I imagine it was the standard white nylon gap seal that came with the FS kits at the time. You are referring to the "center section" I am assuming. john h mkIII Titus, Alabama -----Original Message----- From: owner-kolb-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-kolb-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Richard Pike Sent: Wednesday, March 06, 2019 8:20 PM Subject: Kolb-List: Re: More Kolb History John, did that airplane have a normal gap seal?

I don't think it will be repeated. As I look back 35 years ago, this month, when I bought my first Kolb kit, every day was a new day of building, modifying, experimenting, and making mistakes. The cross country flights were virgin territory everywhere I went. Most important the lasting friendships from people I met along the way. Most of the people I know, I met through these little airplanes. I have one more adventure to get under my belt before I settle down. Next month I turn 80. I plan to celebrate my 80th year by cruising the Great Loop https://www.greatloop.org/ . It is an approximately 6,000 mile route along the waterways of the Tombigbee and Mobile Rivers, Gulf of Mexico, the Atlantic Coast, Hudson River, Erie Canal, Lakes Erie, Huron, and Michigan, the Illinois, Mississippi, Ohio, and Tennessee Rivers, and finally the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway back to Demopolis, Alabama, where I plan to start my trip. I'm also going to try to visit Fort Hamilton, where John Wilkes Booth was imprisoned, on the Dry Tortugas, 75 miles out of Key West, Florida, while I am in that area. Entire cruise should take about 2 to 3 months depending on the situation. I do not have a schedule to follow or dead lines to meet. I may make this an annual affair until I get too old to enjoy. ;-) Then I should have time to get started on the Memories of a Retired Army Aviator. In fact, writing would be a good pass time for the days, maybe weeks, of getting weathered in with nothing to do but polish Grumpy, my 25 foot Rosborough RF-246. Should have plenty time. I don't plan on doing too much polishing on Grumpy. To keep this Kolb oriented, I plan on meeting Marcus Kolb when I am in the Philadelphia, PA, area. I have a lot of Army and airplane friends that live along this route that I plan to visit. john h mkIII Titus, Alabama From: owner-kolb-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-kolb-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of JC Gilpin Sent: Thursday, March 07, 2019 2:00 AM Subject: Kolb-List: More Kolb History This story just reminds us that we are still waiting for JH's history of his adventures with Kolb.
