just got to add my two cents in here.  What a bunch of 'chicken littles'.  I 

cant believe it.  we have a whole bunch of newbies to the Kolbs and you guys 

are scaring the hell out of them.  These Kolbs are probably one of the best 

designed, best built - even by newbies - than anything out there.  The cages 

alone are worth the trouble.  My friend's life was saved by them.  Worry 

this, worry that, change this, change that.  Poooh.  Keep it simple, fly the 

darned thing.  How do some of you guys even get out of bed in the morning? 

I fly solo most of the time and it is bad enough to worry about LZs and get 

over the "I'm gonna die" thinking without you guys poluting the air waves 

and minds of fine people unnecessarily.  I need to remind you that some of 

these guys been building theirs for years and have NEVER even flown one!! 

Take the info for what it is worth and listen to the ones who KNOW what is 

going on.  Hawk and the others.  I, for one, have a thousand or more hours 

on Kolbs and you know what -- I NEVER worry about frame problems cause I 

preflight, annual and check what I can.  The rest is up to God.  Have fun, 

forget the worries, and fly the darned thing.  The sky is NOT falling.  Ted 

Cowan, Alabama.  p.s. I have built and/or rebuilt 8 kolbs and lots of other 

types

Ted, you read my heart. I am one of the new guys. And I have to tell you, at

times "ignorance is bliss"! Now with that said, I have to add that we don't

have the lux. To pull of the side of the road if something happens. But then

I knew a health nut that was a major international runner. He died walking

across the street.Wasn't hit , just fell dead, heart exploded. I wanna have

fun and enjoy life as much as possible. I leave the major projects to God

and I handle the little ones; taking out the trash, fixing dinner, mowing

the lawn, preflight checks, etc. Speaking about mowing, you know that an

unbalanced mower blade traveling at 1,200 fpm circumferentially could come

loose and kill your neighbor. 



Now how many of you are going to quit mowing your lawn? How many of you

would love to fly rather than mow their lawn? How many of you would love to

have your lawns mowed by someone else why they fly over their lawn /landing

strip?



Someone in the beginning of the Kolb site early pages said something to the

tune of: if you have a fear of flying to that degree (forget the reason of

that response), then maybe something is telling you not to fly. A man could

very easily decide after reading the Kolb web site from beginning to date

that perhaps flying IS DANGERIOUS. I'll take my chances as long as I look at

the dangers from a practical standpoint. When I purchased my Firestar one of

the first things a did was read everything I could get my hands on and take

every woird as gospel. Over the last eight months I have learned that there

are voices that speak from advice and voices that speak from fear. I read

and listen mostly to the voices of advice, and test them often. Usually they

have proven themselves to be true.

People die everyday on the highways around the country. After learning about one on the news, we still get in our cars and drive without fear which means that fear is a mindset.

From Matts list guidelines



"Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your tone 

polite and respectful. Don't make snide comments, personally attack 

other listers, or take the moral high ground on an obviously 

controversial issue. This will only cause a pointless debate that 

will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing"



Below is the type of post that he's referring to.
