Larry,
As always, your photos are great and the narrative and lessons learned are very
worthwhile.
I've been considering a HacMan for my single Bing 94 but just installed an EGT
probe after my last fall flight so I'm going to fly with that awhile first. Slingshot
still stored for another week, so I've not yet flown it with an EGT.

We are going to have a population explosion in Malheur County, Oregon,
next month. The population will increase by 4 or 5, maybe more. The
coyotes and antelope won't have a chance when confronted with the Kolb
Air Force.
In 4 weeks, I'll be hitting the trail for Monument Valley, Utah, and The
Rock House, Burns Junction, Oregon.
My little MKIII did great on my flight to Lakeland and back. I have a
few small maintenance matters to take care of and I will be ready to go.
Times a wasting!

I have an Original Firestar that is a sturdier machine than the Firefly. I was
told by Dennis Souder not to use any engine larger than a 40hp Rotax 447. I'm
a 200 lb guy and that 447 shoots me up in the air with no problem. It has plenty
of power. A 503 would be too much power and use more fuel. I'm sure the 447
is all the Firefly can handle. A 503 would also make the Firefly an overweight
ultralight.

Cristal,
hope you get good weather for the Vidalia air show next
weekend....last year some of us kolb pilots here in michigan got together at the
fly
ins.....was fun....we have a email group to keep each other informed on when
and where we plan on attending, worked good....plan on the same thing this
year. Weather is always a concern and cancels some of our plans...yes there
is benefits to simplicity....my 503 starts so easy I see no need for a
electric starter.....and I am 79 years old...I do have a small battery for the
electric fuel pump and to power up my GPS but that is all of the modern
stuff I have on board.....fly safe....jswan

Things seem to be a bit slow, so here goes.
I tried really hard to keep my nose to the grind stone and get some
stuff done around the house. Yesterday was gorgeous and today is even
better. The temp started climbing at an unprecedented rate, (79 now ) so
I turned off the news got my rake and went to where I left off on the
runway. It sure funny but ground that won't grow anything but tumble
weeds and Goats heads (nasty caltrops type of plant) can sure grow
rocks. They just pop up every where you don't want them, but I digress-
There I was raking up a sweat and the wind just wouldn't blow. Finally I
couldn't stand it any longer so back I go, Tell the wife where I intend
to go, turn on the Spot tracking and roll out the Firestar.
I decided to follow the old ION Hwy to Rome and then see what interested
me. That is the Idaho,Oregon and Nevada Hwy. It was in use in the early
days of settlement here in the West. It lead into the mining camps of
Silver City and the like. (Yes there is one in Idaho, and probably most
every other state in the union.) The road goes down into Rome where one
of the early families built a Toll Bridge to cross the Owyhee River. I
then flew upriver dodging Ducks and Geese and then turned along the
Pillars Of Rome. ( settlement of a cafe with some gas pumps named Rome
because the early settlers thought that was what Roman Pillars should
look like.) I then took a better look at Scotts Butte, since some who
saw yesterdays post and pictures were curious.
As I mentioned it was the orifice where most of the Lava in this area
probably spewed out of.
Here is the URL for the Spot tracking if you are interested-
http://share.findmespot.com/shared/faces/viewspots.jsp?glId=0siAoTNYTZD
6KPbiDncNLfKZruRqx5nUO
I also took a video that is about 8 minutes long that I will try to
upload to You Tube. When I get it done,I will supply the URL.
Flight was 45 minutes, burned less that 2.2 gallons. Did not use the
Hac-man system.

I apparently screwed up in that I use copy written music, so there is no
sound. Sorry!
