Dear Listers, Curiously, even though the number of List subscriptions are significantly up this year, support during this year's Fund Raiser is still substantially behind last year. There are only a couple more days left in November and the end of the Fund Raiser is quickly approaching. I have always preferred a non-commercial List experience as many, many members have also expressed that they do as well. However, if the yearly fund raiser cannot generate sufficient funds to keep the bills paid, other sources of income might be required including some sort of advertising. Please don't let that happen! Your personal Contribution of $20 or $30 goes a long ways to keeping the operation a float. Please make sure your name is on this year's List of Contributors published in December.

Then another day like today comes along that's just irresistible and well, what the heck, it's only a little gas and two stroke oil. Almost an hour of Kolb therapy going around the patch, even a trip down to Oxford for one landing on the new asphalt. Okay, I'm ready for winter.

Well, first flight since the first of May 2010, for my MKIII and me. All went well. I haven't forgotten how to aviate, neither has Miss P'fer. I got 1.2 hours today. Miss P'fer has 3,010.9 hours on her airframe and 441.4 hours on her 912ULS. The airplane flew well, despite all the barn dust, bird and bug crap, and dirt dauber nests. Got about a half teaspoon of water out of the fuel tank before the first flight. Both carb float bowls were dry with evidence that there had been a little moisture in each of them. Engine fired right up and ran like a top. While she was sitting for so long, she had two Titan exhaust springs break. First time I have had exhaust springs break when the engine was not running. Must say it was good to get back into the air again. I am looking forward to making some long flights this year. The only one I got last year was a flight down to Sun and Fun in Lakeland, Florida. I had my doubts if I was going to be able to make the flight to Monument Valley next year, but after today's flight, I think it is doable. Reckon she will really fly good if I get a warm spell so I can wash her. Maybe tomorrow. john h Titus, Alabama ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 06:06:43 PM PST US From: chris davis Subject: Re: Kolb-List: First Flight John , So very glad to hear you got back in the air !

Chris Davis Thanks, Chris/Gang: I'm still recovering, but it is definitely getting better each day. Was happy the 912ULS performed so well after nearly 7 months down time. It was just as though she had been flown regularly. I was also surprised I had no more moisture in the fuel tank, which was at about 5 gal, or 20% capacity. The fuel was a mixture of 87 octane mogas w/ethanol and 100LL, plus Marvel Mystery Oil. I have no idea what the ratio of the two fuels was, but probably more 87 than 100. A good bath and the bird will be as good as new. john h mkIII Titus, Alabama ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
