Told him I couldn't remember. Anyway, it is not $5900, it is $6900. At least he was getting a lot of activity...

Even established towers can be hard to see on a hazy day. On a tractor airplane you could be on a collision course with your belly without ever seeing the top. Kolbs are a little better in this case. Areas to pay special attention are over ridges and along interstates where they like to space cell towers. Also a good look around is suggested when making turns greater than 90 degrees.

It was there for a while, then it was gone. At my current stage of "elderly" I had just about convinced myself that I was mistaken. :-) Thanks for the explanation. They are planning a wind farm in that area. They haven't figured out how to keep the wind from twisting the prop shaft in to yet. It gets a bit windy at times here.

Attached is a bad video I took of some of the mountains I flew through. Some day I will keep going and make it to Monument Valley. I had the MKIII as high as it has ever gone (7000') I flew from the valley east over the cascades to Bend Oregon. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8cO_4qGEPg Jason Kolb MKIII Yamaha Powered Portland Oregon Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=297878#297878 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
