Even I get bored with them. The main change is the picture quality, and there are more photos than flying. I had not been down to the River this year, and even though this is the only time of the year when I don't have the area to myself, The weather was cooperating, so no excuse not to go. I am using a 503 on the plane at this time, and it uses a bit more fuel than the HKS, so I took four gallons with me. The weather site assured me that if I started early I would have a tail wind both ways. Sure, most likely a head wind both ways. They say that "paranoia is merely an heightened sense of reality". It pays when flying here. Sure enough there was a headwind that had a pretty bumpy layer, so I climbed up about 1500 feet. I still had a head wind, but it was smooth. There were a couple of campers down on the River, but for the most part I still had it to myself. The River is very low this year. I landed in one of the large empty smooth areas and refueled. The flight was 2 hours and 18 minutes. I found a quiet layer of air at about 2000 feet AGL, and made my way back home. https://vimeo.com/100053125 password- owyheeflyer Larry -- *If you forward this email, or any part of it, please remove my email address before sending.* ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 02:55:36 PM PST US Subject: Kolb-List: Re: Forth of July flight From: JC Gilpin Yeh, still in the US, really only just started this trip. Haven't done any flying yet, been too busy on this project in Denver. Helping friend Tony build a Savannah S kit, an all metal two place sort of like the one I have in OZ. Today we finished the build, and prepped it for painting. Took us 230 hrs over 20 days. Not bad for a couple of older fellas..... This ICP Savannah kit is great. They really know how to use CNC equipment to best advantage. 14,000 holes and they all lined up! So just a matter of finding the right pieces in the big box and clecoing and riveting. Slowest part is reading the construction manual, which is pathetic..... So it's mostly just like a big jigsaw puzzle, dig around through the pieces looking for one with the pattern of holes that will match the last piece, and then usually it's the right piece and won't fit anywhere else.... I'll be here until the end of the month, then on the road, and hope to catch the biker's rally in Sturgis, SD before heading on up to Alberta for the mandatory relatives visit.

I decided that if the winds permitted I would go back up into the hills for a fun flight. I filled my coffee cup, did my preflight and headed out. I both wanted to fly, and to have something new to practice the video editing program. So you will again be burdened with another video. I have a friend that believes that 2 to 3 minutes is about right for a video. I guess I am too long winded to do that. I cut this one at least three times, and it still is too long. > > The flight covered 1 hour and 24 minutes, and I had a headwind both directions.

Larry ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 09:13:17 PM PST US Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Owyhee River flight From: Larry Cottrell The HKS is sitting on a shelf, waiting for a different muffler system. I recently took possession of 503 with three blade IVO, oil injection, and a BRS chute. If I use the chute, I have no place to put the current muffler which was sitting on the root tube. The 503 runs well, starts easy, but uses a bit too much gas for me, so If anyone is wanting a 503, I will make them a deal for the whole works, minus the BRS.
