Thanks, John. I have talked with Travis several times when they were instal
ling
a MZ202 for a customer. We shared info as I initially installed one on my C
hallenger.
It didn't work out for me-that's a long story-but hope it suited the custome
rs' needs.
I'll give them a call and see what we can work out.
Take care,
Lanny

Fly or pull the 5th wheel??? Want to do both, but the timing just ain't rig

despite the load of barn dust, bug and bird crap. I got an hour flight tim

at Wetumpka Airport, 08A, 11.2 miles away. I enjoy flying with the VGs, af
ter all these years. They make an old rusty pilot look halfway decent on hi

new and exciting. The big plus is getting together with old Kolb friends t
hat met because of Homer Kolb's little airplanes. Had it not been for Homer
, I would have missed out on a big part of the long, exciting life I have en
joyed since retiring in 1980, and my good friends from all over the world.

Greetings Kolbers. I have enjoyed the info and encouragement for many years.
I have come to the conclusions I will not finish my KolbMarkIII Extra project.
I have decided to offer this project a final time.
It has appeared on the barnstormers list a couple of times but I have not wanted
to give it away since I have spent over $20K to buy the kits, build them (poli-stits
up through color coat done on all surfaces) and then buy the zero time
VW 2180 with dual ignition and re-drive, built by Great Plains AViation Supply.
If anyone is seriously interested in buying a project that has 95% of all
that is needed to complete the building process you can contact me by using my
email address, Bgreen@bimi.org.
Thank you.
Bob
Kolb Mark III Extra, N830PB project.

Hey, Richard,
Thanks for the info/offer! I just googled directions and it would be a 4hr
(239 mile) trip for us, as we are in Amherst, Va, about 1/2hr north of Lynchburg.
Not bad at all, with the majority of the trip on I 81.
Betty, my wife, and I are retired and have really over-scheduled our summer
and early fall, so maybe we could arrange something toward the end of Sept.
When you get time, I would appreciate info/pics/ videos of your Kolb and the
flying you do. You can access videos of me and my planes on my YouTube site:
http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyassx3BGAUc-weOBtcMwtQ
Thanks again for the offer, and we shall communicate more soon,
Lanny

Its really been hot and today was supposed to get up to 103 or more. I
still wanted to fly for a while, but need to get it done before the heat
got up too high. I choose the Alvord because I would have a tailwind coming
back. I liked the scenery from the last flight, so I again climbed up to
6000 for the view. The second picture has the only wildlife that I saw on
the whole trip. Its hard to see since I am 1000 feet agl, but there is a
line of "mustangs" just in front of the plane shadow. The rest is just
scenery. Even though there is 11 pictures, none are bigger than 400 k's
I flew for 1.5 hours, burning 4 gallons of fuel. Most of the way I used the
HACman system to lean the fuel, but when I turned towards home, The air
temps at 6500 feet was 77 at 11 AM. I saw that my cht's was running at 320
degrees. I still had 15 degrees to go, but I richened the fuel just to see
how much the temps came down and they dropped 16 degrees when running
normal without leaning. It was heating up rapidly, and I had no inclination
to dodge Dust Devils, so I turned for home.

If you pull a rotax with the plugs out, make sure you have the ignition
primaries grounded. I cranked mine over with the starter and the plugs out,
and in that position, the ignition is in the run position. It shorted my
coils and they were $700.

Ouch. I haven't tried to really spin it hard with the rope (not sure I
could), and now I know not to try. Thanks for the heads-up.
