Group,  what a fine day!  Off through the fading fog banks and into

the sun.  Attended a fly in breakfast at what we lowlanders call

high altitude;  1600MSL

5 miles from home its time to gain a little altitude because the terrain

near home is inhospitable.  Engine does one of those "interruptions"

Not good.  Throttle back and review the situation.  Engine still

running.  Looking for respectable landing spot.  A little farther on

I (finally) notice the temp gauge is pegged.  hmmm

A wheatfield on the edge of a nearby village has a trail through it.

Can't be too picky.  Circle and land with no damage.

Hose came off at elbow out of head.  Lousy design, I followed the

redrive vendor's method.  That will have to be modified.

The engine must have run for at least 10 minutes with no water.

The oil cooler I put on it must have kept things turning.

A friendly local fetched me some water and a screwdriver, I stuck

it back together, flew home.

 From the scratchy feel that wasn't there before I must have screwed

up the rings and walls. It looks like BB may be walking for a spell.

Sorry to hear it, Bob, but nothing was hurt, so that at least is good news. 

Kind of a sorry club, ain't it ??                       Lar.

Glad to hear you were not hurt and nothing was damaged Bob.  I would not put you in the "BigLAr" club though.  Your misfortune was due to a mechanical failure.



Big Lar has caused his own problems with Vamoose.  After reading about Lars trailer fiasco, I understood exactly why his plane has never flown.  Constant bad choices and the inability to accomplish anything.   Just endless excuses from Lar and 5 years of one fiasco after another blamed on everything but his own incompetence.

Group, I wondered whether to respond to this one.....



I consider Lar a good friend.  Has nothing to do with his

owning a Kolb or whatever.  Kolbs and this list are what were

responsible for our meeting.  It could have been stamp collecting

or bowling.  Makes no diff.  I know the majority here feel the same.



I admit to spending a few hours today feeling sorry for myself.

Screwing up is something I do with regularity but somehow I

manage to get up the next day and make a fresh start.



Let us hear no more of this kind, it adds nothing and takes away

everything.

Max,

I do not know if your post on Big Lar was in jest or a personal attack. I

have met Larry a few times and he is a good friend and very knowledgeable of

many things, not just planes. I can understand why Larry has not finished

his MKIII, as he is involved with so many other things besides finishing his

Kolb.

Bob B. thanks for your post stating the same, this list is for sharing our

experiences and friendships through our postings. 

Larry if it is okay with you I would like to join your club and stand beside

you my friend.

Bob,

Glad to hear you made it safely to terrafirma, I'm betting you beat Lar back 

into the air by a good year or three.

Wow Max,

Easy does it there big fellow, we jag around with Lar but keep it in good 

taste, he has quite a project on his hands with that engine conversion and 

just getting VaMoose to it's current state of completion is no small feat.



Keep your chin up Big Lar,

Just one question:  What did you do with the money?



You know, the money for the Dale Carnegie course you never took.



  

P.S.:  You've found a real quick way to my 'ignore' list, bud.

I don't think that one little "Snip" is going to get Big Lar down. He is 

much bigger than that and also a man I can call  my friend.

Hi Lar/Robert/Dave/Everyone,



First of all I think Robert and Dave said it best:



"Let us hear no more of this kind, it adds nothing and

takes away

everything."

-BB



"You don't need to defend yourself from this kind of

bullshit!  You're a friend and Kolb building/flying is

a hobby and we "play" with our hobbies in our own way

and in our own time."

AzDave



As for Lar,



I think everyone that has met him, and/or followed his

project, respects his character and engineering

abilities, and realizes he likes to invent and

improve.  That causes the project to move slower than

someone intent only on 'getting into the air'.  We all

benefit from this experimentation by learning what

works, and what doesn't.  He is also particularly

friendly and helpful with all his friends, a quality

far more important, I believe, than the speed at which

he builds.

$%#^%$#^%$#^%#$%^



I can't say in public what should be said but please think about what you 

type before you send.



I'm in the BigLar club also. If any one picks on the Lar other than me it 

gets my hackles up.

Hi All,



Isn`t this a strange phenomenon?  Somebody picks on Big Lar, who is a person 

most of us have never met and probably never will. He is known to us 

exclusively from his posts on the list. Each of us has a different idea of 

the man, how he talks, dresses, moves...and yet.... someone has the nerve to 

criticise and..



POW !  Everyone is up in arms swarming to his defence. I feel personally 

affronted that anyone should have the temerity to suggest that Big Lar is 

anything less than perfect.



Now isn`t that odd?



Cheers



Pat

Odd? Maybe not.

We feel the same way about defending Winnie the Pooh.

Or Shrek.
