Motor has made for running in flying even with open circuit for safety. while open circuit, motor continues running. Like a sea boat of Kill Switch, by making short the motor stop.

Bet you had a fun time with that name in high school, eh...? Beauford was nearly as bad, I reckon... Anyway, the 447 kill switch ("shorting cable") wire is black and yellow... Ungrounded is the "run" condition, ground it to kill it. Getting mine to stop running has never been the problem.... Good luck with yours...

Lots I don't see at a mile above the ground doing 130 knots, still it was a great flight, about 13 hrs flight time in total. Now looking for a home for the Kolb the T-hanger I got here ain't big enough for the Kolb and the Beech. Ron @ FLL ========================== ======================================== ---- John Hauck wrote: ============ Hi Folks: Making final plans and preparation for my annual flight West. Will be departing Gantt International Airport in one to two weeks, depending on wind and weather between here and the Rock House near Burns Junction, Oregon. Normal route is 1,876 sm. Flight time is 25.0 hours at 75 mph ground speed. Fuel consumption will be 125 gal. At 5.50 to 6.00 a gal, that's between 687.50 and 750.00 for the flight West, one way. Is it worth it? You bet!!! I always enjoy it, not matter how tough it gets. I also try to remember that normal folks don't get to experience a flight like this at any price. Route of flight is: -Gantt International Airport, Alabama -M40 Aberdeen, MS -KTUA Tunica, MS -KHBZ Heber Springs, AR -KEOS Neosho, MO (RON (remain overnight)) -KEQA El Dorado, KS -KGBD Great Bend, KS -KGLD Goodland, KS -KAKO Akron, CO (RON) -KLAR Laramie, WY -KRWL Rawlins, WY -KRKS Rock Springs, WY -KBMC Brigham City, UT (RON) -06U Jackpot, NV -U91 Grasmere, ID -The Rock House, OR Where I spend the night is tentative depending on me, wind, weather, and the airplane. I have flown this route both ways many times. It is very boring until about Akron, CO, when I have the Rockies in sight. Nearly always windy between Great Bend, KS and Brigham City, UT. Hopefully, the wind will be on my back. Getting excited about making another cross continent flight and seeing my old friends, and meeting new ones. Give me a shout if you are near my route of flight and want to have lunch or a cup of coffee. john h mkIII Titus, Alabama 334-567-6280 home 334-315-2621 cell -- Ron @ KFHU ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message kolb-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Kolb-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/kolb-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/kolb-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
