    Subject: Re: legs
    Oh alright. =C2=A32750, half an hour in the cockpit and about 20 minutes flying time. They charge =C2=A360 to sit in the bloody thing. All depends if I can get my hands on the controls. If i can, I don`t care what it cost. If not I shall be very very cross. Incidentally I think I paid =C2=A31750 for an hour in the Mustang.Took her out from the flightline to the end of the runway.Pilot did the take off,climbed away steeply,I could see the numbers in the rear view mirror, and as she fell off the top of the climb he said `Shes all yours`. he talked me through what was what and we climbed to about 10,000ft and he just left me to chase Germans around the clouds. Did some rolls,loops,figure of eights,wingovers. Dived down to around 500ft and did a strafing run across Florida. We had to CLIMB to enter the pattern.Talked me round the circuit and I did a touch and go (He did the GO part) then talked me round again until we were into the flare and then he put it down and I taxied back to the line. Not bad I suppose when you think that all I had flown were gliders and ultralights plus a couple of joyrides in a T6.

No need to be embarrassed about it, we all probably would if we could.

Good luck. I have taken the plunge and hocked the family jewels and booked myself a flight in a 2 seat Spitfire. I thought that my Mustang flight at Kissimmee many years ago was the most expensive flight I would ever have but this is costing about a third more for half the flying time. With the P51 at least I knew that I was going to do most of the flying. This time it definitely says `you will not be allowed to touch the controls`. I am hoping that the wording is to placate the Board of Trade which licenses the flight and will not be enforced by the pilot once the wheels are up. The flight will be from Biggin Hill which you will probably know was right in the middle of the Battle of Britain so very nostalgic. Just to keep it real a Spitfire lost power on take off and crash landed while taking off at Biggin a few days ago. The pilot sustained a shoulder injury but not serious. I shall pay attention to the safety briefing. I remember watching a Hurricane roll off the end of the runway at Chivenor many moons ago because the pilot had put the pitch lever in the wrong notch. It happens. These Spit flights are obviously popular.Even at this enormous price i can`t get a booking until October Cheers Pat -----Original Message----- From: kinne russ Sent: Thursday, August 06, 2015 6:16 PM To: kolb-list@matronics.com Subject: Kolb-List: legs List - I have a brand-new set of steel gear legs for the Xtra, and I can=99t use them, Still in original box, never been unpacked.

    WHOOPS! It doesn`t matter I suppose.I just hit reply on Russ`s post. I hope to be a bit more than a sandbag as you can see. I think I would probably trade the flight for the chance to fly alongside you in a Kolb from Hauk Holler to Monument Valley though.

    Thanks Boyd, is there any way I could get a reprint of your plans or copy them and send them back to you. I would make it worth your while. I talked with the factory and they say they don't have any plans for the 2004 mk3x. Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=445676#445676

    Boyd- If you are going to copy your plans, make two copies and send on to the factory for their records. I am sure they will appreciate it.

    The flight from hauck's holler to monument valley is priceless! However, pleased that you would want to fly with me for that long. That one takes about 2.5 days. Not necessarily Spitfire or Mustang speeds, but get to log more flight time. ;-) john h JBER - Anchorage, Alaska -----Original Message----- From: owner-kolb-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-kolb-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Patrick Ladd Sent: Friday, August 07, 2015 2:06 AM Subject: Re: Kolb-List: legs WHOOPS!
