A transparent fuselage.?>>
I would love it but most people do not want to be reminded of the fact that
they are in the sky. They would rather watch the movie.
It will never happen. Shame.

| Subject: | beware 912 owners |
I found out from the detective working the case on my Kolbra theft, that there
is a demand for 912 engines in the gulf states for uses on airboats. The 912 is
an expensive engine and thieves know if they can get their hands on one, it's
worth money and not the money you paid for it. They can be sold for a few hundred
to a few thousand dollars.
My Kolbra 912 was vulnerable because it was easy to remove. Four bolts was all
it took to take the engine, oil cooler, radiator, exhaust, engine mount, and prop.
Any 912 that is outside of a cowling is an easy take. Trike, PPC, and Kolb
owners should be most concerned.
Remember, going to fly-in's is fun, but when you do this, you are advertising your
aircraft to those who want to steal your engine.
Until the criminals who took my engine and avionics are caught, this will
continue. If they can break into a modern locked hanger, as they did with my theft,
they can easily snip a padlock to take your engine and whatever they can
get their hands on during their visit.
These thieves not only affected my flying, but my wife's flying too. This put the
whole flying community on edge as these people are still at large and I suspect
they will strike again. To me, they are terrorists in the flying community
for what they have done.

Just landed in Big Piney, Wyoming, from Rexburg, Idaho. Flew 11,500 feet over
the big Rocky Mountains. Turned the 912ULS 5400 and 5500 rpm all the way across.
She purred like a kitten. ;-)
My good camera failed to turn on, so took pictures with the little Fuji pocket
camera. Hope they turn out ok.
Next stop is Rawlins, WY, 158 sm. Weather looks good despite the 20 to 30 mph
winds out of the west. I'll get a good kicker into Rawlins.
