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. -------- Jim P WAR EAGLE Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=470388#470388 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 04:44:10 PM PST US From: Larry Cottrell Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Show and tell 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.
