They would rather watch the movie. It will never happen. Shame. Pat ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 08:55:13 AM PST US Subject: Kolb-List: beware 912 owners From: "Ralph B" 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.

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. john h mkIII Big Piney, Wyoming ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 09:59:56 AM PST US From: Arksey@aol.com Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Heading Home to Alabama thanks for the update John...blue skys, tailwinds...safe flying...jswan Jim Swan Kolb Firestar ll, 503 Rotax , 6147 Wilcox Rd., Eaton Rapids, Mi 48827 ph 517-663-8488 GPS GPS FOR MY RUNWAY N 42 deg 28.581 W084deg 44.825 ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 10:01:52 AM PST US From: Arksey@aol.com Subject: Re: Kolb-List: beware 912 owners hope the catch the bums...jswan Jim Swan Kolb Firestar ll, 503 Rotax , 6147 Wilcox Rd., Eaton Rapids, Mi 48827 ph 517-663-8488 GPS GPS FOR MY RUNWAY N 42 deg 28.581 W084deg 44.825 ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 01:31:18 PM PST US Subject: Kolb-List: Pennsylvania Kolb builder From: zeprep251@aol.com Hey, Kolb builder near Kittanning PA.I should have written down your name, sorry.Hows it going?
