Since it is a very slow 2 weeks, and people are concerned - rightly - about the
change over to Windows 10, and I am bored (And it is sleeting with freezing
rain outside)... Non Kolb topic follows:
I went to Windows 10 last spring from Windows 7, it worked great for several months,
then went into endless boot mode. The wife's computer (Win 10) soon followed
suit. Neither could be made to boot or behave.
Here is how I retrieved all the data: (both the wife & I are using desktops with
room for several hard drives) went to Best Buy and purchased a new hard drive
for each 'puter, be sure that the drive you buy is at least as big or bigger
than your current drive, this will be important later. Make this new drive your
C: drive. Loaded the new drives for each 'puter with their respective copies
of Windows 7. Now I could retrieve all our files: boot into Win7, access the
wonky Win10 drive which is still plugged into your motherboard, but is no longer
C:, copy all your files and pictures back into your fresh copy of 7 on C:.
Now you have recovered all your stuff, your are back on good ol' stable Windows
7, and you have a spare hard drive in your computer with a dud copy of Windows
10 on it. Leave it there: you will be using it soon.
Two weeks ago Microsoft announced that it will soon be including Windows 10 as a mandatory download/patch to Windows 7 & 8, so here are the precautions I took: Bought a new hard drive for each computer, same size as the one I bought this summer, cloned Win 7 from C: to it. This is easy to do with a free downloaded program called Macrium Reflect. http://www.macrium.com/reflectfree.aspx
Now I have 2 identical hard drives with bootable copies of Win 7 on each computer,
bootable being the important word. If you now download Windows 10 to your
C: drive, and it fails, you still have a fully functional identical hard drive
with 7 or 8 on it off to the side. Plus you still have your old hard drive in
there with your wonky copy of Win 10 on it - we are now about to put that one
to use.
With 2 fully functional hard drives with copies of Win 7 available, you now are
safe, so go ahead and download and install Windows 10 on the C: drive over the
top of Windows 7. Now you have a functional (for the time being) copy of Win
10 on C:, and another functional hard drive with Win 7 sitting idle off to the
side. If you want to guarantee that it cannot get a virus, or get nuked if your
neighborhood gets hit by lightning, you can always unplug it from the motherboard.
Windows 10 has (IMO) all sorts of goofy stuff all over it, so I downloaded and installed Classic Shell; http://www.classicshell.net/
Now Win 10 looks and superficially functions like a cross between Windows 7 and
Windows XP. Very user friendly, all you have done is put Windows 10 into a different
skin while keeping all the serious grunt of Windows 10. And in spite of
it's flaws, Windows 10 does have some serious grunt. Until it goes wonky...
Now fire up Macrium Reflect and clone your newly tweaked C: copy of Windows 10
to your third (new) hard drive. You now have back ups for any eventuality. If
Windows 10 on your C: drive fails, you can swap it out with either of your back
ups, and you have lost nothing but maybe the last few days of work or pictures.
(I have a schedule where I reclone the C: drive to my 10 clone (L) drive
every week. Macrium Reflect will do this)
I included a screen shot of the drives in my computer so you can see how they are
named. I strongly recommend you do this: right click and rename the various
hard drives before you start to clone them, or sure as sin, you'll clone a blank
drive over a good one, and lose everything. MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE
DOING. A mistake here is fatal.
Maybe this sounds like a lot of trouble, but I have 25 years worth of pictures,
sermons and family history documents on my 'puter, and $120 for a couple of spare
hard drives is cheap compared to trying to get all that stuff back if/when
Microsoft's latest crapware fails on me. Especially since I have already learned
the hard way that it is easier to spend a couple hours backing your computer
up than spending a week recovering it after it crashes.
PS: If you like poking around in your computer, all this stuff will be obvious.
If you have never poked around inside your computer and these instructions are
not completely obvious to you, this is not a good place to start. The learning
curve will leave you with an erased and non-functioning computer. Go away and
pretend you never read any of this.

Thanks for writing up the process, but I have a question.
Where did you see that Win10 is going to be a *mandatory* update to 7? I
don't want to boot my -7 computers one day & discover that they've been
converted to tablets. (I'd consider 10 a 'mandatory' update for 8, just
to have a functional computer....)
Thanks,
Charlie

I have likely said this before... and I agree with Bro Pike....just a
different view....
there are several ways to rid oneself of the nuisance that is/can be
Microsoft... Setting up Linux Mint 17.3 in a dual boot environment is
one way... Presumably windows will never kill your Linux partition..??
Then again...win 10 may prohibit dual boot hard drives? Nothing wrong
with win XP either... For most of the things we do with computers....it
is fine... If you email and browse...then just about anything that can
run Firefox and Mozilla Thunderbird email is fine... Tons of programs
out there for photo manipulation and video viewing... Internet speed is
very slow compared to the speed of the processor that is inside the
PC.. so that should never be an issue...for the average user...
The other thing I am hearing is that win 10 is a bit nosey and seems
to collect more user data... never a good thing!! Billions of dollars
to be made in user data...habits...etc...witness google...and Microsoft
has not failed to notice..
Never keep valuables on you computer...buy the 60 buck , 1 terra
byte usb drive(wal mart) and drag and drop or copy and past your
goodies to it... All of these , advertised, online storage places are a
rip!! Full hard drive back up software usually comes pre loaded..if
that is your need..
Linux Mint has 17,000+ free soft ware packages...that are easy to
download and install...just find the package that you want...and click
install...thats it!!
http://www.linuxmint.com/
and to top it off...there is a program , called Wine, which allows
one(as opposed to "you" ) :-) to run windows programs ... I use it to
run my favored, Genealogy program...
On the Kolb side...selling has been slow... very little interest in
my Firefly...no one is buying boats either...have a barn full of
those...nor cars...have several of those for sale... Herb in Ky, no
pillow over my head!!

Good advice from bother Herb, sorry his FFC has;t sold yet.
Use a separate HD to store backups etc. Much safer
Sorry to hear of the troubles with Windows, but thats nothing new.

with room for several hard drives) went to Best Buy and purchased a new hard drive
for each 'puter, be sure that the drive you buy is at least as big or bigger
than your current drive, this will be important later. Make this new drive
your C: drive. Loaded the new drives for each 'puter with their respective copies
of Windows 7. Now I could retrieve all our files: boot into Win7, access
the wonky Win10 drive which is still plugged into your motherboard, but is no
longer C:, copy all your files and pictures back into your fresh copy of 7 on
C:. Now you have recovered all your stuff, your are back on good ol' stable Windows
7, and you have a spare hard drive in your computer with a dud copy of Windows
10 on it. Leave it there: you will be using it soon.
>>
>> Two weeks ago Microsoft announced that it will soon be including Windows 10 as a mandatory download/patch to Windows 7 & 8, so here are the precautions I took: Bought a new hard drive for each computer, same size as the one I bought this summer, cloned Win 7 from C: to it. This is easy to do with a free downloaded program called Macrium Reflect. http://www.macrium.com/reflectfree.aspx
>> Now I have 2 identical hard drives with bootable copies of Win 7 on each computer,
bootable being the important word. If you now download Windows 10 to your
C: drive, and it fails, you still have a fully functional identical hard drive
with 7 or 8 on it off to the side. Plus you still have your old hard drive
in there with your wonky copy of Win 10 on it - we are now about to put that
one to use.
>>
>> With 2 fully functional hard drives with copies of Win 7 available, you now
are safe, so go ahead and download and install Windows 10 on the C: drive over
the top of Windows 7. Now you have a functional (for the time being) copy of
Win 10 on C:, and another functional hard drive with Win 7 sitting idle off to
the side. If you want to guarantee that it cannot get a virus, or get nuked if
your neighborhood gets hit by lightning, you can always unplug it from the motherboard.
>>
>> Windows 10 has (IMO) all sorts of goofy stuff all over it, so I downloaded and installed Classic Shell; http://www.classicshell.net/
>> Now Win 10 looks and superficially functions like a cross between Windows 7
and Windows XP. Very user friendly, all you have done is put Windows 10 into a
different skin while keeping all the serious grunt of Windows 10. And in spite
of it's flaws, Windows 10 does have some serious grunt. Until it goes wonky...
>>
>> Now fire up Macrium Reflect and clone your newly tweaked C: copy of Windows
10 to your third (new) hard drive. You now have back ups for any eventuality.
If Windows 10 on your C: drive fails, you can swap it out with either of your
back ups, and you have lost nothing but maybe the last few days of work or pictures.
(I have a schedule where I reclone the C: drive to my 10 clone (L) drive
every week. Macrium Reflect will do this)
>>
>> I included a screen shot of the drives in my computer so you can see how they
are named. I strongly recommend you do this: right click and rename the various
hard drives before you start to clone them, or sure as sin, you'll clone
a blank drive over a good one, and lose everything. MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU
ARE DOING. A mistake here is fatal.
>>
>> Maybe this sounds like a lot of trouble, but I have 25 years worth of pictures,
sermons and family history documents on my 'puter, and $120 for a couple of
spare hard drives is cheap compared to trying to get all that stuff back if/when
Microsoft's latest crapware fails on me. Especially since I have already
learned the hard way that it is easier to spend a couple hours backing your computer
up than spending a week recovering it after it crashes.
>>
>> PS: If you like poking around in your computer, all this stuff will be obvious.
If you have never poked around inside your computer and these instructions
are not completely obvious to you, this is not a good place to start. The learning
curve will leave you with an erased and non-functioning computer. Go away
and pretend you never read any of this.

greybaron,
Glad you included this comment at the end of your explanation, since I
don't know much about computers. I do have windows 10 which so far has been
working ok for me.

Stuff like this:
http://www.pcworld.com/article/2993381/windows/windows-10-upgrades-reportedly-appearing-as-mandatory-for-some-users.html
http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/10/15/windows-10-upgrade-has-become-mandatory-for-some-users
http://betanews.com/2016/02/01/microsoft-makes-windows-10-a-recommended-update-for-windows-7-and-8-1-users/
So yes, you can hold it at bay, but MS is pushing it hard. Depending on your settings,
you may get surprised.

| Subject: | Re: 582 Radiator Advice |
Here is what Rotax recommends according to CPS: https://www.cps-parts.com/catalog/rtxpages/cps15-04302.php?clickkey=1517555
Note the dimensions: 11" X 11" x 1.25". That is the one thing you need to know,
other than that CPS gets $425 for it and the plumbing fittings come out at inconvenient
places; the top one points down and the bottom one is on the wrong
side. If you mount it on the back of your cage, it is helpful if both plumbing
fittings come out facing aft, (and up, or at least not down) with the one by
the right wing at the top of the radiator, and the one by the left wing at the
bottom of the radiator. That makes plumbing it up so much easier.
Now you can go to your friendly local motorcycle salvage yard and see if they have
a good clean radiator that is at least 11" x 11" x 1.5" that has the plumbing
coming out at convenient places and they want a fair price for it.
Or you can go to ebay and get something like this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Motorcycle-Replacement-Aluminum-Radiator-Cooler-Cooling-For-BENELLI-TREK-899-New-/141419647261?hash=item20ed44911d:g:X-gAAOSwRLZUErZ0&vxp=mtr
It looks like it might fit, the plumbing is in the right place, and it looks big
enough. Your call. But this is the general idea.

Well, I never let MS update anything (or even download) automatically,
so I'm reasonably confident I can hold them off. I won't be surprised to
see MS get embroiled in some major lawsuits if they continue down this
path.

May I ask what video app did you use to film your short field landings work with
