While I imagine the night wasn't too bad, if I had known soon enough I would have made a phone call. I'm a Texican in California but have people in Sherman. Be nice to haul you out to the ranch for some good food and rest. Stuart and Nick; As I sit here totally removed from any resulting misadventure of my technical ruminations, I give them to you freely, without charge. Suppose some part of the aileron was used to move a disc in a closed cylinder... an aluminum disc perhaps and maybe an aluminum cylinder... Such a device would not 'seal' well and the moving disc would encounter very little resistance to reciprocating movement within the cylinder, if the period of the reciprocation approximated that of the intended use of the system. However perhaps an oscillation excited by the aircraft's airflow would have a much shorter period. Perhaps one short enough that said cylinder and piston machination would tend to dampen the movement of the aileron. Maybe to call this an "idea" is generous- maybe it is the sporadic bio-electric misfiring that pass for thoughts generated by the decaying detritus of this old man's brain. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 07:00:19 AM PST US Subject: Kolb-List: Re: two for one From: "Richard Pike" Wonder if R/C truck shocks would work if you took the spring off? http://www.hobbyhot.com/RC-Model-Car-Aluminum-98mm-R-C-Hobby-Oil-Shock-Damper-2pcs-OS340.html -------- Richard Pike Kolb MKIII N420P (420ldPoops) Kingsport, TN 3TN0 My soul shall be joyful in the LORD; It shall rejoice in His salvation.

Here are the reduced copies of the pictures that he wanted you to see. Couldn't arouse the curmudgeon:-) Larry Hi Folks: Larry didn't tell you I logged 3.5 landings upon my arrival at the Rock House airstrip. Great to be here. First internet I have had in some time. I departed home Sunday and completed my flight West in 4.5 days. Flew 2,025 miles in 28.7 hours. These figures I am pulling off the top of my head. Guessing I burned about 150.0 gal of fuel. Used zero oil. Had absolutely no engine or aircraft problems. Well I did have one slight problem I picked up and corrected during my preflight at Monument Valley yesterday morning. I discovered a coolant hose clamp I had not snugged tight enough when I replaced them prior to my flight West. Here's how my flight time worked out day by day: -Day One: 8.0 -Day Two: 8.0 -Day Three:4.0 -Day Four: 6.7 -Day Five: 2.0 Highest altitude was 12,400 feet right over the top of a mountain about 6.0 miles from Ely, NV, airport at about 6,500 ft. That's a lot of fun dropping down the side of the mountain that quickly. Weather is nice an cool out here and the humidity if extremely low. Feels good to get out of the heat and humidity of the SE. I'm very proud of my MKIII. I has done a great job getting me to the Rock House safely. Wish I had had a video camera to record my approach to and triple attempt to land at Monument Valley. That video would be a great response to questions of how safe is the Kolb and how well does it handle extreme weather. It did good. john h mkIII Rock House, near Burns Junction, Oregon ---- Larry Cottrell wrote: > John just touched down at the rock house. > Larry > > -- > *If you forward this email, or any part of it, please remove my email > address before sending.* -- *If you forward this email, or any part of it, please remove my email address before sending.* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message kolb-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Kolb-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/kolb-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/kolb-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
