> For me, I'm getting the best results (shortest landing) with full flaps
and just a hint of power for elevator authority in the middle of the flare.

Got to be careful when no power available and squeezing it in a tight
spot. Been there, done that, bent the plane!
What the temp there? Heat index 105 here today. I may come visit.

Thanks too much,

A little burst of power is great to help us get our Kolbs to cooperate.
Remember last year at Chinle, AZ, landing in a screaming cross wind on new
asphalt. Just as the mains touched I went to full power, full left rudder,
and full left brake. The shot of full power gave me enough additional
rudder authority to keep from ground looping. Besides, I was about to wet
my pants, the reason for the op stop.
Will be in Macon, Ga, this weekend and first of next week. Lost my oldest
Brother, Allen, last night, to cancer.
Stay in touch and let me know when you will be in Montgomery.

I am sure that it is a lot different from heavy aircraft, and I know one of the innovators of ultralight/light sport designers. I know I will have a lot to learn, and I have already picked up a few pointers on this list. I look forward to flying my kolb, I think that it is going to be a great week end toy to go buzzing around in, but I am still a GA pilot also.

John,
That sounds like a lot of fun, I am looking forward to learning in my firestar, that is if I ever get it to an airport. Hopefully I won't mess up to bad!

Greg:
First time I heard anyone refer to our Kolb aircraft as "weekend toys to go buzzing around in". However, one old Kolber down in South Florida refers to his as the Kleenex Kolb.
What kind of "heavy" aircraft do you fly?
Many of us Kolbers are/were professional pilots in another life, both military and civilian. Yep, we made a living at it. Still hard to believe the Army paid me to fly helicopters that I would have flown for free. Sure beat walking walking though.
Good luck with your new toy.

John,
The heavy bird that I refer to is just a 172, when I can afford it, I have a IFR rating and about 250 hrs. I am the commander of my local Civil Air Patrol Squadron and we are the custodial unit of a 172P. A nice plane for about $70.00 for 1.5 hrs. It sounds like you have had a very interesting career with aviation, have you had any experience with gyrocopters?

Greg:
Curious when you mentioned heavy aircraft experience which is 300,000 lbs max gross takeoff weight and above.
A 172 hardly qualifies as heavy.
I am strictly a VFR single engine land pilot. I fly for pleasure and to get me to wonderful places to visit and spend time with other like minded Kolb people.
I got to be an Army Rotary Wing Aviator late in my Army career.
Most of my aviation experience has been accumulated in the last 26 years of building and flying Homer Kolb's wonderful little airplanes, after retirement.
Looking back, it has been a wonderful experience, meeting and making life long friends with many people all over the US, Canada, Alaska, and other parts of the world.
Never was interested in gyrocopters.

John,
When I was referring to a 172 as heavy I was compareing it to my firestar. I know a local guy hear named Mike Fisher who knew Holmer, you may recognize the name Fisher. He said he has had a lot of oppertunities to fly a kolb but never did and he wants to fly my kolb if I ever get it to the airport. These Kolbs do seem like they are a lot of fun, I can't wait and may possibly be getting mine in the air in the next couple of weeks. Happy flying.
Greg
