how do you adjust the tape for differing winds. 5, 10 mph..12 or 14????.
now is that straight down the runway,,, cross wind from the left or the
right.. did anyone say quartering tail wind, by the time we get done
the piece of tape will be a sheet of paper with peep holes punched through
out it each marked with a different wind configuration, glide speed, wing
loading. we might as well be flying some tractor we cant see out of. OR
you could just carry a flat rock in your shirt pocket,,,,,, open the door
and toss it out and follow it down. just make sure it is a brightly colored
rock so you can see it all the way to the ground. with too much tape on
the window you may just for get to fly the plane,,, as you try and remember
what each mark on the tape is for. the reality of the situation is,,,,
by the time you figure out where to put the tape, you should not need it any
more. LOL

What is being forgotten here is that the "spot that doesn't move" has
already taken into account the wind conditions, wing loading and glide
speed. If the spot is not over the runway, fly to the point where it is.
If not, I believe it was Pat Ladd, that said if you fly to it with a
constant glide slope, you will impact the earth at that point.
My suggestion of using the tape has nothing to do but act as a guide as
to were to look for the spot. Once a person finds the spot and fixes on
it, the pilot will no longer see the tape and can focus on the things that
a pilot should focus on while landing under varying wind speed and direction.

Gday All,
Well, I've finally finished up my tour of the Western USA with a FireFly
towed in a trailer.
I flew out of 44 airfields in 13 states in 5 months.

It was a blast!

JG/Kolbers:
Was fortunate enough to get to spend time with John during
his stay at the Rock House last June. He is a man after my
own heart. He is not afraid to fly anywhere, especially in
his own country of Australia.
Check out his web site if you get a chance.
Glad I got to meet you, John. Good luck on your trip home.
Will be departing the Rock House in the morning, after
spending a great month with Larry and Karen Cottrell. Wish
I could stay longer, but got to get home to vote by 7 Nov,
and get ready for the Kolb Homecoming shortly thereafter.
How many Kolbers plan to attend the Homecoming? fly, drive,
or hike? Be good to get an idea of about how many we can
expect to attend.
Thanks,

Looks like great fun. I hate that I missed your trip. We'd have been
happy for you to make a pit stop here at Slobovia Outernational (MS71),
about mid way between Diamondhead & Joe's place in Grenada.
