Gee, it's awful quiet here on the List with all the kids in Florida on spring break. I think I'm getting empty nest syndrome. I hope they don't party too much. I'm short of bail money.

Hah!  'Twas a BEAUTIFUL night to fly in East Haddam, CT!  And fly I did, 

round and round the pattern 'til sunset, enjoying the pleasure of flying 

without gloves for the first time this year, and of seeing my 20 year rusty 

skills slowly returning...

John is the kid with the most experience. Juggling both bottles and blondes, with the Kolb in his lap. I've seen pics of spring break.

For those of us left behind, the TNK web site says they will be gone until the 16th. or so. There are still some experienced people (not me) around the List to answer questions.

I was glad to be home in PA as this was the first  evening with good temps and light winds. I took up my Druine Turbulent for the  first time, flys great but i got to work on the landings.  This is kolb  related because I sure do miss my Ultrastar, but should have time to get the  engine overhauled soon.

Lonesome Bill, why would you bail them out.  Couldn't you use a nice

peaceful vacation?

 Hi Dan,

 I have always like the look of the Turbulent,  pretty little plane but out of my reach as I only have a microlight licence. The  Tiger Club used to do a demonstration at Farnborough in the old days.They used  about 6 Turbies, all painted in different bright clours.  They would throw  rolls of lavatory paper out of the cockpit and then try to cut the streamer with  their wings. They were pretty nifty and twisted and turned like minnows as they  chased the paper to the ground.

 Ithink they were fitted with VW engines and always  struck me as a bit underpowered.  

 Cheers

  

 Pat

Thanks for the response Pat. The original Turbs had  a 1200 cc VW, mine has been upgraded to a 1600 cc. It cruises at 80 mph at 2600  rpm and seems to climb well. My hope is to eventually have a Mark III or  Firestar II with a VW engine. The Turbulent should give me the experience with  the engine to make better decisions. When I get more flight time I will give you  an update on performance and reliability.

 Dan,

 

 The gang was up at Keller's Bros. Airport last night, wish I knew you were up also.  Would have been great to fly with you again.  Sounds like the Turbulent is serving you well while you wait to get the Ultrastar engine overhauled.  Looking forward to seeing you again!
