Thanks for the kind comments, Frank D.
This flight has been one of the best. The MKIII was absolutely flawless. I did
have to tighten one radiator clamp that I failed to snug up when I replaced
the radiator hoses prior to this trip. The Rotax 912ULS never missed a beat.
I believe they get better after a few long flight days. Cleans them out and
loosens them up.
I have had an electrical problem bugging me for a few years now. Engine oil temp
and oil pressure gauges had a mind of their own. The bad thing was the oil
temp would read high and the pressure low after takeoff. I've had the instrument
panel off several times. Removed and replaced connections, checked wiring,
but never could get them to read correctly. Always....first thought is an engine
problem. After about the second day of this trip I noticed the gauges were
all pointing where they were supposed to be pointing, and they continued to
indicate as they should. Go figure...
Our Kolb group is getting larger at the Rock House. Most folks that are attending
will be arriving this week. Wish you all could be here to share the fun.

johnh,
Congratulations on making the trip safely. I understand what 3, or even 4
attempts at landing in high gusty winds would be, but I don't know what
3.5 landing attempts is. Please explain

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.
