I will be calling the FBI this morning and see what they say.>>
Hard luck Ralph,
break ins always leave a nasty sense of personal violation.
We had a spate of break ins here in the UK a few years back. Planes on
trailers were just hitched up and driven away. In a few hours they could be
in France and lost on the Continent.
If you are contacting the FBI you could try Homeland Security as well.
Convince them that you think someone is clandestinely building a plane you
will have a standing patrol of F14`s over you .

Backfilled the entrance ramp to nearly level, for easy entrance and exiting the
Kolb in and out. Purchased a used electric motor and reduction drive unit today

This is a very good point Pat. I want to thank all of you for your comments.
Many people, law enforcement, and the feds are now involved with this
case. It is a federal offense to tamper with an aircraft, so the FBI has been
notified. This doesn't affect me only. It has angered many pilots here
and around the country. This was a beautiful aircraft with
marvelous workmanship by Mark German. Those people that committed this crime had
no respect for that or aviation.
We had many trips planned in the Kolbra this summer and none of that will take
place. I would like to rebuild, but it will take time
and effort to do that. Laurie is hurting as she loves to fly and can't.
I believe whomever did this or is responsible for this crime is in serious hot
water with all the people working the case. They will be caught and prosecuted.
I would not want to be in their shoes right now.
Ralph

Folks:
This is the most difficult time I have had getting a good weather window
long enough to fly from Alabama to Oregon. Crazy weather. Snowing in
Denver. High winds in Kansas. Patience, patience, patience!
Going to give it another shot Sunday morning, unless there is a big change
in the weather between now and then. Then again, I may not get out of here
Sunday.

Harbor Freight recently had a system with 4 cameras, a monitor, and a DVR
for cheap [maybe less than $200].
A while back, I called a local alarm company and got them to give me about
10 old cameras with mounts that had been removed from a bank. We installed
them all over our field [dummy cameras] along with a bunch of warning
signs. It has worked so far.
Shack
do not archive
List,
My problem was the opposite, leaving rather than taking. I live just over South
Mt.
from the city on a dead end road. When I bought the place in '00 I spent days
hauling
everything from construction debris to old appliances to the landfill. Since then
I've
still put up with jerks sneaking down at night and dumping.
I bought the cameras with blinking lights and mounted them on telephone poles along
the
road. They were very effective, but after about a year the batteries die and it's
kind
of a hassle to drive my front end loader into the brush, climbing up to the raised
bucket,
and taking the cover off the camera to replace the battery.
My property is well populated with hungry deer and I have Nite Guard (amazon.com
for about
twenty bucks) solar blinkers which last years around my property, so I relocated
a couple
onto the telephone poles by the dummy cameras and now my problem is history. The
Nite
Guard devices blink much brighter than the camera lights and they last years, so
for me
it's worth the extra money.
Good luck to all who have a problem with the pond scum who steal from or dump on
your
property. There must be a special place in hell for such unmitigated arrogance.

Awwwh , that's too bad....
If you have insurance.... you might be the prime suspect...
It looks too clean , no damage getting it out...
Unscrewed the EIS ??? How considerate of the thief....
.
You don't have any enemies in the area do you ?
.
"IF" you didn't do it yourself... it's someone you know...
Someone who has been in the hanger....
.
.
Just so you know... The fly-ins have had terrible turn outs
since you called the FAA several times ...
Wow.... Maybe one of THOSE guys got even ?
.
.
Oh well...
What a shame...

Ron, The FAA has a publication you might want to look at. Advisory Circular
103-7 (AC 103-7) "The Ultralight Vehicle" explains the ins and outs of
determining if your aircraft qualifies (or at least let you know what "the
man" will look for). You can download it here:
http://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/advisory_circulars/index.cfm/go/document.information/documentID/22640
<http://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/advisory_circulars/index.cfm/go/document.information/documentID/22640>There's
also AC 103-6 "Ultralight Vehicle Operations, Airports, ATC, and Weather"
http://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/advisory_circulars/index.cfm/go/document.information/documentID/22639
<http://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/advisory_circulars/index.cfm/go/document.information/documentID/22639>Both
are free.
Good luck and safe flying.
Rick

Charles Lindbergh was on his way to see the Broadway musical "Rio Rita" when
he decided to give the weather bureau a call just in case. The next morning
NX-211, the "Spirit of St. Louis" lifted off Roosevelt Field in Long Island,
NY bound for Paris, France. The rest is, as they say, history.
Attached is NACA Technical Note No. 257, "Technical Preparation of the
Airplane "Spirit of St. Louis"" by Donald Hall, the engineer who designed
her.
Yeah, I know it's not a Kolb, but if you were waiting for the weather to
clear so you could start a long flight, :-}, it might help you pass the
time.
