| I was glad to hear Ralph is OK. One more testimonial for the
crashworthy

Again, Dennis, ya got that right.
Another testimonial that Kolbs do not fly below stall speed, with or
without factoring in the tree line, mysterious phantom winds, and poor
pilotage.
Landing at 25 feet AGL will also break your mkIII. How do I know?
Well........really I don't know about 25 feet, but I do know 30 feet
will wipe the landing gear off the bottom of my mkIII, knock the
glasses off my nose and out from under David Clark ear cups, and put
big black and blue marks on the bottom of my thighs from the forward
seat tube, and contusions on my skinny shins from the bottom of the
instrument panel. I had my flaps at 20 degrees. Maybe that is why my
mkIII did not get as much damage as Ralph's. I do know that pilotage
has nothing to do with final results, because once the mkIII stalls at
25 feet, the pilot becomes an instant passenger. hehehe Voice of
experience.
