    Subject: Painting trim
    Herb, To run a long straight line, try using some dental floss. Tape it down securely at one end and then pull it tight and tape it on the other end. Or depending on where it is you may be able to just hang a weight on it to keep it tight. Now go along the line every few inches and make a real light pencil mark. Now you have a guide and only have to tape from mark to mark. Try lightly sticking down only the edge you are trying to create that way it is easy to pick up and reposition if needed. I have watched guys who are pros stick down one end and then pull the tape all the way to the other end. Hold it straight and then lay it down and it was perfect. Since I couldn=99t duplicate their skills, I had to find a way to cheat! There is nothing that says it has to be all one piece of tape either. Work in short(er) sections if that helps you out.

    From: Denny Baber <baberdk@gmail.com>
    A friend of mine is a painter and he told me that if after you put the tape on, spray the edge with hair spray, or paint the tape with the color underneath the tape. Either one makes a really nice line when the tape is removed. Respectfully, Dennis Baber (305) 814-7218 baberdk@gmail.com "I can't stand intolerance !!"

    From: Larry Cottrell <lcottrell1020@gmail.com>
    I have been known to be rude to Jehovah Witnesses, but they were pushy. I also have never felt the need to have a tag line other than "Do not archive", but I am having a hard time understanding why Richards tag line bothers you all to the point that you have to berate him for it. For crying out loud, don't read the damn thing if it bothers you that much. You can even go so far as to block his messages to your email, but I have found him to be helpful. Go do something worth while, wash your plane or something. enough for crying out loud, Larry On Fri, Aug 21, 2015 at 5:51 PM, Tim Hrib <tim_hrib@hotmail.com> wrote: > may an Atheist reply? > I find all religion to be nothing > more than fairy tale. my concern here is - what does anyone's religious > beliefs haave to do with Kolb ultralights? ...

    Subject: Re: Procedure police
    From: Brad Nation <nationcap@comcast.net>
    Perhaps my previous post on a couple of back seat rides has inspired some of the recent posts concerning Kolb relatedness. Please allow me to correct my post. Bla bla bla bla back seat ride in non Kolb aircraft bla bla bla. Bla bla bla bla another back seat ride in another non Kolb aircraft bla bla bla. Even though both of these aircraft were not Kolb aircraft I had a great time and I still enjoy flying, riding in, and reading about Kolb airplanes and I am sure my dad (who was the pilot of the B-57) would love flying a Kolb as well. Now the corrected post is a Kolb post as Kolb is mentioned not just once but five times. Thank you very much. Make it a great day. Reduce your stress, go fly.

Surprisingly there are some listers who are not enthused by the never ending discussion of adding primer bulbs and pumps to an engine which works perfectly well straight from the makers without them. Fine if that is what turns you on. But there are others who would like to talk about flying occasionally. See how popular the flying videos are. People have adventures, mischances, experiences which are not only interesting but often instructive of the `I learned about flying from that` genre. Your own stories of your Xcountries are fascinating if a little too short. When I was dithering about my proposed Spitfire flight several listers posted urging me to go for it and TELL THE LIST ABOUT IT AFTERWARDS. A few yarns about something other than how to straighten gear legs will not signal the end of the list as we know it. It will be a short diversion and then we shall be back to the usual fare. No one wishes to change the basic format of the list, it has survived and proved itself, but it would be interesting to hear other listers flying experiences sometimes. > Cheers > > Pat > -----Original Message----- From: John Hauck > Sent: Wednesday, August 19, 2015 4:19 AM > To: kolb-list@matronics.com > Subject: RE: Kolb-List: Re: legs > > > I'm certainly not the "procedure police", but I am and have > been a member of the Kolb Builder and Flyers List for many > years. > > I speak for myself and no one else. > > The best way to kill a good Kolb List is to ignore the > posted guidelines, turning a List for serious builders and > flyers of Kolb aircraft into a chat room.
