I have recently sold the plans I had for the Mk II to a guy in OH.- He is
re-building a kolb.- =0AIt was suggested that I scan & distribute the pl
ans here on-list.- Not only am I not able to scan items that large, it wo
uld be an infringement of copy-right.=0AHopefully, the sharing of these his
torical plans can continue; anyone with the capability to scan large items
could contact Kolb and ask if they would object to that type of sharing.=0A
I remember meeting & speaking with Barbara at the-old Kolb factory severa
l times.- If you knew her, you will quickly recognize the grammar pattern
s in the pictured assembly manual. I asked her about it years ago, and she
admitted her contributions.- I could "hear" her speaking as I read.=0A-

List message posted by: "FIRESTARII" <CCMFarms@aol.com>=0A=0AEducation is a
relative term and is subject to the standards set forth by the judging par
ty.- Hence a brain surgeon is well versed on the human brain but would be
relatively ignorant in a discussion with a proctologist!- Never the less
they could have a meaningful discussion about HMO's and frivolous law suit
s and mutually enjoy the various different prospectives.- One might even
argue that the brain surgeon and proctologist, both doctors, view the same
person from opposite ends! :D =0AThe same argument could be made about avia
tion safety.-- Is it safe to do a snap roll on take off???- The answe
r is both yes and no, neither one is necessarily correct.-- If a newbie
sport pilot tries it, it is reasonable to call it unsafe however, if Shaun
Tucker were to do it nobody would call it unreasonably dangerous or foolis
h!- =0AAlso what exactly is a safe, properly registered EAB airplane any
how?-- Who knows?- One FSDO's answer frequently varies quite a lot fr
om another.- What makes an EAB airworthy...the DAR and the paper work not
necessarily the airplane.- My friend has flown some "Certificated" "Real
" airplanes that were far less physically airworthy than a non-certificated
EAB's.- What makes an airplane airworthy???- The paper work not the ai
rplane.- Is it legal to fly an airplane out of annual, YES.- Is it lega
l to fly an airplane with broken parts, yes!- Is it legal to fly through
class B airspace without a transponder, YES!-- Why, because of paperwor
k, if paperwork is all in order then all these things become not only legal
but safe if executed properly.=0AAs for the discussion taking place on a p
ublic, open forum....You hit the nail on the head of one of the major, majo
r problems with aviation!- If an individual has a question or situation t
hat falls outside of what most consider the norm,- who can he or she disc
uss it with?-- Most just bury it or hide it or pretend it never happene
d out of fear of false accusations/assumptions by others.-- That being
the case more often then not, how then as aviators, are we to learn as well
as teach others!- =0AI opened this thread for "My friend" because if the
question/thought crossed his mind then I find it entirely likely this is n
ot the first time the issue has come up!=0APerhaps if we can discuss it for
what it is then rather than calling foul...we can all learn a little somet
hing and be safer and better educated in the end!!!!!=0A=0A--------=0ALow a

- I stopped in at a local boat launch, just to kill some time on a nice d
ay.- The launch area was pretty busy, but in the course of about an hour
I saw at least three boats and personal watercraft with engine trouble.-
I commented about it to the DEP officer stationed there, and asked if it co
uld be the result of leaving fuel in them over the winter.- He said it wa
s ethanol in the fuel giving all the problems.- He has a private pilot ti
cket, and was aware of the controversy with ethanol.- There were only abo
ut 8 boats there, while 3 of them either wouldn't start, ran poorly, or qui
t after a short distance.- Another argument for fresh fuel, and cleaning
the fuel systems frequently.
