Pat -----Original Message----- From: Brad Nation Sent: Saturday, August 22, 2015 6:31 AM Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Procedure police 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.

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.

Getting the tape's adhesive off is another matter. The stuff is absolutely tenacious and the solvents that remove it also remove Polytone. If you're thinking of using striping tape on fabric, make sure you really, REALLY like your paint job and have no intention of repainting at some point in the future. If you're unsure keep the striping tape away from glued joints or tapes as you are very likely to weaken or completely destroy their bond while trying to remove the adhesive.
