Hi Russ,
it is a lost cause I am afraid. Headlines that leave you wanting know more
is what sells newspapers. Not accurate reporting.
No matter how easy you mke it for editors to check facts they are just not
interested. I am continually amazed at the total ignorance of reporters,
even about matters which I think that any reasonably educated person should
be abreast of, let alone a group of people whose business it is to
disseminate news.
Cheers
Pat

| Subject: | my father was john ratcliffe |
Hi,
my name is shawn ratcliffe. My father is the pilot that passed away on thursday.
I want to thank you right away for all the nice things you have said. My family
thanks you.
I came across this forum friday when i was looking for stories of my dad. I went
to the site thinking that it would be a generic discussion on what happened.
I was stunned to find out that many of you have actually gotten to know my dad
well. My father was a well liked man. With more friends than i new of. Always
helping others that were strangers. I have found out so much about my father
in the last days here.
I didn't want to know my dad growing up. for really stupid reasons. And as i got
older the anger got worse the more he tried to help. Not long ago, at the age
of 35 or so, we mended alot of holes. But I still didn't take the time sooner
to learn more. I was just to busy trying to move the career along that i was
in to take that time. During that just to busy time he was building his kolb.
I was excited at the thought of flying with him because he got me hooked when
i was around 4 or 5. But with my attitude as a child I never went to the lengths
he did to further that love of flying. The freedom you feel. The rush you
feel when pulling up and away from the runway. The sensation that runs through
your body.
I'm not able to take that flight with my father in life now, or even learn of
his life from him. But i have decide learn as much as i can of him through my
family, and to learn all he knew of flying by learning all i can of it.
i have decided to move out of my career now as quickly as i can and into a career
in aviation. To learn to be the pilot that my father was.
I hope to get to know all of you as well as my father did. I was told that he
got hooked on flying at a young age. He and is brother built a wooden plane and
drug it up on the roof of the house they lived in and his brother pushed him
and the plane off the roof and he crashed landed into some bushes. From his
first flight to his last he loved flying. My father was a pilot.
thank you again for all the friendship you show him.
sincerely Shawn M Ratcliffe

Thanks Shawn for sharing this with the group. I too lost my father when I got home
from the service years ago. It was not in an aviation accident, but due to
alcohol. The sad part is that he was in naval air and could have done so much
more with his life in his retirement. This is how I got interested in aviation
as a youngster.
Good luck with your new goal to be a pilot. I love my Kolb's. They both give me
great pleasure in life. I will always be grateful to Homer Kolb and New Kolb
Aircraft for designing these great machines to fly.
I was out flying the Kolbra today. Here is a picture. It's starting to warm up
here in this cold country.

It is made from a 2006 Ford F250 van air filter. The guys who are using it

it will stay in place even without a retaining screw (although they use on

that it clips over the bolt heads on an Ivoprop. Have no idea how it fits

other props. I don't have one on the MKIII, so - no opinion.
Worth what ya paid for it.

Had a single mikuni on a Rotax 503. Seemed OK. Made more power with dual bings,
fuel consumption comparable.

I have used water on four strokes with good success.
Never did this to a 2 stroke.
