Vic and others, my lady friend indicated recently that she MIGHT
try a ride in the Kolb. Inspiration like that gave me enough ambition
to strap and bungee three salt bags, 40 lbs ea. into the empty seat
last night. This morning was pleasant with sun and a mild east wind,
60F. Take off was with one notch flaps and four trim.
Roll was increased from the usual 300' to about 600' on soft grass.
The flaps worked well but were no help after achieving a decent
elevation over interstate 90. Retracting resulted in a comfortable,
non-struggling climb and normal cruise.
Left turn on departure was over a couple folks laying out lines
for a possible new house. I could almost hear them thinking.
I stayed far enough to the side so a salt bag wouldn't hit them.
I was impressed with how much more solid the plane felt with
the 120 lbs added. Minor winds are much less noticeable.
Landing was same as ever.
BB, MkIII, suzuki, 60 hours
approx. 890 lbs lifted to date
