Kolb Friends -



Here's a short video I discovered recently.

This is what was happening the week before our 5th annual Kolb Gathering

at Monument Valley, last year.

It is also the reason why the Goulding's runway got new pavement, and

why they painted "RB" on the approach end of runway 35.  (Instead of

"35.")

MV, UT25, is 16/34.



I didn't pay much attention to the RB painted on the runway so can not 

remember if it was on 16 or 34, or both.



I mention this only for clarification.  If I don't I am apt to remember the 

last thing I saw written on the MV runway and think it is 17/35.

The information about the runway numbering I took out of the " Utah State

Airport Directory"   published by 'Utah State'  "Division of Aeronautical

Operations"   it is clearly marked 16/34.   crossed checked airnav.com to

confirm.

Boyd Y:



Two more days and a "wake up" and I am on my way to check out the runway 

headings for myself.



This will be the first chance to get some good fuel burn numbers since I 

raised the fuel needles a notch and repitched the Warp Drive Prop.



I am sitting on the fence, whether to put the needles back in their stock 

position, middle slot, to see if it will run ok, or leave them on the rich 

side.  The reason I raised them was lean condition in stock position last 

winter, discovered when making mag check at 4000 rpm.  One side would drop 

beyond limits.  When I pulled on the enricher at 4000, rpm would increase 

200 to 300.  Primary concern is excessive fuel burn.  However, the 912ULS is 

running like a clock.  I am happy with the performance.  I think I will 

leave it alone, get a good fuel burn check on the flight to MV, then make a 

decision on what to do.  Another factor to change is the altitudes we will 

be working in once in West Texas and beyond.



100LL is 4.24 a gal at Wetumpka Airport, a few cents more than 93 oct laced 

with 10% alcohol.  I have decided not to try and save a few dollars burning 

alcohol and top off at the airport on the way out of town next Tue morning.



I'll carry three qts of Marvel Mystery Oil to help purge some of the lead. 

That's enough for 240 to 300 gals, which about what I will burn this trip.

<< MV, UT25, is 16/34. >>



All -



Hauck and Boyd are correct, regarding runway orientation at Monument

Valley.

My bad for calling it "35" earlier.  

Glad to hear they finally put real numbers on the runway this year, to

replace the "RB" that was painted there last year.



After all, I'd hate to be responsible for someone landing there, aiming

for a runway heading of 35, and end up with them pointed diagonally on

the runway like that Drifter last year that almost mowed down our Rich

Neilsen.  Such excitement!



(So far, that's been one of my favorite MV photos submitted for John W's

photo contest.)
