Thanks.



We are all looking forward to a great little flyin.



Arizona Dave and John Williamson won't be there in body, but I think I can 

count on them being present in spirit.  Both were charter members of a very 

select group of enthusiasts that love to build, fly, and share our 

experiences with Homer Kolb's little airplanes.  We'll also miss Bill 

Herren, who was lucky enough to fulfill his dream of flying his airplane 

over a lot of the lower 48.



I encourage everyone that has a true interest in Kolbs to make the effort to 

join us.  Come as you are: fly, drive, or walk.

Due to a forced auto rotation today, I will not be arriving with my helo, no, no injuries or damage.  



I will be flying in my C175 and will make it available for flights around the monuments, beer runs to Page, flying local Navajo kids etc.  Looking forward to seeing the gang.

Yep!  You're right.  It is a long ways between watering holes.



Course, I never had to walk it.  Hope I don't.



A lot easier in the Kolb.

My ballast took some photos, I will post some. I am writing about it, I have other things going on so it may take a bit of time. I learned some cool things there. I have been a mechanic for a long time. I like airplanes. I was one of the last ones to leave, the place felt empty without the planes but emptier without the people. I have read about landing with a quartering tailwind. Reading is not the same as doing, and not knowing, and then being blown off the runway without understanding. Further the learning by watching someone else wreck his plane, interview the pilot who said it got away from his all of the sudden, then have Milo who saw the incident say he was the victim of a quartering tail wind. Wow, I finally get it!

I like the photo of all the people helping load the plane, and I like the tail booms. Rebeka seems to have a good eye for this picture taking stuff.

I was going to ask for more details but this last pic tells the story.

BB, steel legs on and brakes bled.  Time to tow it up the hill.

Gang, regarding the cause of the "faux paux". with Gary's  plane. I cannot say of course for obvious reasons as to what did cause the  problem, but since I have experienced something similar, I can make a "WAG". One  of the biggest problems with landing in a cross wind with a break away tail  wheel is that it breaks with very little rudder input. If you have a cross wind  and you give it enough rudder to stay on the runway your tail wheel is going to  be loose when you land on the ground. That will allow your plane to ground loop,  which could very likely result in the situation that Gary found himself in. What  I did with mine was to take the bolt or the tail wheel assembly out and hog out  or extend the groove that keeps the wheel slaved to the rudder. With mine, it  will only break loose with maximum rudder input. Keep in mind that your reality  may be a bit different than mine.

 Larry C

 Having fun with all the company.
