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. Jack B.

I can ask around for their address if you have not found it yet.

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.

Tim Warlick BMW powered Kolb mark 3 Classic 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.

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. -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az.

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.

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.

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. john h mkIII ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message kolb-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Kolb-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/kolb-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/kolb-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
