Rick=2C I think we've arrived at the point where everything that needs discussing has been discussed. Some things have been OVER discussed (oil brands=2C V Gs=2C military war palaes=2C etc) Some famous person said a few years ago "everything worth inventing has a lready been invented!" (there are those who don't quite agree=2C of course ) Maybe everything worth talking about has already been talked about. Just musing=2C Mike Welch do not archive Subject: Kolb-List: ?????

And the turns are wicked!>> Hi Robert, The improved `gust resistance` is due to the high wing loading I assume. Re turns. The instructor I flew with when he finished his slalom of the traffic cones said `Lets go across the field and attack that hangar. We got clearance and dashed across the field, over the main runway, at about 20 ft. and to my amazement there was a Heinkel 111 parked in the lee of the hangar. Where it came from or if it was real or a mock up I never found out but we bored into the attack by flying down the opposite side of the hangar, banking steeply, round the side wall and popped out behind the hangar with metaphoric guns blazing. Great fun.. Nearly made me forget the picture of a pilot flying a demonstration of a Benson. I don`t think he had ever flown a gyro before but he was the only guy they could get. He looked scared to death before he even got into the thing. He got it into the air and did the most tentative circuit I have ever seen. Obviously the blades had not been balanced and the stick was shaking in the pilots hand, backward s a forwards every time the blades went round. He put the plane down and staggered away without a backward glance and could not be persuaded to fly again. Never seen a guy so scared. Cheers Pat ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 10:19:19 AM PST US Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Re: gyros From: Richard Girard Interesting. Not about the gyro, but the He 111. I was up at Arlington (AWO) a few years back, and looked across from the ultralight field to see an He 111 sitting on the ramp in front of the airport office so I went over to see. The fellow who had flown it in told me the story. It was Franco's personal airplane given him by Hitler after the Spanish Civil War. It and all their Merlin powered Me 109's (they had been reengined in the 50's and 60's when the supply of DB engines was exhausted) had been bought up by the makers of the film, "The Battle of Britain" and the He (also Merlin powered) had been surplused out after the filming was done. He wouldn't tell me who owned the aircraft and he wouldn't give me a ride even when I offered to buy the gas. Oh well.....

The planes do not exist and the CG stuff just doesn`t cut it. See the last version of Tora! Tora! Rubbish compared to the original even if they did use T6`s for Zero`s. Peter Jackson has a number of old planes stuck away in a hangar down in NZ and there are runours that he would like to do a war epic....vereee interesstting.

If you haven't heard, all paper airman certificates will expire on March 31, 2010. All pilots need to get a replacement plastic one (something stupid about drug enforcement cooperation, no doubt involving a lobbyist for the company making the counterfeit resistant cards). The fee is $2, unless you still have your SSN as your certificate number, in which case the replacement is free. You can apply for the replacement online: <http://www.faa.gov/licenses_certificates/airmen_certification/expiring_paper_certificates/> -Dana not directly Kolb related, so do not archive -- When authorities warn you of the sinfulness of sex, there is an important lesson to be learned. Do not have sex with the authorities. ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 03:41:32 PM PST US Subject: Kolb-List: Fwd: Pictures of Middlefield: From: zeprep251@aol.com Things are quiet here are they not?Here are a couple picts of the last fly-in at CGS' former home field.Don James of JBM industries took these .Thom, are your VG's placed further back than these on my MK-3? ?
