I have been able to transfer the video to DVD so whoever it was please contact me.

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. http://www.kolbadventures.blogspot.com/ Mike -------- "NO FEAR" - If you have no fear you did not go as fast as you could have !!!

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. john h Rock House, Oregon I just watched the video of John H landing at the rock house.

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.
