This is unreal, and fascinating. Surely for the insurers to proceed
against you they must prove that you are at fault. You of course have
`duty of care` and must have taken all `reasonable` steps to ensure
safety. but beyond that?? A smart lawyer will of course make a case
about what is `reasonable` Having a fire truck standing by if you have
20 planes a day may be `reasonable. If you have 2 planes a week it
probably is not.
If a visiting pilot rolls his plane into a ball through incorrect
handling how can you be at fault?

Dana,
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Hopefully, this will clear up som
e misunderstandings.
Of course, nothing prevents a lawyer from filing a suit but state statutes l
ike this provide an excellent basis for a defense. The best defense is pover
ty:-). No money bags, no motive for suit. I am thusly suit-proof!

Pat, This may be too simplistic a view, but I think it's a combination of
the air not being able to follow the sharp breaks and large angles between
the fore and aft panels of the fuselage pod and poor gap sealing of the
wings.

My point is simply this, I spend tons of money and many hours of hard work building
a private strip that I would love to share with nice people like Arty and
her group en route to Oshkosh.
But due to our litigant nature of society I can't ............. It's like people

Unfortunately in the US a signed release (called a 'Hold-Harmless' Release) isn't
worth a lot. Courts throw them out all the time. Insurance co's, and survivors,
will always go after the 'deepest pockets' they can find -- i.e, the richest
person/firm involved. Helluva note. Still a good idea to get a Release; indicates
at least good intentions.
My country is going down the tubes & IMHO too many irresponsible lawyers are a
main cause.
Remember when Thurmon Munson (sp?) killed himself in a jet he'd just bought? Cessna
had to pay some $20million -- and it wasn't the plane's fault!!
Don't get me started! I think we have so many lawyers they all conspire to keep
each other employed. And the courts support grossly unfair outcomes.
Bah.Got room for a disgruntled Yank in Britain?

Fellow Kolbers,
A few months ago, the check valve in my cheap hydraulic jack failed so I put my
thinking cap on and designed a cheap, light-weight (even portable for field repairs)
quick to use axle jack for Kolbs or other aircraft with axles that extend
away from the wheel a bit. I've attached an image of the drawing/sketch that
show the working dimensions. If anyone is interested in more details, I'll
be happy to provide them, including the build dimensions and materials I used.
I plan to make a short video of it in operation on my Slingshot and post that
too.

The type of foam that you use is still a bit of trial and error thing. I
had a bit of wobble yesterday with the large washer that I used for the
top, so I cut an alum. plate to give it more stability. I had trouble
with it rotating on its own yesterday, so I firmed it up a bit. On my
flight yesterday, the video was bouncing all over. I changed it to just
one piece of foam on the top of the windscreen and took off this morning
for another test. I had it firmed up pretty good, and it was doing a jig
on the take off. I found that if I loosened it up it would settle down.
I did this video with it fairly loose.
http://vimeo.com/26204167
It is a remake of a flight that I took much earlier with a much inferior
camera. I have a Tachyon HD camera that is due out then coming the end
of the month. Cost is $139.00 for the camera.
It did OK, but I had to keep watch on it to make sure that it didn't
turn to the side. I have now put a piece of soft foam on the top with
the alum plate. It should absorb the vibration now.

Excellent video, Larry.
The only place around here we can fly safely that low is over Lake Erie or

| Subject: | Creating a private airstrip |
I have some general questions about private airstrips, for anyone who owns one,
uses one, or knows someone that does. I'm moving soon and I found a home I'm
considering buying. It's located on a narrow, long, flat tract of land located
within city limits and it would be perfect for ultralights.
Assuming the usual precautions concerning clearance for trees and power lines,
flying over neighboring dwellings, the noise factor, distance from the city's
metro airport (2.2 miles away), etc., what civil, city or state authorities typically
govern setting one up? Is there an approval process? If there is no formal
application process, I assume a courtesy interview of sorts with the local
authorities would be in order just to make them aware? For those who own a strip,
what formal steps did you take to create it (and how long ago)?

Thanks , George. I thought about posting it as jpg but it was another step and

| Subject: | Bose A20 Headset - NR Power Button - Panel Power |
Dear Listers,
I bought a couple pairs of the new Bose A20's for the RV-8 and they are very nice.
NR is better than the Bose X's and they seem to fit my head a little better
too.
But I quickly discovered that with the A20's you now have to hit the NR Power button
*every time* you start the aircraft even if you have them panel powered.
The older Bose X headsets have a slide switch for the NR power and so you can
just put the slide switch in the On position and not worry about it.
I really didn't like having to turn the NR on all the time and having to remind
my passengers about it, so I came up with a modification that will automatically
turn the NR on when panel power is applied. Its pretty simple, but requires
some special tools. Its completely self-contained inside the Control Module
and works great. The modification is generally only for installations that
are panel-powered, but you could do the modification to a unit that is normally
battery powered with no adverse effect. With the modification, the NR Power
button will work normally in battery power installations.
I created web page on the procedure including step-by-step photos and instructions.
Feedback is welcome.

Phil,
I have a private strip. Put it in about 6 years ago. I think if varies state
to state. The federal (FAA) approval defers to the individual states for the
initial approval. Here in Louisiana, have to go through the aviation division
of the state Department of Transportation.
My advice would be to survey your neighbors. All it takes is one to make life
a bit miserable, even with approval. I try not to hang around my strip to avoid
aggravating anyone. In and out, even though I live in the country.

Hi John:
-
I'm realizing I was a bit too elaborate in my description. I really didn't
want to-build an airstrip as much as simply mow-a 450' strip out of the
650' long tract and fly in and out of the backyard (Kolb Firefly). There a
re no homes within 1,200 feet in line with the flight path.
-
So,-anyone with experience in just flying in and out of the backyard (wit
h respect to how the authorities view that); how did you do it?

OK folks - mark your calenders.
I'm finally getting my head above water (literally) and want to invite folks to
come pass a good time here at Nauga Field.
We haven't been too successful the past couple of years with the weather. Gonna
try again for Nov 11, 12, 13. If the weather is favorable, may head out Sunday
for a group flight toward Texas coast. Just a suggestion - open to others.
If weather acts up again, Nov 18, 19, 20 can be a rain date.
Those that have attended in the past, know how much fun we have. We tend to pass
a good time.
For those that haven't attended before need a little pilot briefing on Nauga Field.
You have to be short field proficient. Passengers not recommended. Nauga
field is 1500 ft with obstacles both ends. Not a problem for Kolbs and pilots
that are used to short fields. If you are used to 3000 plus concrete runways,
this sight picture will scare the @#*^ out of you. Scared me the first time.
We feed you and water you. Even have some T-shirts. You come, the Starhill gang
will do their best to take care of you.
I've been so busy with the flood, grandkids and work, that I have had a hard time
keeping up with e-mail. If you need to get in touch with me might try calling.
Cell -225-505-4353. May have to leave a message because I work shift.
Some details on Nauga Field:
http://www.airnav.com/airport/LS35
Some videos are available on YouTube if want to view them. See the beginning and
end of this one to get a feel for Nauga Field. The dirt work was to get rid
of some "whoopties" a year ago.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Szp1waiP4a0&featurea&list=ULhPMOfYF5wmg&index=12
Just let me know if you plan on attending as we get closer so we can get enough
groceries.
Also have a new option now for those that want to visit and may not want to land
at Nauga Field. There is a brand new bridge that crosses the Mississippi River
right here. That makes False River Airpark (HZR) an 15 minute drive option.
We'll come pick you up and deliver you back.

Thanks too much,

I got you Phil.
Don't want you to rain on your airstrip. Hope you are truly successful in your
venture. As I said, it varies state to state. Here in Louisiana, even ultralight
fields have to go through an state approval process and ultimately FAA registration.
There is a $500 fine for every takeoff and landing from an un-approved
landing strip. That usually requires someone complaining. Every now and
then, I hear something that requires a "precautionary landing". But don't
revisit that place for a long time.
only problem with having your on strip is GRASS CUTTING! At least down here.
Good luck!

First check the local city ordinances to see if there are any restrictions. In
our city there are. Fortunately my strip is outside the city limits. If that works,
then go to the local FAA facility that you say is 2.2 miles away and talk
to the tower chief and see if he will give you a Letter of Agreement. For a
sample of what that looks like, here is mine:
http://www.bcchapel.org/MESF/3TN0.html
If you can leap both of those hurdles, then plan to get an intake silencer, and
an exhaust silencer, and use your airport as a place to depart from, and land
at. Pattern work? Forget it, go someplace else. Flying around over the subdivision?
Are you out of your mind? Neither you nor anyone else gets to do that.
If any of your buds want to fly in and visit, acquaint them with the Letter of
Agreement, and make it clear in no uncertain terms that if they bust it, you could
lose the good will of the FAA, and then - as Yoda says "When angry I am,
like me you will not." One thoughtless friend flying around over the subdivision
waving at all the people below instantly becomes YOU in the eyes of the non-pilot
community, and you will be the one to pay the price. So make it plain up
front to any who might want to come and visit.
Which is sort of how that page I linked to lays it out - and it may not sound real
gracious, but that is how I have done it since the mid 80's, and I have had
no problems, and all my pilot friends are cool with it. They come in and land,
and avoid over flying the houses as much as possible.
And since I have been consistently sort of a hard-ass about it, I have never had
any complaints from the neighbors.

This is reminding me how good I had it in my earlier days. By shear good l
uck (and asking around), I met a guy Sandy at the local radio control field
. He introduced me to his old farmer friend Bill, who had an FAA approved
strip on his 80 acre farm, 8 miles from my house. He welcomed me into his
place, with just a handshake and understanding, while the $#@! local airpor
t managers of both local airports blew smoke in my face. Bill encouraged m
e to use his strip, as it helped him show the FAA that it was "in use". HA
! I did a million T&Go's there, engine-outs, etc, etc. Had a blast. Just
a narrow little strip of grass on the side of his tomato rows, and a wicke
d deep irrigation ditch to the side (and almost always a bit of cross wind!
). Gad, that was good stuff.
Today, I've lost touch of good ol Bill -- he is probably smilin down from a
bove by now. His house got bulldozed about 10 years ago and a new subdivis
ion sits there now. Fortunately, my KXP has an N number now and I fly out
of airports in the same plane that the same airport manager snubbed me on b
efore. The airport's fine, but nuthin will match the sweetness of goofin a
round at Bill's place, back in the day.
Cheers,
