| Subject: | Kolb Mark II for sale |
I found out I am expecting. With that great joy (everyone bursts into laughter
when I tell them since my only child is 16 already) [Laughing] also comes great
sorrow in selling my Kolb. [Crying or Very sad]
My time and resources will be limited.
The ad is on barnstormers today.

Cristal,
Congratulations on, perhaps, bringing a new Kolber into the world. I agree
it is terrible to be responsible and to give up your plane. Time will fly
by and then you will reach retirement and you can be irresponsible and build
and/or purchase and fly another Kolb. I had to wait until my 60's to even
begin flying a Kolb. At this time I can't remember what it was like to not
have a FireFly. So just hang in there and keep the dream alive.

There used to be an Ultralight strip just west of Tucson, and if I recall correctly
there was a Kolb there among others. I can ask around for their address if
you have not found it yet.

All,
I have not posted for awhile but do monitor the Kolb list as time permits. I have
moved my Kolb Mark 3 Classic (BMW powered) from Mobile, AL to Tucson, AZ due
to a job change. Had no problem after following suggestions from the list on
how to pack into a 26 foot Penske truck. I did have problems transporting my
BMW powered, 3 wheeled vehicle but that is another story. I have attached 2 pictures.
I have the airplane wings reattached and am storing it in an RV storage building
in Green Valley, AZ. In spite of all the open (desert) area where I am living
in the Green Valley - Sahuarita area (15 miles south of Tucson), I am having
problems finding a place to keep and fly my airplane without going to a large
General Aviation airport about 45 mintues away (south west of Tucson). I found
two perfect paved airstrips (Continental in Green Valley, and another one about
10 minutes south on I19) but both are closed with no possibility of using
again.
I also found a private strip with homes around it about 30 minutes west of me and
am trying to see if one of the homeowners will let me share space in their
hanger.
Anyone have any experience with renting landing rights from a land owner and putting
up a small hanger? Are there zoning issues that the county or state may
have?
Any suggestion would be helpful as I am anxious to get flying again.

Thank you for the encouragement Jack (and others who wrote off list).
I still have my private and will continue to fly as much as possible because I
love it soooo much! And who knows, maybe after a few years I could build my
own Kolb.

Looks like a nice airplane. This isn't the time sell houses or toys. You
will feel you are giving it away. Find a place in the garage and store it.

Leroy is way out there to the East. I have flown there several times in my Beech,

Tim,
Your situation is somewhat similar to what we faced, when I lived in north Idaho
(Coeur D' Alene).
One of our members, Larry Ballard, of the "North Idaho Ultralight Association"
ended up buying a 20 acre parcel about 30 minutes out of town. A diferent member,
Frank Reed, used his road grader (which I later purchased) to cut in two
crossing runways.
To keep his U/L always ready to just jump in and go flying, he had a simple pole
barn type hangar built.
My suggestion, depending on a whole lot of things in your area I'm not very familiar
with, is to buy your own vacant land, cut and runway in and erect a hangar,
and look for a few other guy in the area to share some costs with.
With real estate prices as low as they've dropped in the last couple of years,
this may be a fairly cost effective way to have your own runway.

Tim,
H.L. Cooper's phone number is 520-682-7504.
His business is called Arizona Ultralights in the phone book. I fly out of Ryan
airfield just north of you. There are hangers there and it is ultralight friendly.
there are other ultralights there. Your main choices in this area is H.L.
( shade hanger, Ryan or Marana. Marana is a long drive for you. Even H.L.'s
is a long drive. Ryan is by far the closest.

Glad you have your priorities straight! -- but sorry to hear your
aircraft must go. However! -- there will still be Kolbs around when
you're again ready to have one.
Sincere thanks for your entertaining posts about your flights --

| Subject: | Card Compass Question |
I am laying out my instrument panel and would like to Put the card compass in the
upper most area of the panel. I know to keep all wiring and anything electrical
as far away as possible from the compass or the reading will be affected.
That's the reason you normally see them hanging in a hodge podge manner most
anywhere. The only thing I see so far that interferes with the compass is the
RPM gauge and that is easily eliminated by distance.
My question is, does anyone know of any shielding methods thats good to use
other that just distance. Aluminum plate shielding does nothing.
Thanks
Rick Lewis

I had a plane that suddenly became magnetized and messed up the compass. A fellow
from the lab where I worked gave
me a piece of thin shiny metal that looked like stainless and I put it under the
compass base. He had a name for it but that was a long time ago.

Rick L/Gang:
Good luck on your mag compass installation.
I have never been able to get a good location for my mag compass in my
mkIII. Swinging the compass does not help. Too much magnetic interference
to make it reliable.
My Firestar, the mag compass worked perfectly. I could swing it to within a
couple degrees in all quadrants. It had to work because if was my primary
means of navigation with my sectional. Did a lot of extended cross country
flights in the Firestar.
Only reason I have a mag compass in the mkIII is because there is a
requirement to have one installed. I can use it for back up to maintain a
heading, but probably will not know what the correct heading is to within 30
to 45 degrees. However, it will keep me from flying in circles and get me
to a major highway, railroad, power transmission line, river, or something,
to follow to a town or village, and eventually, to an airport or some place
to land in a field or road near civilization.
