Do you mean a plane with an FAA Type Certificate? If so, then 'approved' coatings must be used. If an amateur-built experimental registered in the USA, then I know of no requirement to document the coating used. Charlie

    I have been looking for an app for my Android phone that will allow my wife to follow my flights or back woods trail rides on her computer. Vince said there was a post on the list about that, but I cannot seem to come up with the right search query to find it. Is anybody using one of these that you would recommend?

Well the Gov can track you on your phone, not sure how or for that matter if I would like the general public to do so. :-) I of course use a "Spot" http://www.findmespot.com/en/index.php?cid=111 to enable my wife to be able to find my body, if worse comes to worse. It sends a link to any computer that you specify. Worth the money to me. However this may be what you are looking for- http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/gps-enabled-smartphone-tracking-device/ Larry > > -- *If you forward this email, or any part of it, please remove my email address before sending.*

    I use FollowMee on my Windows phone. I suspect it is available to Apple and Android users too. Once set up, you create an account and can put a password on it. Then only those that have your password can track you. It is all automatic, but you can stop the tracking function anytime. I got this for my wife to use when I go flying. One thing we have noticed is it is not always "real time". That is to say that sometimes the locations on the web site are a little behind. You generally get what you pay for, and this is a free app with an option to upgrade for more features. It does what I need and I don't anticipate upgrading. Not as useful as a SPOT, but much cheaper, like me.

    Hello Kolb Folks, Here are two picture of a tail light on a Kolb rudder. This is an untested design and I cannot recommend this application at this time. I talked to a couple of builder who had unsatisfactory experience with their designs, so using that advise I tried to do something different, that hopefully will not adversely affect the performance of the rudder. Please share your thoughts! Some may wonder why I even want a tail light. Alaska has a lot of twilight in the summer. Many time I have spotted aircraft ahead of us, in the late evening, that had all kind of other safe lighting, but the first thing that shows up in the distance is just the little tail light. Thanks for your thoughts, Nick Cassara Palmer, Alaska Kolbra N607AK

    Kolbs are very difficult to see when approaching from the rear, as well as most aircraft, but Kolbs can disappear until just before impact.

    My son thinks Google has an app so parents can track their kids. I use a ham radio tracker, but you have to get a ham license. Once you buy the hardware it is free. It works similar to the spot tracker but is ground based not satellite. Try entering phone tracker....lost phone finder.... call your phone provider...

    Subject: Re: : Kolb-List:
    Is that just a white light, or a strobe? Something that flashes will be much more likely to catch the eye than a steady light. I would suspect that faster, heavier planes would be more likely to descend into something like a Kolb, than to climb into one. (If they are climbing, they likely saw you take off in front of them & will be watching for you, but in a descent to landing, they will be focused on the runway.) Will the light be visible from above/behind?

    After lunch today I installed Glympse. It is pretty simple to use; you send an email to whoever you want to see your track, and then tell your phone how long you want it to broadcast, max time is 4 hours & 15 minutes, and nobody sees it but the person/people you invite. It updates several times a minute, or you can set it for low battery usage and broadcast less often. I went for max coverage to see how the battery would do. All the motorcycles needed running, and it was about 57 degrees today, so I put the phone in my pocket and went riding. The wife could watch my track real time on her PC. Also, the tracks persisted on her PC even after I got done and exited the program. I sent myself a track request about 4PM and let it run the full 4 hours just to hammer the batttery, for a total of about 6 + hours use today, battery in the phone is down about 50%, so I think I'll spend $20 and get an external battery pack to carry with me, something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxkNtiRvMQc The Glympse website is http://www.glympse.com/what-is-glympse I will be checking this out over the winter, worth what ya paid for it, thanks for the comments, and Happy New Year. -------- Richard Pike Kolb MKIII N420P (420ldPoops) Kingsport, TN 3TN0 My soul shall be joyful in the LORD; It shall rejoice in His salvation.
