A few weeks ago someone asked me for a copy of the film made by the
on board cameras when I flew a Mustang at Kissimmee many years ago.
I have been able to transfer the video to DVD so whoever it was please
contact me.

I just watched the video of John H landing at the rock house. One has to love
a place where the hangar is bigger than the house, Larry definitely has his priorities
straight ! Looks like they are going to have a great time there, what
a neat area to fly in.

Hi Gang:
I might add, I had flown up, across the mountains from Elko, NV. Winds
at the time were 25 gusting to 36 mph. My ground speed during the 2.4
hour flight was from 60 to 74 mph. Mostly 64. Turbulence to 9,000
feet. There were two dust storms in the area of the Rock House. I
landed with a lot of power, no flaps, and a 50 ft ground roll. My right
hand was sweating so much I had to wipe it on my pants leg twice the
last 20 miles. I was very lucky, landed without any severe turbulence
at the time of touch down. I sure was glad I was flying a Kolb.
We are having a great time at Larry's. Roger H and Keith from Grants
Pass, OR, arrived just before supper tonight. They trailered in because
of severe wind. They are getting their airplanes out of the trailers
and unfolding now. One is a FS KXP and the other a MKIII.
Tomorrow we are flying to the Skinner Ranch to have some quiet time with
our buddy John W. Larry has already placed an engraved native stone
marker at John's crash site. Hopefully, this will bring some closure to
the loss of our flying friend.
Plans are to return to Louisiana and Alabama my normal, nearly direct
route.
We had a great time at Monument Valley, one of the best yet.
Wish you all could join us on this flight.

Mark,I'm building a mark 111c at this time.My motor is a 582 that I put a e-box
on.Rather then raising the motor much I changed the rear mount.I removed rear
mount,took off app. 2 inches of the root tube.Put a 1/4 plate across and turned
the mounts rearward so as the starter could sit between the mounts with plenty
of clearance.The motor is sitting exactly the same as original.Not flying
yet.Pictures attached

Subject: Kolb-List: Rotax 582 Gearbox Choices
I found a good deal on a Rotax 582 for my Mark III project, but don't know
which gearbox to pick. 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.
