225 sm! You can fly that in on leg.
If you miss it, you will be sacrificing some good quality time with other
like minded Kolb folks you won't find any place else.
Don't miss the opportunity of a great get together so close to home.
There will be some of the original Monument Valley gang that have been to
every Unplanned/Unorganized Kolb Flyin, MV, UT, since the first one in 2003.
Again this year, we will miss several of our original gang that have gone on
the that big Kolb Flyin in the sky.
Looking forward to seeing Tom and Betty Kuffel again. They flew in for the
2003 flyin, were planning on returning in 2004, and also flying with me to
Alaska that same year. A little incident broke their Prospector
experimental, grounding them for a while. I think they will have their new
experimental flying soon.

Well I'm hoping I'll get my problem resolved by then. As-is, I'm not yet convinced I have a safe situation for a long flight so I need to get it fixed first.
Just FYI, I have a prop harmonic that I'm still researching, a hard buzz in the seat and a rotating low frequency hum. Last night I finally figured out it wasn't acceptable - I hadn't flown for an extended period of time until last night so didn't think it was a problem until I spent some time in the plane with it. I was ready to land after a little more than half an hour.
I'm as close to convinced as I can be that it's NOT the fault of the prop or the plane, but simply the two together. But a hard vibration isn't something I want to let go unaddressed......
Next thing I'm going to do is take it off and check the balance just to be sure, but an unbalanced WD right out of the factory is just not something I think the guys at WD would allow to happen.
So I'll be a test pilot for a little while longer looks like......

Make sure all three blades have as near pitch as possible. Usually, this
will be the primary reason for a vibration or harmonic in the airframe.
I believe the prop has a life time customer satisfaction guarantee. Work
with Daryl at WD.
I'm waiting on new blades for my prop. Hope they get here before time to
fly to Lakeland.

> I may have a go with the 4" extension which is what the IVO had on it.
It's probably unlikely an inch would make a difference but it might. I'm
calling daryl here in a bit to talk it over with him.
I have had good luck with a 4" extension on the mkIII.

Dale said the extra inch is almost guaranteed not to make a difference. Going down in diameter is the next idea..... ugh.....
