Kolbers:
Attached is a picture of Kolb folks who gathered by the Kolb display in Paradise
City on Friday, April 16.
Left to right:
George A., Rick N., Beauford, Sam B., Dave W., Gary A., John H.
Rick, Gary and John had their planes there. A couple of other Kolbs.... not sure
who they belonged to: Firestar II (For Sale/Sold), an Ultrastar (burning
up the circuit) and a Kolb on a mono float.
Overall a good day.... crowd was light.... weather was outstanding.

I just got to this one.
Very good. I knew there had to be a way to get down there.
We need to pack up enough stuff for a few days survival, hit the trails
and make some gps tracks while looking for ways to get into the canyon,
the shortest ways.

The above link is to my spot tracking page. I prefer to use the hybrid
feature since it shows roads. There isn't much reason to have good sat
pictures here so you won't be able to get in too close.
The wind and weather finally moderated a bit or at least enough that I
felt like flying for the first time in almost a month. My interest was
to find a "two track" down into the Canyons that frame the Owyhee River
that would allow me to take a quad from this side of the river. If I go
the way that the roads are good I end up driving about 100 miles before
I can even get on my quad. This way it is only about 50 miles of two
track, and 15 hwy. It is very difficult here however because the roads
are not signed, and the land is so featureless as to not be much help.
So my plan was to press in GPS readings at the turns. Here in ranch
country all the roads lead to water, generally a stock pond, so it can
be a bit confusing actually trying to get somewhere.
I flew 103 miles in an hour and 34 minutes. I used 4.7 gallons of fuel
for 21.9 mpg average speed was 62 MPH There was a pretty good headwind
and it was a bit bumpy over the canyon coming back home.
My feet were cold by the time I got back on the ground, but it was
nice to get out for a while.

Sorry about this personal post to the Kolb List.
I did not look and realize it was addressed to the List when I hit the
send button.
Got back from Lakeland today. Came home a day early to prevent possibly
weathered in at Sun and Fun.
Had a good flight. MKIII and 912 performed flawlessly. Started getting
in shape again during the flight home.
850 sm round trip. Head wind and rough air going south 5.9 hours, 415
sm. Tail wind and smoother air flying north, think it was 5.0 and 435
sm.
Ready to fly to MV next month.

The wind finally stopped whistling down the plain long enough to get around
the patch a few times this evening. The air was smooth as glass and just the
thing after a day of being Grandpa.
Good news, replumbing the primer line seems to have fixed the rich running I
found on the trip down to Ponca City for the monthly breakfast bash two
weeks ago. And the fluorescent dye in the coolant helped me find the leak at
last.
Bad news, the coolant leak is in the radiator core. I guess I'll find out if
they recore motorcycle radiators (thank God, it's pre plastic tanks) or if I
have to have one custom made.
If I have to go the custom route, anybody know of a shop that's good and
inexpensive? Inexpensive being relative, like under $300?

What kind of M/C radiator are you using? I have used several different sorts of
M/C radiators with good success, and they can usually be found in junkyards for
under $75.
