Great flying, Will   . I wish that it was that easy to fly low in Georgia! I have been lying low recently as I have been deciding on a next project. I hope to have a Waiex kit delivered in Feb  .

Don't worry, the Firestar is going nowhere and will someday have a big brother in the hangar with her...

Since "Low and Slow"is a relative term, here is a link to 5 videos from the Kolbra or standing by it:

Hi John W:



The Sand Dune Video brings back some fond memories of several years 

ago.



Do you have the video you shot on our flight down the Texax coast last 

year?

Why in the world did they cut so many roads in the desert? New  subdivision?

I don't know, it  has been like that for a least 30 years.  I guess someone tried  to start a new subdivision when gas was less expensive and just didn't make  a go of it.

Hi Larry, 

 I did some asking around and found out the roads  were cut for colonias.  The city could not afford to annex them because  once annexed the city would have to install all infrastructure. This was a  thorn in it's side because they couldn't expand it's tax base. After  the roads were cut colonias were outlawed, a law was passed prohibiting  the sale of small lots unless they had utilities. In a nut  shell, depriving low income families from affording property.

  

  

Colonias  lack essential elements of infrastructure. They are unincorporated community located within 150 miles of  the U.S.-Mexico border, with a population of less than 10,000 that is low and  very low income, and which lacks safe, sanitary and sound housing, as well as  services such as potable water, adequate sewage systems, drainage, streets and  utilities. 

  

Colonias  are usually found in rural areas. Subdivisions are usually created out of cheap  desert land. Usually it is not in a city's interest to annex a colonia because  it would subsequently be required to provide it with such city services as  water, electricity, and sewage, even though the tax revenue from annexed  colonias would probably not cover the cost of installation and use of services.  Counties, under whose jurisdiction colonias tend to be, are usually not required  to render such services. 

  

In  contrast with shantytowns in other parts of the world, however, most residents  actually do legally own the land on which they reside

  

 To make this post Kolb relevant here are some  pictures flying over the desert taken a couple of weeks ago.

 

  

 Regards,

  

Will
