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.

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.
