| Subject: | Re: Kolb Aircraft Web Page |
[quote="John Hauck"]Kolbers:
After many years Kolb Aircraft has included a few of my significant flights on
their web page:
-1994: http://www.kolbaircraft.com/johnhauck3.htm
-2000 and 2001: http://www.kolbaircraft.com/johnhauck2.htm
Most of you List members are familiar with them, but the new folks may not be.
My MKIII was designed and fabricated in 1991, to successfully make extremely long
cross country flights. She accomplished everything I have asked her to do
over the last 19 years and 3,100+ flight hours.
All my gear, arctic and desert, goes inside the aircraft in a cargo compartment,
under and behind the seats, and in the nose cone. It is equipped with a 25
gallon aluminum fuel tank and a Rotax 912uls engine driving a 71" Warp Drive Prop
with tapered, nickle steel edges. It has also made flights to Alaska with
70" and 72" WD props.
These flights were an attempt to fly the border of the Continental US, and fly
north of Point Barrow, Alaska. Both these objectives were accomplished. In addition,
the MKIII was able to fly to the northernmost Eskimo village in Canada,
Tuktoyaktuk, North West Territory, and all 49 States in North America. Since
2003, my MKIII has flown across CONUS every year except 2009. That year I
could not figure out how to get my wheel chair inside my Kolb. ;-)
All cross country flights were made strictly solo with no ground support, even
back to the first ones in my Ultrastar in 1984. Ditto for the Firestar flights.
Kolb Aircraft has been around all these years to support us. Although downsized
considerably over the years, Kolb is still there keeping all us Kolbers in the
air. It is to our advantage to support Kolb Aircraft as much as possible.
Homer Kolb helped me fulfill my dreams.

Fellow Kolbers
It is time formy FirestarII to go I am afraid. I have lost my field to dev
elopment and there are no other fields within a reasonable distance. She h
as about 50hrs on her. She is an original Firestar and I bought it from a
guy that built it with an A&P. She was a quick build kit so the factory di
d a lot of the work. Never any damage. She has oil injection=2Ctwo five ga
llon tanks(use one or two)=2C rear seat and the Engine Information System.
Never saw a drop of rain always kept covered in the barn. I will be listi
ng it in a couple of other places=2Cin a couple of days but thought I would
start with the list first.
Here is a list to the picts I took this summer=2C you can see the dates. P
lease contact me with any questions. I just want a fair price for her.

Bob G/Gang:
Nauga Fly Around is still scheduled for 11-13 Nov 2011, at Nauga Field, Star
Hill, LA. I plan to be there a day or two early to ride herd on Larry
Cottrell who is to arrive from the Rock House, Burns Junction, OR, on
Thursday, 10 Nov.
Pray for good VFR weather so we can have a good safe Louisianna style flyin.
Mike and Jan Marker, Los Lunas, NM, are also scheduled to fly in. Gary
Haley, Dry Creek, TX, is planning to be there.
James Tripp will fly his MKIIIc with Hauck mods, powered with John
Williamson's 912ULS. James and I plan to fly down together.
Looking forward to a good Kolb flyin. Haven't been to one since last
May/June at the Rock House.

Sonex AeroVee (air cooled, direct-driveVW conversion) is affordable and economical,
plus very inexpensive to overhaul. Sonex says "161 lbs complete" (starter,
alternator, carb,exhaust pipes but evidently no muffler
Be very careful...I have a friend that put one in his Highlander and the motor
was junk and sonex would do nothing for him....If you would like to talk to him
email me for his number and talk to him !!
