I got a little air time in my Slingshot yesterday after several weeks of not flying
and had my new iPhone with me so I attempted a little video. I uploaded it
to YouTube directly from the iPhone... amazing. Below is a link to this short
video of fall colors on Buffalo's south side. I was up quite high at about 2,400'
msl and the ground here is about 700' so not much detail. As you will note
it was mid-day bumpy.
I apologize for the format. This is the first iPhone video I've taken and did not
know that I could not change it to landscape after taking it in portrait. It
is REALLY tall and skinny. Next time, I'll know. Also, to make the upload faster,
I restricted it to "medium" resolution which is about 1/3rd the size of
the high resolution.

- That was a lot more than I expected out of-a phone like that.- Not
jerky, good color.- The focus was-good enough to see both outside, and
the panel.- Do more.

I suppose I've been watching "The Spirit of St. Louis" too much lately (we
don't have cable, satellite or antenna, just a DVD collection) but looking
at the old Jennies in the movie got me thinking about putting spoked
motorcycle wheels on the main gear of my Mk III. Anybody tried this? Have
pictures?

I like video clips of landings, take offs, maneuvering, low level and
nap of the earth flights, that show the capabilities and fun of flying a
Kolb. Possum used to post some good clips of unique flights in his
airplane.
I'm probably in the minority here, but that is the way I like to fly -
make the Kolb work.
Looking out the window of my 5th wheel sitting in Larry Cottrell's front
yard, I am straining to see the Fall colors. No luck. Nothing to color
but the sage brush. However, the cottonwoods down by the Owyhee River
and any other water source in SE Oregon will show some color soon.

Right off the top of my head, would be one way to get the mkIII in a
decent 3 pt stance by raising the nose with tall skinny spoke wheels.

It definitely would look different. I can't recall the specific makes=2C
but I remember years ago there a couple of ultralights that used
spoked wheels. (a Robertson B1RD comes to mind. ???)
Would putting spoked wheels on a Kolb really make it look like an aiplane
of yester-year? I'm not sure.
Here's a candidate I found on eBay. The rear wheels would be the ones th
at are spoked=3B

Not exactly what John had in mind, me thinks, but close.
At the same time shows the Fall Colors of SW FL and as a bonus, the infamous Beauford
in his Kleenex airplane (aka Kolb Firefly 076)

Russ:
Not sure what the "official" (if any) definition is, but my definition would be
Tampa to Naples. Beauford flies out of Airport Manatee (48X), as did I until
a couple of years ago, and now fly out of Venice (KVNC). We have others from
the Kolb list in or near the region.... some year round and some snow birds.
There was talk a bit earlier on the list of having an all Florida fly in/gathering
this winter.

George A/Gang:
I can do that soon as I get a BFR. Got my Medical in Aug, but missed
getting the BFR at the same time.
After the first of the year I should be good to go, if the rats haven't
eaten my mkIII while I have been gone.

Fall colors not quite there yet, but here's two sunset landings and one
