 |
|
I have recently sold the plans I had for the Mk II to a guy in OH. He is re-building a kolb.
It was suggested that I scan & distribute the plans here on-list. Not only am I not able to scan items that large, it would be an infringement of copy-right.
Hopefully, the sharing of these historical plans can continue; anyone with the capability to scan large items could contact Kolb and ask if they would object to that type of sharing.
I remember meeting & speaking with Barbara at the old Kolb factory several times. If you knew her, you will quickly recognize the grammar patterns in the pictured assembly manual. I asked her about it years ago, and she admitted her contributions. I could "hear" her speaking as I read.

Malcolm;
As another not one of the great speller this far out from the sun, I do find that a spell checker is a great helper in posting on the internet. From what I gather just about every mail program has an embedded spell checker. So the question and suggestion is why not let the computer help you out with it, it will make your communications much better.
Sometimes I think that there are some people that intentionally want to misspell so as to establish their genuineness with the common man. Well it may be cute for a short time, and that's about it.
Not a criticism merely an opinion; worth what you pay for it.

my first kolb was a firestar KXP I bout it from Homer it was one of the factory built demo planes all the guys flew her she had the 7 rib wing 447 and no N number. that was then, NOW most would tell you its not a good idea, but last summer we sold Dick Rayhills FS11 with no n#
for $7K . Curently you will not find a plane for sale on My web site that has no N# contrary to what you mite read about me in resent posts. the hole N# and UL thing will alwase be a topic of great debate. BTW I will be posting a nice low time MK3 extra with a jab 2200 in a couple days.

Education is a relative term and is subject to the standards set forth by the judging party. Hence a brain surgeon is well versed on the human brain but would be relatively ignorant in a discussion with a proctologist! Never the less they could have a meaningful discussion about HMO's and frivolous law suits and mutually enjoy the various different prospectives. One might even argue that the brain surgeon and proctologist, both doctors, view the same person from opposite ends! 
The same argument could be made about aviation safety. Is it safe to do a snap roll on take off??? The answer is both yes and no, neither one is necessarily correct. If a newbie sport pilot tries it, it is reasonable to call it unsafe however, if Shaun Tucker were to do it nobody would call it unreasonably dangerous or foolish!
Also what exactly is a safe, properly registered EAB airplane any how? Who knows? One FSDO's answer frequently varies quite a lot from another. What makes an EAB airworthy...the DAR and the paper work not necessarily the airplane. My friend has flown some "Certificated" "Real" airplanes that were far less physically airworthy than a non-certificated EAB's. What makes an airplane airworthy??? The paper work not the airplane. Is it legal to fly an airplane out of annual, YES. Is it legal to fly an airplane with broken parts, yes! Is it legal to fly through class B airspace without a transponder, YES! Why, because of paperwork, if paperwork is all in order then all these things become not only legal but safe if executed properly.
As for the discussion taking place on a public, open forum....You hit the nail on the head of one of the major, major problems with aviation! If an individual has a question or situation that falls outside of what most consider the norm, who can he or she discuss it with? Most just bury it or hide it or pretend it never happened out of fear of false accusations/assumptions by others. That being the case more often then not, how then as aviators, are we to learn as well as teach others!
I opened this thread for "My friend" because if the question/thought crossed his mind then I find it entirely likely this is not the first time the issue has come up!
Perhaps if we can discuss it for what it is then rather than calling foul...we can all learn a little something and be safer and better educated in the end!!!!!
