Just a FYI type update. I was at the AERO 2010 expo at Friedrichshafen in Southern
Germany last week and got talking with VG manufacturer 'Micro Aerodynamics'
who explained that the VG's ahead of the flap area on the Boeing are to counteract
and delay the onset of a shock wave which in turn sets off a Dutch Roll
type instability that all swept wing aircraft are prone to. Apparently the venerable
B52 bomber had them also, and with a bit of poetic license there were
52 per side.
The ones ahead of the ailerons are for keeping the airflow attached at low speeds,
relatively speaking, just like in a Kolb. (there, now it's Kolb related).
David.

Mine sits in the middle of the pod pointing upwards. Its connected to a
hand held and works well. No noise . It was fitted by a RNZAF aircraft
fitter so I have no details of its instillation.

Subject: Kolb-List: MkIII antenna location
Hi gang,
I'm currious where those of you with aircraft radios located your
antenna. I will be using an Icom A200 panel mount radio, and I'm
pondering where the best place would be to locate the antenna.
It seems like everywhere I think of, there is a logical reason NOT
to put it there!!
I have an idea where I might install it, but I wanted to hear where
others have put there's, first.
Oh yeah. I made one of those dipole antennas that Scott shared
with us. (actually, I made three. I figured it isn't that much trouble
to make more than one, while I was at it.)
Although I mentioned the MkIII in the heading, as long as you have a
permanent mount antenna on any Kolb airplane, I'd like to hear from you.
(even you lurkers....if your radio works good. If your radio doesn't
work well, keep lurking :-) )

| Subject: | Lakeland Weather |
Morning Gang:
Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday weather in Lakeland looks good, except for
wind.
Tuesday weather:
Tuesday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 83. East northeast wind between 6
and 15 mph, with gusts as high as 21 mph.
Today and Wednesday are much the same.
I'll plan on getting out of here at first light in the morning. Hopefully,
beat most the wind before it gets up in the afternoon. Right now at 0800,
it is dead calm. I I can get up and get loaded, get in the air by 0500,
I'll be at LAL before noon. It is a 412 mile flight direct, but I will
deviate a little to pick up fuel in Perry, FL. Other than that stop, I'll
only land when the urgent need arises.
Looking forward to seeing you all at Lakeland.
Save me a good spot by the gate to put up my tent, Rick. Getting too old to
push the mkIII through the grass. ;-)

I have a dipole made from the end of the piece of coax. The dipole is on
the inside of the nosecone, the center part of the coax runs up the left
side and across the top, while the braid runs across the bottom. The
location was changed a few times to get the best swr with an antenna
analyzer.
