Hi Folks:
We have had a lot of windy days here in SE Oregon. This morning dawned calm and
clear.
First landing blew the left brake line out of the caliper fitting. Luckily it
was at the Rock House.
Already got it fixed except for bleeding the brake. Soon as Roger H gets back
from flying we'll get that done and be back in the air.
Got folks here from Australia, Hawaii, Alabama, Texas, Oregon, Utah, Louisiana,
and Arizona. Despite the windy days, we have had a great time visiting with
old and new friends.
John Galprin, the VG man is from Australia, touring the US with a Fire Fly and
a converted Airstream trailer. We have enjoyed John and his stories and photos
of flying agressive cross country flights all over the Land Down Under.
Wish all of you could fly out and join us here.

It's going to take me a while to get used to looking at my Merry Dawn (Mark II
Twinstar) without her tundra tires! But she lost 7 pounds in the process.
A big thank you to Claude, fellow airport bum, and my dad for helping me get this
changed out! I would have been lost without them.
Hoping for really good weather this weekend to fly her. I think I might be a little
nervous coming in for the first landing. [Wink]

Well, Roger H got back from flying, but did not have a little hand pump oil can
and 1/8" tubing to bleed the brakes. So...we scrounged up enough stuff to do
the job anyhow. For a pump we used the quart ATF plastic oil bottle which we
squeezed by hand hard enough to force fluid upstream. Found a gear lube bottle
cap with spout to stick the tubing on. Went from 1/4" ID fuel line to 1/8"
line to match up bottle to bleed valve. Read to go flying.
We have Kolb Fire Fly, FS's, MKIII, Murphy Rebel, Grumman Chetah, Titan Tornado,
RV7 and a Talon (Maxair clone).
Us Kolb folks get along with everyone.

The winds have finally subsided for a while, and I had a chance to try a
Drift Video camera. I mounted mine in the best spot that I could find and
stuck the drift on the nose of the Firestar so that I could get a side by
side comparison. The drift was far superior. So much so that I immediately
ordered one. Here is a link to my blog-

Somehow I didn't feel dirty with you winking at me.

camera mount/wiring built into the STBD wing (that=92s the =91RIGHT=92
wing for
you Air Force bubbas...). After watching your video =BD dozen times
already,

I bought the camera at B&H Foto on line. Best price that I could find. I
think Amazon wanted at least $100.00 bucks more. What I like about it is
that it has a rechargeable battery, remote turn on, and I don't have that
annoying harmonic wave in it. I was also able to stick it on the nose of
the plane with a mount that consists of a bent piece of alum flat stock. I
am as busy as a one armed paper hanger right at the moment, but if you need
it I will take a picture for you.
