| Subject: | Buying Slingshot, probably |
FYI -The RANS S6S I've been flying was broken by one of my partners on June 28
in a bounced landing and botched recovery (no injuries). The insurance company
finally made the decision to total it, so I've made a deal with Luray Weachter
to buy his Jabiru powered Slingshot, once the insurance company pays us, assuming
that my inspection does not reveal in unpleasant surprises. I'm getting
out of the partnership thing because I've been grounded since June 28 through
not fault of my own. That sucks.
So I'l be an actual Kolber, once again, hopefully soon enough to get a lot of good
flying time in this summer/fall. Attached is a cropped photo of the airplane
which I first saw at Homer's 2007 fly-in. Luray is in the cockpit in this photo,
as he departs(I think) Homer's.

Why was an incident report needed - there were no damage or injuries?

If somebody sees and reports an "airplane crash" and the police arrive, and
the police report it to the FAA, it gets recorded.
What's more surprising is that they recorded an ultralight incident.

Jerb,
There is no need. I check the reports every day, and copied one out and
changed to fit my current flying status.
I have not taken the top off the engine, so I don't know the extent of
the damage. Hope to be back in the air in a month.

Right!
When I had my forced landing a couple of weeks ago the cops showed up and then
left when they verified that no property damage or other injuries took place.
The paper reported the emergency landing but my name was not mentioned, thank
god for that.

Good for you Thom, there is nothing better than having your own Kolb, doing whatever
you like with it without having to worry about anyone else ! You will
love it.

Chris,
They are all REAL noisy ! Even with my 912-S I had to do a lot of sound proofing
to get my plane to be bearable... Its not hard to do, and not expensive, with
a little sound proofing, it is possible to make the MK III Xtra much quieter
than it is in stock condition.

| Subject: | 3rd Annual Nauga Field Fly-Around - Dec 4, 5, 6 |
Mark your calendars, let your boss/spouse know you need off, whatever you need
to do. If you are one of dem "snowbirds" migrate this way on your way to Florida.
The dates for the 3rd Annual Nauga Field Fly-Around will be the first weekend
in December (4th, 5th, & 6th). This event originated with a phone call
from John W and John H from Sun-n-Fun 2007 when they said "get ready, we're coming
in July".
Decided to move it for a couple of reasons. First is the heat here in July. The
cooks were slowing down and not able to maintain momentum. Things get pretty
miserable here in July and this year has been a record breaker so far. Secondly,
I've been in the catch up mode since my 16 day vacation out west and just
couldn't swing getting things lined up anytime soon. Besides, this will give
Jimmy Y time to get his new HKS dialed in. Also won't have to worry about hurricane
season.
It will still be nice here in early December. If you camp, you will be comfortable.
The planes and pilots should perform a lot better. We can even have a nice
evening around a fire. Can't do that in July.
Been a couple improvements to the facilities since last year:
1) Ronnie logged the trees between the FBO/camp and the creek. Got him to take
out some of the trees on the SE end of the runway. Power line is still there
and marked with orange balls. Makes TO's and landings over that end a little
easier.
2) FBO/camp on parish(county for the other 49 states) water systems. No more high
iron water.
This is just a no-frills gathering of Kolbs and other fans of light planes. We
fly, eat, share stories (both fiction and non-fiction), and generally "pass a
good time". Folks and "characters" from the local community participate and
provide some of the entertainment as well as some good home cooked groceries.
Nauga Field (LS35) is located about 15 nm NW of Baton Rouge (BTR).
The runway is 1550 feet tree line (80 ft) to power line (60 ft). In other words,
obstacles both ends.
www.airnav.com/airport/ls35
DO NOT WANT TO INSULT ANYONE, BUT NEED TO BE CLEAR AND CANDID......
Nauga Field will challenge you if you are used to landing on 2500 to 5000 foot
runways with clear approaches. It can be visually intimidating if you aren't
used to it and proficient on your short field techniques. Start practicing if
you are rusty on your short field techniques. Two person operation is not recommended
unless you are lightly loaded. We don't even think about it in the
hot summer. Just not enough safety margin. This is a Kolb friendly field if you
are proficient and used to tighter spots.
Folks generally start arriving Friday. Saturday, we won't be doing the normal
catfish at False River(HZR). Hurricane Gustav took out the EAA hanger and they
haven't rebuilt it. Maybe we'll do John H's favorite red beans and rice, with
sausage and cornbread. Real good in cooler weather. Ronnie M will probably
cook the wild pig Saturday night as usual. Saturday night is the big social.
My wife and friends do all the cooking. We take care of all the groceries and
drinks. We put out a donation jar and leave it up to you. Let us know if you
have special diet needs. We are known for our good food, not necessarily health
conscious food. As we get closer, let me know if you plan on attending so
we can get the groceries right. Also need a T-shirt size if we get enough interested
folks.
In the past, some folks have opted to drive in and hotel it. We are a small rural
community with limited hotel accommodations. So if that is your plan, don't
wait to long.
This won't replace the TNK Homecoming but it can be a good second choice. Since
I'm not an impartial judge, I'll defer to past participants to share how much
fun they have had.
I'm looking forward to everyone coming and I have met some fine folks at past Kolb
events and sure would hope they could come share the weekend with us. If
you come, we'll do our best to make it a pleasurable weekend for you.
Fly safe.

Thanks too much,
