Many if not most of you other free spirited drivers will enjoy this sound tape. Since it is rather small and is sound only, you slow hook-up individuals can access it also.



Very fitting in the light of all the bad guys with guns and the regular joes unable to defend themselves.



Packing at our airport here in Ohio, Ralph.

Hey Ralph,



What is the relevance to anything Kolb related.



We all have access to the internet and can find that kind of stuff for ourselves.

Cap'n., In your list-be-nots, you left out an more sinister object: the quoting ad nauseum of the post(s) under scrutiny. Just a precis should be sufficient, especially when the thread threatens to become a hawser.



eye, eye, and a short arm salute

Well your all right. Do not archive. I carry, and I am an instructor in Ohio and do carry in my plane and all our drivers carry at our field. I drive a Kolb.



I believe that covers all areas of conversation, short of the Big gumn is a 1911 Colt full size military issue firing Plus P Powerballs. The double barreled Darenger is out of Texas and is  known as the Bond Arm snake killer. It is a Colt LOng and 410 slug pistol, good for apporximatly 15 feet with accuracy.

Not too excited about all the asides; some just bore me, and usually I am 

viewing the list to learn more about getting the red recalcitrant Kolb 

safely airborne and back again with me aboard and packing, but packing 

camera or cameras  when upstairs. Found  long ago that there is this little 

gadget built in computer programs called "Delete" a cousin to the "Blab off" 

or "Mute" button on the TV  to allay the unwanted. It works. I use it.



That aside; on a flight from Nairobi to Addis  Ababa, I learned the 

Ethiopian, trim, green-jacketed guys who checked my luggage carefully and 

visually also carried it to the plane then flew to Addis with us as 

stewards. A few weeks before, I learned, a "terr'ist" tried to take over one 

of their planes and they merely carved him to pieces.



Wonder, Russ, what a .22 hp would do passing through the aluminum and how 

that might effect depressurization of a 757 at 35 grand...?  I don't know 

too many airline pilots who are trained with weapons and I haven't met any 

of the sky marshals, that I know  of. Not sure what they pack, or what their 

groundrules are on type bullets or calibers or use.



Now, should I fly the Mark III  with that gigantic vertical trim removed or 

not? Taxied and hot taxied  and seemed like I had some rudder effect on the 

ground without  the 12x7" hunk of bent aluminum on the tail...?  What's the 

worst scenario?

You might try it without the rudder trimtab. My Firestar doesn't have or 

need one, a Mark III that I owned for a while did not have or need one. By 

all means leave it off if you can. The worst that is going to happen is that 

you will have to hold some right rudder to keep going straight.

Thanks Larry, exactly  what I thought,   I was holding a heavy foot of right 

rudder before I got the red one trimmed over time. Dennis in ABQ said if I 

were still holding right rudder with that trim tab on, it should probably be 

turned to the opposite direction. Makes sense. So I took it off as an 

intermediate step. One friend who runs Intermountain Air in SLC, Utah,  an 

A&P, builder and really knowledgeable guy, Arnie Richins,  said a beveled 

length of balsa taped to vertical trailing edge of rudder with "fat" edge 

back would be a good test and could be added easily to whichever side needed 

it and even  painted to match if it became a permanent fixture.
