to add a bit of levity.....a new bee to this list, who hints at
criticism of the Kolb line of airplanes... normally has a life span akin
to a guy in a tailored suit and derby hat. carrying a cane and walking
into a biker bar!! Saying something such as "could I have a glass of
water for me and my poodle".
Homer was a perfect gentleman...but he was not God as Bro Pike just
shown...were he not constrained by contractual obligations, I am sure he
would have been making, suggesting improvements along the way...
And the one thing I took away from meeting him a couple of
times...was that ...he was very careful not to criticize... I remember
him looking at the Firestar 1 with the half vw mounted and saying " sure
does vibrate" 
Plane less Herb....in Ky...

Herb/Kolbers:
I believe I remember that. It was at one of the Kolb fly ins at Chesnut Knolls Airfield. Wasn't the VW hard mounted?
It is a little annoying when a new comer hits the List and begins criticizing "our" aircraft, especially if they hint what we are flying is unsafe. It is especially annoying when the criticizer has no hands on experience with our airplanes and we don't know who he is.
As Reverend Pike suggests many times, I am an old Kolb curmudgeon. I've spent a lot of time building and flying these little airplanes for the last 32 years. I am very proud of our Kolbs and the people who build and fly them. We are different from "normal" aviators.  I take umbrage when someone, especially someone I do not know, begins tearing my airplane apart.
I've been on the Kolb List for 18 years. When I got here I posted a little note of who I was, where I was from, what I had done, what I fly, and what I like to do. If Bill B posted his mini-bio I probably missed it. I've been on the road for a few days and haven't been up to date on my email. Right now I don't know this guy other than the fact he has a Kolb elevator hinge fetish.

Hello John H., yes I am still flying the FS and enjoying it...sure a fun airplane and cheap to operate.....at my age I have to be a bit more careful with my concentration....and pre flight....I don't wander far from home, but visit some of the local people I know...will soon get the F.S. out and give it a good cleaning also need to do some service work on it.....I seem to just want to fly it and let the work part go...also at my age I am glad that I only have a single place....I don't think a person would have real good judgement to ride with me and yet some still want to and I would have a hard time turning them down..I should have kept tract of how many people I gave their lst ride in a plane.......if I was younger I would be all for flying and a camping....the Kolb would be a fun plane to do it with........as you well know.....
