Why thank you men. You can train an old dog  new tricks.

 If an over 60 carpenter can build a Kolb and fly it  anyone can.

  

 Fact is I can't remember being that scared. I  really didn't need the

 Xtra pair of under garments though.

 I'm on the ground but I'll be high all  day!

Vic,

  

 I was considered an old man when I soloed at 29 in  1968.  My contemporaries were late teens and early twenties.

Vic,



GOOD for you. And you are fortunate to live in such a wild and beautiful area. 



I landed our Cherokee 140 at Millinocket due to low oil pressure on my first x-country trip in it, on the way to Presque Isle, ME. I learned at that stop that my new-to-me engine was using oil at the rate of one quart per 3 hours flight. It turned out that the cylinders were glazed from poor break-in technique after major overhaul by previous owner.



I sure am glad Millinocket was where it was when the oil pressure went south. Lots of forest in all directions with no good place to put down a Cherokee.



I know you are going to enjoy your Kolb.

In addition to a lot of treess, is a lot of water.  I remember seeing a 

moose and a what I thought was a J3 Cub on floats on my approach to the big 

paper mill and Millinocket AP right at dark.  Turns out the J3 Cub was 

actually a J3 or N3 Kitten ultralight.  Looked like a full sized Cub in the 

air.

Thom/John

Your right Trees and Water. We do have the "Golden Road" and 95. Neither one 

very

busy. That's probaby not where crap would happen though.

Parachute and some but protection would be the next choice.

Anyone know what happens when a Kolb lands on water?



John

The guy that gave you a ride to the restaurant here in Millinocket is now 

the airport manager.

The N3 Pup is in eastern Maine being rebuilt after running out of fuel.



I was not here in 94' but bought my first part of the Kolb kit then after a 

visit to Oshkosh in 92'.

Where you there? Didn't build until 07-08.



Yawl come visit again Y'hear

still grinnin

Vic,



Without floats a Kolb, like most airplanes, will likely flip over if "landing" on water. I've not pulled that stunt and hope never to do so, but have flipped one on a grass field after knocking the axle assembly off in a pot hole landing.



do not archive

Pull the Navy trick and dip a wing tip into the water just above stall and back into the drink
