Just curious, how many here are thinking of heading to the Peachy Fly-In?

Posted on the Kolb facebook page and got some replies.

Richard, Thanks, I meant to type this information was "not" in my build manual or on the plans. Much appreciated!

Richard,

Thanks for the great info. These diagrams are part of my build manual for plans.
