Is there going to be a Kolb Flyin this fall?
Jon L

John L/Kolbers:
Kolb Aircraft set 16-18 Nov 2012, as the date of the Kolb
Homecoming this year. This date was set last summer. I
have not heard anything about the flyin since then.
Will check with Travis and Bryan to see what the status of
the Kolb Homecoming is and post results to the Kolb List.

The above is true until you reach the "best glide" speed for your aircraft.
If one glides at a slower speed that best glide, the do not move point will
move closer and closer. Also as the speed continues to be reduced, the
dwell flight time will increase until you reach stall.
What is important here is that you pick a spot that you can reach and still
have enough altitude and speed to make a safe and as normal approach as
possible. It reduces pilot anxiety.
As a side note, earlier this week a fellow was delivering a Capella xls to
Lima, Ohio. He ended up in a bean field about 1,000 feet short of my home
airport. I talked to him as he and his grandson were winching it from the
field to the road. He said he was at 3,500 feet and about five miles from
Randolph County Airport, when the front two cylinders of his 912ul seized.
He made no flap touch down in a bean field south of a road. The nose wheel
impacted with and tore off on the edge of the road. This bounced him across
the road into the bean field on the north side of the road. Other than a
torn off nose wheel the plane looked fine.
If he was 3,500 feet asl, he would have had to have a glide ratio of 11 to 1
to make the airport. If he was 3,500 agl, he would have had to have a glide
ratio of 7.5 to 1 to reach the airport. For the point at which he touched
down the ratios come out to be 10.6 to 1 and 7.25 to 1.
If he had paid attention to the dot, he could have slowed it up a little and
put it into the bean field parallel close to the road and may be saved the
nose wheel.

Hi Folks:
Talked with Travis and Bryan reference the upcoming Kolb
Homecoming, 16-18 Nov 2012.
Yes, the flyin is still on.
Unlike previous Kolb Homecomings, we will have pay as you go
food and drinks and/or a "kitty" jar to help Kolb Aircraft
defray expenses for the flyin.
I also checked weather history for that week for the last 3
years. Looked like there was a mixture of rain fog, and
good weather, along with cooler temps, but not cold except
at night.
I plan to flyin in and camp with my airplane as usual.
Hope to see a bunch of you all there.

I don't know what size they are, but I got mine from Lowe's. They are spri
ngs that limit a screen door or storm door from opening too far. You have
to remove the chain and bracket from them. There may be other sources, but
I haven't found them.
Does any body know what size compression springs work best on on Kolbs?
