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.

I like the West so much I have been going there every y ear since 2003, sometimes twice a year. I missed the Kolb Unplanned/Unorgan ized Flyin Monument Valley, UT, in 2010, but made it to the Rock House 3 mon ths after I had a nasty accident on my mountain bike. I still like my home b ase at hauck's holler, Alabama, but thoroughly enjoy exploring the West. No t the populated areas, but the remote back country. > > Still tossing around what to do this year for the Rock House Kolb Flyin. Fly or pull the 5th wheel???

She was nice and clean the first of April, with b rand new John Gilpin STOL Speed Vortex Generators installed. She flew great despite the load of barn dust, bug and bird crap. I got an hour flight tim e. Shot a bunch of landings at my short strip and at the longer grass strip 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 s landings despite my efforts to screw them up. I need to fly more to get b ack in the groove and really learn about the STOL Speed VGs. > > Keep the photos and vids coming Larry C. I enjoy them. They bring back m emories of the last 12 years me and my buddies have been flying in your neck of the woods. After flying out of Gantt International Airport for the last 33 years, looking at the top of pine trees and flat ground gets boring. No t at the Rock House though. There's always somewhere to go to see something 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. > > john h > mkIII > Titus, Alabama > > > > > From: owner-kolb-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-kolb-list-server@ matronics.com] On Behalf Of Wayne Schneider > Sent: Thursday, July 06, 2017 7:51 AM > To: kolb-list@matronics.com > Subject: RE: Kolb-List: Pictures > > I find the video inspiring.

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.

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 Sent from my iPad > On Jul 8, 2017, at 7:41 AM, Richard Pike wrote: > > > Lanny; where in Virginia are you at?

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.

Pull-start wimp? 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.

Pull-start wimp? 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.
