Subject: | What a difference a few days makes |
We had a bit of Alex park over the middle of Kansas for the holiday weekend
so I decided to see what shape the Arkansas is in this morning. All the
sandbars are under 3 to 4 feet of water. NOAA says the peak came early this
morning with flooding farther down stream at the town of Oxford. Looks like
it's going to be another wet summer on the Great Plains.

A friend of mine - Carl Hoffman - is putting his MKIII up for sale because he is
in his 90's, has had some joint replacements, and is no longer able to get in
and out of it without help.
Here are the pictures on Barnstormers -
http://www.barnstormers.com/listing_images.php?id=451075
It has 110 hours, the finish is fantastic, a lot of the work was done by Kolb.
It has a 582 and a 3 to 1 C box with a 3 blade Warp Drive, and it is possibly
the quietest Kolb I have ever heard. Electric start, hydraulic heel brakes.
It is built exactly to plans, no extra bells and whistles, I have flown it and
it flies exactly the way a light MKIII with no extra stuff ought to, no "All it
needs is..." stuff. With that being said, the tach doesn't work right, it reads
too high. I suggested a TinyTach, I think he will just let the buyer fix it.
He wants $14,900, and there is a new trailer available, $5,000 for it. The airplane
comes with covers for all surfaces.
Here are some pictures I took of it last summer when some friends & I got it out
of the trailer & put it together for him. Not much detail, but you can see how
good the finish is.
Phone number is 423-863-4466, ask for Ed Athey, Ed is selling it for him.

training, but that's it. 'What that means is that I will need to get 9 more hours
of instruction from another CFI and then go back and take my check ride.
You also need to have the written passed and a recommendation from the other CFI
before you go back to do the check ride.

Duane,
Sorry, I'm a little late in replying. I don't check the forum as often since I
am little out of commission right now.
I know your frustration with trying to get the SP. Three years ago I had a hard
time finding anyone who would teach SP and there was no LSA to rent (it's still
that way around here). By the time I got my own ELSA I had already went ahead
and gotten my medical so I could at least solo in the C150. Since I had
gotten that far it was really just a few more hours to go ahead and get the PP.
I upgraded the software I had bought from Gleim and that was good enough to
get me through the written test.
I don't regret one minute of the extra training and now extra freedom (to fly more
types of planes or at night) of getting and having the PP. It was worth the
extra time and expense.

Hi Cristal,
My sentiments exactly. It will not cost much more to get my PP, so that's
the route I eventually intend to take. So far all my training time will
count towards that and I don't know why it all won't count. All I will need
is 5 more hours training, another check ride, a medical and a cross country.
I'm pretty close to that right now.
