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. -------- Thom Riddle Buffalo, NY http://riddletr.googlepages.com/sportpilot-cfi http://riddletr.googlepages.com/a%26pmechanix A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that works. - John Gaule Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=252079#252079 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/rtfrntqrtrcropped_140.jpg ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:16:34 AM PST US From: "Denny Rowe" Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Buying Slingshot, probably Thom, Good Luck with the purchase of Lurays bird, I am sure you will find it to be better than advertised.

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.

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. ===================================== ---- Dana Hague wrote: ============ At 02:01 PM 7/8/2009, jerb wrote: > >Why was an incident report needed - there were no damage or injuries?

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.

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, John Bickham Mark III-C w/ 912UL St. Francisville, LA I know many pilots and a few true aviators. There is a distinct difference that I have the greatest respect for.
