Done everything from pulling engine to replace the Lord mounts, to changing the oil and filter. In between, I had to rewire radio, GPS, and the DRE 6000 ANR headset. Damn rat chewed through, not only the power wires, but cut the GPS coax cable as well. Was a good time to replace the radio coax too. The dirty rat also cut a brake line. I didn't know it until after I had rebuilt both master cylinders. While the seats were out I cleaned up a lot of mildew and mold from inside the fuselage, the result of heat and condensation while sitting for a year in the hanger unused. While the center section was off I insulated it and the rear of the fuselage for noise reduction. I think it worked. While flying yesterday I was told my radio sounded much better without all the cockpit noise. It is still noisy as Hell, but has been quieted down a little bit. Plan to depart Gantt International Airport, Sunday afternoon, and fly to Panacea, Florida. There is a grass strip there about a mile from a good seafood restaurant. I'll camp out there and depart early to catch the Kolb gang at Lakeland about noon. Looking forward to seeing the Kolb folks. Have not seen them since Sun and Fun 2010. Also looking forward to seeing old friends that I usually only get to see at Lakeland or Oshkosh. Kolb asked me if I would tie down Miss P'fer on the space next to theirs. Although she is 20 years old with faded, chipped paint, and a lot of fair wear and tear, she still draws attention when folks find out a little bit about her history. Miss P'fer still flies like she did when she was new, but her pilot has slowed down a bit since then. See you all in Lakeland. john h mkIII - 3,019.0 hrs airframe 912ULS - 450.5 hrs engine Titus, Alabama ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:21:33 PM PST US From: Arksey@aol.com Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Sun and Fun 2011 John, good to hear you are up and going...have a good time and fly safe.... jim swan firestar ll 503 michigan ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 10:01:47 PM PST US Subject: Kolb-List: Re: Late fall flight in the Kolbra From: "ces308" Ralph, Always enjoyable !
