Hey Guys,
Travis (at) The New Kolb sent me a couple of sheets of the
polycarbonate windshield material and it arrived yesterday. For those of
you that were thinking about replacing your "glass" (ws, doors, gap seal,
etc) nows a good time. I had searched extensively for "Lexan" and found it
significantly more expensive than his price. Besides, we have to keep up
our occasional airplane parts purchases. Lestwise we having nothing to
install on our favorite toy!
On a side note. Afew weeks back someone was having serious
trouble with the right turn on a MkIII. Something about the flying
controls.....easy to turn left, but incredibly difficult to turn right. I
don't recall seeing a post resolving the problem.
Whoever that was, did you get things squared away?? How about an
update?

Thanks, Steve. This was quite an endeavor, building the pool, shop and 65
yds of concrete. I did almost every sq. inch of everything. (This is the
kind of stuff I did for a living.) $85K change to this house in 5 months.
When it is done I will no longer do construction anymore. Too old for this
kind of crud! That's why I built the improvements I did. Airplane shop
for me. Pool for the wife. (Although I have been known to swim, too.)
In a few days, I will be able to resume building the MkIII. Yay!!!!
It has been a few years, but the time has come to get 'er flying.
P.S. On a different subject, I flew my 172 over to the Hurricane airport
a couple of weeks ago, and lo & behold!! There was a MkIII sitting outside
of a hangar. Piqued my interest, so I walked over and introduced myself,
and met the pilot. It turns out this is the very same MkIII that many of
you were discussing a few months back regarding an accident that made the
headlines.
I asked him about the accident and he really downplayed it. He it was
nothing much, only a bent landing gear leg. From the looks of the rest of
the plane, I would tend to agree with him. The rest of the plane looked
just fine, and didn't show any signs of major repairs. Could be an another
example of News Reporting sensationalism!! Like "Kolb airplane crashes,
hundreds injured, dozens killed, sparks 5 wildfires, and 3 apartment fires.
Global warming sure to increase now. Film at 11:00"
