Since the list is dead and since I am slowly making progress on the project that
I purchased from Rev. Pike back in December, I thought I would post some of
the progress. I have rebuilt the wings and fuselage and now have them under paint.
I fabricated a set of 4130 gear legs and tundra tires. I am in the process
of fabricating a more comfortable seat similar to the one Richard has. I
am trying to decide which way to go on the windshield, short or full. I will
be installing hydraulic brakes and a trim system. Wings are set at 3* dyhedral
and I have a set of fairings for the struts and the gear legs.
Progress is slow but I'm having a blast. Richard gave me a lot of tips on building
this thing that has really been great. Also, I picked up a chute from Ted
in Bama and also a lot of building tips. Trying to decide on the instruments,
EIS or analog. Don't know the advantages of either except for the warning light.
Any comments or suggestion would be welcome. I have learned a ton from this list
and appreciate all the comments, good or bad. Are there any Kolbs in Ohio?
I'm in Zanesville.
Still trying to figure this picture thing out.
Jim in Ohio.

My only comment would concern the wind screen. If you get too short on
the screen and do not wear a helmet. The wind will hit you somewhere
around the chin and if it is a bit cool then you will have problems
with snot getting on your glasses. The streaks tend to distort your
vision a bit. Roger Hankins met me at a place called Paisley in
Eastern Oregon. He had always flown by himself and didn't need or use
a radio, so he had always worn a Motorcycle helmet. I insisted on a
radio, so to counteract the wind effect he had to resort to breaking
the connecting line to some ear plugs and stuffing the plugs up his
nose. I thought he looked quite dashing in his little plane with two
blue strings hanging out of his nose.
The short screen will cost you on speed however. Some where in the
area of 5-7 MPH.
Just an observation

The older I get, the less tolerant I am of those who are intolerant of others.
