as soon as speed permits.
The appropriate use of flaps is something that every pilot should know and it is
worth taking the time to study. In small Cessnas and Kolbs, takeoff on a short,
soft, or even rough runway, one notch of flaps is desirable to get the tires
off the runway as soon as possible. You will pay a big price for getting
off the ground sooner though with much reduced performance and climb until they
are retracted. In a Kolb that accelerates like a slingshot, if you get the
flaps retracted very quickly after getting off the ground, you will have a very
small performance hit, maybe so small that it is not even noticeable. If you
leave the flaps down for your climb to 1000 feet, you will be sacrificing a
lot of performance. Flaps down does bring you off the ground quicker, and lowers
your stall speed, but they also degrade your performance in the vast majority
of airplanes.
For takeoff on normal runways with adequate length, zero flaps is the best procedure
for the airplanes we fly. With Zero flaps your:
Rate of climb will be higher
You will be climbing at a faster speed which gives you more time to react in case
of engine failure.
You will bleed speed less quickly in event of an engine failure.
You will glide better in the event of an engine failure.
If you have an engine failure at a the same point in time after takeoff with no
flaps, you will be higher when it happens, which gives you more options.
Mike
