Scott,
I built my Firefly. I know Bruce, last I spoke with him he still owns his
but is looking for a field to operate out of. I met you years ago at Johnstown,
the Firestar was on a trailer with a bent gear leg behind a red Camaro, Ed DeRossi
was flying the crap out of his Rotorway. Do not worry about fuel, I keep
a good supply on hand.

I am looking forward to your new videos as I enjoyed the one you just posted very
much! When the time is right I am selling my PPC and getting a Kolb so I can
fly in a little higher winds. With my Powered Parachute I am limited to 15 mph
at the MAX and that is not a comfortable flights. How about the mornings and
evenings in Oregon? It must stop blowing sometime.....

Actually the wind doesn't always blow here in Oregon. It is more of a
seasonal thing. Which part of Oregon determines when the wind blows. I
lived in the South central part of the state for quite a long time. The
best times to fly was from Daybreak until about 11AM. The wind would blow
from about 12PM to 4 or 5 PM then drop. Here in the far eastern part of the
state, the wind blows until about 8 AM and is good until about 2 PM then it
is varying degrees of wind. The only bad part of that is the thermals
during the summer as the temps rise.
Having said all that, to me flying in wind isn't a bunch of fun in a Kolb
or any aircraft for that matter.. It is however much safer than a PPC. The
Kolb will handle it, it just isn't something that I enjoy doing. Worst case
you could not be in a better aircraft because they can handle it, generally
much better than you. My last flight to the Alvord was 1.5 hours. The wind
was kicking up and on my return I had a 20 MPH tail wind. I had a headache
and a bit of nausea for the rest of the day.
Since I am gainfully unemployed (retired) it is easy for me to just wait it
out. Probably a bit spoiled as well.
Some of the Kolbs handle the wind a bit better than others. I have been
told that the little Fire Fly handles wind better than say, the Firestar.
Of course the Mark III does quite well, but as for fun, I am not sure any
of the models would qualify for that. I will let others decide that for
themselves. I have seen some guys that flew in here in Mark III's that were
a bit green and amazed that they were alive. :-)

During my initial approach to the Rock House in 2009, the wind was a bit
brisk. Am told approaching 50 mph. I was squeezing the stick grip so hard
I popped the mike button right out. I try to relax a bit more now days.

Well, I was thinking more of JB and Bruce, I think if their mouths hadn't
been so dry they would have kissed the ground.
