Hankins) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 10:52:03 AM PST US From: "frank.goodnight" Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Re: Gaggle of 5 in Sherman, TX Hi everybody, Just got back from my first trip to MV , 2874 miles by trailer. I flew for almost 5 Hrs.while i was there , met several of the people that use the kolb-list, and learned quite a bit about my airplane [a couple of things I had done wrong when I built it]. Also had several Firsts - first time I ever operated from anything other than sea level- first tailwind landing-first time landing or tacking off up or downhill-also the first time I ever flew where there was much thermal activity.There were some very pretty airplanes .One poor guy had about as much bad luck as a person can have [ on his whole trip ] no one hurt. I"ll let him , or someone else write about that. All in all I had more fun than I"ve had in a lot of years, much more than a 68 year old should have. I felt like a kid again with new and exciteing things to do. I hope I can talk my wife into going next year.

I definitely want electric start. Will an B, C, or E box work equally well on a Mark III? I've heard that I can only use a B box or I'll have to raise the engine mounts and the thrust line may be too high. Those of you who have (or had) 582's, what gearbox are you using and what gear ratio? Thanks.

Its allowable prop inertia is half that of the C and E boxes. I have a C box with a 4:00 to 1 ratio. It requires nothing special to mount and has clearance for a 68" prop.
