Kolb Listers:
Who would have ever thought we would be looking forward to MV 2010, as we
made our way to the first one, MV 2003.
We have all been so fortunate to have been able to enjoy MV every year since
2003. I remember one post by a long forgotten member of the Kolb List who
referred to the MV attendees as, "the MV clique". He could never have been
so far wrong in his observation. I can assure you, those of us that made
the first one, those of us that have made every one since then, and those
that have attended only one MV flyin, there is a special bond among us.
Something special. If that is a clique, so be it.
Most of the folks that make the MV flyin, I would never have had the
opportunity to meet otherwise. All these Kolb people are special to me.
Where else can one go, spend the weekend, enjoy one of the most beautiful
places in the world, spend quality time with people you met on the Kolb
List, live, talk, and breath, Kolb airplanes.
We have no duties, responsibilities, dues or fees. Only plans are to set
the date, and that has been done:
21-23 May 2010.
Everyone is welcome to our flyin no matter what you fly, if you fly, have an
airplane or not, only have the desire, or how you arrive.
Three months from today is the day.

John, Kolb List;
As usual, I won't be flying there this year, just can't take off the required time from work and have a job when I get back.
Flying to the Annual Unplanned/Unorganized MV Kolb Fly-in is something I one day hope to mark off my list, and if the rest of those who pull it off are similar to the five people I have met who have done it, I would be in good company. I would have full confidence in my Firestar making the trip.
On another note, I got to fly a couple of hours Saturday, & took a quick video. I get kinda bored watching flight videos after much more than a minute or two, so I edited this one down to about that range.
The air was very smooth above 1500'. There was a stout ESE wind blowing, but zero thermal activity. I'm burning straight avgas, and if you notice the EGT's are around 1275, CHT's around 310. When I burn premium auto gas, my EGT's run 60-70 degrees higher, CHT's only slightly higher. It was great to get up, looking forward to more spring-time flying.

Jimmy,
What is your altitude? What size jets are you running? I am asking because with the stock jets at 4000 feet my EGT's never got any higher than 1150. I put in the HAC from Jerry O and that raised my EGT's to 1200 or so even when it is shut off. I am wondering because I may not be able to operate at sea level with this set up. A main jet change may be necessary. Better to know now than when I get there.

John -I couldn't agree with you more. I've been to two of the MV fly-ins, and both times they were unparalleled experiences - not just the glorious flying, but the glorious people. Friendly, helpful, just great to be around. I don't fly a Kolb, yet no one cared at all. I'm really looking forward to being there in 3 months.

Wish it wasn't so far away. Beautiful area though. Was there in 99 on my motorcycle.

Kolb List,
I said: | Quote: | | I would have full confidence in my Firestar making the trip. |
It's easy to recognize BS when it goes to print. I need to retract that statement as I was momentarily suffering from keyboard flying. Though I am sure the Firestar is capable, I am no more qualified to fly out west in high terrain than the man in the moon. The highest ground I've ever flown over isn't more than 300' agl. I would, however, like to have the opportunity to give it a try one year.

Jimmy Y/Gang:
No doubt in my mind Jimmy can fly to MV and back to Texas in his HKS powered
FS. He has already demonstrated he has what it takes to make long,
multi-day cross country flights in the FS when it was powered with the
Generac.
Frank Goodnight and Larry Cottrell have demonstrated to me the capabilities
of the HKS/FS at higher altitudes. Frank flew out of MV at 5200 feet MSL,
and Larry lives and flies out of his airstrip in the high country of SE
Oregon. Neither Frank nor Larry could be categorized as lightweights.
I admire those on the List that have the time, money, and guts, to load
their Kolbs with their camping gear, take off, point the nose towards their
destinations, sometimes days away, and experience the thrill and adventure
of living with and flying a little Kolb airplane.
Wil Uribe and Dave Rains, of El Paso, TX, have done some pretty impressive
multi-day cross country flights in their FS's.
I respect these Kolb adventurers.
